alarm
There is a quadrilateral when a person is evil, crazy, obsessed with anti-Semitism, and has totalitarian power. Having all 4 characteristics can bring into manifestation an evil that one does not see without the other factors. There should be some sort of alarm bell built to recognize when this merger happens. Ahmadinejad of Persia has it. Granted the people of Persia are not crazy and are fighting him but they presently they don't have the power. When the bad are armed and the good is unarmed, the result is a bloodbath, whether the media focuses on it or not. 4 is the number of manifestation. It is interesting that the Nazi symbol had 4 spokes. It is interesting that the Hamantashen by which to remember Haman is a triangle with depth to it as well.
Excellent!
Excellent point to make at Purim, Thank you Lori. I just looked up why Persia changed its name to Iran and the story on the internet says that the Naziis suggested it to stand for the word Aryan.
quick correction on Zionism
When I mentioned Zionism earlier, I meant to say that it is one of the most MISunderstood words that evil minds will use out of context.
G-d's light in this world
I enjoyed this immensely. I am not Jewish but believe with all my heart that they are G-d's chosen people and through them spiritual light is in our world. I faithfully pray for Israel and the Jewish people's protection and that the Nation's of the world will benefit from their G-d given correct spirtual knowlege and they too may become righteous and pleasing to G-d. I now know what Purim is about and the dire importance of remembering and recognizing evil in the past and yet in existence. We too, righteous Gentiles of the world must do all that we can to protect Israel and support her and her people in every possible way.
Never forget......
Dear Lori, I always so enjoy your commentary and you are so right by warning us to be on guard and to never forget. Like Hitler and his henchmen, the evil people of our present time are hard at work to put the Jews in the worst daylight possible and to make people believe we Jews deserve to be regarded with suspicion, distrust and total disregard. We must be strong and be aware, just like my parents and grandparents were when they saw the signs early-on of what was to be with Adolf Hitler at the helm......that awareness "saved" us from the deathcamps of Europe. May the God of Israel be with us always.
