St. Michael
I don't think we can "clear" our society of nefarious Jewish influences written about now in many non-conformist blogs. But with all things that start with a premise of negativity, the author of that negativity eventually has the danger of getting sucked into the negativity. Showing up "Bad Jews" doesn't necessarily advocate for "better people," but has the danger of staying stuck with the "bad."
Look at nice people who curse (f..., s...., etc., etc.). It is a surprise to see it coming from them but they (often through a job or other coerced socialization) end up using those words. Once or twice is enough to mar the "purity" of that person. I would say after the second time, since the first could have been a slip or a frank uncensored conversation between friends. It is kind of hard to resume normal innocent friendship after such an episode, since such a behavior was so unexpected.
So it is with anti-Judaism. Once it may be a simple outburst, and perhaps a rare but periodic outburst in times of deep tension can be allowed to occur.
But rather than create a narrative around negatives, why not work around positives?
Such as: "Well we have this tremendous banking problem in Wall Street, so why don't we make laws and regulations to protect those people, and especially the middle-lower classes, who work so hard to add to their savings, to do so more RESPONSIBLy."
Or better yet: "Why don't we apply our recently graduated youth, who are apparently jobless now, to use their brains, training and creativity to find different ways to handle money so that it doesn't disappear with a puff of smoke whenever China decides to inflate/deflate its currency, or some financial institution in New York manipulates interest rates."
God knows what is going on (no this isn't an exasperated exclamation but a statement of Biblical fact). We are God's warriors, NOT his correctors. We ASK and WAIT for guidance from Him, our ultimate Commander. How do we know what plans He has for the Jews, those Chosen People?
But we have a bigger enemy to fight: God's first betrayer. Lucifer. And he has found the crevices and leaks into our spiritual armor to find his way around our hearts and souls. We need to mend our shields and our connection to our God. Those are what will make us into warriors for Christ, and warriors of Christ.
Let us stand up to the cherished task.
