Israel was founded on religious principal. Why is it rabbis in America have to speak to this? America is giving $230 million to rebuild Lebanon... this is insane.
Defeating Islamic terrorism will not come with military or police action. It will come with conversion to Christianity.
Actually, Israel was founded by secular people who were somewhat anti religious in their orientation. That is one of the key problems facing Israel. If one does not believe in Judaism per se then Israel does not have a strong philosophical foundation. When you ask people to fight fanatics and risk their lives and suffer for something that is hard to define you have trouble getting people excited to do that.
