excellent point, excellent..
or maybe better, the Israelis should finally obey the good Lord for a change...
Deut. 20:17:
But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee
They are facing the same decision that they made when they chose to leave Egypt or to stay in the World at that time. It is easy for us to say that that should have been a no brainer, but I believe that Hashem (the Name of the Lord) made it a difficult choice because they had to give up everything to go to their “Promised Land”, based on faith. That is exactly the choice that the Diaspora has to make today - give up home and go to the Promised Land, or stay. What a choice! Faith is belief that something is true when it is not perceptible to the five senses. I believe that all in the Diaspora are being given a choice. If you recall, according to the Sages, a third to a half of Jews stayed in Egypt. I do not believe that all Jews will make Aliyah, just as it was in the Exodus. (In my humble opinion.)
Scary.. the Jebusites were still around last election >.<
