A Rabbi published an essay entitled "When Kindness kills..." where he arguments in favor of war as a means to achieve peace. One can argue about anything we...
Brown Rose What did he answer you with? I can't believe a rabbi didn't come back with something. Or what did he really mean? Did you think about that? ...
... <<Brown Rose What did he answer you with? >> He didn´t answer yet. Either he has the answer already, which, in that case, he doesn´t need to reforce...
... <<i only question, i don´t issue judgements.>> False, of course. i do make judgements. But like Jacob, i do not wage war against others in order to...
Brown Rose, Was this rabbi someone you were dealing with on line, or up front? I'm just curious and would be interested, if you don't mind, in what he...

Yup. That's the long and the short of it, Chava. Pardon me if I don't continue. I have to get my jump-bag ready for an assignment next week. Josiah ... ...

Chava, Don't forget the Mexican War which was nothing less than a war of aggression and acquistion. Perhaps war and disaster really are scalpels. Once...
... It's also in our hands, because we have to respond to the situation as it happens. Hashem (IMO) can only react through us. Though I'm wary of a medical...
May you have a Merry Christ-mass and a Happy New Year with lots of Love (and extras :-)) Brown [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
As promised, i´m posting the reply of the martial-rabbi, and my response to him. <<So please, don't (just) be religious. Don't (just) be secular. Be REAL. ...

This is a very interesting conversation, but I think we need someone to take up the other side of it here (I have valid grounds for recusal). Any takers? ... ...
