That is an interesting thought that God keeps the two houses of evil divided. If you think about World War II that is an excellent point. But of course God is always in control.Viola Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146967423654966140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-13462337893497737162009-02-01T19:24:00.000-08:002009-02-01T19:24:00.000-08:00Viola,I find this subject fascinating in that it e...Viola,<BR/>I find this subject fascinating in that it exposes a truth that few people admit even though it's incredible that so many can't see it. The far right and the far left who are anti-Israel (most are) are anti-Israel not due to ideology, but because they are both <I>evil</I>. One definition of evil is "one who is against God's people". Might sound weird, but it's absolutely true.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind, the reason the far right and the far left both tend to hate Israel is that their goal is to control everything. The keyword here isn't left or right but FAR. Truly, they do not belong on the same plank as the center-left or center-right. When one's goal is not to convince but subvert their neighbor, the game is over; war has begun. I only hope we recognize it.<BR/><BR/>I'm not a novice on this issue, by the way. I was a political science major, an agnostic who lost his battle with the Bible and now, for several years, has taught it, and I married the daughter of a Venezuelan politician. So this news that Chavez's thugs attacked a Jewish synagogue is no surprise to me. It's to be expected. <BR/><BR/>God's hand can clearly be seen in the division between the two houses of evil; far right and far left. Just as He divided Hitler and Stalin politically, and put a wall between Mao and Stalin culturally, evil will always be a divided house as long as God is in control. <BR/><BR/>Jim Jordan<BR/>Fort Lauderdale, FLJim Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456957270007304493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-75620838552782705372009-02-01T17:17:00.000-08:002009-02-01T17:17:00.000-08:00John,I think they may have admired each other but ...John,<BR/>I think they may have admired each other but didn't they also hate each other?

In Germany, some of the neo-Nazis admired the ruthlessness of the Red Army Faction and wanted to approach them for a tactical alliance. <BR/><BR/>John Erthein<BR/>Erie, PAPresbymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673477298859022278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-10098961435023610892009-02-01T12:48:00.000-08:002009-02-01T12:48:00.000-08:00I forgot for both of us--you need to leave your na...I forgot for both of us--you need to leave your name, city and state.<BR/><BR/>Sacramento,<BR/>CaViola Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146967423654966140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-39971210729355913542009-02-01T12:45:00.000-08:002009-02-01T12:45:00.000-08:00Jim, thanks for your comments.

I have even read papers where some of the left is admonishing others to beware of those in their movement who are rightist. <BR/><BR/>One of the reasons for this is that both far right socialist and far left socialist hate capitalism. Another reason is the new emphasis on the environment a subject that surprisingly has always in the far past been an issue for the far right, not the far left. Another area is the indigenous peoples this was also a far right issue only along the lines of nationalism. Now it is an international issue but could break down into various nationalisms. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, this is the main reason there is a huge amount of anti-Semitism in the leftist movements.Viola Larsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146967423654966140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7560220615271337359.post-12077983938102476572009-02-01T06:06:00.000-08:002009-02-01T06:06:00.000-08:00You have Chavez as a "far rigth" dictator.

Chavez's god is himself and, by extension, his government. Anti-semitism runs deeper than that, though. One thing can be clearly said; Those who hate Israel aren't all Marxists, but those who hate Israel are all evil.Jim Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456957270007304493noreply@blogger.com
