I happen to be Jewish and a religious Jew at that and I can find nothing offensive as Jew coming from Sarah Palin. Indeed, I wish her and John McCain the best and I hope they are successful in winning the election. In fact, I fail to discern any animosity from most Christians. I have met and talked with Christians, decent and moral people, who wished to convert me to Christianity, as well as Jews for Jesus, who struck me as just decent people who were rather confused about Judaism and Christianity.
I have to break the news to you, but Judaism has nothing to either fear or hate in Christianity. Our Jewish Faith is the oldest, most logical, most charitable, most generous, and the greatest religion in the history of the world. Jewish learning and spirituality can more than hold it’s own with Christianity and it’s offspring, Jews for Jesus. Our prayers, liturgy, and ritual are the most meaningful, beautiful, and elevating beating anything Christianity can offer, and our Torah and our People’s history are so rich and varied that just to be a Torah Jew is an exciting adventure.
Our problem as Jews is not Sarah Palin or Christianity, rather it is Jews who support and lead the most immoral and athiestic movements, who support abortion(murder) on demand, homosexuality, who excuse evil and criminality by blaming it on society or a person’s upbringing, who express their immorality and cause damage to society and young people by supporting the most iniquitous and ugly pornography, visual and musical, produced by the modern entertainment industry.
My Jewish God will punish all these evildoers, Jewish and Christian, so long as they persist in their evil acts, but will forgive them the moment they turn aside and seek repentence. That by the way is largely what Judaism, and to a great extent Judaism’s offshoot, Christianity, is all about. Living a good, decent, charitable, and just life for Jews according to the Torah’s demands, and as the entire Torah and the New Testament demands from Christians, including repenting when one does wrong, begging for forgiveness, and turning aside from an evil path. In political terms, I am thus forced by my Torah and my conscience to support John McCain and Sarah Palin, and to oppose with all my being, as a Jew, Barack Obama and Joseph Biden
