For the wider world Jews represent Judaism. Even when an individual Jew has abandoned every speck of Jewish identity or practice. Judaism is hated because it proves that G-d exists. That He is real and that ultimately there are consequences for behavior. Human beings bridle at rules and regulations that are imposed upon them. That is natural and in some cases good and can lead to a better world. Yet when people ignore the rules for life given by the Almighty the outcome is always the same- disaster.
Those of the left or the right share one trait in common- their desire to impose their will on others. These leftists or rightists are challenged by the reality that a G-d exists whose rules for mankind are beyond their manipulation. Try as they can neither leftists or rightists can fully impose themselves on others as long as Judaism proclaims, Jewish existence proves and the state of Israel confirms that there is a Judge beyond their influence and control. That is why Judaism, the Jews, and now Israel, are hated, because we represent a Truth that can not be overcome.
Israel is hated because it represents the Truth of Judaism.
” The most significant aspect of the establishment of the state of Israel is the fact that Jews through the ages knew it was to come. ”
Rabbi Eliezer Berkovits, Faith after the Holocaust
