Quoted from the August 2007 fundraising newsletter issued by the IMJA
His was a contextual reference to Jewish pride. You heard me right: "Jewish Pride," a.k.a. the greatest oxymoron since "Muslim Intelligence." If Jews had any pride, let alone the right kind of pride-- in their G-d, in their identity, in their land-- they wouldn't be surrendering their homes to Muslim interlopers, let alone condescending to Christian supporters in monthly fundraiser mailings.
This is the second month in a row Paul Liberman has felt the need to praise Christians at Jewish expense. Since when did we become traitors to our own people? Since when did Yeshua say it was okay to down yourself in the name of dollars? All puns intended, that doesn't make any sense.
"And having chosen them, He called them to come to Him. And having called them, He gave them right standing with Himself. And having given them right standing, He gave them His glory." --Romans 8:30
We aren't in a position to bow down to anyone. Unfortunately, until we realize this truth and abide in it, we will forever be doomed to self-subjugation at the hands of the powers that seek to keep us powerless by the simple act of denying our rightful pride as servants of the Most High G-d.
