Each Friday we provide you with one of the week's most thought-provoking articles. | |  Convenient Moral Blindness
By Caroline Glick
Moral blindness in the face of evil is depravity. But in the upside-down moral universe of our world today, moral blindness has become a badge of honor. If you refuse to call evil by its name, then you are a moderate. And if you stand up to evil, you are yourself an extremist. The embrace of moral blindness as an emblem of sophistication is nowhere more apparent than among American Jews. Take recent events on US college campuses. This week the Washington Times reported that a large and vocal group of Brandeis University students are organizing to protest the university's decision to invite Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren to give this year's commencement address.

Each Friday we take a meaningful quote, tie it to scripture, and leave you with a take-home. |  Dennis Prager said: “If there is any group that should know the uniqueness of Nazi evil and should not want the evil of the Holocaust cheapened for political purposes, it is the Jews. Yet, there is at least a 50-50 chance that if you read or hear a public personality use Nazi imagery to describe conservatives, the person is a Jew. Specifically, a Jew on the Left. … As a Jew who has devoted much of his life to fighting anti-Semitism — from being sent by Israel to the former Soviet Union to aid Soviet Jews, to writing a book on anti-Semitism (“Why the Jews? The Reason for Anti-Semitism”), to serving on the board of directors of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum — I have always found any trivialization of Nazism and the Holocaust offensive. That Jews would do this — to fellow Americans, no less — and solely in order to serve their Left-wing politics is worse than offensive. It is immoral!”
God says: “In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations will come, and I will fill his house with glory.”… “A day of Yahweh is coming when your plunder will be divided among you. I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured, the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. Then Yahweh will go out and fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then Yahweh my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.” (Haggai 2:6-7; Zechariah 14: 1-5).
 The Jerusalem Connection says: From the vantage point of the Hebrew prophets the Holocaust would have to be seen as a preview of coming attractions. In other words, the worst is yet to come and the focus of the future will be not only on the Jews but on Christians as well. Remember, it’s the Saturday people first and then the Sunday people that are in the crosshairs of the Islamic Jihadists. The flippant attribution of “Nazi” on one’s political enemies will become a reality when a third (yes, that’s 2 billion plus) of mankind are killed by a Satanically controlled army (Revelation 9:13-18). Anticipating this, Jesus admonishes us to pray with confidence that he would not ask to pray for something that he did not intend to answer. “Be always on the watch and pray that you may have the power to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:36). | |  The Israel Song of Shma Israel
