One of the great problems with Americans is that - being a decent people - they assume that everyone else is equally decent.
There is the illusion of the world and the reality of the Torah.
The observant Jew has his own sense of values. Torah Judaism is his blueprint for this life, his target for existence.
Above all, it is not decency or goodness of gentleness that impresses the Middle East, but strength.
The difference is that if we turn from the Gentile first, we will have the Almighty as the immediate staff and our comfort. If not, we will have neither the Gentile nor, for a terrible stage, the Almighty.
I see all this and know that if we are to save the Jewish state and its three-and-a-half million Jews from terrible horrors, we must rise up and demand a fundamental change in the very system of government.
