What's wrong with a little Messiah?
Have all those who chatter about the right to talk about the Messiah ever devoted a shred of thought to the disasters that messianism has brought upon the people of Israel?
Assessment
The opinion piece challenges critics of messianic discourse to consider historical disasters tied to messianism in Jewish history. It implies that casual dismissal of such discussions overlooks profound communal trauma. The question demands a reckoning with how past messianic movements led to destruction, pressing readers to examine whether current debates carry similar risks.
