Torah perspective
A flag kicked in Manhattan cannot undo what prophecy sealed. The Jewish people's return to their land after two millennia of exile is not a political accident but the unfolding of a Divine promise. Those who call for a 'globalization of the intifada' rage against a reality they cannot change: the land of Israel has been given, and no amount of trampling will revoke the gift. The Hebrew word for 'inheritance' (nachalah) shares its root with 'river' (nachal) because a true inheritance flows continuously, like water, from its source. The flag they kick is not a piece of cloth. It is the visible sign of a bond that predates every empire that ever ruled there. Their fury is the echo of a truth they refuse to see.
