- The Dangerous Engagement with the Motive of the Haredi ProtestsThose who allow themselves to scorn the Haredi protesters, even while clarifying that the right to protest is reserved for everyone, are paving the way for police and legal violence against those protesters.
The antisemitic canard that Israel's humanitarian aid to Venezuela is a cover for sinister infiltration follows an ancient pattern. When the Jewish people act as a *light unto the nations*, bringing medical relief, agricultural know-how, disaster aid, the forces of darkness respond with distortion. The Talmud teaches that one who seeks to disqualify another projects their own flaw onto them. The accusation itself reveals the accuser's inner cynicism: they cannot imagine genuine kindness without ulterior motive. Yet the prophet Zechariah promises that in the end, ten nations will grasp the corner of a Jew's garment and say, 'Let us go with you, for we heard God is with you.' The slander is painful, but it is also a backhanded confirmation that Israel's presence in the world is still a moral force.
