In order to evade the natural state of
anxiety, fear, and suffering, men appoint a monarch
over themselves to whom they cede their natural liberty in return for peace and
security.
But the understandable
anxiety of American Jews
over the future of Israel — especially when they hear of rocket attacks by terrorists against villages in northern Israel (and of Israel's massive retaliation)-- should not lead American Jews to think that unceasing pressure against the president, the Congress and public opinion in this country represents the best means of ensuring Israel's future
security.
