And They Say That Sacrifice is Immoral

AND THEY SAY THAT SACRIFICE IS IMMORAL

by Asher Keren

‘They’, of course, are the enlightened, the practical, the pluralists, the seekers of peace. Kadima, Labor, Peace Now, Seeds for Peace, the New Israel Fund, the Israeli Supreme Court, and even the Likud. These people claim to live by the highest of human ideals, such as modern education, globalized commerce, freedom and peace. They pursue these ideals according to the finest of Western humanitarian traditions, or at least how they understand these traditions. They are the Jews that hold Torah to their own light and interpret it according to their own worldview. So, for instance, the animal sacrifices performed in our Temples and by our priests were, perhaps, something acceptable then – but not now.

Today, sacrifice will not do. Not at all. Man should go above his instincts and needs without the need to sacrifice, to kill innocent animals, the claim being that mankind has evolved morally to a level whereby sacrifice is immoral – totally and completely. Sounds great, except that upon closer scrutiny, it seems that our enlightened and peace loving culture has replaced animal sacrifice with human sacrifice. And the first to applaud these sacrifices are these very same enlightened Jews who eschew the Torah and its seemingly primitive practices and messages.

You will find these enlightened at the ball games, paying good money for our modern gladiators to destroy their bodies by the age of thirty in return for fortune and fame. You will find them at the music festivals and the movie festivals hobnobbing with the lucky few that have given up almost every semblance of personal life for the accolades and fortunes heaped upon our cultural icons. You will find them accepting the Nobel Peace Prize together with a Palestinian tyrant that sent his people’s children off to suicide bombings. Over the last year, however, their appetite for human sacrifice has turned mightily as never before to one major group, the Jewish settlers in Judea and Samaria.

Let’s be honest. In the long run nobody will really do a thing to stop the Hamas takeover of the Palestinian governmental apparatus. Nothing. Maybe the enlightened will say a few harsh things about Hamas terrorism, but they all justify to themselves that the human sacrifice of the Hamas is really all about Israeli tyranny and therefore although not acceptable, it still is understandable. While the Hamas goes around sacrificing Israelis and Palestinians the enlightened will turn their sights to the appeasement sacrifice, the settlers. They will kick them out of their homes, destroy their families, livelihood and even lives because this is all part of the bigger agenda.

Appeasement in this case is another word for human sacrifice. The settlers are about to be pushed into oblivion by an enlightened agenda that is really an excuse for exhaustion and a lack of coming to terms with the reality of being a Jew. Their battle cry is as follows: ‘Let us sacrifice those Jews that bother us and them – those Jews that are strangers to the Western ideals we so dearly hold onto’. Of course, in the long run peace will not come through their sacrifices – only tragedy and the splitting of the Jewish people into a thousand little splinter groups.

The human sacrifice of the settlers is the only way for the enlightened to stay in power, to meet the cultural and political leaders of the world, to remain amongst those invited to the orgy like parties of the famous and rich. It is, after all, a small price to pay. But be warned, oh you enlightened! One day, yes one day in the not too distant future, you will not be invited as welcome guests to their parties anymore, although you will still be present. You will be at center stage, as are all sacrifices. And as you are carved up and served, remember those that you served up before…………..
