As the poetess asks in her poem, \u201cWhy does the whole world blame us\u2026?\u201d As Jews, we love to count those prominent representatives our people gave to the world and the things we contributed. Yet somehow, the world pays no attention to our credits; on the contrary, it hates us and regards us as superfluous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is clearly a paradox: we are the smallest nation, which has contributed to the world more than any other nation, without even a land of our own. We are still trying to prove to the world that we can be useful, that we are just like the others, hoping to get our own place in this world. But no one ever considered us to be like the others! Let us stop rationalizing the irrational. This is not about religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution to our eternal problem can only be found in the Higher World. That is why the Torah was given to us. If we use it correctly, to seek the Creator, then the world will live in peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no other way to stop terror. Our stubbornness will lead to disasters. I do not blame anyone. I am just pointing out the problem and its solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Q: Why do you believe you have the right to blame Israel for its misfortunes?
