“Freedom of expression depends only on the courage of your convictions.” – Natan Sharansky
The metanarrative of prophetic scripture is superimposed upon history, past, present and future. Therefore, aside from current events as viewed from a geo-political, cultural, or moral perspective, there is the overarching prophetic march of time that encompasses these events. There is also the historical perspective, wherein is seen repeating cycles of ideologies, rising over and over again in different manifestations of its predecessors. Unfortunately, history repeats itself, when we do not learn from the past mistakes of previous generations.
Outside of Israel, perhaps, the realization of the existential situation wherein Israel is united for its own survival, falls upon deaf ears. If the differences between the Left and Right have been set aside for the sake of meeting this existential threat, shouldn’t the same be true amongst Diaspora Jews? Moreover, the consensus amongst Israelis is clear in regard to the prospects for peace with the Palestinians: this will not occur unless Hamas is dismantled. The Israeli Left is disillusioned, and has realized the truth about the futility of bargaining with terrorists; yet, the Woke ideologues in America and elsewhere around the globe, are still blinded by their Marxist mentality.
Speak the truth from your heart, and if you are unable to speak the truth out loud, speak the truth silently within your heart, so that, at least, you will know what you believe, without external influence persuading you otherwise. Yet, always make sure to “live not by lies.” If something does not resonate with you, examine that something; however, do not be completely subjective in your analysis; objectivity is required, because truth is not relative. If we say that truth is relative, then all truth breaks down into personal perspectives. Yet, truth, value, and morals exist independently of our own subjective thoughts, and worldview.
