Ultra-Orthodox Israeli rabbi Moshe Hirsch, quoted in The rabbi who mourned Arafat:
- "I am praying for him because Arafat was a man who devoted his entire life to his people... I’m very sad as he was a great leader who always differentiated between the Jewish people and Zionism....
"We first made contact with Arafat about 30 years ago when he was living abroad, following a string of Palestinian attacks that claimed victims in the Orthodox community... We asked him to spare a community that had dissociated itself from the Zionist project, and he promised to do so."
I don't share the rabbi's opinion, but find it quite interesting.
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
