Your point and purpose with this outburst Arch?
Does this continue to "justify" the endless cycle of killing?
I have pointed out to you, on numerous occasions, what Arafat and PLO/PLA and Hamas have said and writtten on what occupation and Israel means to them.....to you this is an endless cycle of Israel taking and invading and yet, despite your continued defense, and others, on thier behalf for giving back what is rightly theirs...you FAIL to realize that even giving back what is "rightly" theirs will eventually not fulfill what the overall goal and agenda(s) are....why is that?
Are you still blinded by that fact that the ONLY TRUE SOLUTION is the eradication and destruction of Israel and Jews? Seems so....so be it.

Balance.
From your persepctive it may seem that I am playing a sort of 'devils advocate', but from my persepctive I am providing a balance. For every action there are at least two perceptions created. If you understand everything from one perspective then you know less than half of the truth.
In order to see the full truth you must not choose a side. The moment you do you yourself have become trapped in a dialectic struggle.

(Exodus 25:8), "And they shall make for Me a sanctuary, and I will dwell among them."
According to the Rambam, the Jewish people must build the Third Temple any way they can, at any time they can accomplish the task.
If it is real to them then it is their reality. You cannot be the judge of their theological beliefs, and neither can I, or anyone else.
I understand this, and Jewish law far more than you realize.
That would be your opinion. Their opinion is that they are correct. Just because you do not believe it does not mean that they belive it.
The group is not so small, and there is no correct, or incorrect in a persons theological beliefs. They are what they are. If anything would be incorrect it would be your position that they are incorrect.
This is a responsibilty you have placed on yourself, and not authority given. I think that it is more correct to say that you are promoting your agenda, and are imposing your views on others.
Actually anyone who reads the Talmud is not supposed to talk about it, so you are wrong to even bring it up.
