Judaism’s wisdom, according to Rabbi Sacks, can be vital in planting the seeds that will lead to a renewal of the West

"In America, the social contract is still there, but the social covenant is being lost." – @RabbiSacks

"The social contract creates a state, but the social covenant creates a society. That is the difference. They’re different things."

Surely all this means is "politics is downstream from culture"? If so, isn't culture downstream from law and law from morality and religion? https://t.co/CC88yzQCPt

Surely the Americans separating the church from the state was really about quarantining Christianity from the government?

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

When the Americans  talked about separating the church from the state, they merely meant they didn't want an established church.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

The Americans didn't want an established church because the Pilgrim Fathers were victims of the religious persecution of the @c_of_e

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Why the Pilgrim Fathers left England

Christian-on-Christian religious persecution continued apace in America, according to the stories of Nathaniel Hawthorne.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

When the Christians tired of the religious persecution of each other, they then waged the American Civil War and still haven't got over it.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Let us not forget that Christians then started  WW1 and WW2. If there is a WW3, it will be between Russia and US, both Christian countries.

Jews have never done so well for themselves since their expulsion from Israel by Romans. It seems God if He exists was punishing the Jews.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Jews before the diaspora exile had a corrupt priesthood. The Sadducees were analogous to the liberal elite, the Pharisees to the Tea Party.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

The Sadducees were only interested in maintaining their priestly privileges, the Pharisees just wanted to follow the rules of the Torah.

It must be obvious that Christianity and democracy have failed, because morality is not being maintained and the government is not trusted.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

No moral regeneration of the West is possible if the abomination of gay marriage and trannycrap is being actively promoted.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

No moral regeneration of the West is possible if no fault divorce is not abolished and unmarried motherhood remains unpunished.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

It can be deduced that Christianity has failed when the most powerful church in the world fell to gay marriage in Catholic Ireland.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Huge Republic of Ireland vote for gay marriage

Justin Welby first pointed out that African Christians would be murdered by African Muslims if gay marriage became legal, but nobody cared.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

African Christians will be killed if C of E accepts gay marriage, says Justin Welby

Homophobia must not be tolerated in schools, Church of England says

Justin Welby to Worried Christian Couple: Transgender Children at School 'Not a Problem'

The illegitimacy rate in the West is rising and no attempt is being made to reverse this or even acknowledge that this is a problem.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

No government in the West is in fact supporting marriage because democracy is about pandering to the female voter to win office.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Most female voters in the UK are fornicatresses. This is evidenced at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2285670/Most-children-of-British-mothers-born-out-of-wedlock.html

Feminism operates by bribing men with fornication to distract them from marriage and fatherhood. Many European leaders are childless women.

The gentile would be more useful to Jews if he were not falling into degeneracy and dementia, becoming increasingly angry and blaming Jews.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Sir Paul Coleridge of the @MarriageF is hopeless and no progress is being made at all. He let that lesbian Julie Bindel run rings round him.

Sir Paul Coleridge: how to let a lesbian feminist walk all over you when you are trying to promote marriage

The more incompetent and corrupt their government, the more the gentile will blame Jewish manipulation and Jewish conspiracies.

Antisemitism is on the increase and Rabbi Sacks himself has complained about it. It seems odd that he is now being so curiously complacent.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

The Labour Party will not be able to resist pandering to its Muslim supporters whose numbers exceed Jews who are angry about neocon wars.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Anyone who has taken an interest in Western foreign policy will know that it is overwhelmingly Jews who influence neoconservatism.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

White Man's Burden The war in Iraq was conceived by 25 neoconservative intellectuals, most of them Jewish, who are pushing President Bush to change the course of history. Two of them, journalists William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer, say it's possible. But another journalist, Thomas Friedman (not part of the group), is skeptical

If neoconservatism is just another name for US imperialism and foreign policy, perhaps it can be persuaded to take another direction.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

If neoconservatism is just the polite term for full spectrum global dominance, neocons should not be surprised to encounter resistance.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

I was a little surprised Rabbi Sacks so blandly declared himself to be a neocon and pointedly omitted to mention Islam in his AIE speech.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.” Those truths are anything but self-evident. They would have been unintelligible to Plato, to Aristotle, or to every hierarchical society the world has ever known. They are self-evident only to people, to Jews and Christians, who have internalized the Hebrew Bible. And that is what made G. K. Chesterton call America “a nation with the soul of a church.”

Don't Muslims think that God has given them inalienable legal rights as contained in the Koran?

I was disappointed Rabbi Sacks wouldn't answer my question on whether Israel should be a theocracy and whether this would please God more.

Surely Rabbi Sacks must know that Zionism was a reaction to antisemitism and that antisemitism is endemic to Christianity?

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Surely Rabbi Sacks knows antisemitism also includes Arabs, who are also a Semitic people? The hatred was not merely racial but doctrinal.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Jews and Muslims reject the divinity of Christ, and that was what the Inquisition was about.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Unitarian Christians were routinely persecuted by the Catholic Church and Christians persecuted Quakers for rejecting the Trinity.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Isaac Newton nearly missed getting a job because he refused to say he believed Jesus was also God.

So now you know why the church had to be separated from the state by the Americans. Islam however assumes the logic of theocracy.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

I have been told by Rabbi Ahron Cohen that there are plenty of Jews living in a theocracy perfectly happily with no plans to flee from Iran.

It seems obvious to me that Israel should be a theocracy, but if this were put to the Americans, US support would be immediately withdrawn.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

If Israel became a theocracy, it would probably settle into sharia to disarm its Muslim neighbours. After all, Islam is really Judaism Lite.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

Currently, Israel is no more than an American Protectorate in an increasingly anti-American world as victims of US foreign policy increase.

— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) October 28, 2017

It would certainly take a leap of faith for Israel to go from liberal democracy to theocracy and do without US subsidies. Hope or optimism?
