Neither can Kapelusz Damski it go the route of rescue, theologically, today's Jewish prophets would feel foolish calling on the Holocaust-absent God. If anything is certain it is that the prophet – and the prophetic – is on her own. God is not calling, commanding or accompanying the prophet, at least according to contemporary Jewish prophets.For some, this may seem an oversight, for how does a person sacrifice for justice absent a cause greater than self, one that is rooted in a transcendent reality? Whatever the theoretical constructs.
illuminates it most clearly is that many of these "no rescue" prophets are Jewish Israelis who have left Israel. That is, they have left the Jewish (and Christian) state of Israel "rescue" because of the initial and continuing injustice they and the Kapelusz S³omkowy ir state have done and are doing to the Palestinian people.After their return, these Jewish Israelis have chosen exile, what perhaps is to be the last exile in Jewish history. In their own minds at least, they have left Israel and, to boot, Kapelusz Mêski their Jewishness too, even as both are celebrated.
They know what they have done. They know what Israel has done.These Still/Former Jewish/Israelis have been the Jewish boots on the ground. They have returned to the Promised Land, served in the military, done the dirty work of occupation and expansion and now refuse the rescue of their embracing religious and national ethos. This is because, unlike Jews who long to return to innocence, and their Christian counterparts who use Jews to return to their innoce Kapelusz Kowbojski nce, the Still/Former Jewish/Israelis know the score.
Jewish and Christian Innocence is culpability. That culpabili ty is endless.Is the "no rescue" Jewish prophetic, then, the last word on faith? After all, these Jewish prophets carry forward a tradition that, at least in its origins, is based on God's command. It could be that the contemporary Jewish prophetic has simply internalized God's command in a context where claiming God for prophetic witness seems unjustifiable, childish and, more, triumphalist. Is it then inappropriate for another faith community to speak what the Jewish prophetic cannot.
By interjecting various Christian liberation theologies that affirm critique of Christianity, work diligently for justice and retain a belief in God, can Christians who embrace this form of Christianity speak of their beliefs to today's Jewish prophets? Or should the Christian community, especially the German Christian community who has hid behind Constantinian Judaism as its rescue and its empire enablement, break with Constantinia Kapelusz Rybacki n Judaism, pursue justice for Palestinians and, in true repentance, be silent about God.
at the same time, buries the West's post-Holocaust colonial history.Here is what dissenting Jews and Christians – and people of conscience of all faiths and backgrounds – must understand about the proposed solutions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: there will never be – I repeat, never be – a two-state solution where a real Palestinian state emerges. By a real Palestinian state, I mean a Palestinian state with East Jerum as its capital, all of the West Bank for Palestinians withou  t any Jewish settlers and settlements.
