Again, why is Michael Lerner justifying terrorism? I refer specifically to the statements in the text:
“But we can’t pretend
not to notice that Moses himself killed an Egyptian
taskmaster who was beating a Jew or that our own people
has resorted to violence when we’ve felt that that was
our only option to achieve our own independence—from
the Maccabees to the Zionists. In fact, the traditional
Seder projects a vision of God as using violence to defeat
the oppressive Egyptian taskmasters.”
