America and the Jewish community lose a great civic figure. Conference of Jewish Affairs expresses its deep sadness on the passing of Sheldon Adelson, a titan in the Jewish community and America at large. Sheldon Adelson was a trailblazer in so many areas of life, be it in business, Annexation of Judea and Samaria is a reality and vision whose time has come.

We at the Conference of Jewish Affairs look forward to the day when Israel will annex the portions of Judea and Samaria that from time immemorial have been part of the Land of ancient Israel. The Jewish people were Black and Muslim leaders must speak out against anti-Semitism in their communities.

Jewish groups need to rise above their leftism and neighborhoods must practice self-protectiion. Look at the French! Were not the ancient pagans who extolled beauty and grace charming? The elites of their day? Rarely is it the face of Genghis Kahn. Pagan secularists did not want to kill their neighbors, rather invite them into their multi-cultural, pantheistic circles.

Retain your God, they proclaimed, so long as your God assumes his pitiful position among the many gods and cultures. Continue your Americanism and Christianity here in America, the multiculturalists assert, so long as it is not dominant, simply a limp ingredient in the overriding multi-cultural edifice. It would be silly in a modern society to frame an argument in language speaking of multi-gods, pantheism. Diversity in different segments of society is enriching.

As in any culture war, it is won by those who define and, therefore, command, the moral language. American liberals did this by employing terminology they knew good-willed people — us — would readily accept: compassion, sensitivity, inclusion, tolerance. Especially tolerance, for who wishes to be called intolerant, the deadliest of the neo-pagan seven sins. Limitless tolerance — a fanatic tolerance — is the very essence of paganism. It accepts everything, including decadence. Every person needs a doctrine or set of guiding principles from which to order his life.

Historically, ours derived from the Old and New Testament. Rejecting the constraints demanded by the Bible, liberals created their own deities, mirroring, almost to a tee, the virtues assigned to respective pagan gods.

They worship these deities with an absolutism surpassing, often, our own to our G-d. Liberals have instituted a new type of Replacement Theology, even corrupting mainline Protestant and Catholic denominations. What one hears from the pulpits today in many Jewish temples is akin to what was heard at the Temple of Zeus.

It is delivered by clergymen who are modern-day versions of the ancient False Prophets. We are to tolerate all lifestyles, except that of the traditional family. Tolerate every culture, except that of the unique American civilization. We must show compassion to criminals while caring not how victims and society live in fear.

We must be sensitive to the needs of those following Haitian witchcraft, Ramadan and Kwanzaa, but do our best to prohibit nativity scenes and crosses. Sensitivity to every group, not however to white, Christian evangelicals — and their wives. We must never be racist, but bigotry is welcome when denigrating Southerners. Equality should mean no double standards, yet certain segments of society are excused for behavior that are not tolerated when done by the mainstream. In the name of anti-racism, we are asked to accept reverse racism.

For example, affirmative action is forced on a society that clearly wishes to reward merit and character rather than color of skin. We must be inclusive, except when it comes to excluding principled practicing Christians of Faith who go before the Senate Judiciary Committee as nominees for Federal judgeships. The A. The truth is the A. The proof? The secular Left is purposely elevating Islam as a means to neutralize Christianity. When one observes the sheer absurdity of how these terms are today — through political correctness — employed and enforced, the phrase that comes to mind is absolutism, extremism.

They are the religious Left. For the two are symbiotic. For the neo-Communists to control all power, they know they must first topple the twin pillars. The Jews and Christians of antiquity knew paganism for what it was and fought it. We, however, have been blindsided, and suckered. We have compartmentalized our lives by retreating into the private all the while allowing the purveyors of secularism to reign over the public. We now find that the public domain controls our private realms.

In our defense, we had assumed that paganism would attack the church frontally. It did not. Instead, it cleverly came through the door of government, courts, schools, our institutions. The media and press facilitated it, collaborated. We expected paganism to ride at us in blatant anti-religious garb.

Instead, it arrived on a Trojan horse, a benighted political horse: liberalism. We had thought that those living within the geographic boundaries called America were brothers, sometimes with slight differing views. Had what is being done to America today from those within its borders been enacted by people outside its shores, we would have recognized it as an invasion with intent to destroy our way of life, and liberties.

We would have raised our swords. It is time we recognize that there are battalions living in America who, as if foreigners, share nothing of our American core beliefs and values.
