You may remember my telling you about this commentary that appeared last Sunday morning in the local paper, accompanied by a vile cartoon drawing (missing from the online version):

The good folks at American Thinker have posted my response:

"Against Nothingness"

UPDATE: Along these same lines see the video, The True Face of Terror, which has not gotten nearly enough attention. 

IRIS.org, March 18, 2011:

I post this link with great reluctance and I did NOT embed the video on this page because I am morally opposed to people viewing this kind of thing. But 10-20 seconds of this video should be enough to change the worldview of any person with a pulse and a shred of decency. If the idea of a murdered 4-year-old and a murdered baby doesn’t sicken and enrage you or someone you know, maybe you should watch. If you can take it.

Todah rabah, Yael, for a characteristically superb piece of writing. The title -- "Against Nothingness" -- couldn't be more apt. I think I've said this before, but it bears repeating: What confronts us today is a determination -- on the part of Hamas and their kindred Jew-haters -- to undo the Creation and leave in its place only what came before: "tohu vavohu" -- the unformed void, or, to use your word, nothingness. They seek not a physical void but a moral void -- a world empty of anything resembling Jewish life. Their incessant talk about drinking blood -- with its clearly cannibalistic implications -- is proof enough. The idea could not be plainer: destroy Jewish life by drinking Jewish blood and turning it into excreta. No better definition of "nihilism" can be imagined. That young Jews -- smug in their abysmal ignorance of what's really going on -- are buying into this evil is dismaying beyond words.
