in short they are taught and then preached - with Kapelusz Damski computers whirring, pressed robes flowing and heads piously bowed - as a way of rescue. How impertinent it is for a Jewish prophet today to disturb this flowering of Christian renewal - after - by announcing that this post-Holocaust embrace of Jewishness is itself deeply culpable.No rescue, no rest - for the wicked? But that is hardly the point of the "no rescue" prophets who are themselves culpable - and know themselves to be. For if anything clouds the picture or.

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 Kapelusz S?omkowy and continuing injustice they and their 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 Kapelusz M?ski have left Israel and, to boot, their Jewishness too, even as both are celebrated.

Obviously, though, one cannot leave one's background. Regardless of their self-understanding, even in their leave-taking, they remain Israeli and Jewish. It is best to see these prophets as Still/Former Jewish/Israelis.These Still/Former Jewish/Israelis are a tough bunch. They refuse the safe confines of a nuclearized Jewish ghetto and choose instead exile among cultures and nations that formerly persecuted Jews and remain profoundly ambivalent about them. Moreover, by leaving Israe Kapelusz Kowbojski l they transgress Jewish and Christian Holocaust.

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 innocence, the Still/Former Jewish/Israelis know the score.

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 Constantinian Judaism, pursue justice fo Kapelusz Rybacki r Palestinians and, in true repentance, be silent about God.

once cannot expect anything more or less from Germany or from the state of Israel for that matter. National leaders and their enablers, from business people to the intellectual and religious elite, make straight the crooked path to national power. Through direct speech or silence on certain issues, they provide rationale, ethical green lights, and narrative structure to what otherwise would be seen as a naked grab for the holy grail of empire. Is that why so man y Jewish philosophers remain enthralled with the anti-Semitic, Nazi, Martin Heidegger.
