Hate Begets Hope

Jeffrey Hart, a Dartmouth Professor of English wrote: "I conclude that Israel is literally sacred to much or almost all of Jewish opinion.  And I mean sacred taking the term with full literalness... I understand why Israel in fact has become sacred.  The history of the 20th century is, to put it mildly, unique.  The Holocaust is a sort of hole in the cosmos, a guarantor of the existence of evil.  It is an equivalent for Jew son the Crucifixion.  Israel then became the equivalent of the Redemption."
