But the Hammerman Jew has signed onto the non-Jewish, wholly liberal conceit that it is not what someone believes but the existence of any beliefs that is the threat to world peace in general and the safety of the Jews in particular. Only those who have beliefs, the argument goes, can become so emboldened in those beliefs as to be willing to burn down a mosque or bash a gay or, by extension, start a pogrom or support a holocaust.Mr. Sayet focuses on this priceless quote from Rabbi Joshua Hammerman:
The way to prevent the next holocaust, then, isn’t to stand up for good and rightful values, it is to join with those with no values, allied with them in their war against belief.[1]
If Tebow wins the Super Bowl, against all odds, it will buoy his faithful, and emboldened faithful can do insane things, like burning mosques, bashing gays and indiscriminately banishing immigrants…[2]If that isn't deranged thinking -- from an educated, intelligent man, no less – I don't know what deranged thinking is. As a present-day, absolutely-no-kidding threat to Jews we have:
Hair-trigger Christians on the knife edge of running amuck.
Next stop – Pogrom MCCLXVIIIII.

[1] "The Hammerman Jews." By Evan Sayet, FrontPageMagazine.com, 1/11/12. A witty and insightful article!
[2] Id. Immigrants can only be banished indiscriminately. At least the Rabbi got that right.
