Guest guest Posted September 21, 2001 Report Share Posted September 21, 2001 Oh, of course. Israel really loves having all its young men killed, all the world against it, and being a tiny country surrounded by enemies, in the only part of the Middle East that doesn't even have any oil. Of course Israel is responsible. I'm sure that our " esteemed " leader, even though he is partly Jewish himself, would rush to agree with you - he rejoices in being " a man without a country " - so it's OK to trash the free world on this list, as far as he is concerned. Please explain to me how Israel ever benefits from war, Caroline. In my experience Israel is always blamed for everything, and her citizens live in terror all the time. fa Re: Operation Infinite Justice > And I wonder what the reactions would be if it turns out that the > Israeli governement/ secret service is behind all this.. they are the > only one who benefit from this all... > > Caroline > > > > > > > > >> I wonder if " INFINITE HUBRIS " appeared on the top ten list? > > >> Probably not....wouldn't be prudent ~ > > > > >LOL!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Caroline, Your lack of understanding of Israel and the Jewish religion is astounding. Could there be some anti-Semitism mixed in with fear in your shortsighted post? You honestly believe the Israeli government or its intelligence services decided to sacrifice 6000 people? To what end? To have more misguided people like you make the same remarks you made? To convince American those that those who have suffered terror win anything by continue it? Is your purpose to galvanize those afraid of terror, that safety lies in not supporting Israel? Your knowledge of history is pretty poor. The US was the first to recognize the new State of Israel. Have you any idea how much money citizens of this country have poured into Israel? Or the amount of military aid, or the sharing of information has been going on? How many Americans live, and visit Israel? How many Jews were killed in our recent horror.? Israel is many things, but it is not stupid enough to attack its best friend or...immoral enough. It is in my opinion shameful to start or continue rumors which only defeat the unity we are trying to achieve in the world. There is no, NO basis for your remarks in past behavior, in friendship, in the character of the millions of Jews you malign, or in logic. The last most particularly. Please do not allow the dreaded fear of terrorism, and prejudiced views cloud your reality,your thinking or your humanity.Does this kind of thought bring more consciousness and peace to this troubled world? Is there anything Jungian about prejudice, fear, maligning, or spreading rumors or fear? Does not individuation point in exactly the opposite direction? Are we not supposed to uplift the consciousness of the world instead of spreading darkness? Free speech is part of our freedom we so cherish. It is part of Israel's also. No one will harm you for your outrageous remarks because we allow anyone to voice an opinion. We even, in this wonderful country, suffer fools with patience. as we must tolerate the intolerant, the ignorant and the prejudiced among us.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Dear Steve, Last question first. I personally am constantly aware of my propensity to inflation, therefore yes, " hubris " is one of my daily measurements. Have I read any Jung at all? Well, I will let my correspondence of the last few years answer that question, as well as the previous discussions on the list. Do people who do not interpret Jung as you see him, not read Jung? What I understand and do not understand is rather hard for an other person to gauge is it not.? My opinion about a spiritual and philosophical movement such as gnosticism is a little too complicated to ascertain from one remark or be answered by disparagement. . Sneer all you like at those who hold different views or warn about hubris in this field. I doubt that will bring this discussion to a worthwhile conclusion.. I personally do not intend to engage you further in this discussion., it is obviously fruitless.
