PRESERVE THE JEWS TO HELP PRESERVE HUMANITY IN THE TURBULENT TIMES AHEAD

PRESERVE THE JEWS TO HELP PRESERVE HUMANITY IN THE TURBULENT TIMES AHEAD

How much human potential was lost to the world by the mass extermination of Jews in the Holocaust! The brightest race was blighted for good. And yet the Jews have risen like the Phoenix from the ashes of the gas chambers to discover the laws of Nature like none other, continuing to win Nobel Prize after Nobel Prize with a minuscule population winning 25% of this the highest of awards.

They have suffered millenia of persecution at the hands of all barring the Hindus who gave them honourable refuge, a fact attested by the Jewish state post 1948. But persecution of the Jews continues, fuelled by geopolitics to which they have become affiliated circumstantially and by alliance, by dastardly scriptural sanction of their regional adversaries and by the animosity that arises out of inferiority complex and demographic dominance of races that feel threatened by rising Jewish power.

The October 7 massacre of the Jews in their homeland is the latest episode in the long line of historical persecution that the Jewish people have suffered worldwide and its consequences are now being resolved in the war-zone of the Middle East. Whether escalation will lead to a wider regional conflict which may carry the seeds of a potential Third World War with catastrophic consequences or whether untold human suffering will be regionally restricted bearing deep grudges down the decades to come is uncertain but certain it is that the Jews as a race will continue to live a life of perpetual tension, a feature that has now become embedded in their deep system and have galvanised them from helpless sheep to sovereign lions. Not that their valour was ever in doubt but that circumstance has ever played viciously with their fate.

Now that they are free as a nation, Israel must carve out a new path for both its citizens, 'the chosen people of the Jewish God', and for the world at large. Humanity is beset with umpteen problems some of which are existence-threatening to which solutions must be forthwith found. Else, humanity will go down the cosmic drain. Here Jewish ingenuity must find a way out for preservation of the world, its ecology, et al.

The Jewish people have given us the best brains with Einstein, Marx, Freud, Trotsky, Lisa Meitner and a plethora of academicians---economists, scientists, sociologists, linguists, litterateurs and the like---, which flourishing current must be allowed to flow uninterrupted if humanity is to survive the ravages of the times. Hence, rising anti-Semiticism must be combated and the Jews preserved everywhere as the priceless assets of humanity.
