-
- I do not equate the Magen David with a swastika over the peace symbol
- of the Cross, as you suggest. Nor do I equate the Cross with a
- swastika over the peace symbol of the Magen David, the reverse of your
- suggestion. I believe that both Star of David and the Cross are
- symbols of peace. In a world torn by war and strife and bloodshed and
- hatred, we can use such symbols. At each other's throats, we weaken
- the cause of peace in a world that desperately desires and needs
- peace. We're stronger together than apart.
-
- I come in peace. Though our differences be strong, we can at least
- discuss our differences without resorting to pejoratives. In fact, I
- didn't make this posting on Kabbalah to discuss our differences; I
- merely posted it because I thought the interest level in this group
- for such material was sufficient to warrant its presentation.
