What Is the Essence of Antisemitism?

٢٨ يونيو ٢٠٢١
The Polish Parliament has passed, through a second reading, a bill that will prevent the families of Polish Holocaust survivors from getting their property back. We all remember that about two years ago, the Polish tried to pass a law that says that anyone who says that they collaborated with the Nazis will be sent to prison. In light of these events, Israeli Minister Merav Cohen said, ""This decision is despicable: have you murdered and also possessed?"" From childhood and also as an adult I lived on the border with Poland. They're anti-Semitic in a very deep and innate way. I don't want to generalize the entire nation, nonetheless, every nation has something in common that pertains to their essence. I think that it's the most anti-Semitic nation. Baal HaSulam writes about it. You can't say why is there a hate against Jews. It is simply the law of nature. Where is it in the essence of Polish people? There is no rationale. If it's the law of nature, then it doesn't matter, rational or irrational. This is how it is. And therefore antisemitism really stands out in the Polish nation. But what is there to hate? Usually where Jews live, they do good things. All in all, about 3 million Jews lived there. I believe that the Jews didn't do anything bad or negative there. They probably promoted the place culturally, scientifically, economically like in any other place where Jews live they tend to develop that place. It doesn't matter, no one looks at that. What is looked upon is that there are Jews here. They're the opposite. And I can't stand them. It's unrelated to their appearance or customs. There were all kinds and types of Jews there - well-educated, secular, scientists - you name it. Nonetheless, they were all hated by the Polish. So what is the basis for hate towards Jews? It is the law of nature. Therefore, there's no point in looking for any kind of justification for hate against Jews. That the Polish hate Jews, more than others, is a natural law but they are all hated. It is because the nation of Israel has a special connection with the Creator. Therefore all nations relate to Israel, accordingly: if you're closer to the Creator, then you're wiser, you're more successful, you're more ancient. So they should love us, why hate us? There's something here that is thousands of years old pursuing the Jews. They had a special connection to the Creator, and now everyone else hates us and wants to erase us and take our place. We're to blame for that too. Because we're not bringing our method, our Torah to all the nations. Like Abraham, our patriarch, wanted to do in ancient Babylon. “And all shall know me from small to great. And my house shall be a house of prayer for all nations. Love another as yourself. Don't do to others what you hate.” All of these are correct foundations of the relations between people. We have received them in order to circulate, to disclose it to all people. But we are not doing it. We, ourselves, cause this gap between us and the nations of the world, which causes them feel hate. Sometimes more, sometimes less. If you look at history, all the ethics and morals that developed in different cultures, they're based on core Jewish values. But we did not advance humanity in the right direction, which is obviously Love another as yourself. This is the great rule of our entire method. Even the strictest Polish Catholics believe in love another as yourself. But how to reach this state? They don't have the forces to do it. Does anyone? Jews do. Only we don't want to use them. Look at the State of Israel. I hope no one hears this, but this is the most disputed and separated place in the world. Because we're not using the forces that we were given in order to reach such a connection that we will truly come to love another as yourself. Is there something that we ourselves don't know about ourselves? Of course. Reach out to people on the street and they would talk about giving to charities. But this is the complete opposite to how it is supposed to be: there has to be a heart-to-heart attitude between people. From heart-to heart. A relation of love. If there will be more love between Jews, will the Polish also change their attitude towards us? For sure. The viruses will leave us. All the problems will leave us. All the people in the world, if we welcome them, will come to serve and help us build and be built. We will all be as brothers. It all depends on the relations between Jews. So this exactly leads me to the next question: if there's no brotherly love between us and any person can give you an entire list of why he doesn’t like other people and where are all other are wrong. From this point of infinite disputes that bring us to endless separation, how do we come to a state of love between Jews? Crumble up this piece of paper so that nothing will be left of it besides a small little ball, and above it start building a place of love. Love is the greatest force in nature, the most comprehensive one. Precisely thanks to love, thanks to the integration of everyone in everyone, this Nature and Life exist.
