Title: emancipation Name: hollingsworth City: State:
"We will live there (in our own land) with the consent of the world at large. Our emancipation will in turn serve to emancipate the world. Our richness will enrich the world, and our greatness will lend itself to the world..." This is a largely unfulfilled prophesy. Though modern Israel has been realized, the notion that it has brought any thing approaching emancipation to the world can not, certainly, be entertained for a moment. Israel has brought slavery to its immediate neighbors, death and destruction to at least one adjoining country, and threatens more of the same to yet another ME nation. Israel, far from "emancipating" anyone, meddles in the domestic and foreign affairs of other countries, for purposes of strengthening its own position worldwide, not in the interests of emancipating them.
