Palestinian Speak

Israel has announced it will ease its blockade of the Gaza Strip. Both the Palestinian Authority and the Islamist group Hamas dismissed Israel's announcement, calling for a full lifting of restrictions.

God insisted that Jewish People live together with the Palestinian People 3500 years ago; a hundred years ago a famous cabalists made the following observation concerning the basic nature of the Palestinian. The Rebbe was not speaking politically, but intrinsically.

The Rebbe writes, The Palestinians are happy just to hang around and laugh, saying vain and stupid words that have no point other than to openly express their heart; similarly, on the spiritual side the Palestinians can open the essence of their soul and be happy for no reason.

Every people have traits that can be used for good or bad because every trait is double-sided. In the Talmud-Book of Law the Movai HaPalestiat/Open Alley is related to the Palestinian People whose words are always blowing through the streets. The Torah is called Torat Emet/Teaching of Truth. So why would God want these two people living together?

Opening one’s soul and being happy just to do the commandments of God is considered the greatest of joys and the highest of service. Obviously, God wants the spiritual traits of both peoples together–unwarranted happiness combined with the study and fulfillment of the commandments.
