“The law is an expression of God 's holy will and as such must be honored and loved," said the preacher piously. "Rubbish," said the Master.

“I've taught the Bible all my life and I believe in the rights of Jews to have a place in the Holy Land, and so I have a natural affinity for that right. I believe that the right of Israel to have a place in the Holy Land can be honored by the two state solution, to abbreviate a long premise, and I think the only way to have peace is by following the basic road I've been following for the last 30 years, to try to bring peace to Israel through negotiation.” ThinkingTryingBelieveLongI BelieveNaturalHolySolutionsJewHonoredNegotiation Author:Reza Aslan
