Ace on The Jews

[C. G. Estabrook]

In fact of course there are orthodox Jews who oppose the state of Israel
on theological grounds -- including a community in Jerusalem.  They hold
that it's impious to jump the eschatological gun, as it were, by founding
a Jewish state in Palestine before Messiah comes.  Given that rabbinic
Judaism is founded in reaction to -- and horror at -- the messianic
Judaism that produced the disastrous wars of the first two centuries C.E.,
they have a good bit of the tradition on their side. --CGE
