Rush Burns Anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitism in Europe is said to be at 1930's levels. Who is it the American left in this country wants to befriend? The leaders of Europe, where the anti-Semitism is rooted. The anti-Semitism of Europe is rooted in the internationalist community, and the American left can't wait to break bread and make friends with these people. The other element of this, or an other element of this anti-Semitic charge is really... [pause] I almost hate to say this, because some people are going to say I'm trying to diminish the seriousness of the charge. But let's face it, the groups that charge anti-Semitism exist by virtue of fund-raising.

"This is a typical, typical trick that the left plays. I had it played on me for 15 years. They can't deal with the substance of issues that, say, many of us believe in so they have to attack the credibility of the people who are said to be leaders or spokesmen for whatever the issue happens to be.

Psalm 69 A Plea for Rescue

Do not let those who put their hope in You
be disgraced because of me,
Lord GOD of Hosts; do not let those who seek You
be humiliated because of me, God of Israel.

For I have endured insults because of You,
and shame has covered my face.
I have become a stranger to my brothers

and a foreigner to my mother's sons
because zeal for Your house has consumed me,

and the insults of those who insult You
have fallen on me.

Psalm 72
A Prayer for the King

God, give Your justice to the king
and Your righteousness to the king's son.
He will judge Your people with righteousness
and Your afflicted ones with justice.

May the mountains bring prosperity to the people,
and the hills, righteousness.

May he vindicate the afflicted among the people,
help the poor, and crush the oppressor.

May he continue while the sun endures,
and as long as the moon, throughout all generations.
