“Spoken like a true believer. However, the Nazis were (and Hamas is) also true believers. You now have no Tainos against them, as they did what they believe(d) to be “objectively right”.”

No, I have a massive taynah against them; because their base belief is incorrect, everything they do in its name is wrong. And yes, I know they will say the same thing about us. So what it boils down to is who’s beliefs are right and who’s are wrong.

Put it this way: Two people have a first-class ticket on an airplane – for the same seat. The question of who gets the meals, who gets to sit, etc. are all dependent upon who’s ticket is real and who’s isn’t.

And yes, I realize that until Moshiach comes it will be impossible to convince the rest of the world that their base beliefs are wrong, but ani ma’amin bi’emunah shelaimah that this is the case. Therefore, I can and will live my life knowing that I have the real ticket, and therefore everything I do is completely justified.
