    Rabbi Jonathan Sacks [ZTL ZYA] said this in The House of Lords on May 2011 CE:

    “How can we be speaking about peace,
    when Hamas remains committed as a matter-of-principle,
    to the elimination of the State of Israel?

    When it engages in missile attacks against innocent civilians
    and uses its own innocent civilians as Human Shields?

    When it propagates some of the most vicious
    anti-Semitic myths to have ever inflamed the
    hatred and the anesthetized conscience of human beings?

    Peace is more than a resting place on the road to war.
    I cannot make peace with one who denies my right to exist.”

    NOTE: Rabbi Jonathan Sacks was a member of The House of Lords.

    NOTE: Hamas remains committed to killing ALL JEWS,
    both inside and outside the State of Israel.

    Rabbi Jonathan Sacks made this statement 13 years ago,
    but even after all those years,
    his words are still 100% true and 100% relevant.

    Rabbi Jonathan Sacks [ZTL ZYA] said this in his essay titled: “The New Antisemitism“:

    “In the past, Jews were hated because they were rich and because they were poor;
    because they were capitalists (Marx) and because they were communists (Hitler);
    because they kept to themselves and because they infiltrated everywhere;
    because they held tenaciously to a superstitious faith (Voltaire)
    and because they were rootless cosmopolitans who believed nothing (Stalin).

    Antisemitism is not an ideology, a coherent set of beliefs.
    It is, in fact, an endless stream of contradictions.”

    Just because someone is married, that does not prove that he or she is “an expert”.

    There are many people with below-average personalities who got married because they are tall or rich or beautiful; and there are many people with above-average personalities who are not married because they are short or poor or ugly.

    There are many people with below-average intelligence who got married because they are tall or rich or beautiful; and there are many people with above-average intelligence who are not married because they are short or poor or ugly.

    Also, there are many people who are married now, but will be divorced in the future.
    Are people who are married now, but will be divorced in the future “expert”, because they are married now?

    You seem to not understand that if our personal circumstances were just a little different, many people who are married now would not be married, and many people who are not married now would be married now.
