„...although we refrain from dealing with matters of this kind, we saw…”

According to the Jewish faith, not only is there no obligation to be against other believers, to believe in a doctrine of race, or to try to convert and bring other nations over to Judaism—but there is a place for everyone in God's world. When each and every nation knows its place, and in the days when the Temple will be built, 'My house (the Temple) shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.'

God created a whole world, and in it different creatures and different faiths and different religions. Our ability to learn from one another is enormous, and one who tries to see evil in everything that is not himself destroys worlds.

It is true that there are enemies, and against an enemy one must fight. 'Human rights' have often become a refuge for enemies, and of this one must be very wary. But the general view of 'gentiles' as something abominable and evil is defined here by Rav Kook unequivocally as a terrible darkness that causes a general destruction of all good.

Rav Kook and Judaism in general do indeed distinguish between the Jew and the nations of the world. This is about different roles in our world—not about a doctrine of race, and certainly not about a superiority that leads to terrible things. It is a pity that Mr. Kasif, who so devotedly guards the honor and customs of other nations, is not at all familiar with the Torah of his own people and the depths that are found in it—something that leads to the wretched things that were said this evening.
