How can you speak of Israel without mentioning G-d? How can you think of Israel without thinking of G-d? How can you see an Israel without G-d? How can you possibly think there could be Israel without G-d? How can you say Israel is not a nation of G-d, when Israel Is Ruled by G-d, and G-d Judges Israel with all His Force and Might. For just as G-d Has Molded the fate of Israel, Responding to the foolishness of His people, you can't possibly understand the history of Israel without seeing the "Hand" of G-d. And just as G-d Lives, so does Israel exist; because Israel would not exist without G-d.

Israel is a nation of G-d; that Is What Distinguishes it. G-d Made Israel and G-d Rules His people. G-d Has Defended Israel and G-d Has Kept His people. As long as Israel follows G-d's Laws and accepts the Rule of G-d, the Almighty Is an Ardent Protector of His nation, for the sake of all His Creations. It would be hard to deny this fact.

But even Israel has tried to destroy itself and rebel against G-d. Israel has tried to deny its own existence, but what is Israel in the "Face" of G-d? G-d Has Defended Israel even from itself, and has Protected His people from their own shortsightedness and from the foolishness of their behavior. If Israel were smart it would have long known it is a nation of G-d, and that G-d Rules Israel and Decides its fate. But the children of Israel have deceived themselves, and it is because of this that G-d's people have been disgraced.

I don't understand how Israel could have made such a stupid mistake. There's no way to hide from G-d, nor can you bury His Name. For He Is Beyond our reality, Above all of us, and Within every person. How can you fear your enemies when it Is G-d Who you should fear? And how can you blame anyone else when you are the one that controls yourself?

Israel knows from experience because no nation has made the same mistake as many times as Israel.

If Israel needs a sign that G-d Rules and Defends His people, the Jews need only observe their pitiful story and revel at their True Glory. Those amongst them who think they can outsmart G-d and outdo their ancestors, are deluded by the same misconception that has long been detestable to them. For it is only when Israel has tried to cheat itself and live like slaves, according to the ways of the nations, that its people have brought misery upon themselves. Because Israel cannot live for anyone else but itself, and G-d will not allow His people to redefine themselves and become just another nation like everyone else.

And it is not only Israel that suffers from delusion. The nations are foolish to think they can fool Israel. For what is Israel, but G-d? Since who decides for Israel but the Holy One of Israel, and who leads His people but the One Who Created them, and all of existence? When the nations try to convert Israel, disgrace G-d's people, and banish G-d from their lands, it is themselves that they harm, and a failure is what they become; because the nations are Blessed through Israel, and who would curse those who bring Blessing to the world? Would you curse the One that Makes you great and mock the One that Blesses your name? It is respect and honor that Israel deserves, for when Israel is with G-d, it brings Blessing to the world.

But of course, Israel has not been with G-d and not lived for itself. Should G-d Defend the cause of those who mock Him? For that is what Israel has become, living for the sake of strangers and dying for the cause of traitors. But it is all too easy for Israel to repair itself. It need only follow G-d's Laws and not worry about anything else.
