Ishmael, My Brother, My Killer

The Promised Land Beneath Your Feet

For one sees that the wise die, that the foolish and ignorant both perish, leaving their wealth to others. Their grave is their eternal home, the dwelling-place for all generations of those once famous on earth. Man does not abide in honour; he is like the beasts that perish. -Psalm 49 Zionism is the movement to restore the Jewish people to their temporal home. Necro-Zionism is the movement to restore the human race to their eternal home. Our goal is the ingathering of the exiles from Adam on down. We preach katabasis, not aliyah. We build uniting pyres, not dividing walls. Settlers are welcome. Am Sheol Chai!
