I have a dream! I have a dream of 1.25 billion Muslims lifting themselves up, and neither blaming nor hating the 13 million Jewish men, women and children for their ills.

I have a dream! I dream of 1.25 billion Roman Catholics taking responsibility for bringing Jesus to trial and for executing him.

I have a dream!  I dream  of blacks marshalling their spiritual, intellectual and economic might to lift themselves up–and stop demonizing their Jewish neighbors.

I have a dream!  I dream of western intellectual elites applying universal standards, and recognizing that Israel is the sacred and continuous homeland of the Jews, who have lived there for more than 4,000 years before a Muslim existed.

I have a dream! I dream that the western and Muslim nations recognize that attacking a nation (Israel)– and losing — does not, morally or legally, entitle them to have their land returned so that they can attack again!

I have a dream!  I dream that people who left their homes (in Palestine) at the behest of their (Arab) neighbors to make it easier to kill all the Jews, realize they have no “right of return.”

I have a dream! I dream that the United Methodist Church, as well as the Presbyterian Church USA, realize and appreciate that Israel is always ready to trade land for peace–to make their region flower with prosperity, if they could only find neighbors not intent on destroying them.

I have a dream!  I dream that former President Jimmy Carter, such a good Christian that he finds ways to forgive his enemies before he realizes who his friends are, learns history — and recognizes that the Arab nations have refused to help assimilate their brethren in Palestine (but have chosen to find ways to arm them to kill Jews).

I have a dream that the born-again Christians, strong allies of Israel that they are, stop trying to convert us Jews to Christianity.

I have a dream! I dream that the world neither blamed the Jews for being communists and/or capitalists nor for being film and song-writers.

I have a dream! I dream of one set of rules for all–not one set of rules for Christians, Muslims and secularists — and another, separate set of rules for Jews.

I have a dream! I dream of equality of opportunity; I dream of the peaceful but hasty death of blatant bias; I dream that my people, all people, may flourish and be judged by how we live, rather than by those who re-write history so they can villify, stifle and kill us!
