| The story of
Moses and the Magicians |
|
Almost universally, the confrontation
between Moses 
and Pharaoh is branded on human culture and memory. That epic face-off evokes
familiar empathy for things like justice, struggle against apparent odds, and
spectacular escape and triumph. If you're a reader of the Quran, you can't help
but notice how the confrontation is told in several places and that the
treatments offer subtle changes in emphasis and scope. But consistently they
feature two mortals of opposing archetypical mien meeting on ancient soil. One
is a man of tremendous temporal authority, whose conspicuous quality is
apparently incurable hubris, a narcissism that has become part of the national
myth. The other is an Israelite Prophet confessing his fears and shortcomings.
No polity or standing army behind him, he comes with only his brother, a warning
and promise from above, and a special staff that challenges the Pharaonic
serpent cult.
The Moses-Pharaoh narrative is packed with nuance. Take, for example, the sudden
conversion of Pharaoh's Magicians in their contest with Moses .
That stunning public announcement in favor of the God of Moses and Aaron
provokes discussion about modern reactions to spiritual awakening and the
deconstruction of a continuous sacred narrative.

David's Slingshot
|

"All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that
the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into
our hands." - 1 Samuel 17:47
I've heard the Palestinians called "Hitler's last victims." That
starts to get at the history of all this - the seed that sprouts anew every
generation. Israel, born of the Holocaust, brings to the world not some new way
of envisioning a nation, not an experiment in compassion between and among
peoples, but the old cruelty, the old wish to be rid of an inconvenience, to
grind a defenseless "enemy" out of existence.
Maybe the Gaza blockade, which has wreaked economic devastation on the region,
destroyed its infrastructure and kept one and a half million people "food
insecure" for the last year and a half, will now be broken by world
opinion. Let us hope so, for Israel's sake as well as the Palestinians'.

The problem of power
The problem of power is how to achieve its responsible use rather than its irresponsible and indulgent use - of how to get men of power to live for the public rather than off the public.
