Haman - R. Hillel Eisenberg - TorahAnytime.com

Haman wants to eradicate the entire Jewish people. So the Torah says, "There's these people." They're spread out all over the place. They're the same as me. They're They're just different. They're different. Ah, that's why you want to kill every single man, woman, and child cuz we're different? Um, last time I checked, you rule the entire world. What about the Lydians? What about the Indonesians, huh? What about the Africans? They're all different. What about them? What about the Bactrians? Why don't you Why don't you care about them? He didn't care that we were different. He cared that we were special. He cared that we had homes on fire. He cared that we had marriages that had a foundation. He cared that we had mirrors that made his heart melt. That's what he cared about. He didn't care about the Ethiopians. You want to know why? Cuz they were irrelevant. He didn't care about the Africans. You want to know why? Cuz they were irrelevant. He didn't care about the Lydians. You want to know why? Cuz they were irrelevant. He cared about us. He had everything. Haman had everything in his life. And yet he says, "All of that and all of that All of it irrelevant to me. Why? Because the minute I see their Russian and their debates and their chats, it highlights my dysfunctionality. I live such a pathetic lifestyle. I will kill them." This has been the only explanation of anti-Semitism you'll ever hear. We Our homes have bothered every duke, every czar, every emperor, every king because we are living lives the way lives are meant to be lived. And that bothers people.
