Bamidbar (22:3) Moab was alarmed because that people was so numerous. Moab dreaded the Israelites,
Netziv (Bamidbar 22:3) Moav was scared after seeing the Jewish Gedolim. They were not afraid that they would harm them since that is not what elevated people do. It was the result of observing how superior the Jews were and that they were relatively insignificant. It was this experience of inferiority which cause them to be afraid and thus to disloike the Jews
According to this understanding thr recent project to combat antisemitism by publicing the good deeds of Jews is bound to fail.

ReplyDeleteThomas Sowell says that Jew-hatred is because of success. If Jews want people to stop hating them, they need to fail.
Look, for a few brief moments after the Holocaust, Jew hatred in the West dipped because we were seen as helpless victims with no hope and no future. They liked us like that.
No thank you.
