Be Fair To Your Enemy



I find this a very powerful teaching, even if he doesn't spend a lot of time with it.  The Book of Proverbs teaches, “If your enemy is hungry - give him bread to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.” (25:21).  As he notes at the end, we are not commanded to love our enemies, but we are commanded to be fair to them.

What a powerful teaching this is, in light of the recently ended (?) Gaza War - a battle in which black was white, and up was down.
