no head in sand here. Yet, as a follower of The Way, I recognize He was and operated as a Jew. The very essence of Christianity is based on Him and centered around the only land He called His very own and will return to rule and reign over all the nations.

We are instructed to pray for those who persecute us and to love those who hate us.

Think I'll keep my head and heart firmly rooted in Him, and if I perish, I perish, even as Esther of old.

"Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem" literally translates to asking for His return, when Peace will finally reign on the earth.

Blessings to you and all who are seeking Truth.
