I’m sorry, but I’m not certain how this answers the question I asked.

I asked how anti-Semitism proves the truth of the Torah. The verses that you bring mention that we will be afraid, but it does not mention that others will hate us. In fact, you could very easily make the argument that we will be afraid despite there being no cause (such as Jew-hatred).

It should also be pointed out that ethnic hatred is not exclusively against Jews. Ethnic/religious hatred is practically as old as the world itself.

Please formalize this a bit better so that it’s clearer how your proof is laid out.

Lastly, I want to make one thing clear. I know you didn’t intend it this way, but the combination of your title and your response can make it seem like you’re responding to an argument of mine that the Torah is not true. That is not the case. I found your proofs to be flawed, but finding your proof to be flawed is not the same as finding your premise to be flawed. I, personally, believe the Torah is Divine — but I have yet to find a logical proof to that that stands up to serious scrutiny.

For me, anyway, it doesn’t matter. I don’t follow the Torah because it’s “proven” to be true. I follow the Torah because I believe it to be true, without proof. Is that somewhat irrational on my part? Perhaps — but that’s the way it is.
