Rosenzweig held the Jewish people experiences only purely political war, never holy war

Evidence

If it is true that “the Jewish people has left its holy war behind” (331/G368), and Christianity knows war as theologico-political (that is to say, as undecidably political or theological, political and theological), an account of messianic politics would still have to account for the persistence of an act of war that is no act of love, an act of love turned purposive act, an act of political war: “whatever war [the Jewish people] experiences are purely political.” — Gil Anidjar, The Jew, the Arab, 484

Categorization

• DEFINE: The operative distinction holy war vs purely political war is Rosenzweig’s structural template that Anidjar interrogates.
