Parashat Naso describes the phenomenon of the Nazirite, and for this reason we also read the haftara this Shabbat whose opening verses tell the story of the most famous Nazirite - Samson - who dedicated his life to fighting Israel's bitter and implacable enemy - the Philistines of Gaza.
Is it simply a coincidence that today Israel finds itself battling the Palestinians, today's Philistines (not genetically, but in enmity towards the Jewish people - the Philistines were ancient people of the sea who came to the Israeli coast in biblical times from what are Greek islands today, while the self-titled Palestinians are Arabs from the Arabian peninsula area who came in the 7th century), in the very same Gaza Strip where Samson fought more than 3000 years ago?
