A few days ago, I wrote the words “Bye Europe” on Facebook. Two small words that weigh heavily on me. I wrote them completely spontaneously, without planning it beforehand. Perhaps it was due to the constant negative headlines from Europe that have piled up in recent weeks and months.
The growing anti-Israeli sentiment in many European countries, the announcements by several governments to recognize “Palestine,” Spain’s threats to no longer allow Israeli soldiers who served in the Gaza Strip into the country, the economic sanctions from Belgium or the UK. All of this is happening at a time when Israel, after the Hamas bloodbath on October 7, did nothing but defend itself. And yet, Israel is being pilloried.
It is unbelievable how quickly moral judgments are passed in Europe while the reality here is barely understood. What about the hostages still held in the Gaza Strip and deliberately starved by Hamas? How can Israel be accused of genocide while Hamas glorifies terror and celebrates its murderers as heroes? This distortion makes me sick.

Over the years I have read a lot about Israel and the US, we in the US don’t go back as far in history as Europe does, but we have had much to do with being a home for Jewish people escaping from Europe during some of the wars going on over there. I read about a wealthy Jewish man who spent much of his wealth supporting the colonies in their struggle against England in the American revolution. It is sad the left side of politics on the world wide scale is set against Israel and the US as both countries have done much to bring the world so much good. But that has to do with the Judaeo Christian ideology.
It seems the world is taking a plunge back to the middle ages with the ultra wealthy leading in that plunge, getting back to the rich ruling and the rest of the population being servants to the wealthy. A time when there was little to no progress in civilization, there are no plans as to what would happen if that project came into being. But first they have to get rid of the Judaeo Christian ideology, I don’t believe they will be able to do that, it is then that they will find out they aren’t in control.
But they will try anyway, we just have to hang onto our faith in the creator and His word as our guide in the coming struggle of the end times. It is a better lifeline than those opposing us will have.
