Calling Israel ‘Apartheid’ Is a Blood Libel, Says President Herzog

“The legitimacy of the State of Israel and the justification of its existence is directly related to its ability to protect itself.”

Criticism of Israel long ago crossed the line into antisemitism. And the “apartheid” lie is perhaps the most prominent example of this.

“The comparison between the State of Israel and the apartheid regime is not a legitimate criticism—it is a blood libel,” stressed President Isaac Herzog in a video address to the World Zionist Organization’s annual conference in Tel Aviv.

“It is a dangerous and intensifying terrorism, since the legitimacy of the State of Israel and the justification of its existence is directly related to its ability to protect itself and hence they are trying to undermine this ability,” he added.

The Israeli president concluded by pointing out that anti-Israel movements that promote the apartheid lie are not seeking a peaceful resolution. They are seeking Israel’s demise, the demise of Jewish sovereignty in the Holy Land.

The two thousand years of Jewish hope of return to the Promised Land, and the State of Israel as the miraculous fulfillment of that hope, cannot be ignored when leveling criticism, especially dubious criticism, against the Jewish state. It is not only a political entity that is being targeted, but an entire people. And historically the most persecuted people on earth, at that.

    Unfortunately, Israel is always pilloried, you have to be ashamed of it. But there you can see the hatred and envy of the UNO or the world who have to accept the fact that Israel are and remain God’s chosen people and in the end the Lord himself will fight for his people that we the heathen peoples have to put our hands on our mouths and stand there blushed. Praise be to the God of Israel who comes in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

    Leider ist es so das Israel immer am Pranger gestellt wird man muss sich schämen dafür. Aber da sieht man den Hass und den Neid der UNO oder der Welt die doch die Tatsache akzeptieren müssen das Israel Gottes auserwähltes Volk sind und bleiben und am Ende wird der Herr selbst für sein Volk streiten das wir die Heidenvölker die Hand auf unserem Mund legen müssen und schamrot dastehen. Gelobt sei der Gott Israels und der da kommt im Namen des Herrn Jesus Christus
