The shocking massacre perpetrated against Israel nearly two years ago was, as we all know, quickly followed by worldwide denouncement of their legitimate right to defend themselves against a terrorist ‘state’ on their doorstep.
Lies and propaganda have since been showered on an unsuspecting public like deadly confetti, even accusing the Jews of starving their Gazan neighbours to death.
And now we have the shameful act of a British Prime Minister blackmailing Israel with the promise that he will recognise a Palestinian state if they fail to call a ceasefire. What a nerve! An atheist world leader has the temerity to tell God’s chosen people – under fire from all sides and long threatened with annihilation – to lay down their arms.
As US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee put it, “Giving the Palestinians a state is like handing the Nazis a victory.” And Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu rightly said that it amounts to rewarding terrorism.
Meanwhile media elites, pro-Hamas propagandists, and even the UN are spreading one of the most vicious lies in recent memory: that Israel is deliberately starving the people of Gaza. Whereas in fact hundreds of truckloads of food and medicine are already inside the enclave. But the UN and other international groups are refusing to distribute the aid. Hamas is blocking delivery so it can stay in control.
The fact is that the truth about Israel is buried beneath headlines of hate. Those courageous enough to keep standing with Israel have responded to calls for recognition (of Palestine) with the slogan ‘No state for Jew hate!’ which indeed sums up the conflict. It’s all about Jew hatred; nothing more, nothing less. But politicians and others wrap it up in diplomatic double-speak.
Lies need to be challenged by the truth, darkness by light. Writing some 2,700 years ago, the prophet Isaiah – who went on to accurately predict the coming of the Messiah – warned:
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20)
Yet he too faced the frustration of not being taken seriously. “Who has believed our report?” he bemoaned as he described in perfect detail the terrible sufferings of the coming Saviour, “despised and rejected by mankind…pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities” (see Isaiah 53).
No wonder many Jews see this Bible passage as descriptive of their pain and persecution down the ages, particularly during the Holocaust. And there is no doubt that ongoing pogroms have much to do with the Messiah they gave us, along with the precious Scriptures upon which Western civilization has been built.
How dare our leaders accuse them of doing to others what their enemies are doing to them – i.e. genocide. Choose this day whom you will serve, Moses told the Israelites of old. Yes, it’s time to take sides. Are you with David or Goliath? Would you like to be on the winning side? David was the brave young shepherd boy who, though far from perfect, became a man after God’s own heart. Goliath stands for the intimidating giant of antisemitism which now encircles the globe with its menacing shadow.
Goliath was a Philistine from Gaza! The Philistines themselves have become extinct, but when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and sent Judea’s inhabitants into a long exile, they renamed their country Philistia (from which Palestine was derived) as a parting insult. And when the international community agreed the boundaries of a new Jewish state (at San Remo in 1920), it included all the territory from the Mediterranean Sea to the River Jordan.
But the woke world has turned that upside down with their “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” mantra which amounts to no less than a genocidal chant if ever there was one.
Yet true freedom will come to God’s chosen ones, and the Gentiles who support them.
“For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.” (Isaiah 49:12)
As a nation, you were bereaved and barren. But the Lord has not forgotten you, O little Israel.
“See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are ever before me.” (Isaiah 49:16)

Excellent!
Spot on!
If we disregard the Mohammedan madmen, I think Western atheism is a major cause for Jew hatred.
Particularly the newer generations do not understand Scripture. The Tanakh and also the NT (despite its corruptions) spells out clearly what will happen to those who go against the Jewish people and the State of Israel. In other words, the anti-Israel experts in the UN, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the Western academia are at best wholly degenerate imbeciles who should be kept in a closed ward.
Have these idiots never opened a Bible which tells them dozens and dozens of times that God will bring His Chosen People back into their ancestral homeland? Is Macron dyslexic or dumb or both?
No, he isn’t. He is simply degenerate (but that’s normal today, if not advantageous).
My above comment is maybe a bit over the top (in terms of my vocabulary; I apologise).
While difficult to understand or admit in view of Jewry’s suffering, in the grand scheme of things, one must realise that the worldwide, rampant increase of anti-Semitism is permitted by God: The “lion on a leash” is given more line and leverage by God, to wit, the blindness and Jew-hatred is caused by the Adversary, which is why it cannot be explained rationally.
All of this is indeed a mere prelude to Israel’s wholesale restoration and salvation, an outcome that will be paralleled by heathendom’s large-scale destruction. Yeshu’s parables such as Lazarus & Nineveh (yes, that was his name) or the Persistent Widow are all about that final outcome when the tables will be turned (to the surprise of many), – God’s ultimate vengeance on the enemies of His Chosen people.
In my opinion that scenario is imminent.
I probably should read Charles Gardner’s books, but I am working flat out on a reconstruction of the “Gospel of the Twelve”, labelled by Gentiles as the “Gospel According to the Hebrews” (aka Matthei authenticum).
