It’s Happening Again – The New Wave of Anti-Semitic Hatred

With Israel’s incrusion in Gaza, Israel’s delayed reaction to the hundreds of deadly rockets fired at its citizens is showing how the dark forces of anti-semitic hatred are once again festering to the surface worldwide.  In Europe, with Hitler a distant abstract memory, over 60 years of humanistic, leftist pacifism has failed to deal with the supernaturally driven evil that targets one small group of people and their tiny swath of prophetic land.  Beatings, intimidation, fire bombings, and crowds screaming Nazi death slogans (see full list below) are being generally ignored by the “enlightened” media in Europe and elsewhere.  While there are no doubt those who protest Israel’s action peaceably, their ill-guided pacifism and muted contempt,  rings of the do-nothings who sat on the sidelines during attacks on the Jews during the 1930’s

This humanistic education cannot wipe anti-semitism because it is not from a lack of reading philosophy.  Anti-semitism is a blatant demonstration of the spiritual reality that exists despite the materialism of leftist ideology.  The Jews are hated because this world is fallen, both with mankind’s inherent depravity and a very real non-human forces of evil under the command of a powerful multi-dimensional entity called by many human names.

They are hated because the very miraculous survival of the Jewish people through thousands of years of diaspora is evidence of a God – a God who came to this earth 2000 years ago in Christ and will come again to sit on the throne of this world from the land of His birth. God has not forgotten the Jewish people, despite the liberal theology of mainstream “Churchianity” that claims the church has replaced Israel. 

As a Christian, I am shamed that those who call themselves Christians would once again set up a religious system that would tolerate the politics used in this new Nazism. This comes not only from the social left of the church but also the paranoid conspiracies of some who see Jewish plans involved in their imagined scenarios.  Satan loves both sides here, because they all point to the continuation of his extermination of God’s signature upon humanity.

Please realize that I do not blindly support all that Israel does; their secular embrace of humanism has left them blinded.  The discotheques of Tel Aviv imitate the very debased immortality of America and Europe that would usher in a new Auschwitz.
