Hating, scape-goating the Jewish State is always a hip activity for the world to engage in. Why does the world hate Jewish people? Why is there such animus about the rights of Jewish people to be in the land of Judea; such outrage over their assertion that Jerusalem is their ancestral capitol--and by rights their City in the 21st century?
It is quite simple:
First, our story is a testament about God, who created the universe and everything in it.
First, our story is a testament about God, who created the universe and everything in it.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength." Deuteronomy 6.4,5 NKJV.
Our history declares this about God: we can run but we cannot hide. He pursues us with a redemptive purpose, loves us with an unconditional love, rescues us with an amazing grace.
Second, we are a repudiation to those who choose to be victims. Jewish people endured slavery in Egypt for 400 years; they were crushed by Babylon, Persia and Rome.
We were reviled in the diaspora, enslaved again by the Russians, marginalized and treated with disdain by ALL of Europe, then slaughtered by the Nazis; only to emerge triumphantly to bless the Nations in--Science, Medicine, Literature, Law, the Arts; using Jewish intellect, talent and gifts.
The crown jewel, of course, is the rebirth of ISRAEL. Indeed, NEVER AGAIN.
