It is not even a challenge any more to find daily examples of the international community’s hypocrisy when it comes to the Israeli-Arab conflict. Today we hear that Lebanese military forces have razed a Palestinian “refugee camp” in their country and killed an untold number of people. The world’s response? Nada.
Contrast this to the flood of shrill responses from the mainstream press, world leaders and the United Nations every time Israel unintentionally killed a Lebanese civilian during last summer’s war against Hizballah.
Or imagine if the Israeli army was fully besieging a Palestinian “refugee camp” in Gaza or the so-called “West Bank”? Actually, we have an example of precisely what would happen.
During the 2002 Operation Defensive Shield, the IDF launched a major sustained operation in a very small corner of the northern Samaria town of Jenin. A few buildings used by terrorists as cover were razed, and 52 Palestinians, the vast majority of them armed militants, were killed. Israel was accused by the world, repeatedly and without mercy, of committing a massacre.
Apparently, it is only permitted to militarily pound a community harboring terrorist forces if you are not the Jewish state. Anti-Semitism, anyone?
When you look at it, there is no way this can all be attributed to ignorance, forgetfulness or anything else. It requires a conscious decision to hold Israel to a double standard.

The whole world is Jealous of the Jewish People. The Jewish People have been gifted by Almighty God with the most brilliant minds, and generational blessings that go back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Because of who they are and who they came from the world seeks to do anything that they can to discredit them and to cause mental, emotional, physical and financial harm to them.
But alas, I keep remembering that God Almighty says: “I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you.”
So the verdict is in….It is God who will bring His judgment on all who hate the Jewish People, and all who seek to destroy the Nation of Israel…..Any and all who have any part in dividing the Land of Israel and giving it to non-Jews.
“Why do the heathen rage?” They rage because they allow their envy and jealousy of the Jewish People to turn them into persecutors. What they fail to know and understand is that they are bringing a terrible judgment on themselves and their families and their descendants.
Woe unto you who hate Israel and the Jewish People…..You have the Word of God as to what He will do to you because of your evil desires against His Beloved. Your future is assured….It is destruction on you and your descendants….
Is the price you are going to have to pay worth it???? I don’t think so…REPENT NOW! And leave Israel alone….do not try to harm her in Anyway! Begin to Bless Her and it may be that the Most High God will not punish you as severely as He will if you do not repent and change your mind.
This is your “wake up call.” Do not turn a deaf ear….if you do….you will seal your doom.

To Marsha,
I love your comment. It is so true, he will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.
With my whole heart, I pray for the peace of Israel and Jerusalem. May G_d bless Israel and all those who stand strong for Israel and for truth.

Marsha — I have to say that as much as I love Israel and Jewish people your comment is almost racist “The whole world is Jealous of the Jewish People. The Jewish People have been gifted by Almighty God with the most brilliant minds, and generational blessings that go back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” Sooooo does that mean that the rest of us normal folk are worthless? I am not trying to be rude or start a fight but I am curious.

Nathan,
It’s not so much that Jews are generally so successful, etc. It’s more that God’s hand on them as a people, is somewhat undeniable, and it is this evidence of God’s presence that the world hates most, because the world is no friend of God’s.
Marsha’s comment has nothing to do with racism. It has everything to do with being blessed by God. The Jewish people are and we can be too.
