The Nations Are Sick with Hatred
Jerusalem is a cup that sends all the nations reeling
Celebrations erupted at the United Nations in New York on Friday when a resolution to condemn the Hamas attack on Israel failed to secure the required two third majority vote.
While 88 nations voted to condemn Hamas, 55 countries voted not to denounce the kidnap, rape and beheading of Jewish civilians.
Twenty three nations preferred to simply look the other way, and abstain from the vote altogether.
When it was announced that the worst terror attack in Israel’s history would not be condemned, there was more than 15 seconds of spontaneous and exuberant applause.
Psalm 84v3 comes to mind …
“Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
The nations are sick with hatred.
October 7 was the largest slaughter of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust.
We woke up on October 8 to find people protesting around the world … against Israel.
Thousands of people took to city centres around the world, not to condemn the terrorists, but to condemn the dead Jews and to call for more to be killed.
A mob in Sydney marched to a memorial for the murdered Israelis and chanted “gas the Jews” as police looked on.
The only person taken away by authorities was a man holding an Israeli flag. He was taken away by police his own safety, of course.
And all of this was before Israel had even responded to the attacks.
Black Lives Matter in Chicago posted memes lionising the terrorists. They published images of terrorists parachuting into a dance party to kill Jewish young people as if the terrorists were heroes to emulate.
If you still believe that Black Lives Matter was about helping persecuted minorities, there is no helping you.
They are a violent, lawless organisation interesting only in power. But we knew that when they looted stores for “reparations” and burned down police stations as a form of “justice”.
In London the Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan made a speech boasting that “diversity is our strength” while, at that very moment, Jewish schools were being closed across the city for fear of anti-semitic attacks.
While some politicians across the world condemned the Hamas attack, many did not. Even in our own country, the Greens who command 10 per cent of the national vote, refused to speak out against Hamas unless Israel was also sanctioned.
The UN Secretary General condemned Hamas while reminding everyone that it was important to remember the slaughter of Jewish civilians did “not happen in a vacuum”.
His suggestion that the beheading of Jewish babies might, in some way, be understandable was obscene.
The Israelis said the United Nations was a “stain on humanity”. They are right, of course, but there is little humanity in the world left to care.
Mainstream media were quick to report untruths about Israel, including that they bombed a hospital, killing 500 Palestinians.
The truth was that Palestinians bombed their own hospital compound in a failed attempt to kill more Jews.
But the clarification came too late.
The media had hung, drawn and quartered Israel on the say-so of the terrorists, and that lie stirred up violent anti-Israel protests around the world.
The media’s modus operandi is plain for all to see …
Blame Israel
Check the facts
Ignore the facts
Repeat
While the media did not hesitate to take the word of terrorists about who bombed the Gaza hospital, they refused to believe eye witness reports that Jewish babies had been beheaded.
An ABC journalist stationed in Israel described the reports as “bullshit”.
It has since been confirmed that the beheadings did in fact take place. But they weren’t even the worst of what was done.
A pregnant woman had her belly cut open so that terrorists could pull out her unborn baby and beheaded it in front of her.
That story did not make the front page of the New York Times, unlike the fake hospital bombing story.
Dozens of student organisations at Harvard University signed a letter holding Israel “entirely responsible” for the massacre of Israelis. These Ivy League students will soon be running the free world, or what is left of it.
In the US, Australia, London and across Europe, people are defacing or destroying pictures of Jews being held hostage by Hamas.
This is, to me, perhaps the most disgraceful of all the disgraceful things that have happened since Hamas’ disgraceful attack on Israel.
I cannot imagine how those families must feel, terrorised twice over. And no end in sight.
We could go on.
But to hear the UN General Assembly break into applause because terror attacks that killed more than 1400 Israelis were not condemned is confirmation indeed - as if more was needed - that the entire world right now is very sick. Sick with hatred.
As the ancient prophet Zechariah said …
“I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling.”
I am appalled by what is happening. The UN has, in my opinion, been an evil organisation for some time. For anyone to try and justify what has been done to the Jewish people this past few weeks is beyond my comprehension. We have disgraceful journalists looking the other way and politicians celebrating murder. We are being ruled by very weak leaders. The further they are from God, the weaker they are.
Come Lord Jesus. What a wicked,evil organisation the UN is. It is way past time we left it. A deep darkness has descended. These fools are reaping a whirlwind.
