Hamas’s attack and the left’s support aren’t about Israel; they’re about the Jews

  Andrea Widburg   "Most of the Muslim world has joined hands with most of the leftist world to make a single argument: Israel is a colonialist occupier that must be routed from the Muslim Arabs’ native land. To the extent Hamas launched an incursion into Israel, it was a necessary act to end imperialism. Many of us (me included) fight back with history showing that Jews are the indigenous people and Muslims the colonialists. That’s a pointless argument because the colonialist claim is just a cover: Islam and leftism are grounded in hatred for Jews, which plays out in the pointed savagery of the attack and open calls for Jewish deaths across the West. It’s not about Israel; it’s about the Jews. It’s always been about eradicating Jews.

"Muslims are obligated to obey Mohamed's dictates. One of those, which he came up with after the Jews rejected his attempt to control them, boils down to “Kill the Jews.”

"This is not theory, it’s fact. Last week, the Palestinian Authority (which is supposed to be “moderate” compared to Hamas) had its Ministry of Religious Affairs post guidelines for upcoming sermons. The sermon selected? The one in which Mohamed mandates that all Jews must be slaughtered. The mandate came 2,400 years after Jews became residents of the land, and over 1,300 years before modern Israel’s creation. This is what that preaching sounds like:

God's Promises for the World and for Israel  "When we talk about the promises of God, we have to acknowledge an important fact. Before any of His promises can be applied to the Body of Messiah, God’s promises were first given to His people Israel. And it is impressive how often God stresses the fact that His promises are eternal and last forever. 

"The whole story of salvation centers around the history of Israel, her creation, redemption and restoration. God’s might and power is evident in His everlasting promise to Israel (first laid out in Genesis 12:1-3). There, the Lord promises He will make Abram into a great nation and will bless him. 

"Later on, in Deuteronomy 30:3-5, God promises to Israel a specific land   – you guessed it! From that moment on, we know it as The Promised Land of Israel. The Lord said He would bring his people to the land He chose, and He would make their descendants prosperous." ... 

 2 Timothy 3:15 - 17:  15 "From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.…
