Alarmingly, it has been impossible to miss the recent rise of blatant Jew-hatred around the world. Jew-hatred, which is widely known as antisemitism, is not a thing of the past. Far from it.
Sadly, this ancient hatred is alive and prevalent today.
Our hearts break as we see this despicable hatred raising its ugly head in cities worldwide. We have seen people everywhere chanting hateful slogans, like “we don’t want no Jewish state” and even “Gas the Jews.” Jewish students have been verbally and physically assaulted on college campuses. Many of them even fear for their lives. Hateful symbols, like swastikas and flags of terrorist organizations, have been proudly displayed at anti-Israel rallies. We have even seen businesses with signs saying “Jews not allowed.”
As we see this happening, we can be assured that this is not a political problem, but a spiritual one. This hatefulness is not merely an attack on people, it is an attack on God.
In Zechariah 2:8, God says of Israel and the Jewish people: “…he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.”
