Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America. —William Howard Taft
The Palestinian Authority is ruled by Hamas, an organization committed to vehement anti-Semitism, the glorification of terror, and the total destruction of Israel. —Ehud Olmert
We want to live. Our neighbors want us dead. It leaves not much room for compromise. —Prime Minister Golda Meir
I recently met with a gentleman who wanted to speak about Israel and the Jews. He made some statements to me that immediately stirred my ire. I told him I wasn’t interested in discussing what he had to say. A few days later, I received an email from him with links he told me I must read. What he sent, I’ve seen countless times before and it is the same filth perpetrated by those who hate Israel and her people.
It was disappointing that a man of his prestige would fall prey to believing the lies and libel against the Jewish people. The articles he sent me are filled with the same filth I’ve heard time and again from those who blame the Jews for every world catastrophe.
Here is what I wrote back to him…
The Unz website is run by anti-Semites and Max Egan is just another one of them. I would discard anything Egan says regarding the Jewish people or Israel. Their hatred is satanically inspired.
The USS Liberty
The USS Liberty is a good way to use the Jews as the enemy, isn’t it!? One should look closer at who our president was and what he was actually up to with his desire for a regime change in Egypt. There is a far deeper story than what the antisemites spew, but their goal is hatred for the Jews and their God-given state, so they use at their convenience. Look at LBJ. A long time ago, one of the ship’s officers told my grandfather the truth. My grandfather died in 1985; he was Army Cavalry in both WWI and WWII, and in charge of the MPs at Nuremburg.
The USS Liberty is another Jewish libel just as is 9/11, just like the libel that the Jews killed Jesus. (John 10:18) “No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.”
911 and the Twin Towers
There is far more involved in 9/11 and it has nothing to do with the Jewish State of Israel, but dig deep enough and you would see who was behind it. USA’s intel should look in the mirror. Shortly after September 11, 2001, false rumors began to circulate claiming that 4,000 Jews, or 4,000 Israelis, had failed to report for work at the World Trade Center on 9/11, supposedly because they had been warned to stay away by Israeli secret services, Shin Bet, Mossad, etc., which were allegedly responsible for the attack. The claim is totally false.
Jews inside the towers died with others. This was an urban legend that swept the Arab world. Not a single fact in it has ever been substantiated. It appears to be based on concern expressed by the Israeli government for the fate of 4,000 Israeli residents in New York, a small number of whom worked at the World Trade Centre. There were Jewish people in the towers and they perished along with others. The false story was promoted by the mainstream Arab press as well as on neo-Nazi and white supremacist websites based in America. Link
Like the JFK assassination, there are speculations and theories, and the government has never given us the details and probably never will. Did Oswald kill Kennedy? In most people’s minds, it is doubtful. Probably a patsy, but then there’s Ruby and he conveniently died of cancer. Read Dr. Mary’s Monkey by Ed Haslam. In a lab at Tulane University, scientists and physicians were allegedly working on developing an instant cancer killer to rid Cuba of Castro. (Dr. Mary was working in that lab to find a vaccine that would eliminate Simian Virus 40 (SV40) from the human body. SV40 was in the polio vaccines and sugar cubes and causes soft tissue cancers that is genetically passed to offspring. Link Dr. Mary’s murder was never solved.)
The same goes for 9/11; we all know something was rotten. Building 7 alone gives us that, and what was in Bldg. 7? And do we really know all the perps? We might think we do, but what was everything revealed? The same goes for the perpetrators of the Murrah Bldg. and countless other government coverups. We know Mohammed Atta and his fellow terrorists were fully involved, but where was American intel, and why didn’t they notice what was transpiring long before 9/11?
The Ashkenazi Jews
As to the issue of the conspiracy of the Ashkenazi Jews, it is another antisemitic libel that is widely believed, even by some Jewish people. However, if proper research is judiciously executed, the proof is obvious. It is another blasphemous attack against the Jewish people.
Academics and even some Israelis believe that Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of Khazars. It has been totally disproven.
The two largest denominations within Judaism are Sephardim and Ashkenazim. The latter arrived in the Danube Valley and Rhineland area after the Roman exile about 321 AD.
Some call these historical events into question.
A hypothesis dating back to the late 1800s, states that Ashkenazi Jews are all descendants of the Khazars. In 600 AD, in southeast Russia, a multi-ethnic conglomerate of Turkic people founded a powerful state made up of people from many different ethnicities. It was the kingdom of Khazaria. The theory goes that in the 8th century the Khazar ruling class converted en masse to Judaism on the instruction of their ruler. So, according to this line of reasoning, these Jews didn’t migrate from Jerusalem and Babylonia into France and Germany, but migrated from modern Russia and Ukraine.
The lack of proof for this theory hasn’t prevented it from catching on with a number of geneticists, historians, linguists and lay people. It even has support from academics in universities in Tel Aviv and Sheffield, England.
The problem is that the kingdom of Khazaria was destroyed sometime in the late first millennium and the next time we have records of Jews in that area, today’s western Ukraine and Belarus, is over 400 years later. Additionally, DNA tests have shown a close relationship between Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews as well as the connection to other Middle Eastern people, but no connection between the Ashkenazi Jews and Khazars.
The Khazar theory is also dead on-arrival from a linguistic perspective. The main language of the Ashkenazi Jews, Yiddish, shows no trace of Turkic origin. Yiddish is considered a Germanic language with Hebrew and Aramaic words thrown in. As the English linguist and author, Alexander Beider put it, “The personal names and surnames born by Jews in Eastern Europe during the last six centuries, as well as the Yiddish language as a whole, does not contain any link to Khazaria.”
So…who is promoting this theory?
Certain academics for one. Their hypothesis got a big bump in 1976 when a writer and amateur anthropologist named Arthur Koestler, published the now debunked book, “The Thirteenth Tribe”. Koestler thought that by proving Ashkenazi Jews were actually more European than Semitic, he would upend the foundations of European anti-Semitism. Ironically, Koestler’s claims only served to feed anti-Semitism by accidentally resurrecting a theory that would only go on to serve the interests of bigots and the uninformed.
After its publication, supporters expounded upon his claims even further, while detractors called it anti-Semitic. But why would the hypothesis be anti-Semitic instead of just another scholarly theory? It makes more sense when you look at some of the recent supporters of the theory, especially those outside of academia. These include online commentators who use it to delegitimize the Jewish people by classifying them as a “fake nation,” and even political leaders like the Palestinian Authority leader, Mahmoud Abbas. It is just another lie in their quiver of arrows stoking the hatred for Israel and her people.
In a 2018 speech delivered to the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s legislative body, Abbas quoted Koestler and his theory that Ashkenazi Jews are descended from the Khazars, not the Biblical Israelites. The allure of the hypothesis to someone like Abbas is clear. It delegitimizes Jewish claims on the Land of Israel.
If Ashkenazim came from what is now Russia, then their assertions of an ancestral nationhood in the ancient land of Israel are easily dismissed. Too bad for Abbas that the science is not on his side and that the genetic findings of Ashkenazi Jews point to people of Middle Eastern origin, not Turkic or Russian. It is also worth stating that the theory, and the subsequent “not your land” accusations thrown at Jews, completely discounts Sephardi and other Jewish communities, and makes it seem as if Ashkenazim, and Ashkenazim alone, are the only Jews, which is of course, preposterous.
It is not a stretch to say that throughout the centuries, anti-Semitic, xenophobic, and racist tropes have followed a similar path, unfounded ideas that gain a foothold because they serve the interests of anti-religious bigotry, claims of genetic superiority, and political ostracism.
Ashkenazi Jews are definitely Jews, despite any debunked hypothesis that claim otherwise.
Evil Exists
And yes, like every other ethnic background, there are evil Jewish people, just as there are evil Asians, Italians, Irish, Germans, Swedes, Greeks, Brits, Africans, etc. ad nauseam. And no, I’m not fond of Schumer, Nadler, Schiff and the rest of the Stalinist Democrats, but there are plenty of gentile Republicans who are equally as deceptive and evil. Soros takes a leap ahead as he cast himself as a gentile in Nazi Hungary and led the SS to his fellow Jews in hiding.
Evil exists in Israel’s own government, just as it does in the government of America. The Deep State seeks to destroy the freedom inherent in both countries and they’re doing a good job of it.
The article by Guy Milliere, Who Wants to Destroy Israel? You Might Be Surprised, and the video by Caroline Glick, explain the treachery and deception within the Israeli intelligence community resulting in what occurred on October 7th. Despite the female IDF soldiers who monitor the computers for intel, every warning was ignored by IDF hierarchy resulting in the savage and barbaric October 7th attack by Hamas. Caroline’s video is essential in understanding the Israeli Deep State. We have seen the same thing in America time and again.
But…
How is it that Israel has survived throughout history when so many other peoples have perished, despite having larger populations than those of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Because the Lord certainly has His hand on them. The story of Hosea is the story of Israel, God’s wife. Hosea 2:7 tells us, “And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.”
There are 8 covenants in the Bible, five of which are to Israel. The Abrahamic Covenant is unconditional and is not yet completed. It doesn’t matter what happens between now and the millennial kingdom, the Abrahamic Covenant is forever. It starts in Genesis 12:1-3 “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
Throughout history this has been true. Nations who have gone against Israel or her people have been cursed by God. Look at Spain and Germany today. And, we know that all the families of the earth are blessed, not only because of the brilliant inventions they’ve given us, but because our Jewish Messiah is from the Tribe of Judah.
God’s Word states that two-thirds of Israel will perish in the tribulation, but there will be one-third left. Israel will call for Messiah to save them the last three days of the tribulation. (Zechariah 12 and 13) As a nation, they will plead for Him to come. The Jewish Messiah slaughters the armies of the antichrist and saves His people, Israel.
Satan knows the Bible better than most Christians and from the beginning of his fall, he knew that if he could kill the Jews, he could live and rule and reign on earth forever, but we know he will not succeed. From the beginning, he has tried to kill them, and he loves it when people believe the anti-Semitic tripe because they play into his plans.
We are to love our Jewish brethren. The New Testament book of Romans tells us three times in the first two chapters, “To the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” In Romans 9:13 it says, “As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.”
In Isaiah 49:16 the Lord states, “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.”
If the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has Israel carved into the palms of His Hands, those who stand against His people will never receive the blessings promised in Genesis 12:1-3.
