It seems that the memory of October 7 is fading for some in the so-called international community.
You remember October 7, right? When 1,400 Israelis, the vast majority of them civilians, were massacred in cold blood. We’re learning more about it now as videos of Israel’s interrogations of Hamas terrorists are on record, sharing exactly what they did and what they were told to do by their Hamas masters—gruesome, demonic, wicked acts.
In a few days, the world is going to return to its default position of knee-jerk, anti-Israel bile.
They will basically tell Israel, “It’s a shame what happened, but you had it coming for all that you’ve supposedly done to the Palestinians over the years, and you must have a proportionate response. You cannot act with severity against the Hamas jihadists living in Gaza. Civilians might get killed. There needs to be an immediate ceasefire and an international peacekeeping force, perhaps.” That would be the grand plan of the likes of the UN.
If you have any doubt about what I’m saying, former US President Barack Obama released a statement yesterday that was highly critical of Israel, warning Israel to follow the international rules of war.
This is something that Israel knows, does very well, and doesn’t need Barack Obama lecturing and intoning to them. Nonetheless, he couldn’t resist weighing in and taking some potshots at Israel.
UN Secretary-General Draws Moral Equivalency Between Israel And Hamas
In addition, today, we had an absolute moral disgrace at the United Nations.
The Secretary General of the UN, António Guterres, stated, “October 7 did not happen in a vacuum. Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.”
Wait, I thought it was 75 years, in their view? Does he mean since 1967, Israel’s miraculous victory in the Six-Day War, where they reunited Jerusalem and, once again, exercised control over Judea and Samaria, the biblical heartland?
Folks read between the lines. This is the Secretary General of the UN, basically saying that Israel had it coming. They provoked this. It’s Israel’s fault. This didn’t happen in a vacuum. This happened not because Hamas is a vicious, genocidal jihadist organization devoted to Israel’s destruction. It happened because the Palestinian people have been supposedly subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.
Did he forget that there is not one Israeli living in Gaza right now? Oh, there are Israeli hostages. There are over 200 still in the bowels of hell within some tunnels beneath Gaza in Hamas captivity.
They have very short memories at the UN, apparently. In 2005, every last Israeli “disengaged,” as they called it, and withdrew from Gaza. Beautiful Israeli communities in Gaza were uprooted, and every last Israeli left. There is no occupation of Gaza.
There is also no entity, no nation, or state known as Palestine. There is Gaza, and there is the West Bank, which we call Judea and Samaria because that’s what the Bible calls it. What occupation?
When we’re talking about Judea and Samaria, we are talking about Israelis living in the land where their forefathers and mothers lived 3000 years ago. Call me crazy, I think Jews should be able to live wherever they want to live. But that’s not the view of our enlightened overlords here in the West and at the UN. The double standards continue.
The UN Secretary-General drew a moral equivalency between Israel and Hamas, blatantly and disgracefully.
Thankfully, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, had a very strong response, calling on Gutierrez to resign. And, rightly so.
Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen also spoke today before the UN Security Council, saying, “Mr. Secretary-General, in what world do you live?” Has Guterres already forgotten that 1,400 Israelis were just slaughtered in cold blood in the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust?
The World’s Obsession With Israel
The world is obsessed with Israel. Do you doubt it? Israel was attacked, and yet the world obsessively, after a short grace period, started to bombard Israel with pressure and watch their every move.
Blinken suggested humanitarian pauses in the war. Whoever heard of such a thing in warfare? Has any other nation been asked to do that? Would the US do that? Would Russia or China? I think not.
Israel is a sovereign nation being lectured to by the world. Why? It’s clearly a spiritual issue.
The book of Zechariah 12:1-3 talks about this, and the Bible is very clear that the days are coming when the world will be absolutely obsessed with Israel and, in particular, Jerusalem.
Israel is not only the center of the world geographically; it’s at the center of God’s prophetic plan. The devil—yes, he exists—hates what God loves. God holds the title deed to that land. God says that Israel is the apple of His eye, and the people of Israel have returned, never to be uprooted again.
Whoever heard of such a thing as Israel’s rebirth in 1948? A people, mostly dispersed for 2,000 years to the ends of the earth, come back against all odds out of the ashes of the Holocaust to reestablish a thriving and successful nation? Do you think God has nothing to do with this?
Ultimately, we can talk about secular reasoning all day, but you can’t separate this from God. Israel is not like other nations, and that’s why the world is obsessed with it.
As the world is crashing down, we know God Almighty still sits on the throne. These are prophetic times, no doubt, and the prophetic chess pieces are moving on the board.
