(Regina, Canada) โ In Canada and around the world, the lies promoted at Palestinian protests continue to go unchecked. Our weak leaders would rather turn a blind eye than call out and confront this evil for what it is. As a result, this hateful movement continues to grow in its popularity.
Khalid Abdalla, a British-Egyptian actor and activist, recently spoke before a crowd at a music festival in London, declaring, “The Palestine Solidarity Movement is the civil rights movement of our time. It is the anti-apartheid movement of our time. It is the anti-genocide movement of our time.”
Again, we hear the usual deceitful buzzwords, accusing Israel of “apartheid” and “genocide.” In response, the crowd enthusiastically chanted, “Free, Free Palestine.”
‘Apartheid’
Let’s talk about apartheid for a moment. These individuals are comparing Israel to what took place in South Africaโthe segregation of black and white individuals, denying rights to one ethnic group, including voting, land ownership, and equal access to education, jobs, and public spaces. Can Israel accurately be accused of such action? No! In fact, the exact opposite is true in the Jewish State. Arabs can vote, run for office, go to school, and use public services like everyone else. Israel even allows Arab non-zionist parties in their parliament and has given the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria (what the world likes to call the West Bank) the right to rule over themselves, as they did in Gaza in 2005.
In 2005, the Jewish State agreed to take every Jewish person out of Gaza and hand over the entire strip, which resulted in over 40,000 rockets raining down on Israel in the last 20 years and the demonic, horrific atrocities of the October 7th massacre in 2023.
Israel has given the Palestinians the right to rule over themselves in many areas. Even the Arab Druze community fights for Israel in the IDF. Why? Because they are Israeli citizens enjoying the benefits, freedoms, and values that all Israelis do.
Enough of these “apartheid” lies!
‘Genocide’
What about genocide against the Palestinians? Well, first of all, the population of the Palestinians has grown over fivefold since 1948, with approximately 2.2 million Palestinians living in Israel, 3.3 million in Judea and Samaria, and 2.2 million living in the Gaza Stripโtotaling around 7.5 million Palestinians. That doesn’t sound like a genocide to me.
There is no question that the war in Gaza is horrible, as all wars are. But it was Hamas who started this war. Let’s not forget about the demonic atrocities of October 7th, 2023, committed by this evil (duly elected) death cult. According to the most recent polling, the majority in Gaza still support what Hamas did.
Furthermore, it is Hamas, not Israel, that has squandered billions of dollars in international aid. Rather than using those resources to build a better future for the people of Gaza, they chose to turn the region into one of the world’s largest terrorist battlegroundsโwith the singular goal to destroy Israel. Hamas not only diverts humanitarian aid for militant purposes, but they also cynically use civilians as human shields, sacrificing their own people while exploiting their suffering.
If blame is to be assigned, it must lie with Hamas.
Israel, by contrast, has taken extraordinary measures to limit civilian casualties. Their reported combatant-to-civilian death ratio is approximately 1:1, which is virtually unprecedented in modern warfare. It is a testament to the efforts made by Israel to minimize harm while facing a brutal and entrenched enemy vowing to destroy them. Don’t blame Israel. Blame Hamas, which prioritizes destruction and martyrdom over peace.
Hamas wants genocideโthe eradiation of Jews from the land. Their supporters chant, “From The River To The Sea, Palestine Will Be Free.” That slogan means no Jewish people and no Israel from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. That is genocide. That is what they would do if they had the power.
These mantras are being heard in my country, Canada. Why are we allowing these disgusting protests to continue? What is the matter with our leaders? Shut these down! Over 1,500 of these protests have taken place in Toronto alone since October 7th, 2023. Get your head around that shameful figure!
The lies told here are also being told around the world. In Killarney, County Kerry, Ireland, a so-called “heart-touching” video surfaced, once again making Israel out to be the villain.
“In the last year, Israel has killed 17,000+ children in Gaza,” a line of protesters claimed on their signs, citing the statistics publicized by the terrorist organization Hamas. “There are 17,000+ 0-9 year olds in Kerry. Imagine this county with no 0-9 year olds. Speak up!!! Stop the genocide. One Palestinian child is killed by Israel every 30 minutes. Free Palestine.”
The voice of a child can be heard in the clip reciting an anti-Israel propaganda poem: “All your armies, all your fighters, all your tanks, and all your soldiers against the boy holding a stone, standing there all alone. In his eyes, I see the sun. In his smile, I see the moon.”
That is not heartwarming; it is, to say the least, disgusting.
Will There Ever Be An End To The Lies?
What does the God of this universe have to say about all of this? Will there ever be an end to the lies told against Israel and the Jewish people? Yes, there will.
I long for that time when Israel’s Messiah, Yeshua, returns and destroys Israel’s enemies. You can read about that in Joel 3, Zechariah 14, Isaiah 63, Matthew 25, Revelation 19, and so forth. When Israel’s Messiah returns, He is going to fix the mess that this world has become as a result of sinful man. When that happens, there is going to be a preeminent shift from the Gentiles to Israel and the Jewish people. No longer will they be a doormat for the Gentiles to walk all over.
Isaiah 60:12-14 is a passage speaking of the Jewish people, which reads: “For the nation and kingdom which will not serve you shall perish, Andย thoseย nations shall be utterly ruined. ‘The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary; And I will make the place of My feet glorious. Also the sons of those who afflicted you Shall come bowing to you, And all those who despised you shall fall prostrate at the soles of your feet; And they shall call you The City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.”
This is what Israel is going to look like in the millennial kingdom and how the Jewish people are going to be treated.
Zechariah 8:20-23 states: “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Peoples shall yet come, Inhabitants of many cities; The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, ‘Let us continue to go and pray before the Lord, And seek the Lord of hosts. I myself will go also.’ Yes, many peoples and strong nations Shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, And to pray before the Lord.’ ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'”
Those are the days that I long for, and it’s going to come to pass exactly as God has said in His Word.
Woe to the nations, but praise God for His prophetic plan for His chosen people, and for the land that He has placed His name forever. Righteousness is coming one dayโand one day soon!
