WORLD - Jews Do Not Belong

Demonization of Israel, Jews, and core Jewish values—including Zionism—continues to spread across nations, international justice venues, university campuses, airports and ports, cultural institutions, and sports arenas. Every insult, every call for a boycott, and every violent act against Jews at prayer is legitimized and amplified across social media.

How bad could it get? Just days before the murderous Yom Kippur attack on a Manchester synagogue, CRIF—the official body of French Jewry—released a poll whose ominous findings reveal a growing black hole of Jew-hatred. Nearly one in three young French citizens (18–24) considers it legitimate to target Jews because of Gaza. Almost one in five French people overall share this view.

Even as Hamas is defeated militarily, other fronts it launched continue the assault against the lone Jewish state and the Jewish people across Western Europe, North America, and Australia.

These are not isolated incidents. They are the result of the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) antisemitic campaign against Israel, which seeks to push the Jewish state and its institutions out of international spaces in culture, sports, academia, and commerce.

No other nation at war for its survival is treated this way. Iran can hang women in public for showing their hair and still send filmmakers to Cannes. China can imprison over a million Muslims and still host the Olympics. Russia can invade Ukraine and retain its cultural footprint in Europe. Yet Israel—the one democracy in the Middle East, home to Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike—is uniquely quarantined from global cultural life.

The message to Jewish communities worldwide is unmistakable: You do not belong.

Commentary: We are now witnessing the horrible unrighteousness and blatant exhibition of Jew-hatred globally.

In our modern world, where information is available from virtually innumerable sources, there is absolutely no denying that antisemitism is on the rise. Why? Actually, no one can explain … particularly considering the tremendous contribution Jews have made to global society.

When it comes to science and technology, the list is unending: From the Polio vaccine, quantum mechanics, invention of WiFi, modern innovations like USB drives, and innumerable other inventions and discoveries—not to mention Jewish influence in the arts, philosophy, law, business, and medicine—no other nation in the world can compare.

Here again, we must mention that there is an unreasonably high percentage of Jewish recipients of the Nobel Prize—at about 20-22% of the overall—yet Jews represent less than 0.2% of the world’s population.

There is more. WorldPopulationReview.com lists the “Five Happiest Countries in the World” as 1) Finland, 2) Denmark, 3) Iceland, 4) Sweden, and 5) Israel. In the midst of war and tribulation from all sides, prophetically, Israel already demonstrates the peace which we may rightly say “passeth all understanding” (Philippians 4:7).

But there is much more to come. The prophet Isaiah declares: “How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem” (Isaiah 52:7-9).
