Why hating Israel comes natural to some people

The article argues that antisemitism, unlike other forms of racism, is often tolerated and even justified, citing a significant rise in antisemitic incidents in the U.S. and on university campuses. It traces a long history of persecution against Jewish people, from ancient times through the Crusades, the Black Plague, and the Holocaust, asserting that this persistent hatred is rooted in biblical prophecy. The author contends that Israel's role in bringing God's word and the Messiah to the world has made them a target of satanic opposition, as described in Genesis 3:15, which speaks of enmity between the serpent's seed and the woman's seed. Despite historical persecution and ongoing hostility, the article concludes that Israel's endurance and return to their land in 1948 are divine fulfillments of prophecy, demonstrating God's unwavering protection. "Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep" (Ps. 121:4).
