Muslims of the world are religious. They have mosques. They
have prayer rugs. They have their own Islamic religious sites—Mecca and Medina.
But they aren’t satisfied with Mecca and Medina. They want
more. They want the Jewish Jerusalem.
They want more than that. They want all of Israel.
This is no secret. Muslims who call themselves ‘Palestinians’
don’t let a month go by without declaring Jerusalem to be theirs. Virtually
every day they refer to Jewish Israel as ‘occupied Palestine’.
‘Palestinian’ leaders want to wipe out Israel. The PLO
Charter says this. The Hamas Charter says it. Muslim clerics declare it in
Friday sermons.
This, too, is no secret. The PA prints maps showing its
‘Palestine’ replacing Israel.
‘Palestinian’ leaders want no Jews in their ‘Palestine’. They
want genocide. The Obama administration never condemned this. Obama ignored it. The nations of the world ignored it. Only Israel objected.
In its waning days, the anti-Israel Obama administration
allowed—or perhaps encouraged--an anti-Israel United Nations to pass UN
Resolution 2334. That Resolution made large portions of Israel’s ancestral
homeland forbidden to Jews. Specifically, UN 2334 stated that all settlement in
territories won by Israel in the defensive 1967 war “has no legal validity and
constitutes a flagrant violation under international law” (Glenn Kessler, “Fact-checking
John Kerry’s speech on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict”, washingtonpost,
January 3, 2017). This Resolution instantly transformed all Jewish residents in
these areas into international law-breakers.
I live in the Judean desert. That means I live in Judea-Samaria.
That means I break the law: I’m a criminal.
The land I live in (including Judea-Samaria) was given to my
people by G-d more than 3,300 years ago. At that time, our G-d made two Promises
about this land. First, He Promised to exile us from this land if we sinned. Then,
second, He Promised to return us to this land. This land, He said, is
our gift forever from Him.
Our G-d does as He says. He exiled us in the year 70CE. He
returned us to our land, as Promised, 1,878 years later, in 1948.
The UN rejects this. It rejects our G-d. It has become so
hateful to our G-d that it has begun to carve away from Israel its ancient Jewish
religious sites. The UN grants those Jewish sites to Islam.
That’s what the ‘Palestinian Authority’ (PA)’ has been
working on since 2008, when PA leader Mahmoud Abbas unilaterally declared that
the Jewish Joseph’s Tomb was no longer Jewish, but Islamic (“The destruction of
Joseph’s Tomb”, takeapen, no date). At that time, no one complained.
In 2015, with PA urging, the anti-Israel UNESCO declared
that both Rachel’s Tomb and the Cave of the Patriarchs were no longer Jewish,
but Islamic (“UNESCO Declares Rachel’s Tomb, Cave of Patriarchs Muslim Holy
Sites”, israelbreakingnews, October 22, 2015). In 2016, again at
‘Palestinian’ urging, the UN had the unmitigated gall to declare that Judaism’s
holiest site on earth—the Temple Mount--was no longer Jewish. It was, the UN
said, Islamic.
No one complained. They applauded.
By anti-Semitic diktat, the UN attempts to erase all Jewish
history and Judaic significance from my homeland. Bit-by-bit, the UN reclassifies my Jewish homeland as Islamic.
These Muslim-inspired UN actions are not about statehood. They
have nothing to do with creating a ‘Palestinian’ state “to live side-by-side
with Israel in peace and security”.
These UN actions are about the destruction of Judaism.
They’re about destroying the Jewish community in Israel. They’re about
legalizing an Islamic conquest of Jewish Israel.
I’m the criminal?
This Jewish land of Israel is holy. It’s G-d’s land. Our
Bible—the most-read book in history—is our written public deed to this land. It is immoral and criminal (genocide) for the Man-made UN to attempt to replace my G-d and my people with
an Islamic god and an Islamic people.
The news headlines that report this anti-Jew UN war against both Israel and our Jewish G-d reveal no surprises. More than
2,300 years ago, our Tanach predicted it all. The exact details weren’t there,
but the broad outline was: the nations will one day gather to try to un-nation
Israel. That’s exactly what’s happening today.
This war against Israel is a Biblical war.
It’s about the world’s Biblical ’70 nations’ coming to un-Jewish us (Michael
Snyder, “The 70 Nations That Will Meet In Paris On January 15th Are Going To
Publicly Commit To Dividing The Land Of Israel”, freedomoutpost, January
12, 2017).
The UN empowers those who would destroy Jews, Judaism and
Jewish Israel. The UN legitimizes Israel’s enemies. The nations of the world
applaud.
The nations see Israel as war-prey. They wait for war. They
will blame Israel for it.
As this all unfolds, I stand with the G-d of Israel. Will
you stand with me?
