Islam, American and western socialism can not abide a religion that will not bend the knee and be subjugated. Islam has already weakened much of Christianity to the point where there are few nations that still profess to be Christian nations. .America succumbed in the last century. Historically Islam is propagated by the sword and or persecution. It was a mistake to let Muslims migrate to the USA. Islam is more than a religion as it is also a political movement and as such can not be assimilated. It can not be undone now. American Muslims have brought all of their middle eastern hatreds with them and have received little push back. On the other hand I have never understand how American Jews have always voted for Democrats, their habitual enemies?

We have allowed colleges and universities to be staffed by people who hate America and will use whatever means necessary to achieve their goal. My suggestion would be that if you hate this country GET OUT!!!

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”   Genesis 3:15

From the time of man’s fall in the Garden of Eden and God’s declaration to Satan, Satan was waiting for that Messiah to be born of a virgin in the city of Bethlehem, with a very specific bloodline going back to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—a Jewish bloodline. 

God chose that bloodline through which the Messiah would come to save the world and shatter Satan’s authority forever. Because of this, Satan has always borne a special enmity for the Jews throughout the world’s history.

“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.”                                                                        Deuteronomy 6:7

For as long as the Jewish people have existed, antisemitism, often labeled the world’s “oldest hatred”, has marked their history. Satan will always have a special hatred for the Jews that is greater than his hatred for all other people, and that hatred will continue to express itself all the way into the Tribulation period as we see in the Book of Revelation. And anywhere you see anti-Semitism in the world, whether you see it in a nation, whether you see it in a city, whether you see it in a religion, whether you see it in an individual heart, or whether we see it in our own hearts, you are witnessing something that is demonic.

It seems the world hates Jews because the world hates God, and will do anything, including the countless annihilation attempts, to eliminate Jews and their message from God. Yet God has a plan and promise for His treasured people.

God has provided the world with two incalculable gifts through the Jews. First, the Word of God, the Bible. Second, he has provided the world with our Savior, our Messiah. What the world and Christians owe to God’s use of the Jews is immeasurable.

As we once again celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, I wanted to share an excerpt from my daily devotional, “We the People – Daily Devotional for Loving God and Country.”

“But Mary treasured up all these words, pondering in her heart what they might mean.”                                                                                                                    Luke 2:19

Christmas calls us to ponder in sacred silence that God’s love was born in a barn to a poor teenage peasant girl. Jesus is God’s Christmas gift of love—which none of us deserve. Despite the possibility of rejection by Joseph, and her own family and community, Mary surrendered herself—first to the Lord—and then to His plan. There’s no “Why me?” or “This is not what I planned!” from Mary. Instead, she just rejoiced!   So now what?   Following nine months of pregnancy, and an arduous seventy-five mile trip from Nazareth to Bethlehem, she found herself having given birth to the Son of God in a cold, dark, damp, and smelly manger. 

Soon after, an unlikely group visited Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus—the shepherds who responded to the Lord’s invitation to find the Christ child. Imagine some of the things Mary was now pondering as she cradled her child; not only what had led up to this moment, but what the future held. Of all the women of Israel she was the mother of the Messiah. All the while, Mary kept her focus on what God was doing and kept her heart open for the next step of obedience. As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, it would please God if we pondered—for just a moment—the story of His life in the flesh. The truths of Christ are worth keeping; and the way to keep them top of mind, and always in our heart, is to ponder them; to meditate on them; and to treasure them.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

As an America First conservative in Florida whose father survived the Holocaust, my biggest concern about antisemitism today is its rapid spread on college campuses and within far-left circles—often masked as “anti-Zionism”—as well as from radical Islamist influences that sometimes intersect with those protests through groups like Students for Justice in Palestine.
Jewish students face harassment, exclusion, and threats, while hate crimes spike nationwide. This division weakens America, worsened by foreign influence and weak condemnation from leaders on both sides.
We need strong, unapologetic action—like Florida’s under DeSantis—to stop it before history repeats itself.

The trojan horse is alive and well here in the United States, just look at Dearborn Michigan and other cities where the Muslim communities have taken over. They hate anything other than their own beliefs and that hate is spreading throughout this country. It is being spread through out colleges and public schools and through far left political rhetoric.

It’s simply Biblical. We are taught in the Bible that Israel is and will be despised on a global basis. Too many people will not accept the Biblical fact — Israel is GOD’S chosen; this hatred comes from satanic influences. I’m not a religious fanatic, I simply believe what the Bible teaches. I and all believers will be safe, regardless of what happens, and Israel will be delivered from the oppression.

I stopped using Facebook after seeing a post in my feed from, not an individual ,but a group ( can’t recall the name) that said F_ _ _ Israel. When I reported it to Facebook, they said it didn’t violate their community standards. We need to divorce from any platform that supports hate of any sort. Give up your addiction for a good cause.

Why have the Jewish people been persecuted for so long? It is a question that has bothered me for a long time. Whatever are the causes today aren’t new and have been occurring for many generations now all over the world.

There was:
* Early Islam (7th century CE) – Under Islamic rule, Jews (and Christians) were classified as dhimmis
* Babylonian Exile (6th century BCE) – Jerusalem was conquered; the First Temple was destroyed; many Jews were forcibly exiled to Babylon.
* Seleucid Persecution (2nd century BCE) – Jewish religious practices were banned; attempts were made to forcibly assimilate Jews into Greek culture.
* Roman Rule & the Time of Jesus (1st century CE) – Over time, some Christian teachings shifted responsibility for Jesus’s death onto “the Jews” collectively. This belief became a core justification for centuries of Christian antisemitism, despite being historically inaccurate.
* Early Christian Empire (4th–7th centuries) – Jews barred from certain jobs, synagogues destroyed or restricted, forced conversions in some areas
* Medieval Islamic World (c. 800–1400) – Jews were expected to know their place socially, tolerance depended heavily on the ruler
* Medieval Europe (c. 1000–1500) – Crusaders moving through Europe attacked and destroyed Jewish communities, especially in Germany and France.
* Black Death (1348–1351) – Jews were blamed for causing the plague, thousands were killed or expelled across Europe.
* England (1290): Jews expelled by King Edward I
* Spain (1492): Jews expelled unless they converted
* Portugal (1497): Forced conversions
* France: Multiple expulsions and readmissions
* Eastern Europe & Russia (18th–early 20th centuries) – Russian Empire, Ukraine, Poland – Violent attacks on Jewish communities by mobs, sometimes with government approval. These events pushed many Jews to emigrate, especially to the United States.
* The big shift: 19th–20th centuries – This is where modern Middle Eastern antisemitism really forms. Some say this was brought from European-style antisemitism.
* Zionism and the creation of Israel (late 1800s–1948) – The creation of Israel was seen by many in the region as a colonial imposition. About 850,000 Jews left or were pushed out of Arab and Muslim countries between 1948–1970.
* Nazi Germany (1933–1945) – Systematic state-sponsored persecution and genocide. This was not an isolated eruption—it built on centuries of existing myths.
* After World War II to Today (briefly)

It’s not just today. Knowing all this still doesn’t explain it to me, I find it utterly baffling. There must be a reason, but I think that reason is long lost on all of us, now it is just emotional, reactionary behavior by the morally and ethically weak among us. Personally, I do not care to participate in mankind’s madnesses, if I can help it.

Our campuses have been developed into breeding grounds and a tool for propaganda of hatred and ideological poison while we slept. There are more and more media reports attempting to normalize and create sympathy for the radial Islam religion. This did not happen over night but has been a slow push by radicals who know that the only way to take down the united states form of government is to infiltrate and use propaganda on the young generation. View history of Chinese communist takeover and Hitler infiltration of German society. Classic example of where we are being steered now. The claims of America being a hateful country by those who really hate and the slow indoctrination of a generation.

I am somewhat confused, overwhelmed, ETC. “The Rise In Antisemitism” ? ! ? ! That question leads one to believe that the history of antisemitism is / was OKAY !
MUSLIMS ! Shaira Law, Honor Killing ! Where is the line that defines A Muslim that can fit into any culture / society and one that believes / lives by Radical Muslimism ?

Years ago I vacationed with an Israeli Family, I was told that “Yassa Arafat” would tell the World that All “THEY” wanted was peace. Then he would speak to his people, in their language and state, “WE WILL DRIVE THE JEWS INTO THE SEA” ! ! !
“What would happen if the “Gazans” stopped fighting, There Would Be No More War ! What would happen if the Israelis stopped fighting, THERE WOULD BE NO MORE ISRAEL !”
What is the difference between a devout Muslim & a sleeper cell / Radical Muslim, TIMING.
Didn’t “WE” have a Civil War in this country? Rising up because of a dramatic difference in beliefs ? If the “Gazans” don’t want radical Muslims to rule their country, maybe “They” should take their country back ! ? ! ?

If “You” think the above is Extremely Radical, maybe your opinions / decisions shouldn’t be based on what “mainstream media” feeds you.

Overall people have lost their respect for life and for anyone different then themselves. Society has become bitter and resentful of others because they lack morals and ethics. Many adults and young people only focus on themselves and zero compassion for others.
Jewish people and others become the ones to blame for shortcomings and failures in their own lives. They find it easier to blame someone else rather than taking responsibility and working hard to improve yourself.
If you don’t respect and protect life , nothing else matters to you.

My father quit high school when he was 17, joined the Navy and served in the Pacific during WW2. He was a steelworker and although uneducated he was wise and observant beyond belief. In the mid 70’s before he retired, he made some observations about our country. He commented to me that the Muslims who had obtained work in his plant (Fairless Works, no longer there) would tell him they were going to take over our country, a little piece at a time. I laughed at him, thought he crazy. He told me they explained how the political process would take place, a mayor here, a mayor there, school boards, local politics, congress and so on and so forth. He has been dead for 25 years, I miss him every day of my life, but I always remembered his warnings, that they would change our country and our way of life would be pushed aside. As I approach the end of my life, I know he was right and hope we can stop this assault on our values and our way of life. Did you ever notice how the left always refers to us as uneducated. People like my uneducated father made this country great. The current antisemitism is all part of their plan. Jim

You have not included the fact that there is a spiritual war that has been going on since before the fall of the human race. Israel has been God’s chosen nation since He called Abraham out of Mesopotamia, and as such has been the object of the hatred of the enemies of God ever since. Anti-Semitism such as we are experiencing now is a spiritual delusion that is irrational and evil and comes upon those who are in rebellion against God from the realm of the spiritual.

Antisemitism is being driven by the influx of the anti American cultures that we have allowed to enter our country and have not required assimilation. These cultures are bringing their own way of life, taking over and creating communities of hate for all Americans. They don’t work, but instead feed off the backs of Americans and laugh in our faces. Antisemitism is a convenient “mask” for Anti Americanism. The liberal woke twisted minds that teach in our institutions have helped promote anti Americanism and that is why we are where we are today. I applaud and support ICE and DHS. We need to work harder at shutting down the indoctrination in our schools at all levels.

Satan is using a last ditch effort to gather up as many lost souls as he can, because his time of ruling is coming to an end. The demonic forces on earth are whipping up a hatred towards Jews and Christians that has not been seen throughout the world. Persecuted Christians are being targeted at an astounding rate. More Christians have been martyred in the last century than all other times before. Please pray for them to continue to be bold in their faith.

“Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

We should never have let Muslim people into our country, because they do not assimilate. You should become another nationality/American, example Irish, Italian, German,/American, etc. They are taught from childhood that there is only one religion
( Muslim) all others should be eliminated. They chant “death to America” all the time.

This all got its roots in the Obama administration in my opinion. First by pitting blacks against whites – rich against poor – Muslims against Jews and Christians. Management (big business) against the “workers”.Republicans against Democrats (with the name calling getting ridiculous ! All of this guided and learned via the book of Marx and carried over in our halls of lower to higher academia institution (Critical race theory). No longer is this country’s children being taught any history other than trying to change or cover it up. I am a proud Veteran and served my country with honor but often question why my Brothers died for what I am seeing happening today in my own country. If you don’t know where you have been then how do you know where you are going? A young man at the bank who waited on me didn’t even know about Beirut Lebanon or what had happened there.A country without its bearings combined with a lack of morals is bound to fail. I include in my nightly prayers that The Lord above helps to straighten our course and not allow so many great men and women die in vain.
God’s continuous blessings on this country is needed now more than I can ever remember.

We have forgotten the God who created us. Judges 2:10, “And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel.”
We and many of the generation before us have neglected to teach the Bible, God’s ways, and the love of worshipping Him to our children. But satan always manipulates and grows a hatred of God’s chosen people where God’s children fail to work. (It’s in God’s history book.)
There is hope if we will once again return to Him and pray for revival and once again teach God’s ways to our children and grandchildren.

Dancing around the truth but not actually addressing it. This is a battle that has been raging since Adam. Because of this any sins by Jews is amplified and scapegoated. The world wants a boogeyman, and the enemies of GOD are happy to oblige. They are a sinful people. All of us are. They are also a gifted people, with lots of wealth and many see this as another reason to scapegoat them as the woes of the world.

the injection of socialism and critical race theory into our educational systems, overshadowed by a lack of historical and spiritual/religious understanding, have poisoned and mislead our most-educated youth to hate our country, our judeo-Christian ethic/history, and in turn Israel and Jews. This concept is undergirded by unchecked of migration of moslem people into western countries who hate western civilization and ideals.

The Democrats and leftists have been ramping up violent rhetoric and violence itself since the George Floyd riots. They have become more radical and increased the anti-law and order rhetoric to the point of encouraging violence against anyone who disagrees with them.

They are normalizing violence toward their plans of overthrowing our government and taking it over to install a totalitarian/communist government. They have no respect for law, for our civilization or for our country.

Antisemitism is merely one of the symptoms; they do not care what they have to do or who they have to do it to. Their ultimate goal is to destroy our country.

The one and only reason for the increase of antisemitism in the USA and the world is the placement of Islam tought, Koran believing, Muslims by billionaires/trillionaires into countries that they want to take over, and accomplished by corrupt politicians being paid allowing this to happen. There is no better example than what happened in the USA. A member of the Muslem Brotherhood was placed as the President of the USA, he had thousands of muslims flown into the USA and placed in prepared, housing developments large enough to have representatives in the US Congress as Socialist/Democrats. Now Koran believing Islamists are being placed into key offices of many states within the USA. The USA was split at one time and recovered, it may happen again for another reason. One thing the corrupt politicians and the Brotherhood should know, hundreds of thousands of Americans are armed and ready.
