You Almost Went Quiet Too!

Somebody from your own side. They love the same country. You know, they they're from your same side. They they quote the same verses. The same verses you quote. They love the same country you love. They call themselves conservative. Conservative and Christian. All at the same time. All in the same breath you do. And then while you're scrolling, you see them on there, because they're a follower, they're a subscriber, or they're a just a friend on the Facebook. You read what they wrote about the Jews. Those darn pesky Jews. It wasn't a policy. It wasn't a it wasn't even a border. It was a sneer. An old poison and a new meme. A little joke about who really runs the banks. Who really runs the banks? And it was a link about who really owns the media, you know. The media. And under it, in the replies, people you sit next to on Sunday in church are doing the laughing emojis. And they're they're snickering. And here's the part that should scare you. For half a second. Before you caught yourself, some tired, angry corner of you almost nodded. The oldest hatred on earth. It just put on a suit, borrowed our language, quoted our Bible, and walked into our own house like it belonged there. And too many of us. Who'd have fought it in our neighbor's yard have gone quiet now that it wears our same colors. Well, not tonight. Tonight I say it all. And I say it out loud. And I say it unapologetically. What October the 7th actually was, what the Holocaust actually was, and who's mocking it right now. How this hatred just won City Hall in the city with more Jews than anywhere on earth but in Israel. What Hamas actually is, in its own words. And the ugly lie that swallowed the Western mind whole. No flinching. No, well it's nuanced. No, well, it's complicated. If the poisons, if the poison has come home, then home is where this man of God confronts it. This is true word. Faith for life with Dr. Sean. I'm Sean. If you're new here, we don't normally do Saturday episodes. We walk through the entire Bible in a year. The story of God. In its Hebrew world, and we always end at Yeshua because the whole story does. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, 6.30 every Sunday p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Everything tonight is footnoted in the study guide in the blog already posted for your review at TrueWordfaithforLife.com. Click on the blog. Go down and you'll find it. Every number, every quote, check my work. Don't take my word. Take the evidence. This isn't a comfortable episode. You know what? I don't want it to be. So did you say something? When you saw it, or did you go quiet because, well, it was awkward? Put it in the chat. Put it in the comments if you're listening later. Put it in the comments. One word. Spoke or silent. This isn't a drill. I want you to stand on the ground with me, not the feeling, because feelings lie. I want you to stand on the ground with me. In the United States in 2025, one watchdog. One watchdog counted more than 6,000 anti-Semitic incidents. By the way, welcome to everyone listening live and on the chat and everyone listening. As you go back and you listen on playback, it's almost immediately available. As soon as it's over, by the way, we're on every single podcast platform. Every single one. That's usually about an hour or two after the episode. You can sign and follow and do all those things. I'd love for you to click on subscribe at True Word Faith for Life with Dr. Sean. It's the one with about 4,000 followers or subscribers. We're small. Helps more than you know. One watchdog, one, counted more than 6,000 anti-Semitic incidents, anti-Jew incidents. That was down from the year before, but it was still about five times what it was a decade ago. And the violence got worse. You see, those incidents, yeah, they're down a little bit. But the violence got much worse. On American soil, people were being murdered for being or being near a Jew. Two young embassy staffers were shot dead outside a Jewish museum in our own capital, Washington, D.C. An elderly woman burned at a walk for hostages in Colorado. A governor's house in Pennsylvania was set on fire in Passover. And when researchers asked Americans about that violence, more than one in ten said the killers were justified. Did you hear that? Americans, when they were asked, when they were asked about that violence against Jews, more than one in ten said the killers were justified in what they did. For years, the loudest voices against Jew hatred on the left were voices on the right. Good. But the same watchdogs and plenty of honest conservatives have started admitting the quiet part out loud. We policed the other side's antisemitism, and we went silent on our own. A shepherd who only warns about the wolf in the neighbor's field while one walks through his own gate isn't a shepherd. He's a coward holding a staff. Say their names. What October 7th actually was. You can't understand this moment without one mourning, and I won't let you look away from it. I've seen all the video uncut. October the 7th, 2023, a Sabbath, a Shabbat, around 3,000 Hamas terrorists poured across the border into southern Israel and murdered about 1,200 people in a single day, most of them civilians. Was the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. They slaughtered more than 360 young people as they ran. In the farming villages along the border, B'eri, Kafaraza, they went house to house. They murdered parents in front of their children and children in front of their parents. They killed babies. They killed the elderly in their beds. Hey, listen, they killed babies in ovens. They put them in ovens while they sexually assaulted, you know the word. I've been chastised on Facebook for saying the R-word. So we got to say sexual assault. I don't know why. Call it what it is. It ain't pretty. I've seen the video. They tell you, well, yeah, no babies. That's come on. No, they did. Right in front of their mamas. And then they proudly sexually assaulted them. And then they killed them. The United Nations found reasonable grounds to believe women and men were sexually assaulted, R word, some as they were being murdered, some after they were dead. Two hundred and fifty-one human beings were dragged back into Gaza in chains, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of civilians were cheering them on, spitting on the near-dead hostages, kicking them, urinating on them, and participating in the sexual assaults. How do we know? I'll tell you in a moment. But here's a hint. They all filmed it themselves. The ones who have come home from being hostages tell harrowing things about what was done to them there. And before you say, well, those poor civilians, they're just such, let me tell you what, 83% of all those hostages were kept in the homes of civilians. And they weren't welcome guests. They were abused. They were R-worded. They were starved. And here's the part that closes the case. The part no honest person can wave away. We don't only know this from Israel. We know it from Hamas themselves. They filmed themselves doing it gleefully. They live streamed the murders on their victims' own phones. They stole their phones and held it up to their face so it would open. Then they called their parents and their friends. And they bragged about what they were doing. They called home to their own mothers using those same phones. And their fathers. They bragged about how many Jews they'd killed and they were cheered on. Those families cheered them on. That isn't Israel's word against Hamas's word, as if you could ever take their word. That's the killers on camera, gloating. When your evidence is the murderer's own proud confession, the argument is over. So when someone tells you it's all unverified, all exaggerated, all propaganda, hear what they're actually asking you to do. They're asking you to call the rescue workers who zipped those bodies into bags. They're asking you to call them liars. They're asking you to call the women who were sexually assaulted liars. The men and the children who were sexually assaulted. Liars. I only do the air quotes for the radio audience. You don't see me doing it. Because YouTube says I can't say the truth. The true word is the R word. Some as many as ten Hamas. And those who participated in it with Hamas. One right after the other. You're telling me I have to call the freed hostages liars. Some of them spend well over a year in captivity. They lost 30% of their body weight. Some had to have limbs amputated because they received no care. You're telling us we have to call them liars. You're telling us that to watch Hamas celebrate its own butchery on video and decide the victims made it up, well, that isn't skepticism, my friends. That isn't just looking for answers, my friends. That's the same machine that says the Holocaust never happened and it's running one more time. Who do you believe? The documented dead, the forensic teams, the survivors, and the killer's own footage? Or the men who did it and bragged? I stand with the victims every single time. I refuse to do the denier's work for them. Hey, refusing to do the denier's work for all of you who might be listening and be deniers? That isn't bias. It's the bare minimum of a working conscience. That wasn't resistance. It was a pogrom, an organized massacre of Jews, and it was demonic. And here's what tells you it was never about land. It's never been about land. That is a big lie. The West celebrated it too. Before Israel fired a single shot in response, while the bodies were still warm, crowds in our cities and on our campuses of our vaunted universities were already out cheering, handing out sweets, turning the killer's paragliders into a meme. And in the weeks after, people tore posters of kidnapped children off a lamppost because the faces of stolen babies were an inconvenience for them. You can't blame a response for a celebration that happened before the response existed. That was joy at dead Jews in broad daylight for all the world to see. All the while, too many who should have screamed in anger just watched. The thing they're mocking now. It connects to the older horror. This hatred always circ it always circles back to this. Six million Jewish men, women, and children. They were murdered in just a few years by the most educated, most cultured, most nominally Christian nation in Europe, not in a hot rage, on a schedule. Train timetables and paperwork and ovens. A third of the entire Jewish people on earth were erased in a very short time. The last eyewitnesses are in their nineties now. They're closing their eyes for the last time. One by one. And this is a moment, this is the moment, a generation of young men online decided to make Holocaust jokes, not just men, also women. To type Hitler was right as an edgy dare. To call it exaggerated, invented, deserved, and laugh, while the survivors with numbers, tattooed on their forearms, are still alive to read that. That's not edgy. That's not free thinking. That's spitting on the largest mass grave in human history in front of the very people who climbed out of that grave. If you've let one of these jokes slide into your group chat or your Facebook or your ex or whatever the case may be, whatever your social media fancy is. Because, well, just let it slide in there. You didn't say anything because you didn't want to be the uptight one, you know. You didn't want to be a Nancy. Hear me in love and hear me in fire. Repent. That isn't your sense of humor. That's a demon burrowing in your mouth. My friends, nobody bombed the nobody bombed the tracks. And the same horror is the key to something the world cannot understand about Israel. Why don't they flinch when they're called the worst names in the world? Why don't they lose one minute of sleep over what a campus or a newsroom or the United Nations thinks about how they defend themselves? Why? Why are they consistently some of the happiest peoples on the planet, except for the fact that bombs fall on them on a regular basis, except for the fact that they're ringed by nations of Muslims who hate them? And proudly proclaim from the river to the sea. Why don't Israelis care? Why doesn't the nation of Israel care? Why don't they lose any sleep over what you think of them? Listen, if you want to understand Israel, you have to understand this. Six million of them were rounded up, and the world watched it happen. Don't buy a single lie about what we didn't know. We just didn't know. We absolutely knew. The United States knew. Jews' homes were looted. Jews' shops were shuttered and handed to other people. Neighbors they'd lived beside for generations turned them in or turned their backs. They were hunted across an entire continent like animals caught and killed on a timetable. And here's the fact that never stops burning. By 1944, the Allies knew. They knew. They had the reconnaissance photographs. They had the bombers. Jewish leaders begged them to bomb the rail lines, feeding the death camps, to bomb the gas chambers themselves, anything to jam the machine of death, even for a week. And they wouldn't. They wouldn't. A distraction from the real war. And that very same summer, Allied bombers hit an industrial complex just a few miles from a place that I spent nearly an entire day walking through. Auschwitz gas chambers. Because that factory mattered to the war. They bombed that. But they couldn't bomb the tracks. They couldn't bomb the ovens. They could reach the area. They chose not to reach the tracks. And the trains kept running. The ovens kept burning. And no one came. So don't ever wonder why Israel builds its own iron dome, flies its own jets, and answers Hamas and the Houthis and Ian on its own terms without asking the world for permission. Hey, listen, they already ran the experiment on trusting the world to save them. And the bill. It came to six million souls. Never again isn't a slogan painted on a wall. It's a military doctrine written in the ash of everyone the world did not come for. When you have watched the entire earth decide your children weren't worth a single bombing run, you stop submitting your own survival to a committee. Israel doesn't defend itself the way the world would prefer, because the world already showed Israel exactly what its preferences are worth. In the end, it is up to the Jew to save the Jew. They learned that in the only classroom that ever taught it. And a believer who actually understands the covenant should be the last person on earth surprised that the people God swore to keep have decided to help them. To help him. And now it governs. And don't tell me this is just anonymous trolls in a basement. It just won. City Hall. New York City. The city with more Jewish souls than any place on earth except Israel itself. A few miles from where nearly 3,000 people were murdered by Muslim terrorists on a September morning. That city, this past November, elected a mayor whose record on the Jewish state it should have stopped every believer. Any reasonable thinking person should have stopped you cold. And on the 1st of January, they swore that man in. And now he governs them. Look at the record because it's all on tape and in print. He built a campaign on a promise to arrest the sitting prime minister of Israel if he set foot in the city. He knew he couldn't legally do it, but he would have done it anyway. This past summer, he put out a slick two-minute video branding the Prime Minister of Israel a war criminal. And his words, the architect of a horrific genocide. I don't think he knows what that word means. And he's saying, not welcome in New York. Even the anti-defamation league, listen, nobody's idea of a hard right-wing outfit called that video insightful and a dangerous dereliction of his duties. Takya lying for the advancement of Islam. Their own holy books tell them you can lie as long as it advances Islam. In fact, you are encouraged. Over and over, Mamdami was asked to condemn the chant, globalize the intifada, a phrase that rabbis of his own city haul. His own city call a summons to violence against Jews. Over and over, he wouldn't do it. Then he went further. He defended it by reaching for the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The Jews who rose against the Nazis, and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum itself rebuked him for it, publicly as offensive to survivors. He once said the boot of the NYPD on your neck had been laced by the IDF. He became the first New York mayor in more than 60 years to skip the Israel Day Parade. He called it the largest pro-Israel group in the country monsters. And the day he took office, he tore up the city's own adopted definition of antisemitism, and it didn't stop at him. When reporters examined the social media of the woman he married, they found she'd clicked like on posts celebrating October the 7th, not the aftermath, the massacre itself. Images of the terrorists pouring across the fence, and one post she endorsed called the masked R-word sexual assaults of that day a hoax, a hoax, a hoax. She's since apologized for old post. And I'll leave her apology standing right where she put it. But hear what got cheered, and how few steps it sits from the desk where New York City is now governed. And this isn't just talk. And it isn't just the past. And you can measure it. Within hours of taking the oath, he tore up the executive orders his own city had built to fight anti-Semitism. You know, the city with the most Jews outside of Israel. And he threw out its working definition of the whole thing itself. And since then, give him his due. But one number. Now, we don't know how those numbers are cooked. We just don't know. But one number ran the other way. In his first month, anti-Semitic hate crimes in this city leapt 182% over the year before. Across his first seven months, Jews took more than half of every hate crime in the entire city. They bore it on their backs once again. And there are about one in ten New Yorkers. In one recent month, seven of every ten, a man screaming a jihadist war cry stabbed a Jewish man in his skullcap outside a synagogue. Swastikas at children's playgrounds. A car driven at Jewish Center in Crown Heights. Now hear me clearly. Because this is where fairness matters. I'm not telling you this mayor's orders. I'm not telling you that he orders these attacks. I don't know that. But when a reporter puts a microphone in his face, he says the right words against H. Sure. He is careful. But his smile betrays him. He threw away the tools to fight it on the very first day. He set the tone from the highest desk in the city. And it isn't the far right ringing the alarm about him. It's the Jewish federations of his own city and its rabbis and the first Jewish speaker its council has ever had, all saying in writing, that Jewish New Yorkers feel targeted and unwelcome in the city they call home and that they helped build. Those aren't my words. That's the Jewish community of New York City, telling you what it's like to live under him. Judge the record. And here's the tragedy laid bare. The city with more Jewish souls than anywhere on earth but Israel looked at that record and they shrugged. And a lot of believers who lived there, who saw it, who knew better, said nothing because it was awkward, because it was the wrong team to criticize. That's the silence I warned you about. And it isn't theoretical anymore. It's been sworn into office. And one more thing, and look, I want to be careful here. This isn't about the man's faith. I have some good friends that are Muslim. I've taught them what their own religion says, what their own holy books say, in their own original writing language. The Quran, I've read it cover to cover. Cover to cover. I've read it in their own language. I've read the Umdar as Saliq, The Reliance of the Traveler, in its own language. And yet I know there are faithful Muslims who love their Jewish neighbors. And a Christian who smears a whole people to score a point. And they've learned nothing from this episode. This is about a documented chosen record. Judge the record. Look, I don't care who or where he prays. Doesn't matter to me. It's none of my business. But you see, it's not hiding. It isn't just New York. It isn't just hiding in the shadows. It's headlining the rally on stage to raucous applause. This year in Michigan, a candidate for the United States Senate ran up and down and up and down the state, arm in arm with a famous streamer named Hassan Piker, a man with millions of young followers. The University of Michigan's own Jewish student group called him, their words, a known anti-Semite. One of the candidates' fellow Democrats compared him to a notorious white supremacist. Piker's old comments about September 11th resurfaced and became a flashpoint in the race. And yet the candidate wouldn't disavow him. They put him on the stage many, many times. They packed the conquer the uh the college lecture halls, 600 students at a time, and much of what came out, much of what came out of his mouth and off that stage, it was aimed at Israel and aimed at America's support for it, and aimed at Jews. And then that candidate won his primary by one point. It was the most expensive Senate primary in the history of this country. Do you not question who is behind that? That Democratic nominee is now the nominee for the United States Senate. And in November he faces the Republican Mike Rogers, and the seat is open, which means it could tip control of the entire Chamber of Congress. That's not a troll in a basement. That's a man one election away from the Senate floor. He's campaigning beside a celebrity idolized by millions of young men and young women. And he's saying it on video into microphones. And the room is cheering. And he is cheering. And the poison isn't sneaking around anymore. It's running for office. It's filling the room and it's proud. Let me tell you what you gotta do. You gotta follow the pipe where all of this comes from. So where is this flood coming from? Three pipes. Fast because you can't shut water off without finding the water source. First, are you ready? It's the machine. You're not being informed by your feed, you're being farmed by it. The algorithm rewards whatever enrages you because rage keeps your thumb moving. And contempt for a small, ancient, easily blamed people living in a country the size of New Jersey. Well, that's the most reliable rage farm on the market. And some of it isn't even real people. Hostile regimes run armies of fake accounts, bots, pumping this sludge into the stream on purpose, and it works because normal every day. Smart people. They buy it. Because the West is too distracted to notice. Too busy hating itself and hating the one real friend it's got in the region. Second, are you ready? The recycling. Almost nothing you're sold is new. The globalists who secretly control everything. That's the protocols of the Elders of Zion. A forgery the Tsar's secret police cooked up over a century ago, lifted from a French satire and proven fake in a courtroom all the way back to the 1930s. It's fake, and it's getting passed around tonight, even right now, by people who swear they hate fake news, and yet they're pushing it themselves. Third, the rot in the church. Replacement theology is creeping back in. The lie that the church, the church replaced Israel and God's done with the Jewish people. He's finished with them. And behind that lie rides something filthier, a movement that treats Christianity not as the way you follow, but as a bloodline you're born into, a heritage badge with the Jew cast as the eternal outsider. I want you to hear me clearly now. That is not Christianity. That is paganism holding a Bible. And Paul, the Apostle Paul, saw it coming 2,000 years ago. This is the text, Paul's warning to people just like us. Open Romans chapter 9 through 11. The Apostle Paul, a Jews Jew, writing to a mostly Gentile church in anguish. He lists what still belongs to Israel: the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the Torah, the worship, the promises, the patriarchs, present, tense, belong, not belonged. Has God rejected his people? Has God rejected his people? The Apostle Paul answers with the most violent no in the Greek language, Mejorito. And watch what your translation did with that. Some render it God forbid, some by no means, some certainly not. Every one of those very polite responses are not what was said. Every one of those is a committee, a translation committee smoothing down Paul, smoothing him down for the church. What Paul actually wrote is closer to this. May it never come to be. It is a man recoiling. It is the strongest refusal the Greek language has, and your Bible handed it to you as a mild version and never told you it made a choice. Then the picture every Gentile Christian should have burned into the back of your eyes. Israel is a cultivated olive tree. You were a wild shoot, roadside scrub going nowhere. And in sheer unearned mercy, in Chesed, his covenant loyalty, you were grafted in, fed by their root, warmed by their covenant. And the apostle Paul says it flat: do not boast against the branches. You do not support the root. The root supports you. If God didn't spare the natural branches, don't assume he'll indulge an arrogant, grafted one. Contempt for the Jewish people isn't a quirk, it's a danger to your own soul. And under it all sits the oldest word. Genesis chapter 12. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who treats you with contempt I will curse. A self-described Christian pouring out that contempt is volunteering for the wrong side of the first promise God ever made in the name of the Jewish Messiah he claims to serve. Well, there are lies and the facts that bury them. Vague glove won't protect you, my friends. Only facts will. Here are only four because I don't have time. So I'll give them to you quickly. Just these four. The first lie: Jews are Khazar converts with no claim to the land. False. Hebrew is a native language of that region, not a European import. The hills there carry Hebrew names thousands of years old, and the genetics never found that Khazar origin. Not once. The indigenous people wrote in the Bible. Those people who wrote the Bible in the land's own language. La Chonkladesh, the language of God. That's not colonizing. That's coming home. The second lie, Jews secretly control the world. That's the protocols again, fake, proven fake over and over. And notice the tell, the lie needs the Jew to be secretly all-powerful and despised minority all at once. That's a scapegoat ritual, not analysis. The third lie. Zionism is white colonialitzum. Zionism is white colonialitsum. A colonizer strips a country to enrich a mother country back home. There's no mother country here. This is the one case on earth of an indigenous people returning to the land they never stopped praying toward across 2,000 years of exile. Debate borders like an adult. That's fair. Do it all you like. I have plenty of evidence there. But the Jews' very presence is a crime. They're on stolen land, they're colonizers, they're genocide committers. That isn't a policy. It's the poison and it's rebottled. The fourth lie. There are many more, but I only have time for four. The fourth lie, the Old Testament God is a lesser God. That's Marcion, a heretic the church threw out in the second century, crawling his way back through the window. Same God. Genesis to re all from the beginning all the way to the end. Genesis to Revelation. Cut out the Hebrew scriptures, and you haven't purified your faith. You've gutted it. What came through the people you were taught to sneer at. Now turn the light around. The idea that there's one God just who speaks. The idea that every human being, slave and king, unborn and elderly, carries Zelim Elohim. The image of God. And is therefore priceless. The whole grammar of human dignity, your civilization runs on, was born right there. Zelim Elohim. The Shabbat or Sabbath, the radical idea that a human being isn't a machine. The prophets who told kings that God cared more about the widow and the orphan and the stranger than about their sacrifices. Then, look at what a hunted, scattered people did with their minds. Roughly two-tenths of 1% of the human race has earned about 22% of every Nobel Prize ever given. The Jews. More than a hundred times their share. And little modern Israel, ringed by enemies, gave the world the pill-sized camera that finds cancer without a scalpel, the drip irrigation that grows food on half the water, the medicine that holds back multiple sclerosis, the firewall guarding your bank account tonight, and field hospitals that land first when an earthquake flattens the city on the far side of the planet, and people that hate them. They even brought a dead language back to life on the tongues of school children, something never done before and never done since. This. This is who you were taught to hate. Now, some truth about Hamas. Now, the group that started this, because the West tells a fairy tale, and the whole truth is written down. Hamas is a terrorist organization designated as such by the United States and the European Union. And you don't have to guess what it wants because it told you in its own founding charter, in writing in 1988. And it never took it back. It never took it back, it only made it stronger. The charter cites the protocols of the elders of Zion by name, the same forgery I just buried. It says Israel will exist only until Islam wipes it out. It quotes a saying that the end won't come until the Muslims. Muslims kill the Jews, until even the rocks and the trees give up the Jew hiding behind them. So sit with the irony until it burns you. The whole Western world is screaming genocide at Israel. And one document in this whole war actually spells out a plan to wipe out a people as such because just because of who they are. It's Hamas's own charter. The genocidal intent isn't hidden. It's their founding text. And how does Hamas fight? It buries its rockets in apartment blocks, its command posts under hospitals, its tunnels under schools because it wants its own civilians to die on camera. Their suffering is Hamas's ammunition. It steals humanitarian aid. It folds its own dead fighters into civilian body counts, and Western newsrooms print those numbers like its gospel. And here's the fact that indicts every marcher. Hamas could end the suffering in Gaza tomorrow morning by laying down its weapons and giving back the remains of the remaining hostages, but it won't do it. Because dead Palestinian children, while they serve the cause, and living Israeli children offended. The crowd screaming at Israel have the moral math exactly backwards. And what is the ideology under the hatred? Hamas didn't invent its hatred, it inherited it from an ideology, and that ideology has a name. The name isn't Islam, the faith of a billion and a half people, most of whom want nothing more than to raise their children in peace, and they want nothing to do with Hamas. They want nothing to do with the Palestinians, because they won't even take them in into their own land. People of their same faith. The name isn't Islam, the name is Islamism. I call it RPM, religious, political, and military ideology, political, revolutionary, supremacist Islam, the movement that takes a religion and forges it into a weapon and splits the entire human race into two camps: the believer and the kafir, the infidel, everyone else. And in that worldview, the Jew and the Christian are on the wrong side of the line. You already heard where it leads. In Hamas's own charter. Quoting a saying that the last day won't come until the Muslims kill the Jews. That's not some fringe misreading. It's not some fringe misreading smuggled in by an enemy. It's printed. It's signed. It's taught even to their smallest and youngest children in the classic manuals of Islamic sacred law. The one still printed and studied today. They lay out a world no free person would ever choose. Holy war is a standing obligation, death for the one who leaves the faith. The Jew and the Christian tolerate it only as a lower caste paying dimitude, living under the terms of the powerful. That's the letter of the classic law. How do I know? Because I've read the Quran four times in their own language. I've read it in every translation of the Islamic that there is. I've read the Umdurasaliq, The Reliance of the Traveler, The Muslim's Manual on Being a Good Muslim. And where it's taken as binding and literal, it cannot be reconciled with any constitution, especially ours, built on equal citizens and a free conscience. Listen, listen closely. You don't like to hear this, but it's true. Islamism is not compatible with the West. It's not compatible with the gospel. And it's not compatible with a single Jewish child growing up unafraid. But now the discipline. And it's the very same disciple and the very same discipline I demanded of you about your own side of the aisle. The enemy is the ideology. It's not your neighbor. It isn't the Muslim who fled this exact ideology because it tried to kill him, too. It isn't the Muslim mother who wants her daughter in a classroom instead of a war. Across the world, Muslims are the first and most frequent victims of the jihadist by far. So if you walk out of tonight hating the person instead of the poison, you've become the mirror image of everything I've condemned in this entire episode, and you've learned nothing. Name the ideology, fight the all fight the ideology with everything you have. And love the person in front of you. That's the narrow road. And it's the only one a follower of Yeshua is given to walk. Now. Now the big lie. Genocide. Brings us to the ugliest room in the house. You've heard it scream from campuses, written all over, signs, professionally made, paid for. By people you wouldn't invite into your own living room. God help us also from pulpits. Preachers. That Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Real children have died in Gaza. Real actual children have died in Gaza. And we grieve everyone because we're not the people who celebrate the dead children. We are not the culture of death. We are the culture of life. Genocide isn't a feeling. It's not a feeling. It's a legal word with a razor meaning. And that meaning was bought with Jewish blood. It was coined by Rafael Lemkin, a Polish Jew who lost dozens of his own family in the Holocaust. So that would happen, he coined this phrase, genocide, so that what happened to his people would finally have a name and a law. And the heart of it, the thing that separates genocide from even a terrible war, is intent. The specific provable intent to destroy a people because of who they are. Wars kill horribly, absolutely without it. Genocide requires it. So here's the fact the mob will never hand you. The actual court in The Hague, they've had this exact question for over two years, and it hasn't found that Israel committed genocide. Because the case is still in written arguments, years from a ruling. That one word everyone quotes plausible. That was a procedural threshold to let the case even be heard in the first place. It was never a finding that genocide happened, and the court has said so. Now look hard at the number they wave at you because it comes from one place, the Hamas run health ministry in Gaza, the same Hamas. And that ministry does one thing that quietly rigs the entire argument. It never separates its own fighters from civilians. Every gunman who came across the fence on the 7th of October and died in the fighting, well, it gets dropped right into that same pile of people and handed to the world as some murdered, poor, innocent person. Israel puts the Hamas and Allied dead in the many thousands, absolutely. And every one of them is sitting inside the total campus chance back at you at proof of genocide. The same ministry got caught quietly deleting thousands of names from its own list in a single update with no explanation. And its starvation figures keep coming apart under a second look. No one has provided more food, including Hamas. No one has provided more food and water and medicine to the people of Gaza than Israel. You see, this is the propaganda arm of the men who started the war in the first place. You see, October 6th, there was relative peace. It was shattered by Hamas and the people of Gaza. In the world's newsrooms, well, they read it's they read Hamas's press release out loud, like it's scripture. There are two armies, and they are not the same species. They are apples and ardvarks. Now look at the two forces themselves, because this is where the whole moral universe splits open, and the West has decided not to look. One army tells the enemy where it's about to strike. Think about how insane that is. Evacuation corridors are open before the strike comes. There's no tactical advantage on this earth to warning the men who want to kill you. It costs you surprise. It costs you soldiers. Their soldiers have died walking into buildings on foot that they could have leveled from the air. Because clearing a house room by room risks your own soldiers. And flattening it risks somebody else's children. No army in history has ever, has ever been under any obligation to fight that way. And yet the Israeli Defense Force, the IDF, they do it anyway. I'm not going to stand here and tell you that the IDF has never failed, because they have. Never ever, don't ever let anyone flatten these two into both sides, apples and Ardvarks. One force kills civilians by mistake and calls it a failure to be investigated. The other force arranges for civilians to be killed and calls it a victory to be filmed. One hides its soldiers behind concrete to protect its children. The other hides its soldiers behind its children to protect its rockets. Those aren't two points on a spectrum. Those are opposite species of a thing. And any man who can't tell them apart hasn't been confused. They've been recruited. And they are also terrorists, even if you're a pasty white female American. Well, there was a verdict that screamed before the trial. Now set it side by side. Israel's stated aim is to dismantle Hamas and bring its kidnapped people home. Absolutely, that was their goal. And now they just want them to stop firing rockets. They just want them to stop starving and poisoning their own people. Hamas's stated aim in writing is to kill the Jews. One side has a charter of extermination, the other has a court case, still arguing whether intent can ever be inferred. And here's how you know it's genocide and how it isn't. It isn't genocide, even if you hand them every number at face value. You take it at face value. A nation with Israel's firepower that actually wanted to erase two million people, it wouldn't take two years. It wouldn't pause for ceasefire after ceasefire and drop leaflets warning families to flee the buildings before it strikes them. It would take an afternoon, it would take two hours, maybe not even an hour. And they could bomb Gaza to glass. And everything and everyone in it. And every death since on both sides of that fence traces back to one choice: a choice Hamas has made on the 7th of October, a choice it remakes every single day. It hides behind its own children instead of surrendering. Hamas chose this war. The leaders of Hamas are billionaires. Hamas can end it tonight. Hostages come home. Rifles are set down and it refuses and it refuses and it refuses again. So the blood is a debt in the ledger of the men who started the war and use their own people as sandbags to hide behind, not the ledger of the ones who came to carry their hostages home. The selective fury gives the whole thing away. Where are the encampments for the Uyghurs or Sudan for the actual mass slaughters grinding on right now with a fraction of the noise? When one nation, the Jewish one, gets held to a standard numb but nobody else is held to, and charged with the one crime coined to shield its own dead, an honest person has to ask why this one.

The reflexive evidence.

That isn't a righteous concern. At its root is a lie, and it carries a spirit that is very old and very dark. And it can only end in one place at the feet of the Jewish Messiah, because the sneering Christian Jew hater has never once reckoned with the fact that undoes them. The one they claim to worship wouldn't be led into this movement, wouldn't be led into their own movement. Yeshua was not a European. He was a son of Israel, of the tribe of Judah, circumcised on the eighth day, keeper of the feasts. He wept over Jerusalem. He read Isaiah in the synagogue. He rolled up the scroll and said, Today this is fulfilled. His own mother, his ema, sang a song straight out of the Hebrew scriptures. Every one of his first followers was a Jew. The Bible thump. The Bible, you thump, was written cover to cover by Jewish hands. So when you make peace with contempt for the Jewish people, you're not defending Christ. You're betraying him with a Bible in your hand. Look at the tree again. You are the wild branch. You are a roadside scrub, and in mercy you were grafted in. The root holds you. You do not hold the root. And the cross at the center of everything was a Jewish Messiah dying of Roman death to fling the covenant of a Jewish God open to the whole world of wild branches like you and me. Every drop of grace you've ever tasted came to you through Israel, down the trunk of that ancient tree, into a branch that you had no right to be there. You can't love the sap and curse the root. It's never been done. And the one on that cross won't allow it. So what do you do? Not feel. Do this week. Specifically. Number one, renounce replacement theology and refuse it from anyone who teaches it, no matter how orthodox they sound on everything else. Teach your family Romans 11. The root holds you. Number two, learn the three tricks cold. The secret cabal, the double loyalty, and the they're not real Jews. The second you spot one, you shut it off. Number three, and this is the hard one. When it shows up on your side, name it. Not in the neighbors field, in yours. In the group chat, in your comments, under the post from a guy who you agree with about everything else. And have the ballot box. It's permission. Number four. If you pass a poster of an Israeli hostage, and you can read the name, say it out loud. And don't let anyone tear it down in front of you. You're a human being. Number five. I'm gonna be a human being to a human being. A friend. I see it. I'm with you. Watch what it does. Here's your choice, and there's no third option. You can keep drifting with the feed, laughing at the edgy meme, going quiet when it's awkward, voting like it doesn't matter. You know, Senator John Fetterman is now being painted by liberals, the the the wild left that it actually is, and even by moderate Democrats. Well, he's a nut job. Well, he's lost it. Well, his own people have abandoned his camp, and now they're planting articles and proudly coming out and saying, Well, this guy is he doesn't respect the Congress, he doesn't respect the office, he doesn't go to constituent meetings, he doesn't respect time and all of these things. Well, isn't that interesting? He was amazing, he was heroic until he came out and supported Israel. But it goes awkward. When voting like it doesn't matter, stand up. Don't remain quiet. Because if you do, you'll wake up one day to find you've become the very thing your grandfather went to war to destroy. With a cross around your neck the whole time. I say it's a challenge and it's a choice. Or you can be what the grafted branch was always meant to be: grateful, rooted, loyal to the trunk that saved you, a blesser, not a cursor, on the right side of the oldest promise God ever made. The poison came home, but so can you. Prayer isn't asking for an easy journey, it's asking for a strong back. Father, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, God of Israel and God of every wild branch you ever had mercy upon, including me. We tell the truth tonight. We remember the murder of October 7th and the hostages that were in the dark. And we remember the six million and every child of Gaza used as a shield by wicked men and women. We grieve them all. Because they all bear your image. Some of us have. We laughed at what we should have mourned. We went quiet when we should have stood up and stood out. Father God, we voted as if none of it mattered. I ask that you forgive us. Pull the contempt out of us at the root before it hardens into who we are. Adunai Elohim. Give us a backbone for the awkward moment in the ballot and the group chat. Give us eyes to see the lie under its new paint. Oh God, guard your people, Israel. Break the power of Hamas without breaking the innocent, and bring us a wild scrub branch and the natural branch. We ask you bring us together into the shalom that only the Messiah can make. I pray this in the name of Yeshua, Son of Judah, and Savior of the world. Amen. And maybe whenever you're listening to this live or on playback, in the middle of all this fire, you realize the deeper problem out there. Look, it isn't, it isn't out there, some faraway place. Out in the feed, out in the algorithm. It's in you. And you're tired of it. And you've decided I want the root. You want to come home to the God who made you and the Messiah who died for you. Don't wait. Pray this with me right now, wherever you are. Pray this with me. Yeshua, I need you. I believe you died for me and rose from the grave. I surrender my life to you today. Forgive me, fill me, lead me. I'm yours. In your heavenly name. Amen. And if you prayed that prayer even quietly, even unsure, tell somebody. If you want, type it in the chat or the comments below. Message me at true wordfaithforlife.com. Content contact at the top or on the little thing on the right that lets you leave me a voicemail. Nothing there costs you except for my book. Of course, you have to pay for that. I have to pay for it so you do. I pay for all that other stuff. All the rest of it is free. You won't be charged. There'd be no paywall, none of that. You ask me for help, I'll help you. I've helped countless others. I'll be glad to help you. Message me. I'll help you find a Bible-teaching Yeshua-loving church this week. And I'll help you walk through the door. All of heaven just moved. And you shouldn't carry this new life alone. The oldest hatred learned a new disguise. It borrowed our language, it quoted our book. It won an election, it walked through our gate with a cross on its coat, and it dared us to look. But the root still holds. The sap. It still climbs. The tree that carried mercy to me was planted in Zion, watered through exile, and it won't be cursed by a branch that forgot it was a scrub by the sea.

So bless. Do not curse. Come home to the trunk. The Jew on the cross is still holding the door.

And the shalom he's making is wide enough for the wild branch, the natural branch, and this whole aching world. And more. Share it on your social media. Especially the one who needs it and won't like it. That's how the poison gets pushed back out of the house. I want you to receive this blessing. That means the language of God, which is Hebrew. It is the language that Adonai Elohim spoke to his people, and that is the language that his people spoke to him. And they still do today. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. Eastern Standard Time, live. Sundays, 6 30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, live. Until then.

Shalom Bishem Yeshua.

Shalom Shalom.
