I am sorry but regardless of whatever the consequences may be I can never bring myself to admire a people that call themselves the ‘master race’ and ‘God’s chosen people’.
I can never trust a people who are committing genocide, mass murder and ethnic cleansing with impunity, who are unleashing a second holocaust on the people of Gaza, who are starving infants and children before the eyes of the world and who reject the idea of a ceasefire and a two-state solution.
I can never have sympathy for a race of people who, 2000 years ago, murdered our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in cold blood and who, up until today, have refused to express any remorse, offer any regrets or display even the slightest semblance of repentance for doing so.
I can never support a people who regard Christians and Muslims as sub-humans, whose holy book called the Talmud refers to us as ‘goyen’ (animals) and who claim that our beloved Jesus was a fraud, a liar and a scammer who, they believe, is now boiling and burning in a sea of human waste in hell.
I can never stand by a people who spit on Christians in the street, who kill Muslims at will, who practice apartheid in their nation, who have an ethno-fascist world view, who are unrepentant racists, who have no regard for the sanctity of human life and who have nothing but contempt and disdain for international norms, international law and the international rules based system.
The anachronistic concept, erroneous notion and outdated school of thought that every Christian must stand by and support the State of Israel no matter what heinous atrocities the latter commits hereby stands discredited and rejected.
Christianity is about love, mutual respect, forgiveness, compassion, kindness and the display of understanding, decency and humanity and not about the willful and premeditated liquidation and extermination and hateful elimination of the Palestinian race.
The New Testament teaches us not to “wipe out Amalek” but to love our enemies, turn the other cheek and treat others as we would want to be treated ourselves.
It does not teach us to hate and kill our fellow human beings and neither does it constrain us to attempt to justify such a murderous disposition by a grotesque misunderstanding and a perfidious misinterpretation of the holy scriptures of our great faith.
Peace, love and unity is the way forward. It is the ONLY way. It is the Christian way!
