I am sorry, but regardless of the consequences, I can never bring myself to admire a people who regard themselves as the “master race” or “God’s chosen people.”
I cannot trust a people currently committing genocide, mass murder, and ethnic cleansing in Gaza—with impunity. I cannot stand by those orchestrating what can only be described as a second holocaust, starving children and infants in plain view of the world, while simultaneously rejecting ceasefire efforts and a peaceful two-state solution.
I struggle to sympathize with a people who, 2,000 years ago, murdered our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in cold blood—and who, to this day, have never shown remorse, regret, or repentance.
I cannot support a worldview in which Christians and Muslims are regarded as sub-human. A worldview shaped by interpretations of the Talmud that refer to us as *goyim*—animals. One that considers our beloved Jesus Christ a fraud, a liar, and a deceiver now boiling in hell.
I cannot stand by a people who spit on Christians in public, kill Muslims without consequence, enforce apartheid laws in their nation, and promote an ethno-fascist worldview that scorns human dignity and international law.
The outdated notion that Christians must blindly support the State of Israel—no matter its crimes—stands rejected. It is both theologically and morally bankrupt.
Christianity teaches love, respect, forgiveness, kindness, and empathy. It does not teach us to justify premeditated extermination or ethnic cleansing by abusing scripture or misinterpreting the Old Testament.
The New Testament calls 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.
To those who justify killing in the name of faith—this is not Christianity. Christianity is peace. Christianity is unity. Christianity is justice. And that is the path I choose.
Peace, love, and unity is the way forward.
It is the only way.
It is the Christian way.
