One of the oldest lies used against the Jewish people is that of deicide. We have been collectively accused of killing Christ pretty much from His death forward. This accusation is probably the number one reason for Jewish persecution, expulsion and murder across the centuries. It can be traced back to early Christian apologist Justin […]
The Ninth of Av or Tish b'Av is the ninth day of the month of Av on the Jewish calendar (August 6, 2002). It is not part of the significant Levitical feasts listed in Leviticus 23, but it is an important date for Jewish people worldwide. It is important because it happens to be the […]
A few weeks ago, I started a list of all the different types of antisemites. I want to continue that list in part two of this article. Remember that antisemitism cannot be fully understood without the spiritual component that allowed it to persist through the centuries. It is a creation of Satan to eradicate Israel […]
Eighty years ago, a massive round-up of Jews took place in the Greater Paris area. It became known as "La rafle du Vel d'Hiv" or the "Vel d'Hiv Round-up." The Vel d'Hiv or "Velodrome d'hiver" was a winter stadium built for bicycle races near the Eiffel Tower. It was a highly frequented place for sports […]
As early as the first Jews were described in the Bible, antisemitism was a thing. And thousands of years later, it continues to be a thing. What could possibly fuel so much hatred against the same people group for such a long time? It is fair and accurate to say that Jewish history has been […]

Whenever a yard of it was rebuilt, two yards were further destroyed. When Jewish people are approached by Christians, the Christians are almost […]
A great test to determine if a thought, word or deed is antisemitic, is the test developed in 2003 by Russian refusenik turned Israeli politician Nathan Sharansky. The test is known as the "Three Ds" or "3D Test." It comprises three components to help one determine if something is antisemitic. The three Ds stand for […]
Making a list and connecting dots to explain or expose a particular concept is not intrinsically wrong. There are plenty of cases when these lists can be very helpful. We can expose dangerous networks, organizations and programs and help dismantle them, but list-making can also become very detrimental. Take IBM for instance. Most people know […]
Historically and prophetically speaking, a very important event took place on May 14, 1948, as a result of a United Nations vote that took place in November 1947. Israel was reborn as a modern nation. This didn't happen in a vacuum. The famous 1917 Balfour Declaration set the wheels in motion for British Mandate Palestine […]
