Scripture for Today, 5-25-21: Against Hate!

Tolerating Hate or Standing Against Hate?
King David said: “For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes; and I have walked in Your truth. I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evildoers: and will not sit with the wicked.”

Psalm 26:3-5

5-25-21m * -- The recent attacks on the Jewish State of Israel by the Islamic terrorists in Gaza Israel - Hamas - calling themselves "Palestinians" has once again brought out the haters of Jews in America. Like roaches from that darkest dankest places, they emerged, stirring up violence with a common chant, “Kill the Jews.” This is like Nazi Germany history repeating itself, except this time it is in the land of the free and home of the brave = AMERICA.

We need to denounce this hate speech, this horrible sentiment, in no uncertain terms. The haters have gone over the top with weaponizing race, sexual origin, ethnicity, politics — you name it, if there is a way to hate, the haters are making it and taking it. These are the same people who go overboard with slogans like “Hate doesn’t live here.”
 
What we are seeing is that people are protesting by channeling their hate toward groups of people under the mask of a political belief. Both are very dangerous. 

This goes far beyond the right to free speech, which they have a right to express, but it doesn’t make them right. It goes to the heart of a civilization. 

A very concerning reality about the ongoing anti Israel riots we've witnessed and tolerated, is they're destroying property, occupying areas and are violent against others because they are upset about a perceived social ill.

In reality, they're advocating an overthrow of the Israeli government, which means they demand nothing less than replacement of freedom and liberty with the chains of anarchy and Marxism. They are pawns of a greater cause, but are too blinded by their hate to see it.

We are witnessing American elected officials using sly words to espouse and incite hate, and it's actually being tolerated. The recent protests and harassment against Jews by supporters of Islamic terrorists are an example. This is how it starts. The seeds of hate are being watered by the words of the haters. It must stop.

You see, all the hate is causing such vitriol that if it doesn’t stop, we risk the historic outcome of death and ultimate destruction. There is a right and a wrong. When the head of Hamas, for example, is bragging about how Hamas targeted groups of Jewish civilians with rockets, and a "President" of the United States demands Israel cease its defense against it, the cry “Never Again” has renewed meaning.
 
When the actions of Hamas are celebrated in the streets of America and our leaders do not denounce them or it takes days after such a hate-filled protest for the current sitting leader of the USA to even acknowledge the issue, as a society, we have a deep problem. This weaponization of race and ethnicity must stop before it goes systemic deadly. There is right and wrong. And these days the wrong is being not only tolerated, but hailed as just. [Isaiah 5:20 Evil is now considered good.] Pray, speak, stand against it that it may not engulf us.

"Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. [..]  the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer and every mouth speaks folly. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still."
Isaiah 1:4, 9:17
