SISTERS IN CHRIST
【RISE OF ANTI-SEMITISM WITHIN
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY】
When all these blessings and curses I have set
before you come on you and you take them to heart
wherever the LORD your God disperses you among the
nations, 2 and when you and your children return to
the LORD your God and obey him with all your heart
and with all your soul according to everything I
command you today, 3 then the LORD your God will
restore your fortunes and have compassion on you
and gather you again from all the nations where he
scattered you. 4 Even if you have been banished to the
most distant land under the heavens, from there
the LORD your God will gather you and bring you
back. 5 He will bring you to the land that belonged to
your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He
will make you more prosperous and numerous than
your ancestors. 6 The LORD your God will circumcise
your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that
you may love him with all your heart and with all your
soul, and live. 7 The LORD your God will put all these
curses on your enemies who hate and persecute
you. 8 You will again obey the LORD and follow all his
commands I am giving you today. 9 Then the LORD
your God will make you most prosperous in all the
work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the
young of your livestock and the crops of your land.
The LORD will again delight in you and make you
prosperous, just as he delighted in your ancestors, 10 if
you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands
and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law
and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and
with all your soul. …

witnesses against you that I have set before you life

Many articles from 13th Oct. onwards about a UNESCO resolution that denies the Jewish
claim to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall, and which reclassifies Temple Mount in
exclusively Muslim terms have caught my attention. How such a ridiculous resolution to
effectively rewrite several thousand years of history of Israel could have been passed is utterly
outrageous and inexplicable. Regrettably, it is nothing less than evidence of the enormous anti-
Semitic bias prevalent in the world. The following is an excerpt from the Jerusalem Post on
Thursday 13th Oct. 2016.
In a 24–6 vote, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Thursday gave
preliminary approval to a resolution that denies Jewish ties to its most holy religious sites: the Temple
Mount and the Western Wall. …Twenty-six nations abstained from the vote and two were absent. The six
countries that voted in support of Israel were the United States, Great Britain, Lithuania, the Netherlands,
Germany and Estonia. … In 2015, the Palestinians, who have been recognized by UNESCO as a member
state since 2011, began a drive to change the language with which that international body refers to the
Temple Mount area, known to Muslims the Al-Haram Al Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary). Initially they tried and
failed to have it declared a solely Muslim site. Since then, they have submitted resolutions on Jerusalem at
every possible UNESCO meeting, that uses only the Muslims terms for the Temple Mount area and its
adjacent Western Wall. UNESCO’s Executive Board passed such a resolution last April and its 21-member
World Heritage Committee had been poised to do so again in July in Istanbul. …
Thursday’s vote was taken by UNESCO’s 58-member Program and External Relations Commission in
advance of its ratification next Monday or Tuesday by the UNESCO Executive Board, which is made up of
the same member states. … Ten countries which voted for the resolution the last time it came before
UNESCO for a vote, abstained this time around, Gold (Foreign Ministry director- general) said. What that
means, he said, is that more countries voted for Israel or abstained, than voted against Israel. The 10
countries which switched their vote from last time were France, Sweden, Slovenia, Spain, Argentina, India,
Sri Lanka, Togo, Guinea and Ghana. Gold signed documents over the summer with Guinean officials
formally reestablishing diplomatic ties. He also noted the significance of India and Argentina switching their
votes and not voting against Israel, as they have traditionally done. … Gold noted that none of the
European countries voted for the resolution. …
Netanyahu suggested that the Bible aside, UNESCO members should visit the Arch of Titus in Rome.
“On it one can see what the Romans brought back to Rome after they destroyed and looted the Second
Temple on the Temple Mount 2,000 years ago. There, engraved on the Arch of Titus, is the seven-branched
menorah that is the symbol of the Jewish People, and I remind you, is also the symbol of the Jewish state
today,” he said. “Soon, UNESCO will say that the Emperor Titus engaged in Zionist propaganda,”
Netanyahu said. “To say that Israel has no connection to the Temple Mount and the Western Wall is like
saying that China has no connection to the Great Wall of China or that Egypt has no connection to the
pyramids. By this absurd decision, UNESCO has lost what little legitimacy it had left,” Netanyahu added. …
(UNESCO Votes: No Connection between Temple Mount and Judaism)
According to other comments, while the UNESCO resolution acknowledges Jerusalem as
significant to three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the section on
Temple Mount uses Arabic place-names alone, “Al-Buraq” for the Western Wall and “Al-Haram
Al-Sharif” for Temple Mount. Many suggest that its blatant defiance of historical and
archaeological record and its clear anti-Israel bias will only encourage further terror attacks on
Jews, and the organisation’s activities will be undermined because it is supposed to work for
global peace and security. Among many, referring to an anti-Semitic nature of the UN, Frances
Rabbitts poignantly points out its anti-Semitic agendas as follows.
In broader context, the resolution represents the next stage in the Arab bid to delegitimise Israel and

3. 3
erase her claim on the Land, from the top down, through a concerted effort within the UN. The text of the
resolution repeatedly refers to Israel as 'the occupying Power' and nearly exhausts the thesaurus with its
cries for Israel to relinquish her presence and authority in the West Bank: it 'deplores', 'condemns', 'decries',
'disapproves of' and 'deeply regrets' Israel's authority over the contested areas, condemning "continuous
Israeli aggressions" and "provocative abuses", with no mention whatsoever of Palestinian terror activity. …
The resolution on 'Occupied Palestine' is more than just a failure to acknowledge the Jewish claim on
Temple Mount – it is a deliberate erasure of it, a bald-faced attempt to rewrite history in favour of
contemporary Islamic agendas. It is the latest in a string of distorted, anti-Semitic judgments to emerge from
the UN, adding to the international effort to demonise Israel's presence in the West Bank and her claim on
Jerusalem. …UNESCO's mission is to build peace "in the minds of men and women". As its behaviour
stands in such stark contrast to this goal, we must learn that we cannot rely on international institutions of
'peace' and 'justice' to promote the truth worldwide. Only those whose minds are being renewed by The
Truth himself - Jesus Messiah, who makes "one new man" out of Jew and Gentile (Eph 2:15), dissolving
centuries of enmity - can show the world the pathway to true peace. And we don't have to be international
diplomats or UN officials to do that – it starts where we are, with those immediately around us, today.

Rabbitts concludes that the only key for true world peace lies in the Messiah Jesus Christ and
His Word, the Bible, and so, indeed, our entire future depends upon our decision exactly as the
Book of Deuteronomy promises (quoted in the beginning). Not only Jews but also all nations
should ‘now choose life’, blessings from the Lord and not death and curses.
The following article written by a Turkish Muslim Adnan Oktar, entitled ‘Understanding
Zionism: What It Is and What It Isn't’, which admonishes the Muslim world to stop viewing
Zionism as a source of evil is worth taking a look at. Despite the utter inconsistency of teachings
between the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament) and the Qur’an, which the author Oktar believes
and quotes from, his comment reflects his sound conscience and yearning for peace in the Middle
East. His righteous opinion is precious when a tide of Anti-Semitism has been on the rise.
Zionism, named after Mount Zion in Israel, stands out among the hundreds of
the world’s nationalist movements. It is all too often attributed to evil conspiracies
and placed at the center of all malevolence; this inexplicable attitude is never seen
in regard to other nationalist movements.
Its actual aim, however, is to bring together the Jewish people who have long
been scattered around the world, under the same state. The Jewish Diaspora
wanted to establish their own state in their hereditary lands. In our day, the
antagonism towards them, in other words anti-Semitism, has been re-branded as
anti-Zionism. Anti-Semitism targets all Jews because of their nationality. Though
the land upon which Israel is established is ringed by 22 Arab states, all of whom
are tied to their ethnic origins, the Jewish people’s gathering together and
establishment of their own state has always been a subject of dispute.
Yet Israel is considered as a port in a storm for millions of Jewish people. The
State of Israel’s position as a safe home for Jews would be better appreciated
considering nearly one million Jewish people, leaving all of their assets behind, were
forced to emigrate from Arab countries in the aftermath of the 1948 war.
Israel, unlike many Arab countries, consists of people with various faiths and
diverse ethnic backgrounds. One-fifth of its population is Arab, while the entire
population is composed of over 70 ethnic origins and cultures with 35 different
languages and dialects. It is worth mentioning that Arabic is also an official
language alongside Hebrew in this country.
Despite some generally-accepted misperceptions in the Middle East, Zionism is
not an undertaking devised for world domination. After all the suffering and

4. 4
persecution they went through over the centuries, the Jewish nation’s only goal is to
live safely in the lands where their forefathers lived. The Jewish people have been a
part of this land for 3,500 years, and were expelled from their homes long ago by the
oppressive hand of the Roman Empire. The emergence of the State of Israel serves
as the realization of this small nation's dreams of a homeland where they can
ultimately live in safety and govern themselves.
It is highly surprising, but also true, that many Muslims are even incognizant of
the actual meaning of Zionism. Instead, they prefer to define Zionism as “an evil
system which aims to destroy the world order” and erroneously believe that Zionism
is the source of all evil in the world. Moreover, many Muslims are under the illusion
that anti-Israelism is a part of devotion to God.
Muslims should know that advocating for the rights of the Palestinian people
does not necessarily mean adopting an anti-Semitic ideology. Israel’s right to exist,
as with any other country in the world, is beyond dispute. Moreover, the recognition
of Israel's right to exist would surely stop the bloodshed that has been ongoing for
centuries. Jewish or not, murdering innocent people or promoting the expulsion of
people from their ancestral homeland just because they are Jews is not in line with
the ethics of the Qur’an.
Just as we find in international law, Islam also has a principle of “individual
criminal responsibility”. An entire community can never be found guilty as a whole.
Every society has its good and evil people. Incriminating or punishing them all
without differentiating between the innocent and the guilty is entirely unacceptable.
God explicitly grants the Jewish people the right to live in the Holy Land:
Remember when Moses said to his people, "My people! Remember God’s blessing to
you when He appointed prophets among you and appointed kings for you, and gave
you what He had not given to anyone else in all the worlds. My people! Enter the
Holy Land which God has ordained for you. Do not turn back in your tracks and so
become transformed into losers." (Qur'an, 5:20-21)
God also informs us in the Qur'an – and this is also promised in the Torah
(Deuteronomy 30) – that the scattered Jewish people shall gather during the End
Times: ...We said to the tribe of Israel after that, "Inhabit the land and, when the
promise of the hereafter comes, We will produce you as a motley crowd." (Qur'an,
17:104) It is highly significant to see a promise made by God 3,000 years ago
coming true and witnessing what was foretold by the Prophet Abraham and the
Prophet Moses, God revealed that “The Jews will be in those lands” thousands of
years ago, and we can see that miracle coming to fruition now.
If the Arab-Muslim world recognizes Israel's right to exist as an independent and
sovereign state, this century-long bloodshed will surely cease. The greatest benefit
here would certainly come to the Palestinian people, who have been greatly
distressed due to war and security precautions.
It is of critical importance to note once again that there is currently a profound
misconception in the Islamic world with regards to Zionism and this biased point of
view has turned into a misplaced fear of Jewish people over time. Many Muslims are
ignorant of the fact that by objecting to the Jews’ right to exist, they are in fact
rebelling against the verses of the Qur'an. Explaining Zionism in an accurate way
and ending this cycle of hatred against a people who, like Muslims, are also
believers in the One True God, is incumbent upon true Muslims.
