Erasure of Jewish Peoplehood Fuels Today's Antisemitism, CAM's Alyza Lewin Tells New Jersey Civil Rights Panel
Hey Watchmen,
This headline names something I've been teaching for years: when the world wants to hate the Jewish people, the first move is always to erase who they even are. Deny the peoplehood, deny the ancient claim to the land, deny the covenant itself, and suddenly the hatred doesn't feel like hatred anymore, it feels justified. I've said it before and history bears it out. Whenever something goes wrong in this world, the blame always seems to land on the Jewish people. It's not new, my friends. It's the oldest lie in the book being repackaged for a civil rights panel in New Jersey instead of a pogrom in Europe, but it's the same spirit underneath.
This is why the Fishermen and Hunters pattern in Jeremiah 16 matters so much to me. Yeshua's people were released (fished) back to the land in 1948, and ever since, the Hunters have been doing their work to provoke (hunt) them there through pressure, not welcome. Erasing Jewish identity is a Hunter's tactic. If you can convince a generation that the Jewish people aren't really a people, aren't really tied to that land, aren't really who Torah says they are, you've laid the groundwork for whatever comes next. And Scripture already told us how far the nations will go. Look at Zephaniah 3:19 where the Almighty says He will deal with all who afflict His people. He sees what's happening in that room in New Jersey and every room like it.
So don't be shocked when erasure shows up in polite academic language instead of a torch and pitchfork, it's the same old hatred wearing a new suit. Keep your eyes open, keep testing what you hear against the Word, and stand with the Jewish people not because it's popular but because Elohim's promises and covenants don't expire. Stay watching, stay ready, the hour is later than it looks.
