If it\u2019s the latter (and every evangelical reading this column KNOWS it is), then is it slightly possible that you evangelicals have egregiously misinterpreted Genesis 12:3? Of course, you have, but you simply aren\u2019t willing to admit it, because it would force you to reevaluate your entire understanding of eschatology\u2014and the true Biblical teaching of Israel\u2014and you aren\u2019t willing to do that.<\/p>\n<p>But I digress.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, Israel gets a free pass from <b>everybody<\/b>.<b> <\/b>Evangelical Zionists vote in large numbers, so congressional legislators dare not do anything to cross the red line of appeasement to Israel or touch the \u201cthird rail\u201d of criticizing Israel.<\/p>\n<p>In turn, the United States is the Nanny State, not just for American freeloaders, but also for international freeloaders.

The global conversation on the assault on Gaza is shifting towards the annexation of yet another part of historic Palestine by Israel, with countries around the world rushing not to prevent the injustice but to ensure Palestinians made into refugees as a result won\u2019t end up coming their way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Today, the fear of what comes next is looming larger for Palestinians than the cruelty of the world\u2019s apparent indifference to their suffering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">This time, the Nakba is being televised, and it has a stench of finality to it. What is happening in Palestine can no longer be described as genocide or even ethnic cleansing.

Palestine is being deliberately erased from our consciousness and discourse, during war and even in peace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The\u00a0<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #993366;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/opinions\/2021\/5\/18\/the-utter-failure-of-the-abraham-accords\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abraham Accords<\/a>,<\/strong><\/span> the supposed blockbuster deal brokered by the United States to normalise relations between Arab states and Israel, somehow manages to exclude the main aggrieved party: the population of Palestine. One would assume that the plight of the Palestinians, which has supposedly been the single biggest impediment to peace between Arab states and Israel, would have made the Palestinian people a critical \u2013 if not the central \u2013 stakeholder in such a monumental deal. Yet, as far as the Abraham Accords are concerned, the Palestinians are non-existent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">And now, the current genocidal campaign being waged by the occupying state of Israel against Palestinians is being universally \u2013 and erroneously \u2013 described as \u201ca war between Israel and Hamas\u201d. Somehow the Palestinian people, who have been subjected to Israeli occupation and oppression for 75 years before October 7, no longer matter. This sinister public relations move is deeply problematic for two reasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">First, it allows for a simplistic story of good vs evil, where Israel takes on the role of the peace-loving, civilised democracy minding its own business and Hamas the inexplicably evil and barbaric militia group \u2013 decorated with all the anti-Muslim trimmings and tropes imaginable \u2013 that attacks it out of the blue. This despite the fact that according to Human Rights Watch, Amnesty and even numerous Israeli human rights organisations, Israel is in fact an apartheid state and illegal occupier that has implemented the most inhumane open-air incarceration system on earth. Israel may have dozens of political parties, but the oft-repeated claim that it is the only \u201cdemocracy\u201d in the Middle East cannot be taken seriously when its veteran prime minister, who is embattled with corruption charges, can undermine the judiciary and appoint to his government senior officials that openly refer to themselves as\u00a0<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #993366;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/opinions\/2022\/12\/21\/netanyahu-is-the-godfather-of-modern-israeli-fascism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fascists<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Israel entirely sidesteps any awkward questions about the attacks of October 7 being linked to its more than 70 years of occupying the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The simple truth is that the word \u201cPalestine\u201d is deeply damaging to Israel\u2019s image on the international stage. The word \u201cPalestine\u201d carries with it so much universally recognised victimhood and so many stories of oppression, subjugation and genocide that when it is included in the conversation, Israel simply cannot dispute, however desperately it tries to, its crimes. The moral weight of Palestine is so heavy that every time the word is uttered, you can hear the deflating hiss from Israel\u2019s PR bubble. No amount of beach resorts and tech unicorns can wipe the permanent stain of Palestinian blood off Israel\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Which is why the only way to get rid of the heavy moral burden of Palestine, Israel seems to think, is to literally get rid of \u201cPalestine\u201d altogether, and that includes totally erasing it from the map. And yet, it is Israel that stands in front of the United Nations, year after year, pleading to be protected from the \u201cbarbarian\u201d nations that supposedly wish to erase it from the map. The irony may be hysterical, but the hypocrisy is real.<\/p>\n<p>Suleiman\u2019s analysis could not be more accurate.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli war against the Palestinians has absolutely\u00a0<span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #993366;\" href=\"https:\/\/libertyfellowshipmt.com\/News\/tabid\/56\/ID\/4445\/Is-The-HamasIsraeli-War-A-Part-Of-Bible-Prophecy.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NOTHING to do with Bible prophecy<\/a><\/strong><\/span> or defending itself against Hamas.
