The reality is that we are ever the scourge of the world. Kanye West let his hair down last week against the Jews, the ADL (anti-Defamation League) reported this 3 days ago:
"Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has recently used his media presence and social influence to espouse antisemitic tropes about Jewish intimidation, power and control.
On October 6, Ye joined Fox News’ Tucker Carlson after his decision to wear a “White Lives Matter” shirt at Paris Fashion Week garnered heightened media attention. During the interview, some of which was not aired on Fox that evening, Ye made a series of offensive and conspiratorial claims about Jewish people and Jewish identity. Ye claimed that Jews are actually Black people, saying that when he refers to Jews he means “the 12 lost tribes of Judah, the blood of Christ, who the people known as the race Black really are [sic],” and posited that Planned Parenthood was the product of a collaboration between the KKK and Margaret Sanger “to control the Jew [i.e. Black] population.” He also said that it is impossible for him to be fairly described as antisemitic because as a Black person he is actually a Jew.
Ye also told Carlson that he believed Jared Kushner only arranged peace agreements between Arab nations and Israel “to make money.” At another point, Ye stated that he wished his children had learned about Hannukah instead of “a complicated Kwanzaa,” because Hannukah would at least “come with some financial engineering.”
The next day, Ye shared screenshots of text messages on Instagram insinuating that Jews are using their purported control over his peers in the music industry to intimidate him and defiantly said that “no one can threaten or influence me.” The post has since been deleted.
Ye also said that Jewish people “toyed with” him and that they “tried to blackball anyone who opposes” their “agenda.” This tweet, in which Ye ominously referred to going ‘death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,” raising the spectre of violence, was later removed by Twitter."
There is plenty to cry about and to decry. There is much the rest of the world should announce as wrong, but at this point, few non-Jews are joining the multitude of Jewish people who are notifying the goings-ons.
What about the Labor party in Australia who announced on Monday that they would follow up on their campaign promise to reverse the commitment of the Morrison government to stand with Israel and its capital in Jerusalem? A few years ago then leader Bill Shorten made that a significant statement.
Back in 2019, the Times of Israel reported, https://www.timesofisrael.com/as-australia-heads-to-polls-labor-vows-to-reverse-jerusalem-recognition/ and Monday under new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese Labor followed through. As a result there is no official statement currently on the Australian websites indicating a previous commitment to recognize the capital to be in Jerusalem.
Does that change anything? It is often shown that an anti-Israel view links with an anti-Semitic one. That's not always the case, but it is often enough that mention seems appropriate.
The capital of Israel is Jerusalem. When the world will set up there, and when the world's nations will recognize that, this will be significant. Then Zechariah chapter 13 will come into view and we are that much closer to the end of time.
