One of the signs of the Final Redemption is that the nations will march against Jerusalem. The United Nations seems to play a key role in this.

As is well known, Israel receives far more criticism in the UN than any other country. You would almost think that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are killed by Israeli massacres and that Israel should therefore be condemned. Nothing is less true. But in the UN, different countries work together to advance their own interests at the expense of Israel.

Facts

The true facts don't matter that much. The geo-economic and social interests are valued many times over the existence of that small country of Israel. Israel seems to be a thorn in the side of many countries and the destruction of the Jewish state is not considered an impossibility by those countries.

Israel's opponents confuse the true facts of history with lies and distortions. This is currently not only the case with Israel. If countries have an interest in distorting the facts, many will not resist. Doesn't this also happen in the media?

Disaster

As decided at the beginning of this month the United Nations thinks it is a good idea to hold an annual ceremony for the Palestinian Naqba Day. Naqba means "disaster". This is what Israel's opponents call the birth of the Jewish state. The United Nations has decided to declare the anniversary of the Jewish state a disaster

Wasn't it the same United Nations that approved the creation of the Jewish state nearly 75 years ago? Apparently they regret that and Israel is a disaster in their eyes.

Anti-Semitism

Doesn't that bring us to the age-old theme of anti-Semitism, a subject as old as the Jewish people? The Torah teaches us the well-known phenomenon: Esaf soneh l'Yakov - Esau hates Jacob. Therein lies a key to understanding our present time as well.

From Esau sprang the people of the Edomites. Jewish tradition has always identified Rome with Edom. The Roman Empire, and the Roman Catholic Church growing out of it, laid the foundations for the present-day Western world. Jacob (Israel) represents the Jewish people.

So the western world's hatred of Israel can be traced back to Jacob and Esau! But what is the reason for that hatred?

Ethics

Throughout history, we see again and again that when morals are broken down within a society, it always goes hand in hand with anti-Semitism. When norms and values in society disappear, hatred of the Jews grows. Jews have experienced this with many nations through the centuries. Egypt, the Greeks, the Romans, the Crusaders, the Germans… And don't we see the same thing happening in the Western world today?

The common denominator is always the disappearance of ethics or the creation of a new one. The rules of ethics began to disappear. Everything was possible and allowed. Especially when it came to the existence of G-d and sexuality.

Torah

The Torah is the ultimate source of ethics in the world. The rules of this ethic were given to the Jewish people and apply to all nations. The prohibition against killing, stealing, behaving immorally stems from the Torah.

If a people does not want to accept these rules and make their own ethics, then G-d and His people will soon be criticized. G-d is abstract, so He cannot be touched, so the Jew is left to accuse of anything that does not fit within the new thoughts and ideas.

When ethics fall away, lies have free rein. Everything becomes acceptable. From theft to murder and sexual fornication, etc. The Torah has no place here and therefore neither does the Jewish people. Do we see ethics disappearing in America and Europe? At the same time, we see an enormous increase in anti-Semitism.

United Nations

We now seem to see that change in morality in the world and the associated increase in anti-Semitism reflected in the UN. Unhampered by factual knowledge, many people
wonder unashamedly what the Jewish people actually have to do in the land of Israel.

The leading commentator on the Torah, Rashi, asked why the Torah begins with the description of the creation of the world and not with the first commandment? The answer is: The nations will go to the Jewish people and ask them what is their right to the land of Israel. The people will answer that G-d created the world and that He has decided to give the land of Israel to the Jewish people.

These are one of the signs of the end times described in the Talmud.

"Do not be afraid Israel, for I am with you." (Isaiah 41:10)
