The antisemites are crying out for help. They are lost.

"They hate Zionism, because they do not want the jews to be able to repent."

"Zionism for them - is a threat to the vision that we are forever sinners!"

It seems that to even begin to understand the surge of antisemitism in America, one must first become a student of Christianity. That’s no simple task for a Jew - or perhaps it's simpler than it seems, considering Christians believe in a Jew as their Messiah.

The first thing one understands is that these antisemites are crying out for help. They are spiritually lost. Today, we have "pastors" like Dale Partridge, loud voices, empty of substance. And it doesn’t matter whether Jews succeed or fail, whether we have power or are powerless, whether we live in America or in Israel, everything is filtered through the same lens of envy and hate.

But we, as Jews, must not see ourselves as victims in this. Instead, we ask: Why? How can we improve? What is God trying to teach us through this? Meanwhile, whether they know it consciously or not, our haters understand that their very roots lie within us - the children of Israel. Their own religion tells them this. And yet, they blame that very root for all their suffering.

They lash out at the children of Jacob, but in doing so, they only reveal their own spiritual emptiness. Whether they love us or hate us, they know - without us, they would still be pagans. Their hatred of us is, in fact, a cry for help, a confession that without us, they are lost.

What they fail to see is that the Bible, their Bible, even Jesus himself, calls for forgiveness toward the children of Israel when they sin.

But they choose to fixate on darkness, not light.

They’ve decided that simply being a Jew is a sin.

They think they can turn this world into heaven or hell by their own judgment, ignoring Paul’s warning in the book of Romans: that believers in Jesus should approach the Jewish people with humility. They are critics, not creators.

As Joel Berry taught me, their critical impulse comes from a faith in a crucified Jesus, but they ignore the part where, in their own book, he rises. To me, as a Jew, that may not mean much. But to them, it should mean everything.

For the haters, the crucifixion matters more than the resurrection. They cling to the negative, even after being offered redemption, just so they can blame and focus on the Jews. Who become a living symbol for their hate.

These American antisemites who go viral, who attack every expression of support for Israel, who twist every pro-Israel statement into proof of conspiracy, who single out Jews by name and map out supposed Jewish “control” in industry after industry - there is no doubt:

They are crying for help.

They hate us because without us, they are lost.

They feel far away, but they are too proud to come home.

It's ok. We jews will make it.

America? I can't tell.
