Practical Ways to Fight Anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitic incidents have dramatically increased since Hamas violently attacked Israel on October 7. In this episode of A Jew and A Gentile Discuss, Carly and Ezra talk about some ways to combat anti-Semitism that you may not immediately think of. They discuss the origins of anti-Semitism and how, at its root, lies a spiritual matter. They also discuss:

• Anti-Semitism isn’t new. Anti-Semitic spirits revealed in the Bible from Pharaoh to Haman and all the way to today’s terror group, Hamas
• Who the biblical kingdom of Persia is today
• What we can do about anti-Semitism
• How to explain your faith and desire for your Jewish friend to know Jesus

Along the Way

Along the way, they’ll also discuss things like:

• The Holocaust started as an idea that turned into propaganda
• The organized Church’s persecution of Jewish people throughout history – whether or not those people were truly followers of Jesus – has left the Jewish people with a lot to overcome about Jesus
• The fear of “Jewish fragility”
• Where “blessing Israel” and “Christian Zionism” often fall short
• Understanding that talking to Jewish people about Jesus is not anti-Semitic
• Being careful of your language when sharing the Gospel with Jewish people. They’re not converting to another religion; they’re following the Jewish Messiah sent to the house of Israel as promised by the Hebrew Scriptures
• The importance of learning to recognize subtle forms of Replacement Theology. Jewish people do not have a separate way to God apart from faith in Yeshua (Jesus)
