2024-08-14 Opinion: Listen to the modern-day Jeremiahs denouncing Israel’s war in Gaza Two-and-a-half millennia ago, the prophet Jeremiah berated the people of Israel and the political leadership of the kingdom of Judah.
According to the Hebrew Bible, Jeremiah denounced “faithless Israel” for corruption, societal injustice, brutality and general moral decay. He was called a traitor for appearing to support the Babylonian Empire, the kingdom’s eastern enemy. His preaching earned him beatings, death threats, imprisonment from the religious and political establishment and ultimately exile.
Today, there is evidence of the equally corrosive effect recent hostilities have had on the modern Jewish State’s populace. The Guardian sees a “‘deep moral deterioration’ being normalized in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” Civilians are being slaughtered in Gaza, and in the West Bank, face-to-face killing, vandalism and land and agricultural theft abound. Looking to a prophet like Jeremiah seems appropriate. By his standards, and from this retrospective view, Israelis — especially the government — might have more to fear from the wrath of God than the International Criminal Court. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/opinion-listen-to-the-modern-day-jeremiahs-denouncing-israel-s-war-in-gaza/ar-AA1oOphK?
