The Biden Administration abstained from a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire between the Hamas terrorists and Israel. The final vote was 14 in favor, none opposed and one abstention—the Unites States. By abstaining instead of exercising its veto power, the US allowed the resolution to pass. According to reports, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said the resolution did not condemn Hamas for the October 7 terrorist attack. However, she agreed with other parts of the resolution and deferred to Islam, saying “This should be a season of peace…This resolution rightly acknowledges that during the month of Ramadan we must recommit to peace.” This has prophetic ramifications.
By putting the Democratic Party’s long-curried Islamic voting bloc ahead of the national security interests of both Israel and the United States prior to a crucial reelection bid and underscoring it as a token toward Ramadan, Biden departed from wise, longstanding policy. He also quite possibly could have sealed a dire fate for the United States and its citizens. Hamas is an Islamic terrorist organization. It ruthlessly murdered men, women and children in the most barbaric and inhuman acts. Its mission is not just to establish a Palestinian state, but most fervently, is to rid the earth of the Jewish people and the state of Israel. It also sees the United States as a sworn enemy and would do the same to any US citizen.
Moreover, it has the support of the Arab people living in Gaza, who aid and abed these terrorists, even though they deny their own people food, medical supplies and other humanitarian resources. The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) conducted another poll in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip March 5-10. The PSR reported: “When asked about their own preference, Gazans’ support for continued Hamas control over the Gaza Strip has increased to more than 50%, a 14-point rise. Indeed, given the magnitude of the suffering in the Gaza Strip, this seems to be the most counter intuitive finding of the entire poll. Nonetheless, it is consistent with the increase in the percentage of Gazans who think Hamas will win the current war.”
There is no moral equivalency between Israel’s right to exist, the Jewish people’s right to self-preservation and self-defense, and the horrid mission of Hamas and other Islamic organizations that support them. During Ramadan, when America’s misguided Democratic Party-led Administration believes it’s time for Islamic peace, Hamas has called for more terrorism. Herein, we see that Gaza residents still support Hamas in its efforts to eradicate Israel. Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the wicked bear rule, the people mourn.” Both those in Gaza and those in America have cause to mourn. Most don’t even know why. Even more there is dire cause to repent as the LORD says in Zechariah 12:9, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” Let us repent and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
