In a pre-recorded video shown at the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Minister’s Conference in Jerusalem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed that there can be no “compromise with antisemitism” and no “coexistence with evil.”

Have you taken your place on the wall?

 

The Daily Wire has the story:

“Golda Meir once said, ‘It took Moses 40 years to find the only place in the Middle East with no oil,’” Rubio began. “But Israel‘s wealth lay not under the ground, but in its people; the Jewish people: exiles, pilgrims and dreamers from around the world who made the desert bloom into a high-tech superpower.” …

Rubio turned to history: “Antisemitism is the world’s oldest bigotry, and given that we are all here today, it is also the world’s most futile. Egyptian pharaohs, Roman emperors. Persian shahs and Middle Eastern despots have sought to destroy the nation of Israel. Adolf Hitler dreamed of a world without Jews; an idea he shares with Hamas. Today, these regimes and empires have crumbled into dust, but Israel stands, and the Jewish people prosper.”

In addition to criticizing antisemitism throughout history, Secretary Rubio highlighted the most recent act of antisemitism on American soil. He discussed Yaron Lischinski and Sarah Milgrim, a young couple that worked at the Israeli Embassy. Secretary Rubio noted that these two were gunned down outside the Capital Jewish Museum by a rapid pro-Palestine activist who thought they were Jews.

Afterward, the Secretary spoke strongly against antisemitism:

“There can be no compromise with antisemitism,” he said bluntly. “There can be no nuanced separation of hatred of Israel and hatred of the Jewish people. Those who called to boycott Israel are calling for the boycott of their Jewish neighbors and classmates. Those who call for violence against Israelis are calling for violence against Jews. Those who call for the destruction of Israel are calling for the destruction of the Jewish people. That is why as we extend our prayers to Yaron and Sarah‘s loved ones we must stand in solidarity with Israel. There can be no coexistence with evil. There can be no nuance to hatred.”

“Under President Trump the United States will stand with the Jewish people,” he declared. “We have implemented a vigorous new visa policy that will prevent foreign nationals from coming to the United States to foment hatred against our Jewish community. We are holding international organizations and nations accountable for rhetoric against Israel that resurfaces in the manifesto of monsters like Yaron and Sarah‘s killer.”

Although some have spread rumors, the Trump administration is remaining strong in its support of Israel and the Jewish people. Secretary Rubio’s claims are evidence of this. You can watch the full video he recorded below:

The Jewish people, both in Israel and around the world, are under attack. Let’s pray for them, as well as for more leaders to speak boldly like Secretary Rubio in support of God’s people!

I thought Sec. Of State Rubio’s speech was on the mark. His historical references were accurate. This spiritual war must have the warriors to stand in the Lord against evil as well as make their voices heard and their accomplishments in the Lord known.

God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, make the words of U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio come True. Move your Rohuah Kodesh to protect Israel and the IDF in their defense against 7 nations, including HAMAS, Good cannot live with Evil. We pray until it comes to pass. May Your Mighty hand have a say so on this matter. The Jews are your People, Your Chosen Ones. Yeshua lived as a Jew from the line of King David, (another Jew)! He/she who hates Israel, Hates Adonai and Hates the Jews! May such futility end. May there be Peace in Yerushalayim! In Yeshua’s name, His Blood, and the Power of the Rohuah Kodesh I pray unto You El-Lohim, Amen!!!

I don’t understand how we can be so “pro-Israel”, when it is illegal in Israel to profess belief in Jesus, and do what scripture says Christians are to do. This country was founded on Christian values. Israel finds Christianity and Followers of Jesus to be anathema to them.

    It is not illegal to be a messianic Jew in Israel, there are thousands of Jews who believe in Jesus. Furthermore, throughout the entire Bible God clearly expresses His desire to restore Jewish people physically, financially, and spiritually in the Land of Israel. Genesis 12.1-3,Ezekiel 36-38. Jeremiah 30-33, Amos 9.11-15…. many other prophesies. America’s destiny is directly tied to co-operating with God’s intent to restore Israel. If our Politicians betray Israel through fear of Islam, God will rightly bring us low.

    Because they are God’s chosen people and we are told in scripture to pray for their peace. Psalm 122:6. Not to mention that they will come to know their Messiah. Everything centers around Israel…

Thank you for Secretary of State Rubio and his strong vocal support for Israel. I am thankful for all vocal support for Israel from our government leaders, YHVH. Since what we say means nothing if our actions do not follow, please grant wisdom and direction to our leadership to make policies that reflect that commitment.

1Jn 3:18  Children, let us love not with words and talk, but with actions and in reality!

Yes I believe that it is a real problem nowadays the evil. And I believe many Jews are in hiding because it’s so real. I pray for them that kind of hate is inexcusable and has to be dealt with. Unfortunately all of millennia has taught that it will not be peaceful to deal with hate like that it’s life threatening.

Praise God for a leader to stand strong for Israel . May we all pray for Israel and love one another as Christ has called us. When we love with the love Jesus has put in our hearts it is a blessing to all. Our hearts should ache for those who don’t understand the importance of Israel. Lord we pray you would open blind eyes to see and turn away from hatred of your people. Lord , we ask you to bless those that have a platform to use their voice to break down strongholds and encourage others to pray and stand strong for Israel. Let god arise and his enemies be scattered.” in Jesus Name.

Marco is absolutely correct. Some things I know,
1. You don’t bargain with the devil
2. You don’t aid the enemy

Marco is led by the Lord and shows Godly wisdom. We continue to love all people and hate the sin. War has no winners! Marco and our Administration understands this. I will continue to pray God’s will for our Jewish friends and all of Israel. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

100% accurate. Thank you Marco Rubio for standing up and speaking out ! We will be steadfast in praying for Heavenly wisdom for all leaders. Thank you, Lord that you are the only one that impart this wisdom. We also pray that you put a hedge of protection around each one so that your purposes may be carried out in your good time. Blessed is he whose help is in the God of Jacob. And blessed is he whose hope is in the Lord their God.

“..there were only some 23 Messianic Jews in Israel when the state was re-established on 15th May 1948…..in a recent study:
280 fellowships/churches in Israel
15,323 members in 273 churches (They were unable to contact seven groups)
8,125 of the adults are Messianic Jews

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray You will continue to bless and reward Israel, according to Your Mighty Word. You say of Israel, “it is Mine” that “salvation is of the Jews.” In Your Word, we are called the branches but Israel the root and when the fullness of the Gentiles is complete, all Israel will be saved. Lord, bless us who bless Israel and please continue to protect Israel’s sons and daughters in their homeland and around the world. Please continue to be their Iron Dome in this dangerous time and as they are under Your shelter, draw them to Yeshua with profoundly personal experiences. Thank You Lord for Your sacrifice on the Cross. Thank You Holy Spirit, Power and Purpose for all alive in Christ. Thank You Father God for righteous leaders like Marco Rubio. And I pray as elections are held next year, may You raise up more righteous men and women to replace the many unworthy. I praise You Father, Son and Holy Spirit and ask blessings for Israel and all the nations and people who pray for their peace and prosperity. Amen
