There is much to be learned from Hitler about how our spiritual Enemy works. Hitler said, “The art of propaganda lies in understanding the emotional ideas of the great masses and finding, through a psychologically correct form, the way to the attention and thence to the heart of the broad masses.”  Manipulating emotions in what Hitler called psychologically correct form has been used by our Enemy since he approached Eve in the Garden.

Today, Hitler’s advice permeates America’s cultural wars. For instance, according to the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), the so-called Palestinian issue is at once an indigenous peoples’ issue, a feminist issue, a queer issue, a reproductive issue, and an issue of the Black cause against colonization, enslavement and injustice.  Combined, these are emotional ideas and beliefs affecting great masses in America.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

USCPR has been successful with its campaign, boasting support from several Christian-affiliated denominations, including the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the World Communion of Reformed Churches, the majorities of the Mennonite Church, the United Church of Christ, and several United Methodist Church Conferences. Recently the Black Church PAC and  African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church joined the chorus of those demanding America immediately end our financial support to Israel, calling for Israel’s immediate and complete cease-fire.

These American bishops, pastors, and denominational leaders accuse Israel of mass genocide as it wars to protect itself. They inexplicably conclude that Hamas’ wickedness is a just or understandable response to Israel’s apartheid culture. There is little truth to these assertions, as many honest citizens, both Arab and Jewish have attested. Moreover, Israel, America, and other nations provide handsomely for those occupying the area called Gaza. Since 2007, PLO and Hamas leaders have, and still receive, billions of dollars in economic, development, and humanitarian aid from the United States and Israel, while they have continually carried out terrorist missions against Israeli citizens.

The leaders of these churches are demanding Israel’s cease-fire because they believe that Palestinian-rights and struggles are the same struggles as Negros in America.  The USCPR’s ability to convince these religious leaders and their members of this false analogy began decades ago. A cadre of communist foot soldiers like Saul David Alinsky and his peers infiltrated churches in America, which was exposed by Manning Johnson in his pamphlet Color, Communism and Common Sense.

The Hamas cause, struggles, methods and wealth are not in any way synonymous to Negros/Blacks/African-Americans/Americans’ during American enslavement, nor the post-Civil War horrors from which the Civil Rights Movement of the 50s and 60s were birthed.

Israel is not an Apartheid State or Jim Crow society.  Islamic terrorism and ‘from the earth to the sea’ are not the Civil Rights Movement.

Notwithstanding the obvious ways that Jamal Bryant’s, Black Church PAC, Rev. Melech Thomas’s, Payne Memorial AME (Baltimore) and their peers’ arguments are historically inaccurate, having these self-identified Black/African-American and Christian leaders serve as mouthpieces for groups aligned with Islam, the doctrine and ideology causing mass genocide and torture of Christians across the African Continent seems hypocritical.

Awakened believers need to speak up and out against the propaganda and lies.

Too many truths have been left unsaid by GOD-fearing, Bible-believing Christians in American. Evil propaganda has filled the vacuum.

Defeating lies requires speaking the truth aloud, because as Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned, “Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.”  We are armed with the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We are empowered to speak the truth when confronted with the lies and carry the power of life on our tongues.  These are truths for us to consider.

• Hamas, ISIS, Houthis, Hezbollah and their proxy groups’ terroristic demands are not moral or physical equivalents of the demands to end chattel-slavery, Jim Crow Era Laws, and societal inequality toward African-slaves and their American and West Indian descendants.
• With few radical exceptions, the kidnapped victims and offspring of America’s slave history only wanted to be treated as humans, with equal rights and access under just laws. They did not plan to commit national genocide.
• Islamic jihad, kidnapping, raping, torture and murder of a nation’s citizens are not moral or physical equivalents of peaceful and non-violent marches, lunch counter sit-ins, and bus boycotts.
• The genocidal cleansing of America’s indigenous people that helped inspire Hitler’s campaign to eradicate Jews also mirrors Ottoman Empire invasions and Islamic-terrorism.
• The demands from pedophile and ritual abuse groups who are grooming children for child marriage & rape, trafficking, abortion mills, and torture under the label of queer and religious rights are not the moral, social, or physical equivalent of those who demanded equal access to high-quality employment, education, housing, and medical care for their children during the Civil Rights Movement.
• ‘From the river to the sea’ sentiments to displace Jewish people are not the same as people wanting and deserving to be valued and treated as humans, equal in the sight of GOD, and deserving of becoming all of we are created to be.
• GOD loves all people, no matter what we call ourselves. GOD will also judge all people according to according to what they have sown.
