They are shamefully mistreated by Jews and by their Muslim neighbours. If the Kairos lot, the Church of England Synod and Sarah Mullally who was recently appointed Archbishop of Canterbury stopped there, they would be on solid, biblical ground.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Israeli occupation\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>But they don\u2019t. This Kairos are calling for an end to what they claim is \u2018Israeli occupation\u2019 of the Holy Land. That\u2019s right, they seriously want the Jewish people to be evicted from Israel.<\/p>\n<p>They even <a title=\"Opens in a new tab or window \u00a3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/2026\/07\/18\/british-jews-complicit-israel-crimes-palestinian-christians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>accuse British Jews<\/b><\/a> of being \u2018complicit\u2019 in what they describe as \u2018the suffering of Gaza\u2019s children\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s have some history. Around three thousand, four hundred years ago, after Israel\u2019s conquest of Canaan, which the Bible also says was a judgment on its pagan inhabitants, Joshua recalled the promises God made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.<\/p>\n<p>We read in Joshua chapter twenty-one:<br \/>\n<b>Josh 21:43 And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Josh 21:45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There are dozens more supporting references in scripture. The land is a sacred inheritance. It\u2019s called the \u2018Promised Land\u2019 for a reason. You would need massive biblical illiteracy, or rabid antisemitism, not to spot that.<\/p>\n<p>The Arabs, whom the godless left call \u2018Palestinians\u2019, are recent settlers with no divine approval. They, in fact, are the \u2018occupiers\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Even the seventh century Muslim Koran in Surah 5.21 records Moses telling the Jews to \u2018Enter the holy land which Allah hath assigned unto you\u2019.<\/p>\n<h2>UN accuses Hamas of terrorism against Gazans<\/h2>\n<p>Kairos is a Greek word meaning \u2018the right, critical, or opportune moment\u2019. But as it happens the Kairos paper and CofE Synod sympathy for it has come at the worst possible moment for them.<\/p>\n<p>In the same week, the United Nations, usually so anti-Israel, <a title=\"Opens in a new tab or window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/un-official-says-hamas-obstructing-gaza-aid-dangerous-pattern-of-intimidation-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>accused Hamas of terrorising Gazans<\/b><\/a> at the UN\u2019s food centres. Terrorists maintain control in a \u2018dangerous pattern of intimidation, violence and obstruction\u2019, the UN say.<\/p>\n<p>It seems Hamas also hijack aid shipments to smuggle high-value goods as well as weapons into the enclave. Its leaders have taken billions in aid money, and spent it on weapons and enriching themselves. It\u2019s Hamas who are imposing suffering on Gaza\u2019s children, not the Israel Defence Force.<\/p>\n<h2>Liars are heading to the lake of fire<\/h2>\n<p>You know, accepting and honouring the Bible is foundational for any Christian. So is telling the truth. They can claim to be Christian till they are blue in the face, but we read in Revelation:<\/p>\n<p><b>Rev 21:8b &#8230; all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Pray for Israel and pray for the Church of England to seek the Lord and repent.<\/p>\n<p>SCRIPT ENDS<\/p>\n<h2>Bible Reading Plan<\/h2>\n<p>In the link below you&#8217;ll find a Bible reading plan to help you read through the Bible in one year in a smart and structured way.
