The spirit of Esau-Edom continues to manifest in the mouths of those who serve its dominion. Hasan Piker, a figurehead within the contemporary media landscape, recently stated that Israel has no right to exist in its present form, brazenly comparing the nation to Nazi Germany and apartheid South Africa. This is not a novel assertion, but a regurgitation of the ancient lies leveled against Yisrael since the days of Balaam.

Piker’s words are a symptom of a deeper rot – the rejection of Yahuah’s covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The modern state of Israel, though imperfect and often straying from the path of righteousness, occupies land promised to the covenant people. To deny its right to exist is to deny Yahuah’s word and to align oneself with the forces of darkness that have perpetually sought to dismantle Yisrael’s inheritance.

It is crucial to understand the distinction. Piker’s pronouncements are not a call for justice for scattered Yisrael, the exiled tribes yearning for restoration. They are an attack on the very notion of a divinely appointed land and a people chosen for a specific purpose. This is the language of those who would see all of Yahuah’s promises nullified and replaced with the dominion of man.

The comparison to Nazi Germany and apartheid is particularly egregious. These were systems built on racial supremacy and the brutal oppression of entire peoples. While the Israeli government has undoubtedly committed injustices – and the Shofar Wire does not shy from reporting them – to equate it with these horrors is a deliberate distortion of truth, designed to incite hatred and delegitimize the nation’s existence.

This declaration should serve as a wake-up call to the remnant of Yisrael. The nations are not awakening to a newfound sense of justice; they are revealing the depth of their animosity. We must not be deceived by their rhetoric or lulled into complacency. The time is now to prepare spiritually, to understand the signs of the times, and to stand firm on the covenant Yahuah made with our ancestors. Yahuah will judge those who seek to destroy His people and His land, but we must also be vigilant and discern the spirit behind these pronouncements – the spirit of Edom, ever seeking to usurp Yisrael’s birthright.
