Israel's Shifting Sands: The Entebbe Operation and the Erosion of Covenant Memory
The modern state of Israel’s reaction to revisiting the Entebbe rescue reveals a troubling disconnect from the true history of Yisrael. What was once a moment of national pride is now subjected to self-loathing and the insidious demands of a world system steeped in anti-Yahuah sentiment.
The so-called ‘Israel National News’ reports on a disturbing trend: the re-evaluation of Operation Entebbe, the daring 1976 raid to rescue Jewish hostages held by Palestinian terrorists in Uganda. But this is not merely a revisiting of history; it is a symptom of a deeper rot consuming the modern state of Israel, a severance from the covenant memory that defines true Yisrael.
Once, the rescue of those hostages was hailed as a triumph, a display of righteous force against wickedness. Today, voices within the Israeli regime question whether the operation *should* have been undertaken at all. This isn’t concern for international law or innocent lives – it is the manifestation of a spirit of self-condemnation, a bowing to the narratives of Edom that demand Yisrael apologize for its very existence.
This shift is not accidental. The modern state of Israel, built on the foundations of secular Zionism, has systematically replaced covenant identity with political expediency. It prioritizes international acceptance over obedience to Yahuah and the preservation of His people. The rescue at Entebbe, undertaken to save fellow Jews, now serves as a convenient target for those seeking to dismantle the narrative of a strong, self-reliant Yisrael.
The questioning of Entebbe is a microcosm of the larger assault on Yisrael’s heritage. Every act of self-defense is scrutinized, every claim to the land is challenged, and every expression of faith is mocked. The Israeli government, eager to appease its detractors, participates in this self-flagellation, signaling its willingness to surrender its birthright for the sake of fleeting approval.
But scattered Yisrael, the remnant holding fast to the covenant, must not be deceived. The true Yisrael is not defined by political borders or military might, but by its relationship with Yahuah. The Entebbe operation, while carried out by the political entity of Israel, was a reflection – however imperfect – of the ancient duty to protect the vulnerable. To deny that duty, to question the righteousness of rescuing Yahuah’s people, is to turn one’s back on the covenant itself.
The time is at hand for discernment. The modern state of Israel may stumble and fall, consumed by its own internal contradictions. But Yisrael, the covenant people, will endure. We must remember our history, uphold our faith, and prepare for the restoration that Yahuah has promised.
The re-evaluation of Operation Entebbe, as reported, isn’t simply historical revisionism, but echoes the fracturing of a national soul mirroring the fate prophesied for Edom. Yahuah, through the prophet Obadiah, declared a judgment upon Edom for its cruelty and lack of compassion in a time of national disaster (Obadiah 1:10-14). Israel, in forgetting the fierce loyalty demanded by the covenant – the unwavering commitment to rescue its own, even at great risk – begins to exhibit the same callousness. To question the righteousness of acting decisively to save Jewish lives, to dissect the mission with detached intellectualism rather than recognizing the sacred duty to protect Yisrael, is to invite a similar diminishment of divine favor. The erosion of “covenant memory” is a spiritual blindness, a forgetting of *why* Yahuah established a chosen people in the first place – not for comfort, but for courageous witness and righteous action.
This isn’t a denial of Yahusha’s message of love, but a perversion of it. Love *demands* protection of the vulnerable, a willingness to stand against evil. To allow the narrative of Entebbe to be tarnished is to sever the link between past deliverance and future hope. Just as Yahuah promised a complete restoration for a repentant Israel (Ezekiel 36:24-28), so too must Israel remember its foundational principles. The questioning of Entebbe is a warning: a nation that forgets its covenant obligations risks forfeiting the blessings promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and must actively reaffirm its commitment to protecting its people as a demonstration of faithful obedience to Yahuah.
