After the October 7th, 2023, Massacre when Hamas Terrorists infiltrated and brutally murdered over 1,200 mostly innocent civilians in Israel, I was moved to watch several documentaries and historical movies about World War II and the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews. Empathetically, I was trying to understand what they went through. I listed these movies in my recent article: World Watch: The Increase of Antisemitism and Hate in the Last Days.
One documentary stood out for me. So much so, that I’ve watched it twice. It was “Why the Jews?” by John Curtin. The description reads…
Despite representing just 0.2% of the world’s population, this film looks at the disproportionate accomplishments of Jewish people throughout history.

Some interesting statistics about Jews that was stated in the movie. Considering that Jews incorporate only .2% of the world’s population. Jews make up…
- 21% of Ivy League students. That makes a huge problem for American universities.
- 22% of Nobel Prize winners.
- 33% of Oscar-winning directors.
- 40% of world-class chess champions.
Victims of the Holocaust
May 6th is Holocaust Remembrance Day. We remember the horrors of what the Nazis did to make sure that it never happens again.
A point the documentary opened with was what the world may have missed out on with the killing of over 6 million Jews. Many were among the world’s leading…
- scientists
- artists
- engineers
- doctors
- innovators
Since WWII, have you lost a relative or friend to heart disease or cancer? What about other chronic illnesses? Imagine if one of those who were murdered in a Nazi death camp, or one of their children, could have discovered the cure. When you think about it, we’ve all been affected by the Holocaust.
Here are some famous Jews…
- Albert Einstein
- Sigmund Freud
- Mark Twain
- Jonas Salk — came up with the Polio Vaccine
- Bob Dylan
- Justice Elena Kagan
- Justice Ruth Bader Gingsberg
- Ira & George Gershwin, songwriters
- Levi Strauss — American Jew who invented blue jeans
- Mark Zuckerberg — founder of Facebook
- Segey Brin and Larry Page — founders of Google
Think about this: had Hilter succeeded in his plan to rid the world of Jews, we wouldn’t have Facebook or Google!
Jewish accomplishments are a gift to the world! Imagine what the world would have been like if the 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust had been able to pursue their dreams, and education, and live their lives.

Many Jews tried to immigrate out of Europe to the West when they saw the writing on the wall. The problem was, no one wanted them. Ironically, U.S. President, Franklin D. Roosevelt didn’t want to mess with the U.S. immigration laws and refused to allow Jews to immigrate. Everyone closed their borders.
Pre-war total was about 8,546,000 Jews of which about 6,140,500 were murdered
Now, that’s a genocide!
The following is an excerpt from an official German record of the meeting between Adolf Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, on November 28, 1941, at the Reich Chancellory in Berlin.
- He (the Fuhrer) would carry on the battle to the total destruction of the Judeo-Communist empire in Europe.
- At some moment which was impossible to set exactly today but which in any event was not distant, the German armies would in the course of this struggle reach the southern exit from Caucasia.
- As soon as this had happened, the Fuhrer would on his own give the Arab world the assurance that its hour of liberation had arrived. Germany’s objective would then be solely the destruction of the Jewish element residing in the Arab sphere under the protection of British power. In that hour the Mufti would be the most authoritative spokesman for the Arab world. It would then be his task to set off the Arab operations, which he had secretly prepared.
As you can see above – long before Israel was born in 1948 the plan to kill Jews was there. Secret operations of the Palestinians were prepared. It’s not about Zionism it’s about us as Jews. Hitler wanted to kill us in Europe and as you can read- everywhere else.
So when they tell you it’s about Zionism and the Jews must go back to Europe – remind them that the Palestinian leader in 1941 already admired the one who planned on our genocide there!

Israel
For such a young nation-state (1948), here are some mind-blowing stats…
- It’s the 2nd most important source of innovation in the world.
- There is $5 billion invested in venture-backed startups.
- 350 multi-national corporations have research and development (R&D) centers in Israel.
Satan has been trying to eliminate Jews to prevent the Messiah from coming. Jesus came anyway. Satan thought he had won when Jesus was crucified. Christ defeated sin on the cross but defeated death with the Resurrection.
Satan doesn’t know when Jesus is coming back. He doesn’t know God’s plan. He has had an Antichrist ready in every generation just in case.
Here’s an interesting video that explains this…
The Holocaust didn’t come out of nothing. It came out of 2000 years of hate.
Marvin Tokayer, Rabbi to Japan, 1968-81
“The terrorist attack on October 7 was not a holocaust – not because of the lack of the intention to destroy us, but because of the lack of the ability to destroy us.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu at the main ceremony at Yad Vashem, Israel’s World Holocaust Remembrance Center
As it turns out, the October 7th attack by Hamas was part of a larger terrorist plot involving an Islamic attack on Israel from the north by Hezbollah and Iran’s proxies in Syria, as well as an attack from the south by the Houthis in Yemen. Hamas jumped the gun and attacked by themselves. It could have been way worse.
This video showcases the miracles of October 7th…
Some of Satan’s Work against the Jews is noted in the Bible and History…
- The Fall of Man
- Pharoh’s murdering of Jewish Babies in Egypt
- The Book of Esther
- The Macabbean Revolt
- Herod’s Killing of the Innocents
- Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD
- The Inquisition
- The Crusades
- Nazi Holocaust
- Wars against Israel since its formation in 1948. Amir Tsarfati videos: Part 1 & Part 2
- Islamic Terrorism

Blame Satan. This is Spiritual Warfare! Put on the Whole Armor of God!
Why the Jews?
Antisemitism is more than jealousy. It goes deeper. Remember Jews are not just the nation of Israel, they are a race and a religion.
The Jews represent the best of what humans can be. Others feel they can never live up to that and the Jews need to be removed because they are a constant reminder of their own failures.
A few years ago, I ordered my DNA analyzed through Ancestry and discovered that besides what I expected being Puerto Rican, I have 1% European Jew DNA in me. More than likely it’s Sephardic Jew from Spain.
What’s in the Store for the Jews in the End Times?
God used the Holocaust to bring the Jews back to the Promised Land — Israel. (Ezekiel 37)
With the rise in antisemitism going on right now, I expect there will be many Jews from around the world making Aliyah — returning to Israel. Thus, world events continue to fulfill Bible Prophecy.
Nevertheless, unless they recognize and believe that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah and get Raptured, they’re going to have to face the Great Tribulation or “The Time of Jacob’s Trouble”.
Amir Tsafati of Behold Israel is one of the best teachers around and he explains it nicely in this video…
Anyone who is destined for prison
will be taken to prison.
Anyone destined to die by the sword
will die by the sword.This means that God’s holy people (the Jews) must endure persecution patiently and remain faithful.
Revelation 13:10 NLT
In all history there has never been such a time of terror.
Jeremiah 30:7 NLT
It will be a time of trouble for my people Israel (Jacob).
Yet in the end they will be saved!
He will defy the Most High and oppress the holy people of the Most High. He will try to change their sacred festivals and laws, and they will be placed under his control for a time, times, and half a time.
Daniel 7:25 NLT
8 Two-thirds of the people in the land
Zecheriah 13:8-9 NLT
will be cut off and die,” says the Lord.
“But one-third will be left in the land.
9 I will bring that group through the fire
and make them pure.
I will refine them like silver
and purify them like gold.
They will call on my name,
and I will answer them.
I will say, ‘These are my people,’
and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”
Olivier Melnik, whose family survived the Holocaust, talked with Tom Hughes regarding Antisemitism in American universities…
133,000 Holocaust Survivors are living in Israel today, one of them, 86-year-old Shlomo has been held captive by demonic Hamas-ISIS in Gaza for the past 7 months.
We are screaming out in pain.

God said to Abraham, regarding the Land of Israel…
2 I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. 3 I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.
Genesis 12:2-3 NLT
This is a covenant — a promise — and God keeps His Promises! He has blessed us by sending Jesus to take away our sins and give us eternal life in Heaven!
I’m ending this with a Psalm…
1 I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!3 He will not let you stumble;
the one who watches over you will not slumber.
4 Indeed, he who watches over Israel
never slumbers or sleeps.5 The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
6 The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.7 The Lord keeps you from all harm
Psalm 121 NLT
and watches over your life.
8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.
