‘Will the woke crowd start banning Star of David from their ‘coexist’ bumper stickers?’

Christian evangelist Hal Lindsey is going on the attack against rampant anti-Semitism, comparing what’s happening to Jewish people worldwide as something “as evil as the seven deadly sins.”
“People are using Israel’s war with Hamas as an excuse to hate Jews, something common in humans and as evil as the seven deadly sins,” writes Lindsey, author of “The Late, Great Planet Earth,” the best-selling nonfiction book of the 1970s that sold an estimated 35 million copies by 1999.
The Encyclopedia Britannica notes the seven deadly sins, in Roman Catholic theology, are “the seven vices that spur other sins and further immoral behaviour. First enumerated by Pope Gregory I (the Great) in the 6th century and elaborated in the 13th century by St. Thomas Aquinas, they are (1) vainglory, or pride, (2) greed, or covetousness, (3) lust, or inordinate or illicit sexual desire, (4) envy, (5) gluttony, which is usually understood to include drunkenness, (6) wrath, or anger, and (7) sloth.”
“The world finds excuses to hate Jews,” he wrote in a new commentary published Sunday. “People across the globe are blaming individual Jews for Israel’s war on Hamas.
“Even Jews who do not support the invasion of Gaza are being blamed for it. On U.S. college campuses, Jewish students are threatened, harassed, and no longer feel safe. Hate crime against Muslims is on the rise, but it’s even worse for Jews. The Bible says that this tendency toward Jew-hatred would get worse in the end times. And we’re seeing it right now.”
