Nuggets from "Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations" by Dave Hunt

Anti-Semitism is not confined to Muslims and Catholics. It is worldwide. The fact that vicious anti-Semitism would pursue the Jewish people everywhere throughout history is only one—but a very important one—of the many prophecies being fulfilled today concerning Israel that God points to as proof that He is the one true God, that the Bible is His Word, and that the Jews are His chosen people. A pair of researchers (not evangelical Christians by any means), who have probably done more than anyone else to document modern anti-Semitism, write in their must-read book:

"For more than twenty centuries, the Jewish people, more than any other segment of humanity, have been persecuted, uprooted, and annihilated. It is true that many ethnic and religious groups have suffered grievously at the hands of tyrants, but there is a crucial difference. More Africans were killed in the era of slavery, but there was no determined intent to eradicate the entire Negro race. A higher percentage of Armenians perished in the Turkish genocide before World War I, but the main intent was to deport them, not extinguish their genetic pool. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Suharto murdered millions of their own citizens, but the motive for those crimes was political power, not racial animus.

"In each of these cases, the genocide was intended to serve a deeper purpose—the conquest of territory, the acquisition of wealth, the enlargement of political power.... In contrast, the genocide of the Jewish people was not intended to be a means to an end. It was not attempted in order to achieve a more fundamental purpose. It WAS the fundamental purpose. This is what makes the Nazi Holocaust unique in human history." (John Loftus and Mark Aarons, "The Secret War Against the Jews: How Western Espionage Betrayed the Jewish People" [New York: Little, Brown and Company, 1933], 105)
