Was Nathan antisemitic for confronting King David? Was Elijah antisemitic for denouncing King Ahab? Was John the Baptist antisemitic for rebuking Herod Antipas? Of course not. Calling Israel’s rulers to account is one of the oldest prophetic traditions in Scripture. So why shouldn’t a follower of Jesus, himself a Jew who stood in that same prophetic tradition, speak against injustice wherever it is found? Including when it is committed by the government of Israel? Criticising a Netanyahu’s actions is not the same as harbouring prejudice against the Jewish people.
