Luther And Hitler
Martin Luther, one of history’s great men of faith in Christ, took a wrong turn. The results in human history have been devastating. His achievements are many, and they have endured across time. Sadly, so have his flaws. Martin Luther let an age-old evil rise up within him, and it wound up ruling a significant part of his life and legacy. At one point, it practically destroyed his German homeland. The old evil was an unreasoning hatred for Jews. Luther did not always hold such views. Early in his life, he wrote, “Absurd theologians defend hatred for the Jews.” Later, he grew frustrated at his inability to convince rabbinical leaders of a Christian understanding of the Old Testament. His frustration turned to bitterness and then hatred. Eventually, he would call for the burning of synagogues and Jewish schools, the razing of Jewish homes, the confiscation of their prayer books, and the silencing of rabbis.

When Hamas launched its brutal October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, massacring 1,200 people and taking 263 hostages, it ignited a global firestorm. But, ironically, not against the evil of Hamas. Instead, the evil perpetrated on innocent Israelis oddly fanned the flames of antisemitism and anti-Zionism.
