Give Us Barabbas

Three chilling words ring out ever so loudly during this time of year, so hard to comprehend “Give us Barabbas!”

Mob mentality is truly a dangerous element in the world and with those three words the Son of G-d is condemned to death while the thief and murderer walks free.

In the world arena today the tiny nation of Israel is at the mercy of mob mentality as she is continually attacked by blood-thirsty terrorists with no let up in sight.

Embargos, sanctions, legal actions, and a continual onslaught of United Nations condemnations for her actions flood the desks of diplomats, heads of state and legal committees.

I will be the first to admit that the Jewish State has not been perfect with all she has done but no other nation in the world must stand up to the scrutiny that she faces. By the same token we have watched the nations of Russia, China, Iran, Vietnam, Somalia and a host of others violate human rights at will, export terror, and endanger the world with every type of weapon known to man with little if any significant consequences.

The world was not a better place because of the release of Barabbas, however, in the modern world the nation of Israel has done more to bless the world rather than curse it. Don’t be part of the mob mentality.
