Australian MP Testifies Anti-Semitic Abuse Surged After Oct. 7 Hamas Attack

Labor MP Josh Burns told Australia's Royal Commission into Antisemitism that anti-Semitic abuse against him and Jewish constituents skyrocketed following the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, with Jewish schoolgirls being screamed at in the street and his office vandalised. This surge in global anti-Semitism mirrors the biblical pattern of mounting persecution against the Jewish people in the lead-up to the end times, a sign Jesus and the prophets identified as intensifying before His return. Jesus warned that hatred and persecution would escalate in the last days, and the book of Zechariah foretells a time when all nations turn against Israel and her people before God's final intervention.
