UK Rabbi Warns Anti-Zionism Forces Jews Through 'Purity Tests' as Antisemitism Grows

UK Rabbi Yoni Birnbaum warns that antisemitism is being normalized through anti-Zionism, forcing Diaspora Jews to renounce support for Israel to gain social acceptance. The rising tide of hatred against the Jewish people aligns with biblical warnings that the nations would turn against Israel in the last days, creating conditions that historically drive Jewish return to their homeland. This echoes Zechariah 12:3, where God declares He will make Jerusalem a burden to all nations, and Deuteronomy 28's warnings of persecution in the lands of dispersion.
