War Started Because of Hate for Israel ...And Will End by Embracing the Goodness of Israel

War did not begin with weapons.It began with words.With lies whispered across generations, reshaping hearts to hate what God Himself has chosen to love.

For centuries, the name Israel has carried a weight far beyond geography. It has stirred nations, divided families, and provoked rage in hearts that never paused to ask why. The truth is simple yet piercing, war began because humanity resisted the heart of God.

The Root of the Conflict: A War of Perception

Long before missiles flew, a war of perception was waged.Israel was painted as the oppressor, the occupier, the cause of all Middle Eastern unrest. But those narratives, carefully crafted and politically charged, have concealed something profound—the goodness of Israel, and the covenantal purpose God set in motion through her.

To hate Israel is to resist the very story of redemption that runs through Scripture. Israel is not perfect, yet she carries a calling no nation can erase: to be a light to the nations, a living witness that God keeps His promises.

What the World Fears, God Calls Holy

The world has always feared what it cannot control. Israel’s survival, brilliance, and moral resilience defy logic. Surrounded by hostility, yet flourishing in innovation, medicine, and humanitarian outreach, Israel reflects divine preservation.And it is precisely this goodness—this reflection of divine favor, that provokes spiritual resistance.

But the truth is rising. Hearts are changing. Across the Arab world, young men and women are beginning to ask questions. They are reading Scripture for themselves. They are seeing the hand of God upon Israel and realizing that the story they were told is not the story God is writing.

The Tragedy and the Turning

With all the damage, rivalry, and devastation that war brings—the sadness that grips the heart, the innocent people who were killed, the bloodshed of children, the loss of brave IDF soldiers, and the kidnapping of beautiful Jewish souls, children, men, and women alike—war remains ugly and unspeakably painful.The innocent souls of Gaza, too, have suffered deeply.War destroys much, but it also reveals much.

What I’m thankful for, even amid the devastation caused by Hamas’s attack, is that truth and light have begun to pierce the darkness. The Hezbollah threat has weakened, the IRGC’s influence has been confronted, and the nuclear ambitions that once threatened the world are being restrained. Israel now knows who her friends are—and who are not.

And in the ashes, something beautiful has emerged: a growing Christian community that stands with Israel, prays for her, and supports her. Because at the end of the day, we worship the same God, the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—and we share the same values, faith, and moral standard.

The End of War Will Begin with Truth

Peace will not come from treaties alone; it will come from truth. The day hearts embrace the goodness of Israel, the deception will lose its power. Because when you see Israel not as a threat, but as a testimony of God’s faithfulness, hatred melts, and history begins to heal.

I have walked that road myself, from hostility to honor, from suspicion to love. As a Saudi-born woman raised in the narratives of division, my encounter with the God of Israel changed everything. I found that peace is not political, it’s personal.

Embracing the Goodness of Israel Is the Beginning of Peace

The end of war will come when the nations stop cursing what God has blessed.When the sons of Ishmael and the sons of Isaac learn to weep together, to rebuild together, and to bless one another.

War began in hatred; it will end in love.Because love, real, redemptive love, has always been the divine weapon that disarms the darkness.

May the world come to see what heaven already knows:The goodness of Israel is the goodness of God on display.And only by embracing it can we truly find peace.
