LOOK:

Just as God continues to protect His chosen people, we need to align with Him and do our part to come against anti-Semitism and stand with our Jewish neighbors. As a point of interest, in 2003:

The Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution “On Anti-Semitism” stating in part:

“RESOLVED, That the messengers to the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Phoenix, Arizona, June 17–18, 2003, denounce all forms of anti-Semitism as contrary to the teachings of our Messiah and an assault on the revelation of Holy Scripture; and be it further

“RESOLVED, That we affirm to Jewish people around the world that we stand with them against any harassment that violates our historic commitments to religious liberty and human dignity; and be it finally

“RESOLVED, That we call on governmental and religious leaders across the world to stand against all forms of bigotry, hatred, or persecution.”
