Stop Calling Truth Antisemitism: What the Bible Says About False Witness and Genocide
Bible StudySlander, Accusation, and the Ninth Commandment
Accusing truth-tellers of “antisemitism” is more than slander — it is a violation of the Ninth Commandment. Scripture makes it clear: Yahweh does not bless genocidal regimes, nor does He align Himself with thrones of bloodshed. The dividing line is not Jew versus Gentile, but Life versus Death. Only those who enter through Yahushua, the Door, choose life.
Stop Calling Truth Antisemitism: Yahweh Does Not Endorse Genocide
Introduction
This post came to mind after a recent confrontation on social media, where someone accused Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson of being antisemitic. I wrote a quick reply on Instagram, and as soon as I hit “post,” I knew I needed to sit down and expand it here.
My first reaction to these kinds of accusations is often, “What is wrong with people?” But then I have to remind myself: we live in a time where many refuse to know the true character of Yahweh. Instead, they listen to ill-informed preachers that Yahweh never sent.
This is why people will call you “sad” or “hateful” if you refuse to accept the twisted idea that Yahweh is a homicidal, genocidal, tyrant. Does Israel have legit issues? Obviously. But the word is clear: genocidal murder isn’t the solution.
And all I can do in those moments is shake my head and ask, “Where in the world did you learn that Yahweh is a murderer?”
It is this exact distortion of Yahweh’s nature that drove me to begin a series here on the blog about who Yahweh truly is. If you have not read it yet, you can find that series [here] (link).
We live in a time when words are twisted into hurtful weapons. When those who say they align with the Bible and Yahushua’s teachings uphold murderers as good, they use the Scriptures to spew hate, aligning themselves with Satan—the accuser.
Those who oppose wickedness are accused of hatred. Those who expose corruption are labeled as dangerous. Today, one of the most abused accusations is the word “antisemitism.” The label is hurled at anyone who dares to confront the sins of modern regimes or question the shedding of innocent blood.
But let me be clear: calling truth “hate” does not make it hate. Calling evil “good” does not make it good.
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20, TS2009).
When someone speaks against genocide, oppression, or a lawless government, and is then accused of being antisemitic, the accuser is guilty of breaking the Ninth Commandment: “You do not bear false witness against your neighbour”(Exodus 20:16, TS2009).
To bear false witness is to lie. It is to accuse the innocent and twist truth into falsehood. Yahweh does not stand with lies. He is Truth, and His people are called to walk in Truth with Him.
The Weight of the Ninth Commandment
The Ninth Commandment is not a suggestion. It is a direct command from Yahweh, repeated in both Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20. To slander someone by attaching a false label—such as calling them antisemitic when they are proclaiming Yahweh’s Word—is a direct violation of His Law.
“A false witness does not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies does not escape” (Proverbs 19:5, TS2009).
To speak lies in Yahweh’s name is even more dangerous, for it not only slanders men—it slanders and misrepresents the very character of the Most High.
James Tissot (Nantes, France, 1836–1902, Chenecey–Buillon, France). The False Witnesses (Les faux témoins), 1886–1894
The Hypocrisy of False Accusation
Yahushua Himself confronted those who condemned others while blind to their own guilt:
“And why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the plank in your own eye? … Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you shall see clearly to remove the splinter out of your brother’s eye” (Matthew 7:3–5, TS2009).
To accuse others of hatred while defending bloodshed is the height of hypocrisy.
James, the brother of Yahushua, warned us about the destructive power of the tongue.
“So too the tongue is a little member, yet boasts greatly. See how a little fire kindles a great forest! And the tongue is a fire, the world of unrighteousness… it defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the wheel of life” (James 3:5–6, TS2009).
Slander and false accusations are exactly this kind of fire. What begins as a careless word quickly burns through families, congregations, and nations.
“But no man is able to tame the tongue. It is unruly, evil, filled with deadly poison” (James 3:8, TS2009).
When people weaponize their words to accuse the righteous, they reveal that their tongues are not submitted to Yahweh but are set ablaze by Gehenna itself.
Yahweh Does Not Bless Genocidal Regimes
Scripture makes it clear that Yahweh does not align Himself with wicked thrones:
“Behold, the eyes of the Master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 are on the sinful reign, and I shall destroy it from the face of the earth” (Amos 9:8, TS2009).
He is not bound to protect a people or a government that embraces death and refuses His covenant:
“Shall a throne of destruction, which devises trouble by law, be joined to You? They band together against the life of the righteous, and declare innocent blood guilty” (Psalm 94:20–21, TS2009).
Yahweh never joins Himself to murderers, no matter what they claim about their heritage or their rights to the land.
Jerusalem Trampled Until Yahushua Returns
Yahushua Himself prophesied that the land would be trampled by the nations until the appointed time:
“And Yerushalayim shall be trampled underfoot by the nations until the times of the nations are filled” (Luke 21:24, TS2009).
Revelation confirms this reality: “They shall trample the set-apart city under foot for forty-two months” (Revelation 11:2, TS2009).
The trampling of the land by pagan nations is not a mark of blessing but a sign of judgment. It will remain this way until Yahushua Himself restores His Kingdom in righteousness.
The Covenant Choice of Life or Death
From the beginning, Yahweh has set before His people the choice between life and death:
“I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore you shall choose life, so that you live, both you and your seed, to love 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Elohim, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him – for He is your life and the length of your days” (Deuteronomy 30:19–20, TS2009).
This is not a neutral path. Those who reject Yahweh’s Word choose death. “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12, TS2009).
Moses declared that Yahweh’s Torah itself is life: “For it is not a worthless word for you, because it is your life, and by this word you prolong your days” (Deuteronomy 32:47, TS2009). To reject His Word is to reject life itself.
Yahushua the Door: The Only Way Into Life
Yahushua fulfills the covenant call to choose life. He declared:
“I am the door. Whoever enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and find pasture” (John 10:9, TS2009).
He is the only entrance into the life Yahweh promises.
“I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6, TS2009).
John the Baptist testified of Him: “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him” (John 3:36, TS2009).
Accepting Yahushua as the Door is not optional. It is everything. It is life or death, blessing or curse, salvation or wrath.
The Destiny of Those Who Reject Him
Yahushua warned the Pharisees: “If you do not believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins” (John 8:24, TS2009).
He declared plainly: “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you wish to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him” (John 8:44, TS2009).
Those who reject Yahushua prove by their fruit that they are not of Yahweh but of the adversary. Revelation leaves no room for compromise:
“But as for the cowardly, and untrustworthy, and abominable, and murderers, and those who whore, and drug sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the false, their part is in the lake which burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death” (Revelation 21:8, TS2009).

Conclusion
To call out genocide, murder, and rebellion against Yahweh is not antisemitism. It is truth. To accuse those who stand in righteousness of hatred is to bear false witness. And Yahweh warns that false witnesses will not escape His judgment.
The dividing line in this age is not “Jew vs. Gentile.” The dividing line is Life vs. Death. Those who accept Yahushua as the Door enter life. Those who reject Him choose death.
The trampling of the land will continue until Yahushua returns, not because He blesses wickedness, but because He has declared judgment on all nations who refuse to bow the knee to Him.
Truth is not antisemitism. Truth is the Word of Yahweh. And Yahushua is that Word made flesh; so choose LIFE!
