ALBAWABA - Hebrew newspaper The Jerusalem Post is heavily blasted after sharing the latest opinion under the headline "Is God an antisemite?".

The Jerusalem Post published its latest opinion piece written by SHMULEY BOTEACH igniting a huge fuss on social media by religious people.

An activist posted a picture of the headline and the opinion piece and wrote: "After accusing all those who oppose them of being anti-Semitic... A headline in a Hebrew newspaper: 'Is God an anti-Semite?'."

Another X user said: "There is literally no one left that they haven't accused of being an antisemite."

Rabbi Shmuley, who wrote the piece, answered the question on his official X account saying: "No, God is not an antisemite. The very fact that the Jewish people still exist proves it. But it’s high time that he started showing His love rather than just talking about it."

According to the writer of the article, SHMULEY BOTEACH said that he came up with the question following the October 7 Hamas' Al-Aqsa Flood operation during which Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip and captured military bases and took hostages from Israel.

In return, Israel announced its most aggressive attacks against Hamas and the Gaza Strip killing at least 38,193 people and leaving over 87,903 others injured.
