Letter to newspapers: “A Crucifying, Now of Israel”
(First, second and) Third main letter: “Europe and Israel need each other”
16a_Shalom!
^ In addition to the main letter the following letter I sent 2025.6.4 the last and third time to the Readers-Writing section of seven leading newspapers in Finland (Aamulehti, Etelä-Suomen Sanomat, Helsingin Sanomat, Karjalainen, Kouvolan Sanomat, Maaseudun Tulevaisuus, and Turun Sanomat). This time I was almost hundred percent certain that my main letter would not be published by any of them. Just like the previous two times.
As an active Christian, according to this ‘majority’, I have become / I am a representative of extreme thoughts, who may be completely ignored. Therefore, this time I made no effort to write without accusations and without spiritual texts, resulting in the following accompanying warning:
16b_Covering letter “A Crucifying, Now of Israel”
“Hey,
¤ Two thousand years ago, the leaders of the Jews rejected the Messiah promised to them, and initiated the crucifixion of Him. This people has suffered terribly as a result, as was predicted in the then concluded Old Testament (compare Zechariah 13:7-9a and Matthew 26:31).
To us Christians, the return of that same Messiah on the Mount of Olives in Israel was promised (Zech. 14:3-4; Acts 1:11).
¤ But instead of helping our people to focus on this spiritual divine hope, you, the leaders and media of our (and other) democracy(ies), are calling for a similar rejection. Anyway, too that is what was predicted. In the near future almost all states in the world are going to participate in the conquest of Jerusalem (with the aim of giving it to the Palestinians as their capital). First the Jews suffer a minor defeat (Zech. 14:1-2).
Next, the following consequences of a nuclear war describe your judgment (2 Peter 3:7), Zech. 14:12, <And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: He will cause every man's flesh to rot while he stands on his feet; every man's eyes shall rot in their sockets, and every man's tongue shall rot in their mouths.>
¤ Who else but our Creator could have foreseen and predicted a return of the Jews to their original land and such consequences of a nuclear war? It was described in black and white. They are easy to follow prophecies. You don't have have to be a believing Christian to understand it.
For more background information, see also the rest of my website, of which this Letter to newspapers is a part.
¤ Or see my book "Book of Revelation, Explained", ISBN of fourth edition: 9789528096245.
May so much respect be found for the population's own thinking, that you also mention some of these opposing opinions in your analyses and news reports.”
16c_Postscript:
¤ When US President Trump's 60-day ultimatum had expired without Iran being willing to limit its uranium enrichment process, Israel started war with Iran the next day (2025.6.13). Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen subsequently criticized this via a tweet. As if she, together with the government and the EU, could have achieved better results with Iran.
Iran has threatened Israel with total annihilation for years, together with Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. By all of them, the killing of Jews (and Christians) is glorified. Moreover, after obtaining nuclear weapons, little Israel could be placed under constant pressure and destroyed in one fell swoop. Supporting such a situation in Europe, where 6 million Jews, a third of this people, were murdered during World War II, indicates the deep moral, spiritual and literal decay of our societies.
¤ The historical data I have mentioned regarding the establishment of the State of Israel, show why Israel has the right to its own territory and the right to defend itself. Unfortunately Finland and its media, among others, systematically refuse to pass on these kinds of historical truths.
It is easier to side with a large majority and criticize little Israel, the only real and even thriving democracy in the Middle East. On the other hand, it is much more difficult to set up new democracies, for example a Palestinian or an Iranian democracy. At the same time, the economic developments of our own Western European democracies are becoming increasingly worrying. Blind to the weaknesses of our democratic form of government, a collapse seems inevitable (Matthew 12:25).
16d_Main letter “Europe and Israel need each other!”
“Little Israel, with a Jewish-Arab population of 10 million inhabitants and a country slightly bigger than New Jersey, or Wales, has, since its independence, found itself confronted with a thousandfold superiority of various Islamic neighboring countries. But this is merely the tip of the iceberg.
- In the same way, it is between the teeth of international peace and similar institutions and organizations. For example, in the General Assembly of the United Nations, Israel is condemned more than all the democracies and dictatorships of the world combined.
- Unfortunately, the media and its so-called experts usually say nothing about this disproportion. Moreover, they forget to mention the following easily understandable historical facts and counterarguments about the origin and existence of Israel.
During the First World War, the Ottoman Empire fell into the hands of the Allies. After that, it was divided into many Arab states and the Jews were also promised their own state. However, due to violent resistance from Arab Muslims, the then world power, Great Britain, tried to prevent Israel from becoming independent.
- In 1948, a small portion of the land promised to the Jews was granted to them by the United Nations. However, the Jews had to figure out for themselves how to defend against five invading Arab armies, without having a real army.
- An arms embargo by the United States was another problem for them, because this country considered its economic relations with the oil-producing countries in the Middle East more important at that time. It may serve as an example that support from the United States to Israel is never unconditional.
- The number of Jewish refugees from the surrounding Islamic countries, with a forced abandonment of all their belongings, was at the time greater than the number of Arabs/Palestinians leaving Israel. For that reason, Israel should never have been held responsible for the Palestinian refugee problem.
- In 1967, Egypt, with the help of Syria and others, had first threatened Israel in all kinds of ways and cut it off from the rest of the world. When Israel had started the Six-Day War against them because of this casus belli, Jordan joined Israel's opponents. After this, Israel conquered the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan. After the war, however, Israel was condemned by the majority of the United Nations as the occupier, although according to international rules, it would automatically have had a right to these territories as the defending party.
- In 1973, with the Yom Kippur War, an oil embargo brought the last overt support to Israeli-giving Western European states behind the Palestinians. For the predecessor of the EU, the European Union, this became the official line. Money has the final say here, unfortunately.
In the Second World War in Europe, the highest percentage of casualties were in Germany, if the Jewish murdered ones are not included. Bombing Germany (and Japan) would have been the only way to eliminate their dictatorial leaders. And a similar kind of destruction would be needed to eliminate Hamas.
- Under inhuman pressure, Israel has developed into the state it is today. In fact, it is the only well-functioning democracy in the Middle East, with real human rights for the Arab population, among others. Likewise, it yearns for cooperation with other democracies that know that attacks on Israel are attacks on their own system.
- In turn, it could inspire and help West-Europe with its innovations.”
