One major cause that has led America, Britain and Canada to turn against Israel is mass migration.

“From the river to the sea” has become a common refrain worldwide. It’s a call for Jewish genocide, removing all Jews from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. On February 21, the slogan was projected onto Britain’s most famous landmark: Elizabeth Tower, which houses Big Ben. Police ignored the law against messages being projected onto any Parliament buildings without planning permission. Activists chanted pro-Hamas slogans outside Parliament that evening and all night.

Inside, members of Parliament debated whether to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. The motion accused Israel of “collective punishment of the Palestinian people.” But in a complete break with precedent, that motion was never put before Parliament. Instead, only amended versions of the motion were put forward.

The idea that Israel is engaged in collective punishment in Gaza is a dangerous lie, and one the Labour Party, recovering from a well-deserved reputation for anti-Semitism, didn’t want to endorse. But it didn’t want to vote against a ceasefire either. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer visited the speaker’s office to implore him to break the rules, fearing for the safety of his m.p.s. The House speaker, Lindsay Hoyle, gave way, and presented only an amended version that Labour could get behind. Parliamentary rules were cast aside out of fear of a baying mob.

On Oct. 15, 2021, Conservative m.p. Sir David Amess was murdered by a radical Muslim, in part because he supported Israel. “I also don’t want another attack on this house,” Hoyle said. “I was in the chair on that day. I have seen, I have witnessed—I won’t share the details, but the details of the things that have been brought to me are absolutely frightening.”

m.p.s have been warned not to wear their lanyards outside of Parliament so they won’t be targeted. The director of the rally that evening urged protesters to “ramp up the pressure” on m.p.s and said he wanted “Parliament to have to lock its doors.”

It’s not just violence and intimidation that have pushed the pro-Hamas case. It’s also the sheer numbers. Britain held local elections on May 2. Usually campaigns focus on rubbish collection or the quality of the local bus service. This time “Free Palestine” became a regular campaign slogan. Over 40 out of 2,600 counselors were elected on a pro-Palestinian platform. One shouted, “We will raise the voice of Palestine. Allahu Akbar!”

This kind of intimidation has also helped push Canada into the anti-Israel camp. In February, British Columbia’s post-secondary education minister, Selina Robinson, was forced from office after pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted a New Democratic Party retreat. Her crime: being a Jew and making comments supporting Israel.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is fond of making trips to mosques. However, the National Council of Canadian Muslims told Canadian m.p.s they would not be welcome at any Muslim gatherings this Ramadan unless they publicly condemned the Israel Defense Forces for “war crimes,” called for an immediate ceasefire, and resumed funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinians. Over 300 mosques and other Muslim institutions signed the letter. Soon after, funding for unwra resumed.

Islamic views on Israel are making themselves felt in the United States too. Michigan houses the largest concentration of Muslims in the country. Here, 100,000 chose “uncommitted” in the Democrat primary. In America’s only Arab-majority city—Dearborn, Michigan—“uncommitted” won by a landslide. An exit poll found that 90 percent of the Muslims in the primary voted “uncommitted.” Joe Biden has been no friend to Israel, but Muslim voters are demanding he go much further.

In Deuteronomy 28, God describes the blessings that will come upon the nations of Israel if they obey Him, and the curses they will suffer if not. This prophecy is for us—and we are not obeying God. Verse 43 warns, “The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.” Britain and Canada are living this curse. “Strangers” have overturned parliamentary rules and are setting the direction for these countries.
