"It was the disobedience and rebellion of the Jews, God's chosen people, to their covenantal responsibility to serve only the one true God, Jehovah, that gave rise to the opposition and persecution that they experienced beginning in Canaan and continuing to this very day....
How utterly repulsive, insulting, and heartbreaking to God for His chosen people to credit idols with bringing blessings He had showered upon the chosen people. Their own rebellion had birthed the seed of anti-Semitism that would arise and bring destruction to them for centuries to come.... it rises from the judgment of God uppon his rebellious chosen people." ( "Jerusalem Countdown: A Prelude To War", paperback edition, pages 92 and 93 )
Yeah, right, the holocaust was the Jews' fault. Plus, there is no such word as "Jehovah." We got "Jehovah" because an early translator of Biblical Hebrew was a German who, in English, often have difficulty with "ya" and "ja." There's no way that YHWH--"Yahweh"--should be pronounced "Jehovah."
