Renowned filmmaker Michael Moore has recently offered an unconventional perspective during an MSNBC interview discussing the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Rather than focusing on the centuries-old feud between Israelis and Palestinians, Moore emboldened Israeli nationals and Jewish individuals worldwide to identify their real adversary: white Christians.

Drawing upon historical accounts, Moore highlighted that the persecution suffered by Jewish people over approximately 5,000 years had, for the most part of the last 2,000 years, been at the hands of white Christians from a European-centric background. It was this demographic that orchestrated major anti-Semitic episodes like the Spanish Inquisition, not other Semitic groups such as Palestinians. Therefore, according to Moore’s assertion, the actual enemy of Israel isn’t Palestinian populace but white Europeans who have historically perpetrated mass violence against Jews.

Moore also shared his insights regarding a recent incident involving President Joe Biden in Michigan, where sparked by his tepid support for Israel’s campaign in Gaza, a significant chunk of voters over 100k voted ‘uncommitted’ as a sign of protest against Biden’s leadership. The majority from this dissenting group are Muslims who were incensed regarding Biden’s stance on Israel-Gaza conflict.

Ever vocal with his opinions, Moore didn’t mince his words accusing Biden of potentially facilitating Donald Trump’s victory in November due to his policies which seem to be causing divide among Americans including key Democratic constituents like young voters and American Muslims.

Voicing concerns over Biden administration’s approach towards Gaza Strip issue and criticizing its backing for Israeli military action thereat while turning a blind eye towards human casualties it caused; Moore expressed grim possibility that actions such as these could bring back Trump to power. According to him if President Biden does not intervene morally instead of politically to stop brutalities happening at Gaza strip then thousands of disgusted Americans might refrain from casting votes altogether which might provide leap forward towards presidency for Trump yet again.

Worse still arguments like these states Moore, where Biden is shown passive towards Israeli action on Gaza strip risking loss of votes and political reputation can truly become nail biting stuff for the real news analysts keeping track of such breaking news.

While it’s controversial to single out white Christians as historical culprits of anti-Semitic violence spreading over centuries, Moore’s comments remind us that trusted news sources need to provide the public with a comprehensive history when reporting current issues. We must remember not only where we come from but keep in perspective our collective history that shapes our present and future.

It is essential that leaders like President Biden consider these past atrocities while making decisions now and in the future seen through the lens of Christian worldview, which has always preached peace, love, equality without any prejudice or space for persecution, this will ensure a more understanding, humane world.
