The Revolt of the Palestinian Jews: How the Netanyahu Government Invited the October 7 Massacre

The Revolt of the Palestinian Jews describes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign to enhance the rights of Palestinian Jews at the expense of Palestinian Arabs. ""Bibi""--on trial for corruption--could return to office in late 2022 only by aligning with rabid far-right religious parties that were intent on driving Palestinian Arabs out of the so-called ""occupied territories."" Hoping to get the Knesset to legalize the crimes for which he was on trial, Bibi proposed a ""judicial reform"" plan to neuter the power of the Supreme Court to annul such a law. Soon thousands of Israelis were demonstrating for and against the reform--even coming to blows--prompting President Isaac Herzog to warn of impending civil war. Seeing Israelis bitterly divided, Hamas exploited this weakness with a surprise all-out attack on October 7, 2023. Israel is now fighting back. But will the tens of thousands of civilian casualties in Gaza someday prompt the nations to attack Israel, as prophesied in the Bible? While Netanyahu exploited divisions in Israeli society, increasing the ungodly polarization, this book predicts that God will employ a godly polarization between religious and secular Jews, forcing them to take a stand in the coming final days.

Anthony Cardinale is a Christian Zionist with Jewish bloodlines. This is his fourth book exploring the destiny of Israel and the Jewish people in the coming final days. During his years with the Buffalo News, he won three dozen journalism awards and was nominated three times for a Pulitzer Prize. Cardinale researched his first book, The Red Heifer: A Jewish Cry for Messiah, during a residency he was granted in 1998 at Mishkenot Sha'ananim, with its iconic windmill, Jerusalem's guest house for visiting writers and artists. Themes from that book have been expanded here in light of the war in Gaza.
