While there are a small number of individual Jews and other people who love their enemies as they love themselves, no nation or government can possibly do so in the way that individuals can. This is not a natural love; and I have even heard some say that that command of the Messiah/Christ is one reason that they are not believers in Jesus: it is too illogical. Israel has been in a state of war ever since it’s beginning, and war time rules are different than peace time. We live in a complex reality that necessitates the intervention of the God of Heaven and Earth. While the Torah tells Israel/the Jewish people to love their neighbor as themselves, this was especially speaking of their fellow Israelis, as we can see from God’s instructions regarding the conquering of the Canaanite nations within the promised land, and the people who hindered them on the way. (Dt 7:1-11; 23:3-6) Israel/the Jewish people were/are commanded to love the strangers in their midst, for they were strangers in the land of Egypt. (Dt 10:18-20; Ezek 47:21-23). Jesus/Yeshua teaches us that the strangers are not limited to family or “good neighbors”, but Middle Eastern nations to not consciously follow His teachings.
The “strangers in the midst” are those who are not ethnically “relatives”, but who are also not against you and your people, culture, nation, and, perhaps especially, the Creator and Redeemer of Israel. They may very possibly be for you and with you and your nation and the true God, such as Ruth the Moabitess, Uriah the Hittite, Cornelius the Roman centurion. YHVH never told Moses and the Israelis to make war against Pharaoh, or try to overthrow or destroy Egypt. Yeshua and His apostles never told His disciples to be rebels wherever we may live, or to overthrow Rome, for instance. Vengeance is the LORD’s, and He will judge the nations in righteousness in the Day of the LORD. There have been “days of the LORD” over the course of history, but the fullness is yet to come. (Rev 6:9-11) Treating God’s people — whether Jews or Christians — with contempt — even by Jews or Christians — will arouse God’s displeasure and judgment: He is their Father, and this contempt — antisemitism, antichristianism — is spiritually directed against Him.
The God of Israel tells His people to seek the peace and well-being of the people and countries wherever we may be living. (Jer 29:4-7; 1Tim 2:1-6) Those who live in our midst, but seek our destruction, or seek to make their god as equal or greater than the one true living God, are not “strangers” among us, but “aliens, foreigners”, who religiously, philosophically, politically refuse to “walk with us”, but insist on requiring others to accept their “worldview and way of life”. (Unfortunately,the translations of the same Hebrew words in the Bible are not consistent when dealing with this issue.) A government must first deal with justice among its own citizens before they can righteously deal with those are also trouble-makers and unlawful.
YHVH God’s choosing of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, from whom and through whom has come the Savior and salvation, was for the purpose of blessing all mankind — all the families of the Earth. Israel is a unique people and nation, and God will glorify and sanctify His holy Name — YHVH — when He comes to judge all unrighteousness and opposition to Himself and to His sovereignty — first of all within His own household, and then against those who have gone too far in their approval of and/or active hatred and disdain for His beloved people — the first born son among the nations. (Ex 4:21-23) The “after-born sons” will be blessed through the first-born’s honor and inheritance at the determined time. All will become well when YHVH God’s righteousness will be revealed on that day when Yeshua/Jesus will judge the world. (Acts 17:30-31) In the meantime, we are to go about our Father’s business of redemption, taking the gospel to allsoever so that whomsoever may repent and be saved by His grace and mercies, sanctifying ourselves and doing good along the way.
