I am sharing my personal experience as a Christian living in Sydney who opposed Antisemitism in my Islam indoctrinated and non-biblically oriented Christian community during the October 7 Hamas atrocities. I wrote this book to explain their false assumptions and biases about their deeply held antisemitic actions and opinions.
I was indoctrinated with hatred to the Jews and discriminated against since childhood in my mother country, Sudan. I was determined to know why those who hate the Jews also hate us Christians, and instil their hatred of the Jews in us. This is when my interest grew in the Quran, Hadith, Sunna, the Hebrew bible, and the Bible. I am a biblically oriented Christian and of the Coptic Orthodox Egyptian rite. I have been a student of the Bible for 30 years. This gave me knowledge about the spiritual beliefs of Jews, Christians, and Muslims.
As a second-generation Egyptian Christian born in Sudan, I was subtly persecuted with few incidents of life-threatening situations. We had few terms assigned to us as whitish/tanned skinned people. The most common was "Ya Halabi" ("you who are from Aleppo") and "Ya Khawaja" ("you who are from the West"). My decision to immigrate was made when my wife and daughter were harassed in the streets of Khartoum and threatened that one day they will be "a bounty to Islamists." Also the death of two of my friends, hanged by the Islamist government for not handing over their foreign currency to the government.
