Not entirely unacceptable to call Hamas freedom fighters, doctor tells tribunal

In Romans 1:18-32, Paul describes the downward spiral of humanity that suppresses the truth of God. Verse 32 is the climax: not only do they commit sins, but they 'give approval' to others who do the same.

The Greek word συνευδοκέω (syneudokeō) means to consent to, applaud, or endorse. Paul's point is that the deepest stage of moral decay is when sin is not only practiced but celebrated and defended in others.

This is a direct principle about the progression of human rebellion. It does not require a prophetic timeline—it describes a recurring pattern of moral decline that intensifies as society turns from God.

Dr. Crowe's defense of labeling Hamas 'freedom fighters' goes beyond personal opinion—it is an act of giving approval to those who practice violence against civilians.

The doctor is not merely tolerating evil but actively justifying and rebranding it as virtuous. This mirrors exactly what Paul describes: the final stage of moral corruption where sin is publicly endorsed.

In a Western nation like the United Kingdom, where such views are being defended in tribunals, this is a clear sign of the moral inversion that precedes judgment. The article shows that even in professional, educated circles, the line between good and evil is being erased.

Psalm 94 is a lament and plea for God to judge the proud and wicked who oppress the righteous. Verses 20-21 specifically address those who use legal systems ('frame injustice by statute') to persecute the innocent.

The psalmist's complaint is that the wicked use the machinery of law and order to accomplish their evil ends, banding together against the righteous.

This is a wisdom-application because the psalm describes a recurring pattern of human injustice that appears throughout history. It does not predict a specific event but provides a lens to recognize when legal systems are being used to shield evil and attack the good.

The tribunal in this case is being asked to judge whether a doctor can publicly defend a terrorist organization without professional consequences. If the tribunal rules in favor of Dr.

Crowe, it would effectively 'frame injustice by statute'—using employment law to protect the rebranding of evil as good. The 'righteous' in this context are those who call Hamas what it is: a terrorist group that targets civilians.

This psalm warns that such legal maneuvering is not new. When courts and tribunals become instruments to protect those who justify violence against the innocent, they are banding together against the life of the righteous.

Believers should watch such proceedings with sober awareness that human justice systems can be corrupted to condemn the innocent and exonerate the wicked.
