Another week, another hostages for antisemitic ceasefire attempt. Like many of you I am sure, not a day has gone by since the genocide on Oct. 7th, where I have not thought about the hostages. It was and continues to be beyond human comprehension. Though a temporary ceasefire worked to release the first batch of hostages, it also gave the sub-human Arab occupiers ammunition to use more leverage against Israel to demand far more to release further hostages. Case in point what transpired recently: Israel demanded, rightfully, to see a list of hostages still alive before resuming talks in Cairo. Hamas said that it was an impossibility as they are ‘unaware’ of where the hostages are. Reminder, many civilians have been hiding our hostages since October 7th. Different terrorist groups have also been keeping those captured as hostages. Interesting though that within moments of an IAF bombing, the ‘Gaza Ministry

UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East) was created as an antisemitic British-led tool of the UN in 1949. It declared that any Arab who lived in Palestine aka Israel (Palestine was the colonizer term for Israel during its 1,812 years of occupation) for only two years or more, prior to the war of 1948 (in reality 1947 – 1949) was to be considered a refugee. In reality, not one Arab was ever a ‘refugee’ from Israel as no Jew ever kicked out the Arabs, and the war was a defensive one against Arab armies, not one started by Jews.   All Arabs left either voluntarily or were forced out by invading Arab armies, though the majority left voluntarily in order to help the Arab armies kill Jews faster.   Gaza at the time, in 1947 when some Israeli-Arabs began to flee there,

We have all heard or seen the antisemitic chants of ‘free free Palestine‘ – Jews freed Palestine in 1948, after a nearly 20 years armed struggle against the British occupiers. More accurately, Jews bravely freed 22% of Palestine, a colonizer term for Israel, in 1948. Why 22% only? Because Jordan was created in 1922, solely for Arabs, and it was created out of 78% of stolen Jewish land.   When an Arab says they are ‘Palestinian’ – The only response should be, wow, did not know you are a Jew!  Palestinians, in the non-antisemitic term, only refers to Jews who lived IN Israel from 136 AD – 1948, during the 1,812 years of occupation. The antisemitic term refers to the KGB Operation SIG (1967 – 1988) which created a false ethnicity and a ‘liberation movement’ made up of 6 different Arab groups, including genetic Jews who were forcibly converted to Islam in the 11th century. The

As a Jew, I have never been pessimistic about the future of Jews and our homeland, Israel. Not even when I was fairly anti-Israel for 20 years ( I believed the lies that Palestinians are a group, that their ‘homeland’ was stolen by the ‘European Jews’ and that ‘settlements’ are an impediment to ‘peace.’ Mind you, not one Jewish organization pushed back accurately against those lies and to this day, all use antisemitic terminology).and not worry what happens to the Arab settler occupiers in Gaza and in Judea & Samaria.   And then Oct. 7th happened. For the first time, and I am sure I am not the only Jew who feels this, I felt that Israel failed not just Israelis but Jews worldwide. Hamas and their supporters did not fail Jews. Those subhuman monsters acted in ways not shocking to subhumans. Hamas never hid its intention and neither did

Since becoming a Zionist in 2014, I no longer recognize the UN’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which became an official observance day of the Shoah in 2005.   It is a UN made up day where they pretend to mourn murdered Jews and continue to be against the very living Jewish homeland.   The only real Holocaust Remembrance Day, to me, is Yom Ha’Shoah and Israel specifically chose that date to commemorate the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.   There is nothing like being in Israel on Yom Ha’Shoah, observing the two minutes of silence after the somber air-raid siren sounds, after which the country comes to a stand still.   The UN pats itself on the back each January, lauding themselves how they ‘honor’ those who were murdered, but in reality, the UN has done nothing but impede Israel’s safety since 1946, when the British occupiers weaponized the UN against Israel.

Wishing everyone a very happy and healthy New Year!   With 2024 upon us, there are personal resolutions but let’s also add in Zionism resolutions:   Never say Palestinians – Not a people or an ethnicity. There are Gazans (who mostly are Arab settlers from Egypt, some are former Israeli Arabs who fled in 1948 to Gaza to aid the antisemitic Arab armies, some Saudis, and some Africans who were taken as slaves in the 1950s and 1960s to Gaza). Israeli Arabs immigrated from 25 different countries, and Arabs under PA rule are mostly Jordanian settlers; 30 – 40% of Arabs in Judea & Samaria overall are genetic Jews who were converted in the 11th century to Islam.   When it comes to geo-politics, those are three distinct names to call Arabs who live in Israel (Gaza is still technically, as per Article 80 of the UN, part of Israel

We often hear the phrase, ‘Israeli-Palestinian conflict’ everywhere – in the media, from Israeli officials, written in articles, repeated by foreign policy think tanks, and U.S. politicians. It is ubiquitous. They are all incorrect.   A ‘conflict’ indicates two equal sides laying credible claim over a disputed issue. Thus, the false phrase equates Jews with terrorists and terrorist supporters. And, the incorrect saying plays into revisionist history in an antisemitic fashion.   Terrorists and their supporters claim that Israel ‘stole’ ‘Palestine.’ As previously mentioned in earlier emails, ‘Palestine’ was nothing more than a colonizer term for Judea from 136 AD – when Jews liberated Israel in 1948 from British occupiers. And, Jews living in Israel during the aforementioned time period were known as ‘Palestinians.’   Antisemites believe that Gaza is also ‘Palestine.’ False. Gaza legally under UN Article 80, still belongs to Israel, and has been Jewish land historically since

While antisemitism on liberal college campuses has now gained wide attention, the crescendo of which we all witnessed when three Ivy League Presidents testified before Congress that calling for the genocide of Jews is not actually antisemitism and that it ‘depends on the context.’ In reality, anti-Israel hate has been in place throughout academia since 1967 via the KGB’s Operation SIG. Though the Soviet Union was the first to recognize Israel’s sovereignty in 1948, within the span of a decade, Soviet attitudes towards Israel swiftly dissipated. The goal was for Israel to become a Communist vassal state in the Middle East for the Soviet Union, and to buffer Israel against the West. Several factors contributed to the strained relations: once Jews in Israel found out the extend of antisemitism within the Soviet Union, support for the Communist regime waned, as did finding out the extent of the gulags and crimes

To those who celebrate Chanukkah, wishing you and your family chag Chanukkah sameach! Growing up, after I found out I was a Jew around seven years old, the story of Chanukkah that I heard consisted of the miracle of long-lasting oil and a brief synopsis of how Jews defeated the Greeks. Though neither detail is incorrect, there is a lot more to what actually led to the Maccabean victory, and some lessons from that time in Jewish history that can be applicable to Jews today and the Jewish homeland’s position moving forward. Not all occupiers of Israel & Judea were malevolent towards Jews. A few exceptions stand out, including Saladin I of the Ayyubid Dynasty in the 12th century AD, and Alexander the Great. In 338 BC, Alexander the Great began his invasion of the Persian Empire and shortly afterward, his Macedonian forces conquered the entire Levant, including Israel &

It was this time yesterday, that I and thousands of others tuned in to the ‘Hear Our Voices – Sexual & Gender-Based Violence in the October 7th Hamas Terror Attack’ event, which was presented by the Mission of Israel to the UN along with WZO, Shazur, and the National Council of Jewish Women; among other groups. The reason to put on this event stemmed from the antisemitic silence displayed not only from U.N. Women, which took all of 57 days to even mention the brutal rapes of Israeli women, but also to address the deafening silence of many women’s groups. The speakers from Israel ranged from a paramedic, a security officer, and a survivor from the Nova music festival. Each gave damning testimony to the absolute barbarism perpetrated by Hamas and by Gazan civilians during the genocide on Oct. 7th. The speakers mentioned that the crimes committed against Israelis were

There is a very common misconception that the UN ‘created’ Israel. That myth feeds perfectly into the antisemitic narrative that Israel was only ‘created’ because of the Holocaust, and, as such, Jews, who apparently all ‘are from Europe’ kicked out the ‘native’ Arab population. This is a lie that I had firmly believed for the nearly 20 years I was anti-Israel.   The above is upheld by many Jewish organizations who foolishly celebrate the yearly antisemitic anniversary of UN Resolution 181 (1947 Partition Plan).   What is the truth? As we all know, Jews are indigenous to Israel. Jews literally emerged from the Semitic tribes in Israel, and we have genetics, archeology, and historical events to back it up. And no, intermarriage was not common until the 20th century. For much of Jewish history, it was actually illegal for non-Jews across Europe, other Christian areas,  and the Arab world to

I have been a Zionist since 2014, and a professional Zionism educator since 2019, but I was anti-Israel for nearly 20 years. This came about because I was under the (false) impression that there is an ethnicity and a group called ‘Palestinians’ and that each group of course has a homeland, that ‘Palestine’ was stolen/being still occupied by Israel. This misinformation did not just emanate from the media, but from numerous Jewish organizations, and still does.   The very basis that Taking Back the Narrative (www.tbtnisrael.com) is built on is accurate terminology.   *Jews in Israel for nearly two thousand years were called Palestinians; it was literally an occupier term for Jews. Just as ‘Palestine’ and versions of it, was an occupier term for Judea/Israel from 136 AD to when Jews liberated Israel from occupation in 1948.* The Ottomans called the land, ‘Falastin.’   The British attempted to call Arabs
