Since the genocide on Oct. 7th, all Jews (the non-self hating ones) have been wanting to ‘help’ Israel. Many have in various ways – volunteering in Israel, donating money to Israeli organizations, praying for the safe return of our hostages and brave soldiers, etc. I will add that the hostages are also brave. All those are great; however, below are long-lasting ways to aid the Jewish homeland, if living outside of Israel.
- Vote Republican (if in the U.S); vote right wing if in EU countries and other parts of the world. The Democrat party has been antisemitic since the days of FDR. The only exception was President Kennedy, who was a Zionist. He did question Israel’s need for nuclear weapons, but that was in light of the arms race of the time. Carter was a proud Israel-hater and remained so far after his Presidency. Clinton brokered the most anti-Israel Accords, the Oslo ‘Terrorist’ Accords which stole 2/3rds of the ancestral heartland of Israel, Judea & Samaria and gave it over to a terrorist organization (the Palestinian Authority); Obama was virulently anti-Israel in all his policies and continues to be as his henchman control the anti-Israel policies of the current antisemite in Chief, Jihad Joe aka Biden. Jihad Joe re-funded each and every terrorist entity that President Trump de-funded, and so October 7th was on his hands and everyone who voted for him.
Meanwhile on the Republican side, Eisenhower was the only exception who was not pro-Israel, since the liberation of Israel by Jews in 1948. Across the EU, only the far-right countries these days are pro-Israel – Hungary, the Netherlands, and Italy. Germany is the only non-far right country that is supporting Israel in the EU, but it is far more vocal regarding overall rising antisemitism. In Argentina, it is right-wing President Javier Milei is very pro-Israel as is the former President of Brazil, the right-wing Bolsonaro. One cannot compare President Trump’s policies vs. Jihad Joe’s. The Democrat party is filled with Jew-haters who hate the Jewish homeland, and the problem will continue to metastasize. It is also filled with Jews who hate Israel, the most famous of which is Chuck Schumer, an utter disgrace to the Jewish people.
- Learn and know actual facts on Israel and the Jewish people. There is no need to ‘defend’ Israel – Israel is not doing anything wrong. What is lacking is actual historical information. For instance, know that Jews are indigenous to Israel. That Jews are not a ‘religion’ but a race (J1 – we split from Arabs thousands of years ago) that has a strong faith, culture, and customs. Know that Israel did not kick out Arabs in 1948; most left voluntarily in order to help Arab armies kill Jews faster, and some were forced out by Arab invading armies.
- Know that there has been a ‘2 state solution’ since 1922 when Churchill stole 78% of the Jewish homeland to create Jordan (Transjordan). Know that Gaza has been Jewish land since 145 BC and to this day, still legally belongs to Israel (UN Charter Article 80). Know that those Arabs who live in Gaza are Arab occupiers who are mostly Egyptians. That those in Judea & Samria are Arab occupiers mostly from Jordan, resettled there during the Jordanian occupation.
- Use accurate terminology – Arabs are not and never were ‘Palestinians’ – that term referred only to Jews living in Israel for 1,812 years of occupation (136 AD – 1948, when Jews liberated Israel). Israel was not ‘created’ in 1948 or by the UN. Israel was liberated by Jews after nearly 20 years of fighting the British occupiers. There is no Arab ‘Apartheid’ in Israel. The only Apartheid is against Jews in Israel – restriction or complete ban of Jews in parts of Judea & Samaria, severe restrictions of praying on our most holy site (The Temple Mount; not the Kotel).
- For more accurate terms, please see the TBTN Zionism glossary: https://tbtnisrael.com/zionism-glossary-combat-antisemitism/
- Correct misinformation whether it comes from politicians, the media, Jewish groups, anywhere – online, in person, etc. Editors can be contacted and so can politicians. If receiving communications from Jewish groups and you see inaccurate information or antisemitic terminology, please make them aware.

165 days since the barbaric genocide against Israelis, the Jewish world is still coming to grips with our new reality. Hate coming from all directions, our very homeland in potential jeopardy of survival long-term, and the incomprehension of our missing people, stolen by Arab occupiers in Gaza. It has also been 165 days of sheer resilience of Israelis, the strength of the Jewish people, and renewed resolve for security.
