Top Antisemitic Lies About Israel
&
How Best to Counter with Facts

We have all heard or seen the antisemitic chants of ‘free free Palestine’ – Jews freed Palestine in 1948, after over 20 years of 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 Arab occupiers (Arabs are from Arabia), and it was created out of 78% of stolen Judean land, by Churchill.

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. In 136 AD, Romans renamed Israel to Palestina, which was the Greek term for Judea since the 5th century BC. Why Greek? It was the lingua franca of the region. Therefore, ‘Palestinian’ was merely a colonizer term for Jews in the Judean homeland during the 1,812 years Israel was under occupations.

  • The antisemitic usage of the term (applying it to Arab occupiers) refers to the KGB Operation SIG (1967 – 1988) propaganda campaign 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 campaign was created to vilify Israel and paint it as a ‘Nazi state’ and a ‘colonizer.’
  • Arabs in Israel (which includes Gaza, ‘Jordan’ and all of Judea & Samaria), prior to 1967, hated the moniker, ‘Palestinian’ even when the British occupiers attempted to call them ‘Palestinian-Arabs’ as it was so closely associated with Jews. It took Arabs in Israel two years, until 1969, to start calling themselves ‘Palestinians.’ Today, only those who hate Jews say they are ‘Palestinian.’

Israelites were the real Jews and ‘modern’ Jews are all ‘from Europe’ – There is absolutely no difference between Israelites, Judeans, and Jews living today. Hebrew was and is the language spoken by the Jews, it is not a name for a people. Both Israelites and Judeans were the same people with a shared faith and culture, just lived under different Kingdoms, the Kingdom of Israel & the Kingdom of Judah, respectively. *Jews emerged from the pagan Semitic tribes in Judea & Samaria (then called Canaan) 4,000+ years ago. Jews are more indigenous to Israel than Native Americans to America. Jews became a distinct race and then developed the Judean faith which is part of the Judean culture. The Semitic tribes Jews conquered were all absorbed and became part, over time, of the Judean race.*

  • When the Kingdom of Israel was exiled, beginning in 722 BC, those who remained simply moved to Judea. All genetic Jews have indigenous roots in Israel. Arabs and Jews were part of the same haplogroup thousands of years ago, but as Jews formed their own nation, Jews became part of their own race (mainly J1 haplogroup).
  • Why are today’s Jews associated only with Judah when there was also the Kingdom of Israel? Are there ‘lost tribes?’ Thanks to genetic testing, all the tribes have been found. The ‘lost tribes’ refer to the 10 tribes of the Kingdom of Israel (and in historical accuracy, the concept of the ’12 tribes’ may have been more symbolic); the Assyrians did not kill Jews en masse but spread them around their vast empire. Today’s Kurdish Jews, some Persian Jews, Bukharian Jews, Azeri Jews, and a % of the Pashtun tribe in Afghanistan share the same genetics and are traced back to the Judean race. Why Judah/Judea? Because the Kingdom that remained, the Kingdom of Judah, renamed the land the Jews controlled, Judea. Judea expanded control into Samaria.
  • No fully genetic Jews are European nor have European genes. For most of Judean history in Europe, until the 20th century, it was rather illegal to marry and have children with Jews. Ashkenaz Jews are not racially White either. The first Jews in the Ashkenaz region were 20,000 Italian Jews who had Sephardic Diaspora roots, and who themselves had genetic origins in Israel. Jews are not racially White. Skin tone is not race, and most Ashkenaz Jews have different skin tones in their families, including the Middle Eastern olive tone. Skin tone is not race; shared haplogroups and genes define race. Interesting fact: White skin originated in the Middle East.

Israel is made up of ‘White Jewish colonizers’ – like mentioned, Jews are not racially White, and many Israelis are Sephardic and Mizrahi (about 61%). The first aliyot back to Israel were not Ashkenaz aliyot, but Sephardic & Mizrahi. It was Sephardic Jews who held down the fort for hundreds of years. Also, not all Jews were exiled. There has not been one year that was Jew-free in the 4,000 years of Jews being a nation in Israel. About 700,000 Jews were left in Israel after the last exile in 136 AD. That amount was not insignificant for that period. That population size then waxed and waned depending on the ruler.

Abbas is President of Palestine, and the ‘West Bank’ is part of Palestine – Abbas is not a President of anything except a terrorist organization, Fatah, which was created by Arafat in Egypt in 1958. Abbas is a terrorist in a suit and has been funding Hamas for years. Since the genocide on Oct. 7th, Abbas has pledged even further ties with Hamas. Also, no such thing as the ‘West Bank.’ It is a 1950 Jordanian occupation term for Judea & Samaria, the ancestral heartland of Israel. ‘West Bank’ was created to separate the Judean connection to Judea & Samaria when Jews were ethnically cleansed from that region for 19 years (1948 – 1967).

The UN ‘created’ Israel after the Holocaust – This lie cannot be more comical as the British weaponized the UN as soon as it was created in 1945. The 1947 UN Partition Plan (UN Resolution 181) was extremely anti-Israel. There already was an Arab state, Jordan, since 1922, and as mentioned, it was created out of stolen Judean land, thanks to Churchill. The Partition Plan was designed to create a terrorist second Arab state within the little that was left of Israel. The Arabs rejected the plan, and it was not popular with Jews either, but was seen as a last resort by Jews. The UN did not even allow Israel to apply for participation until 1949, nearly a year after Israel achieved independence. To say that the UN ‘created’ Israel is to erase the nearly 20 years Jews bravely fought the British to free the Judean homeland of occupation.

Israel is ‘occupying’ Gaza – Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005, removing not just living Jews from the Judean enclave, but also removing Judean graves. Both Israel AND Egypt had a legal blockade on Gaza due to terrorism. Egypt’s blockade was far harsher than Israel’s. If Israel’s would have been as iron tight as Egypt’s, the genocide on October 7th would not have happened. Egypt did not allow one Arab occupier to work in Egypt, and they are mostly Egyptians. Egypt also kept its border closed most of the year, except on Ramadan, has a steel wall fortified by barbed wire, and even now, is keeping its border closed – both to paint Israel as a villain but more so because it does not want its radicalized population back.

‘Innocent civilians’ in Gaza– No such thing in Gaza. All civilians support Hamas in some capacity, and as late as mid-October 2024, rated Hamas and Islamic Jihad very highly. Hamas is made up of everyday citizens. Arabs in Gaza have been murdering Jews since 1936. That year, the riots were British-fomented, then in 1948 came the Egyptians who resettled hundreds of thousands of their population and radicalized them.

  • Those Arab occupiers were joined by some Saudis and some former Israeli Arabs who fled in 1948 to help Arab armies kill Jews faster during the war. It was ‘innocent civilians’ who helped Hamas plan the genocide, it was 2,200 of them who helped murder Jews on October 7th, and all of Gaza erupted in cheers as the murdered Judean bodies were dragged through the streets of Gaza that day. Numerous families were hiding Israeli hostages. The most popular children’s game is ‘Stab a Jew’ and many IDF soldiers were finding pictures of Hitler all over bedrooms in Gaza, including children’s rooms. Now, some Arab occupiers are crying against Hamas, but let’s not be naive. If Gaza is to be restored and rebuilt, and be governed by anyone but Israel, the Arab occupiers in Gaza would quickly return to the business of murdering Jews.

‘Occupied Palestine’ – Yes, the Arab occupiers are occupying parts of Israel (Gaza, ‘Jordan,’ and 2/3rds of Judea & Samaria (Area A & B).

Israel is committing genocide – Arab occupiers in Gaza are Egyptians, Saudis, and some former Israeli Arabs, along with some Africans who came as slaves of the Egyptians and Saudis in the 1950s and 1960s – so it is not one ethnicity, and no one is being targeted because of ethnicity and race. Gaza was bombed to ensure a Judean genocide will never occur again. Given the scale of what happened on Oct. 7th, the world should be amazed that anything is even left in Gaza; no other country would have as much restraint as Israel is showing. Showing restraint is not something to be proud of in the Middle East. Terrorists and terrorist populations only respect brute force.

Hamas took over Gaza after a civil war – another lie to correct in the media…

  • Hamas did not ‘take over Gaza’ in 2006, nor was there a ‘civil war’ in Gaza either.
  • The U.S triggered an election process in Gaza in 2005, as soon as Israel disengaged, based on polling that Fatah was going to win, as the Bush administration figured that a ‘real election’ would legitimize the ‘more moderate’ government.
  • However, Hamas won the elections in a landslide when the elections were held in 2006.
  • Hamas threw the Fatah members, who were not abandoning their posts, off roofs as Fatah was the ‘holding government’ in the interim when Israel left Gaza.
  • In reality, Fatah is not ‘more moderate’ than Hamas. Both share the same goal, the elimination of Israel, just that one, Fatah, is willing to play more the long game in exchange for falsely being recognized as a ‘real government’ and downplaying what they are, terrorists in suits. Fatah has long supported Hamas, financially, with fighters, and in the diplomatic arena.

Israel denies the Arab occupiers in Judea & Samaria the right to vote – Those who live under the terrorist PA rule are not citizens of Israel and therefore do not vote in Israeli elections. Those Arabs who live in the eastern portion (not East Jerusalem, as there is only one united Jerusalem) of the Judean capital, were granted the right to vote after reunification in 1967. Some of those Arabs wished to become citizens of Israel and do vote; those who eschewed citizenship vote in local elections.

AIPAC is an Israeli lobbying arm and controls America – Israel has nothing to do with AIPAC, which is a group consisting of pro-Israel Americans; though, AIPAC has spent decades pushing an antisemitic ‘two state solution.’ The U.S. would have invested (it is not ‘aid’) in Israel with or without AIPAC. First, the significant military benefit of Israel far outweighs the $3 billion yearly investment (unlike the actual funding most nations receive, nations who are not allies).

  • Per the Ettinger Report, “Israel’s capabilities and own power projection have provided the U.S. a strategic launch point – without a permanent U.S. base – in a most critical area between the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf. This area is the leading epicenter of anti-US global Islamic terrorism, a source of 48% of global oil reserves and a critical intersection of commercial sea lanes. Israel’s geo-strategic location and battle-proven capabilities have spared the US the need to increase its own direct presence, which would have required an annual cost of $15bn-$20bn of manufacturing, deploying, operating and maintaining additional aircraft carriers, accompanied by 5-10 ground divisions.”

Israel does not receive money it can freely spend (unlike many nations for which America provides funding), but is part of the FMF (Foreign Military Financing program), where credits ($3.3 billion in credits) are given to mostly be spent on American-made weapons; therefore, the majority of that investment never leaves the U.S. Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Boeing, and Raytheon are the major beneficiaries.

More so, Israel has a substantial impact on the American economy far exceeding what the U.S. invests for Israeli defense. Below are just very few benefits Israel provides for America; the actual scope is too long to include:

  • From 2015 – 2024, Israeli Foreign Direct Investment totaled $318 billion covering a wide expanse of industries from tech to life sciences, cyber security, clean tech (to name a few). In 2024 alone, at the height of the Israel war against Hamas and Iran’s other proxies, Israeli owned companies invested $24 billion in the American economy.
  • Israeli-funded and created companies have provided hundreds of thousands of jobs to Americans (of all backgrounds) across the U.S.
  • In 2024, the U.S. was the beneficiary of $14.8 billion in trade from exporting goods to Israel. Overall, Israel is America’s 17th largest trading partner with $55 billion worth of goods and services traded.
  • Significant collaboration within the defense industries and tech ease R&D costs for American taxpayers.
  • 60,000 U.S. jobs were created just in 2024 by Israeli firms in NYC, Virginia, and across Florida. In 2022 – 2023 fiscal year, $200 million from start-ups generated by Cornell-Technion (Cornell-Tech) was injected into the NYC economy.

Israel kicked out Arabs in 1948 – This lie is part of the propaganda push against Israel. It was Arab armies which promised Arabs in Israel that if they were to leave for two weeks, Jews would be pushed into the sea (example of an annihilation attempt), and then the Arab occupiers would be able to return. The Arabs who moved to Egypt occupied Gaza and to ‘Jordan’ along to neighboring Arab nations did so, mostly, to aid Arab armies in murdering Jews.

Arab newspapers from the time tell the truth:

  • On January 30, 1948, the Jaffa newspaper, Ash Sha’ab, reported: “The first of our fifth-column consists of those who abandon their houses and businesses and go to live elsewhere….At the first signs of trouble they take to their heels to escape sharing the burden of struggle.”
  • Another Jaffa paper, As Sarih (March 30, 1948) excoriated Arab villagers near Tel Aviv for “bringing down disgrace on us all by ‘abandoning the villages.'”
  • Meanwhile, a leader of the Arab National Committee in Haifa, Hajj Nimer el-Khatib, said Arab soldiers in Jaffa were mistreating the (Arabs) residents. “They robbed individuals and homes. Life was of little value, and the honor of women was defiled. This state of affairs led many [Arab] residents to leave the city under the protection of British tanks.”
  • John Bagot Glubb, the commander of Jordan’s Arab Legion, said: “Villages were frequently abandoned even before they were threatened by the progress of war.”

A leading Arab nationalist of the time, Musa Alami, revealed the attitude of the fleeing Arabs:

  • “The Arabs of Palestine left their homes, were scattered, and lost everything. But there remained one solid hope: The Arab armies were on the eve of their entry into Palestine to save the country and return things to their normal course, punish the aggressor, and throw oppressive Zionism with its dreams and dangers into the sea.”
  • On May 14, 1948, crowds of Arabs stood by the roads leading to the frontiers of Palestine, welcoming the invading armies. Days and weeks passed, but the Arab armies did not ‘save the country.’ They did nothing but let slip from their hands Acre, Sarafand, Lydda, Ramleh, Nazareth, most of the south and the rest of the north. Then hope fled (Middle East Journal, October 1949).”
  • “As the fighting spread into areas that had previously remained quiet, the Arabs began to see the possibility of defeat, the flight of the Arabs increased — more than 300,000 departed after May 15 — leaving approximately 160,000 Arabs in Israel.”

Even the ‘massacre’ at Deir Yassin has been debunked. The only Arabs killed there were all combatants. This fact along with numerous first-account testimonies corroborating that a massacre did not occur was found in the military records in Ramallah (while Ramallah is now under a terrorist organization domain, that area in Judea had significant Judean presence – numerous villages – including Herodian-era remnants). An in-depth read on this topic is covered in Professor Eliezer Tauber’s book, “The Massacre That Never Was.”

The real Nakba was the nearly 1,000,000 Jews who were forcibly expelled from Arab and Arab-colonized lands after Israel liberated itself in 1948. No UN agency was created, unlike UNRWA for the Arab occupiers, and Israel absorbed all Judeans who were returning home, at great cost and strain to the economy.

In Iraq, Zionism was made a capital crime. In Syria, anti-Judean pogroms erupted in Aleppo and the government froze all Judean bank accounts. In Egypt, bombs were detonated in the Judean quarter, killing dozens. In Algeria, anti-Judean decrees were swiftly instituted and in Yemen, bloody pogroms led to the death of nearly 100 Jews.

Meanwhile, Jews were never occupiers of Arab lands, meaning they did not come uninvited and then attempt to annihilate the existing population. Jews lived for thousands of years across North Africa in peace with local populations, until Islam arrived. Jews lived in peace with Zoroastrians in Persia until Islam arrived. Even in the Hejaz, Jews were welcomed with open arms by the pagan Arabs after both 586 BC and 136 AD; it was only after Islam was created that murderous actions were taken against Jews across the Middle East and North Africa (with few exceptions – Saladin I inviting Jews back home to Jerusalem post Crusader defeat; the Ottomans’ favorable treatment of Jews especially outside of Palestine (the first half of their rule); the Moors working with Jews to defeat antisemitic Christians to conquer Sepharad (Spain & Portugal – however after 1099 AD, that too succumbed to Muslim mob pogroms against Jews).

Israel was ‘created’ or ‘established’ or was ‘founded’ in 1948 – Using those antisemitic terms completely undermines the very real fight brave Jews brought against the British occupiers in Israel (and outside at certain times) for over 20 years in order to liberate the Judean homeland. Saying Israel was ‘founded’ in 1948 also erases the continuous presence of Jews in the Judean homeland, uninterrupted, for 4,000+ years. Similarly, it is antisemitic to say Israel is a ‘state’ as states are created (Jordan is an Arab occupier state on Judean land) or part of consortiums. Israel is a country. Neither were all Jews exiled. As mentioned earlier in this section, 700,000 Jews remained after the last exile in 136 AD with that population fluctuating depending on the ruler and era.

Saying that the first aliyot were in the 1880s. While there was a wave of Ashkenaz aliyot beginning in the 1800s, with Ashkenaz Jews strongly aiding in the liberation of Israel and the rehabilitation of a liberated Judean homeland, we cannot forget about the Mizrahi and Sephardic aliyot that occurred centuries earlier. Throughout the ages, Diaspora Jews were coming back home.

  • The first Kurdish-Judean Aliyah took place in the late 16th century, Sephardic Jews made up the majority of Israel after the 15th century with Ladino as the lingua franca and the Ottomans deferring to Sephardic rabbis as the point-perspective on all things Judean. Yemenite Jews began coming home in 1881, helping shape the culture of a post-liberation Israel, and smaller number of Mizrahi Jews comprised the earliest groups eagerly returning – Jews from the Balkans, from Central Asia, and Egyptian Jews ought not to be forgotten, who were trickling back home throughout the eras.

‘Modern’ Israel – There is one Israel, continuously serving as the homeland of the Judean race. The accurate historical timeline descriptions are ancient Israel, pre-liberation Israel, and post-liberation Israel. Similarly, there is no ‘modern Zionism’ – Zionism has always been part of the Judean culture, and what does Zionism mean? The full right of the Judean people to live in self-determination in the Judean homeland. That historical truth has been fought for by Jews since ancient times.

Saying ‘Mandate years’ as if the British occupation was some benevolent era – In reality, the British Mandate meant a legal promise to uphold the restoration of full-sovereignty to Jews in the Judean homeland. The League of Nations tasked the British with seeing that Mandate through, which lasted barely two years. In 1922, Churchill stole 78% of the Judean homeland and renamed it ‘Transjordan’ all while issuing antisemitic White Papers that grossly (and murderously) reduced Judean immigration from within the Diaspora community.

  • Arabs were never part of the reconstitution of Palestine (Israel) back to its native population (Jews). Arabs in 1918, 1919, and even at the San Remo Accords in 1920 were wanting a ‘Greater Syria’ – independence in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon (which was earlier part of Syria), Iraq, and Arabia. Political rights for Arabs were therefore never granted in Palestine as Arabs had no vested interested in any inch of Palestine. That sentiment was loudly echoed by Emir Faisal at the San Remo Accords in 1920.
  • After 1922, the Mandate turned into an illegal occupation, which prompted Judean resistance groups to form and rise against the British occupiers. The British were humiliated and kicked out by brave Jews – the Sergeant’s Affair – when two British officers were hung and booby-trapped outside of Netanya as payback for the hanging of Jews – in 1947 was the final straw for the British occupiers, which then spurred the formal exit in 1948.

Saying ‘Gazans’ – The Arab occupiers in Judean Gaza are not from Gaza. Most are former Egyptian nationals who were radicalized initially by Egypt in the late 1940s; some are the former Arab Israelis who only came to Gaza to help Arab armies kill Jews faster in 1947 -1948 and some Saudis. The Black people in Gaza were the modern-day slaves of Egyptians and Saudis who came to Gaza in the 1950s and 1960s. No Jews who lived in Gaza from 145 BC – 2005, with only brief interruptions, were called ‘Gazans.’

Two ‘states’ for ‘two people’ – This antisemitic lie is at the root of the ‘two state solution’ farce. While Jews are from Israel, with a strong 4,000+ year history in the Judean homeland, Arabs are from Arabia. The first Arab occupiers did not step foot in Israel until the 7th century AD, with most not coming in until between the World Wars, after Jews began to clear the swamps of malaria, boosting Israel’s economy, making it favorable for outside immigration from neighboring countries. What the ‘two state’ solution calls for is for a third terrorist state inside Israel.

  • Gaza is currently occupied by a genocidal against Jews population and is thus a terrorist state. Two-thirds of Judea & Samaria (Areas A & B) were given away as part of the Oslo Terrorist Accords to the terrorist PLO, and legitimized the terrorist organization’s local arm, the PA (Palestinian Authority).
  • And there is ‘Jordan’ – aka 78% of the Judean homeland. 65% of those in Jordan are Arab occupiers who had fled to ‘Jordan’ to help Arab armies kill Jews faster in 1947 – 1948. 35% are Bedouins, who, in Israel and in ‘Jordan’ are genetic Jews. Those Jews are descendants of Jews, mostly warriors, who left for the Hejaz after 586 BC and 136 AD. Twelve clans emerged in the Hejaz portion of Arabia, who all lived in peace with the pagan Arabs for over 1,000 years, until Islam was created. One clan was killed by Mohammad, two clans were exiled, and nine remained. These large clans assimilated but most retained their Judean genetics via marrying within. After the 12th century, some returned home and settled in the Negev and in parts of now ‘Jordan’ as that was Judean land at the time.

*The term, ‘Arab occupier’ is not derogatory, but rather, historically accurate to describe the Arab entrance into Israel. Arabs indeed came as occupiers to the Judean homeland. Arab Christians in Israel are largely genetic Jews who were ‘converted’ by force to Christianity and later Arabized. Just as there are Arab clans in Judea & Samaria who are genetic Jews but were ‘converted’ by an Egyptian Caliph in the 11th century; many retained their Judean genetics to this day. And not all Muslim groups came as occupiers. The Circassian Muslims were brought to Israel by the Ottomans and live in peace with Jews; in fact, the greatest percentage of Muslims serving in the IDF are Circassian Muslims. *

Why saying Israel is part of the West or is a ‘Western’ nation is antisemitic:

  • Jews are a tribal warrior indigenous to Israel race – Jews emerged from the pagan Semitic tribes in Judea & Samaria 4,000+ years ago. 
  • Traditional Judean values do not overlap with Western ones. If one looks at Israel’s culture even today, it is vastly different from both European and American cultures. Christianity did not begin in the West and even from a Christian values perspective, the first Christians who were not ethnic Jews, were all also Middle Eastern. 
  • Once Jews lie that we are ‘part of the West’ we are seen as colonizers.
  • Judeo-Christian was an antisemitic term throughout history—first used during the Inquisition (the second one which started in 1492). Later, when Jews arrived in America, many Christians proudly pointed out instances when Jews would ‘convert’ to avoid Christian antisemitism. 

Jews are firmly rooted in the Middle East.

Actual Western values are rooted in Greek civilization and more recently, the Enlightenment which was influenced by ancient Greek philosophy (rationalism, democracy, humanism) and later, the Modern Greek Enlightement. Greek merchants heavily funded education across Europe. 

Please stop calling Israel a ‘state’ unless specifically referring to the Israeli government. States are created or are part of consortiums while countries refer to land, culture, and a population. A country is the place, a nation is the people (in terms of cultural/ethnic identity; e.g., ‘Am Israel’), and a state is the institution. When stating Israel is a state it often incorrectly conjures up a vassal status and/or a created entity, such as the lie that Israel was ‘created’ by the UN. The 22% that remains of Israel (Churchill stole 78% of our homeland in 1922) is a sovereign country that Jews liberated from the clutches of the British occupiers after fighting for liberation for over 20 years.
