Scan news accounts of anti-Israel campus and street protestors. Read their demands and manifestos. Collate the confusion after October 7 from the Biden administration.
Here are ten of their most common untruths about October 7 and the war that followed.
“Progressive Hamas”: Gay and transgendered student protestors in America would be in mortal danger in Gaza under a fascistic Hamas that has banned homosexual acts and lifestyles. Anyone protesting publicly against Hamas or its allies would be arrested and severely punished.
Women are segregated in most Hamas-run educational institutions. Under the Hamas charter, women are valued mostly as child-bearers. By design, there are almost no women in high positions in business or in government under Hamas.
“Colonists and Settlers”: Students scream that Israelis are “settlers” and “colonists” and sometimes yell at Jewish students to “go back to Poland.”
But the Jewish presence in present-day Israel is deeply rooted in ancient tradition. Dating back at least three millennia, the concept of “Israel” as a distinct Jewish state, situated roughly in its current location, is ingrained in history.
By contrast, the much later Arab invasions of the Byzantine-controlled Levant and their arrival in Palestine occurred about 1800 years after the establishment of a Jewish Israel.
“Two-state Solution”: When student protestors scream “from the river to the sea,” that is not advocacy for a two-state solution. It is a call to eliminate the state of Israel—lying in between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea—and its 10 million Jewish and Arab citizens. The Hamas charter is a one-state/no-Israel agenda, which we saw attempted on October 7.
“Occupied Gaza”: Gaza was autonomous. The Israeli border is closed, but so is the Egyptian border. There have not been any Jews in Gaza for nearly two decades.
So on October 7, Gaza was not occupied by Israel. It was under the control of Hamas, designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization. After being elected to power in 2006, Hamas cancelled all subsequent elections and ruled as a dictatorship. Gaza forbids Jews from entering Gaza and has driven out most Christians. Israel hosts two million Arabs, both as Israeli citizens and residents.
“Netanyahu is the Problem”: The U.S. and Europe claim that the conservative government of Benjamin Netanyahu is alone behind the Israeli tough response in Gaza. Thus, both the EU and the U.S. are doing their best to undermine or even overthrow the elected Netanyahu administration.
Yet, most Israelis support Netanyahu’s coalition government’s agenda of destroying Hamas in Gaza. There is no evidence that any other alternative Israeli government would do anything differently from the present policies toward Hamas.
“Targeting Civilians”: After murdering nearly 1,200 Israelis on October 7, Hamas scurried back to Gaza and hid in tunnels and bases beneath hospitals, schools, and mosques. Its preplanned strategy was to survive by ensuring Gaza civilians would be killed. Hamas has indiscriminately launched more than 7,000 rockets at Israel, all designed to kill Jewish civilians.
Outside assessors have concluded that Israel has not inadvertently killed a greater ratio of civilians to terrorists compared to most other urban fighting conflicts elsewhere, and perhaps even fewer than American engagements in Mosul and Fallujah.
“Protestors Are Pro-Palestine”: Increasingly, protestors make no distinction between supporting “Palestine” and Hamas. Their chants often echo the original Hamas eliminationist charter and recent genocidal ravings of its leadership. Some protestors wear Hamas logos and wave its flag. Many cheered the Hamas massacre of October 7.
“Anti-Israel Is Not Anti-Semitic”: When protestors scream to Jewish students to “go back to Poland” or call for the “Final Solution,” or assault them or bar them from campus facilities, they do not ask whether they are pro-Israeli. For protestors, anyone identifiable as Jewish becomes a target of their anti-Semitic invective and violence.
“Genocide”: Israel has not tried to wipe out the Palestinian people in the fashion of Hamas’s one-state solution plan for Jews. Before October 7, some 20,000 Gazans a day requested to work in Israel—on the correct expectation of much higher wages and humane treatment.
If Hamas had come out of its tunnels, separated from its impressed civilian shields, released its surviving Israeli hostages, and either openly fought the Israeli Defense Forces or surrendered the organizers of the October 7 massacre, no Gaza civilians would have died.
According to Hamas’s questionable “genocide” figures, roughly 4 percent of the Gazan population died during the Israeli response to October 7. At least a third to almost half of those deaths, according to various international observers, were Hamas terrorists.
“Disproportionate Response”: Iran tried to send 320 missiles and rockets into Israel. Israel replied with three. Hamas launched 7,000 rockets into Israel and slaughtered 1,200 Israelis before the IDF responded in Gaza, often dropping leaflets and sending texts to forewarn citizens.
Israel has been disproportionate only in the effectiveness of its response. Hamas and its Iranian benefactor intended disproportionately to hurt Israel but utterly failed.
So Israel proved to be competent, and Hamas incompetent in their similar efforts to use disproportionate force.
What if Hamas had done to the wannabe protesters and their families, the same atrocities they did to the Israelis? Would the protesters still side with Hamas??
This is the correct rational response – and highly accurate. Now, we need to give Americans the emotional response because that is what they listen to and are motivated by.
Israel is the most oppressed nation in the Middle East and also a small minority. They are the indigenous people of Israel, not Arabs. Only an uninformed and purposely ignorant individual would believe that the Palestinian Arabs are “victims” or “oppressed.”
Using the left’s language against them is also revealing the truth of what is going on in Israel.
According to Hamas the population of Gaza has INCREASED since the start of the war. Israel really sucks at genocide
Indeed. A report this week claimed around 180 births per day in Gaza, about 39,000 since October 7. That exceeds even Hamas’ bogus claimed fatalities. There were about 325,000 living in Gaza when it fell under Israeli control in 1967 – a far more manageable and sustainable number than today’s claimed 2.1 million who will long remain dependent on foreign assistance.
The region was called Palestine since the time of Emperor Hadrian in 136 AD. It was because in 132 AD Hadrian banned the practice of castration and circumcision.
He saw circumcision as a form of human MUTILATION.
As a result there was a great Jewish revolt by Bar Kochba,who claimed to be the Messiah.
The province was officially called Palestine even by the Byzanrines, and even after the Muslim conquest in 641 AD,for at least 200 years later. The Arabs made it a subregion called JUND FILASTIN ( military district of Palestine).
Arabs didn’t exist in 641AD. The first Koran is dated 653 AD and the Arab people were tribal that did not associate with each other prior to the formation of Islam. The word Palestinian means Jew. It’s ancient Greek from the Greek word for wrestler (palaistís). From the Jews’ origin story: Jacob wrestled with the angel who declared, “Your name shall be Is Ra El (Hebrew for ‘he wrestled with God’), Genesis 32-28. The Jerusalem Post was originally called The Palestinian Post as a reference to the Jews who created it. Palestinian rhymes with Corinthian and there’s no letter P in the Arabic alphabet.
Yes, the Palestine Symphony, newspaper and whatnot were all Jewish. As if camel jockeys could come up with any of that.
Yeah, but no Asshat.
Hadrian retaliated against Bar Kochba’s STUPID and futile rebellion and punished the Jews with their third and worst diaspora.
Hadrian renamed Judea as “Syria Palestina” after the extinct Jewish enemies, the Phillistines, as an insult.
There has never been a country of “Palestine,” Psuedostinians don’t speak Paleosimian, they have no cultural or ethnic history and can’t even pronounce the letter “P.”
Fuck those subhumans and fuck you.
I was wrong when I had affirmed that the Orthodox Jews of today in the prayer that they do three times a day called BIRKAT HA MINIM curse the NOTSIRIM ( Nazareans,Christians). That they be
”erased form the Book of Life and not be mentioned as being among the holy,the just” and are all called ”evil”.
A prayer for Christians not to go to heaven.
However that was eliminated in the Middle Ages and made into a general denunciation against SLANDERERS. But the original version existed from the end of the 1st century AD.
What did Christians say about Jews during that time? Actually worse and they had the power to act upon it when Christianity became the official state religion.
What do you pray to, Asshat? Satan, I figure.
Hello again Aslan. You speak of Jews praying “for Christians not to go to heaven”. And while I have no idea whether some do pray that, or not, it would seem a very odd prayer indeed in that don’t both Hebrew and Christian Greek Scriptures – Old and New Testament – tell us that it is here on the earth, on this lovely planet, that our Creator intends for us to live forever?
Jesus famously said that the meek would inherit “the earth” – the earth, not heaven. If he had meant heaven, wouldn’t he have said so? And when he said that he was simply confirming the promises in the Hebrew Scriptures.
For example, Psalm 37:29 says: “The righteous will possess the earth,
And they will live forever on it.”. So once again it is the earth where most of us are meant to live forever.
And Genesis tells us that our first parents were made to live forever on the paradise earth. They would only die if they chose to disobey their Creator and cut themselves – and us, their unborn children – off from their Creator, their Source of life. Sadly, they did so, and thus set in train this tragedy we are living in.
But our Creator, the God of Abraham, still holds out the hope to all of their damaged children (us) that we can live forever in the restored earthly paradise. I hope I will be there. I hope you will be. I hope we all will be.
But, given what the Inspired Scriptures say, why would anyone be praying that others not go to heaven, when it is here on the earth that we are made to live? To say the very least, it seems completely pointless.
Excellent column but it sort of misses the point. Everything in the column is factually correct. However, having been infected with the pathological mind virus of post-modernism, the Left doesn’t believe that objective facts, truth, logic, or reason exist. To the Left everything is simply a narrative. So, for the Left, facts and logic aren’t only irrelevant, they don’t exist. Arguing with them based on what sane people call facts and logic is a useless endeavor.
Whatever the history of Palestine is, it’s the end of attacks against Israel that must be stopped once and for all-when President Trump is back in the White House he will provide Israel what is required to wipe out jihad and scare the hell out of the myzlym jihadists and there will be a war that includes American troops that will be technical advisors more than boots on the ground as well as high tech military equipment and bada boom bada bing – Israel will once again prove the motto: NEVER AGAIN –
Victor it is way past the time that Israeli’s realize where in the world they live, it’s no where near North America, Europe, it’s in the Middle East. If we want to survive another 3500 years we better start acting like we understand and start acting like it. I know to a Westernized person it sounds horrible but if you look at any other country meaning the Arabs in our neighborhood they don’t drop leaflets telling people to flee an attack is coming, they kill and destroy without impunity. I get we want to be better but better in the Middle East will get you dead, and I plan to live a very long life so sorry to those that want Israel to act like America who has the luck not to have terrorists at it’s doorstep that demand their deaths but as Golda said, “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”
This article is entirely correct. The most potent lie about Israel is that the Jews “stole” the land from the native Palestinians. To understand why this claim is false requires some research into the historical facts. The emergence of the modern Israel state was not a simple process, and it was often opposed by almost the whole world. In any case, Jewish immigrants bought land legally, and most of the Arabs arrived later in response to the prosperity brought about by the Jews’ hard work. There were more Jews expelled from Arab countries than the number of Arabs displaced by the purely self-defensive war fought by Israel. The anti-Israel protesters are completely and willfully ignorant of the actual history of modern Israel, and I encourage the author to publish a short account which justifies the Jews’ claim to Israel. Hanson makes a step in the right direction here, but more history would be helpful.
The Book “From Time Immemorial” by Joan Peters is the best exposal of Psuedostinian lies.
The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.” — Zuheir Mohsen, PLO official, Trouw, March 31, 1977.
God is going to make Israel victorious over her enemies. It is written and it shall be done. In light of God’s unique purpose for Israel, (to glorify Himself before the world and bring blessing to the world through Israel, is was essential that God place the nation in a unique location where it would have attention and influence out of proportion to its size. God did exactly that. He gave Israel the Land of Canaan, perhaps the most strategic location in the world for attention and influence. Canaan is the crossroads to Asia, Africa, and Europe; and for centuries the major trade and military routes of the ancient world passed through that land.
Because of Israel’s location, the major world powers have had to deal with that nation. Moses clearly taught that God gave Israel the land, and it belongs to the Jewish people. Moreover, Israel’s ownership of the land doe not depend on the nation’s merit. Moreover, the fulfillment of Israel’s unique, God-ordained future requires that it own the land of Canaan forever. This is because the future involves Israel’s permanet restoration to that land. And in line with this requirement, God, through the Abrahamic Covenant, solemly guaranteed Israel’s permanent ownership of the land. Genesis 12:7; 13:14-15; 15:18-21; 17:8.”
We shall watch as the enemies try to take over that land to no avail. A two state solution is never going to work.
Very well said!! Thank you!!
These poetess are pure & simply Jew hatred.
