In Defense: Israel and the Jews

Where exactly does the name "Palestine" come from? The earliest records we have can be traced back to the Egyptian word "Peleset" around 1150 BC, which referred to a neighboring region of people whom most historians generally identify as the Philistines. The Philistines were believed to be a seafaring people who migrated from the eastern Mediterranean to the southern Levant region around the 12th century BC. They began to decline and disappear as a distinct people from the 8th and 6th centuries BC from conquest and assimilation. The Hebrews called the Philistines "Plištīm" or "Pelishtim" and referred to the region they occupied as "Peleshet." Both the Hebrew "Peleshet" and the Egyptian “Peleset” are derived independently but refer to the same geographic region and the people that inhabited them, the Philistines. In Biblical times, the Philistines occupied primarily the coastal regions in what today is southwestern Israel, incl...

Tell me why, in the past ten years, Israel has spent over two hundred and fifty million dollars on registered lobbying and PR in Washington, which ranks among the top spenders globally? Like, you know that Trump's current attorney general, Pam Bondi, is a former foreign agent for Israel? Kash Patel, the leader of the FBI, also consulted for Israeli interests. Steve Witkoff sold a hotel for six hundred and twenty-three million dollars to a wealth fund in Israel. Explain to me why Israel has hired these powerhouse firms like Mercury Public Affairs and Blueprint Advisors, who are firms whose entire job is to get face time and meeting time with officials in the United States, and Israel logged more in-person meetings with Congress offices and federal agencies than almost any other foreign government. Tell me why Israel has donated billions of dollars, over six billion, which is the largest of any foreign contributor to American universities since 2001? Yeah, explain to me why Israel fu...

Ever since the October 7th attack, there has been a dramatic increase in anti-Israel, if not anti-Jewish, rhetoric on social media, manifesting itself through public discourse. Something I like to call Israel Derangement Syndrome. But now the layers of the onion have been peeled back, and we're seeing a lot of this is coming from Islamic countries. It has been a massive social media campaign aimed toward the Western to erode support for Israel. This campaign appears to have several objectives: Divide the MAGA base as Republicans are primarily pro-Israel. Divide the Christian base as Christians, particularly evangelicals, are pro-Israel. Distract from the real threats (i.e., the Islamization of the West). It does this largely by flipping the script, turning Israel into the oppressor and the Palestinians into the oppressed. This is classic Marxism, something the Islamists have learned how to do from the left. And to their credit, it's been very effective. The left has always been...

I recently asked, "Who's really pulling the anti-Israel strings?" Well, there's another layer to that. X recently added a feature that tells the country where accounts are located, whether they are using a VPN, and how they are connected to X. As it turns out, a lot of the anti-Israel rhetoric is coming from accounts that pretend to be from the U.S. but are from Islamic countries, particularly Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Turkey. If you want to know why there's been an uptick in anti-Israel rhetoric since the October 7th attack, well, here it is. So, they are using Israel to divide MAGA and distract from the Islamization of the West. It has all been a huge psyop, and unfortunately, a lot of people bought into the propaganda.

I hear this accusation quite often, and it's usually directed towards Ashkenazi Jews.  Ashkenazi Jews are simply Jews who migrated or were taken against their will to Europe after the Diaspora, which for the Jews began around 70 AD after the destruction of the Second Temple (the Diaspora actually began much earlier, but that was when they began migrating to Europe). Jews have always been an insular people, but they did mix with the local populace once there, likely Europeans who converted to Judaism. That explains why they have a lighter skin tone, but that doesn't make them any less Jewish. It wasn't uncommon even in Biblical days for the twelve tribes to intermix with the local populace. Moses, for example, married a Black Ethiopian/African woman. And Joseph, Jesus' earthly father, had several gentile ancestors in his ancestry. There are many different types of Jews: Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Sephardi, Ethiopian, etc. All groups share a significant Levantine (ancient Israel...

Ever since the October 7th massacre that killed 1,200 people in Israel, mostly civilians, there has been a marked increase in online anti-Israel rhetoric. No longer is such rhetoric relegated to the left, but it has infected the right side of the isle as well. It has now become fashionable to hate Israel. But who is really pulling the anti-Israel strings? As it turns out, all roads lead back to Qatar. There are those who love to focus on and criticize the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) for their influence on U.S. policy, yet are oblivious and turn a blind eye when it comes to all the other foreign lobbies. Out of the top ten foreign lobbies, Israel doesn't even rank number one, that's reserved for China, but tenth. Above Israel ranks three Muslim countries, one of which is Qatar. *Source: https://www.opensecrets.org/fara Qatar is an extremely wealthy Islamic country. GDP-wise, they are the wealthiest in terms of average citizen affluence. And ...
