EXPOSING THE LIES
"Look how the wicked is pregnant with evil;
he conceives trouble, gives birth to lies." Psalm 7:14 Bible CJB
There is so much going on in the world right now that it is difficult to take it all in… so many issues, so many opinions, so much fact and fiction. What we know for sure is that the Jewish people are in the bullseye of hatred – still and always. The main issue that we want to focus on is what has happened since the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas. There is no denying the fact that this attack occurred. The fiction that has grown around that attack is what we intend to shine a light on. Let us start with some historical facts.
Lie #1: The Jewish people are occupying the Palestinians’ land.
FACT: The Jewish people have maintained ties to their historic homeland for more than 3700 years. (1) This includes the time from the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. until today. By the early 19th century … more than 10,000 Jews lived throughout what is today Israel. (2)
Lie #2: Palestine was always an Arab country.
FACT: In the second century A.D., after crushing the last Jewish revolt, the Romans first applied the name Palaestina to Judea in an attempt to minimize Jewish identification with the Land of Israel. (3) Palestine was never an exclusively Arab country, although Arabic gradually became the language of most (sic) the population after the Muslim invasions of the seventh century. No independent Arab or Palestinian state ever existed in Palestine. When the distinguished Arab-American historian, Princeton University Prof. Philip Hitti, testified against partition before the Anglo-American Committee in 1946, he said: “There is no such thing as ‘Palestine’ in history, absolutely not.” (4) Even further, the Arabs themselves expose this lie: “The representative of the Arab Higher Committee to the United Nations submitted a statement to the General Assembly in May 1947 that said, ‘Palestine was part of the Province of Syria’ and that, ‘politically, the Arabs of Palestine were not independent in the sense of forming a separate political entity.’ (5) Bottom line: After the end of the defensive 1967 war, when Israel defeated the Egyptians, Jordanians, and the Syrians, Israel controlled the lands they captured: Jerusalem, the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip and Judea and Samaria (commonly referred to as the West Bank.) To the victor belong the spoils. (6) Since that time Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt and left Gaza completely in 2005.
Lie #3: Israeli’s are settlers.
FACT: You can’t be a settler if there has been a connection to the land for 3000 years. There has been an uninterrupted presence of Jewish People in Israel since the time of Joshua. The Jewish people did not ‘steal’ this land. Most recently, they were legal migrants that came under the British Mandate of 1917.
Lie #4: Hamas is a national resistance movement with the intention of liberating so-called “Palestinians.”
FACT: There is no such thing as “Palestine” in the Hamas movement. It is a religious, ideological movement raging a holy war against a race, a nation. Hamas’ charter calls for the annihilation of the Jewish people. They want a global state.
Lie #5: Israel is an apartheid state.
FACT: There have been Israeli Arab members of the Knesset ever since the first Knesset elections in 1949. Over 2 million Arabs live in Israel. Arabic is an official language of Israel. Arabs participate in Israel’s army.
This is just a brief list of the lies that have been spread, like a cancer, concerning Israel and the Jewish people for centuries, in fact, millennia. The results of these lies have threatened the very existence of Israel and its people. In previous articles we have discussed examples of Antisemitism in the United States and around the world over the years. Now we are going to discuss what’s been happening since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, murdering over 1200 people. This was the worst attack against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Yet, the loudest voices around the world are condemning Israel for the deaths they have caused in Gaza. What about condemning Hamas for using their own people as human shields? Instead, this comes from the Hague: In a conclusive and unambiguous decision, the International Court of Justice declared in a non-binding ruling Friday (July 19, 2024) that Israel’s 56-year long rule in “the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967” is “illegal,” and that it is obligated to bring its presence in that territory to an end “as rapidly as possible.” (7) So, it’s Israel’s fault that this attack occurred because they have been illegally occupying their own land? ABSURD!!
Since October 7th the media has been broadcasting “protests” by people who claim to be Pro-Palestinian and supporting Hamas, a savage group that committed genocide that day. A great deal of these “protests” have occurred on higher education campuses. Why there? Charles Small, the founder of ISGAP (The Institute for Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy) provided the following information, TRUTH based on years of research and investigation, on Jewish Broadcasting Service’s The ISGAP Hour. This is a summary of what he said.
Based on insight from Jewish students and faculty, Columbia University is a microcosm of the problem in academia, where there is a war against the Jewish people. Qatar has been funding higher education in the United States (10’s of billions of $$) for the last several decades. Professors are teaching their students that Israel is a white supremacist, colonialist settler society that is occupying the land that needs to be destroyed or dismantled. Qatar is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, a reactionary form of political Islam, that believes that the true Muslim is obligated to finish the work of Hitler. Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) is connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. On October 9th they said they weren’t just supporting Hamas; they are Hamas. Qatar is funding the propaganda warfare and funding the encampments, which are supported by the professors. It is not safe for students or faculty to attend classes. We’ve put up with their delegitimization for decades and this is the result. He gave this call to action:
1.) The Jewish community must recognize the propaganda for what it is. Our society is tolerating this insanity because it is an ideological warfare that has taken root in our own community.
2.)They must be proud of who they are.
3.) They need to call on the government and universities to stop taking money from entities who call for the murder/liquidation of Jews throughout the world and the state of Israel.
4.) They need to reach out to elected officials.
5.) They should think twice about supporting schools that are allowing this to happen on their campuses.
6.) They need to call upon the universities to provide a safe place for the Jewish people.
This Antisemitic war is not against just the Jewish people. It is also against the USA. We have seen the burning of American flags and the assaulting of our police. Antisemitism is a form of hatred that knows no bounds.

The Middle East has been the center of conflict for several thousand years, with different religions and ethnic groups living there. Those of us who don’t live there can’t possibly understand what it’s like to live there. However, Mosab Hassan Yousef was born there and lived there and thus has a perspective, TRUTH, that can help us better understand the current conflict. Mosab is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a cofounder and leader of Hamas since 1986. Hamas is an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestinian branch. Mosab was a part of Hamas, participating in the Intifada. He was arrested by Shin Bet, Israel’s security service, and spent years in Israel’s prison facility. He chose to work in counterterrorism with Israel’s intelligence service, becoming a traitor in the eyes of his people. He has converted to Christianity. The following are excerpts from his book, SON OF HAMAS.
“The leaders of Hamas are con men who use the Palestinian cause to become richer and more powerful. They do not care about the Palestinian people. The children of Gaza sit in despair and poverty while the leaders of Hamas and their families enjoy expensive jewelry and luxury hotels in Qatar.”
“Sadly, for too long the leaders of Hamas have had no reason to disavow violence because it seems to be working in their quest for power and dominance. They kill and torture, not just Israelis but their own people, and the world blames it all on Israel.” (8)
Mosab was a guest on the JBS ISGAP Hour with Charles Small, mentioned above. He shared his insights concerning the October 7th attack on Israel, calling it a genocide attack. He also called it an ethnic cleansing because Hamas killed the people based on their ethnicity, religion, nationality, and faith, indiscriminately. Israel had no choice but to retaliate. There is no moral inequivalent of what Hamas did to Israel and what Israel is doing to Hamas.
He also shared the following comments concerning Hamas:
Mosab’s message to the Jewish people in America:
1.) "We are at war, including Mosab."
2.) "We have to fight."
3.) "Bring the truth forward."
4.) "Be fearless even though we are outnumbered."
5.) "Shift strategy from defense to offense."
"The God of Israel is with the Jewish people."
"Israel is the miracle of the world."
"God’s Word – the Truth – will prevail."

GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE – TARGET OF HATRED
Time and again history shows us the darkest moments can give rise to opportunities for greatness. During these challenging times all of us must commit to the hard work of protecting democracy, liberty, and freedom. The work is not easy and there is always a price to pay. But it’s a price we have to pay because the evil that drives fascism and autocracy is ultimately no match for the promise of liberty that illuminates the lives of free people everywhere. Nations, like individuals, face moments of truth, moments in history that are turning points which challenge our survival and the survival of our core values. When we watch the news, the challenge may seem stifling and overwhelming. We continually ask, “How can this be happening?” “How can people not have learned?” Our collective decisions determine whether we emerge from these moments stronger and resilient or if we disappear in silence. Do we have the moral courage, irrespective of personal consequences, to act on what in our hearts we know to be right?”
This is an excerpt from a speech by Marcel Kshensky, an educator and son of Holocaust survivors, presented on April 19, 2023, at Riverside Park in New York City, to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising on April 19, 1943. His words speak to what the Jewish people have faced since they were set apart by God to be His Chosen People. Less than 6 months after this speech the horrific events of October 7, 2023, occurred in Israel, when the Jewish people experienced the worst attack since the Holocaust. The demonstrations, riots and attacks that have occurred throughout the world since then show that hatred and anti-Semitism increasingly poison the events in the everyday lives of the Jewish people.
On May 5, 2024, the Jewish Broadcasting Service aired the Annual Gathering of Remembrance at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, a living memorial to the Holocaust, honoring the memory of those who perished in the Shoah, as well as survivors and their descendants. The following are excerpts from several of the speeches at that gathering.
“The brutality of October 7th remains an open wound for us, the more than 100 hostages still held captive are forever in our thoughts, and the anti-Semitic hatred Hamas inspired here in America has us ever on edge. Campus cries for Jews to go back to Poland are not protests against Israel’s policies. They are protests against Israel’s existence.” Rabbi Joshua M. Davidson, Senior Rabbi-Temple Emanu-El, NYC
“The stories of survivors bear inspiration for resilience, for this unwavering spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity, for the strength to fight against the force that again rises up to annihilate us. Let us not forget what they want.” Bruce Ratner, Chairman of the Museum of Jewish Heritage
“I stand before you humble yet resolute as we mark this memorial occasion, especially this year among such turbulent times, as the shadows of hatred and bigotry loom across our city, our country and our world, and the anger and vitriol that we hear every day. Let us remember that the Holocaust did not begin with violence. It began with words... We must not only practice acts of remembrance. To build a better world we must remember to act.” Jack Kliger President & CEO of MJH
“The Holocaust was not a sudden event that happened overnight. It was carefully planned and organized by the Third Reich to destroy the Jewish people step by step… October 7th was a reminder that our enemies really still wish to murder every Jew and eliminate Judaism itself. … the anti-Semitism on the streets, the attacks on Jews at Columbia University and others, calls for an intifada, calls for death to America, death to Israel. This a threat not to just Israel, but to the United States and the entire free world. Those same anti-Semitists denied the Holocaust and denied the attacks of October 7th while at the same time saying they will do it again and again and again… And from here I am saying to the West World, don’t behave like you did in the 30’s. Don’t project weakness toward the axis of evil again. If the world continues to do nothing the evils of the Shoah and October 7th can happen again. The free world must stand with Israel against anti-Semitism, against boycotts and against hate. Let us honor the memory of the past, protect the promise of the future and stand on the right side of history. NEVER AGAIN IS RIGHT NOW. NEVER AGAIN IS RIGHT NOW!..”Ofir Akunis, Consul General of Israel.
Only the Jewish people know what it’s like to face the hatred of so many people who hate them for no other reason than that they are God’s Chosen People. We Gentiles cannot understand this hatred as they do, but we can stand against it as God leads us to do so. As Christians we must stand against those who hate the Jewish people. After all, Jesus is Jewish! If we love our Savior, then we must love His people and expose the lies of those who hate them and attack them. Highlighting mine, ed.

FOR THE CAUSE OF CHRIST
Posted 28 May 2024
A few minutes ago, a friend told me that she had been watching the Trump trial and that if they find him guilty there will be no need for an election. President Trump will be found guilty of no crimes but the crime of hate!
This entire trial is a mockery of our courts. It has been set up by Biden: a man with little moral code of ethics and the court system is giving him just what he wants: A second term to continue to ruin America and strip her of her dignity!
My reaction to her was simple. "A Witch Hunt by another name is still a witch hunt."
President Trump just happens to be the man they are after. Fear and hate are running these trials. The Democrats are out to ruin a lot more than President Trump. He is the pawn, the checkmate of the hour. Hate and fear are strong words, but they apply here.
But Trump has said correctly that they are out to get all of America's citizens.
The judicial system in America is now corrupt. I pray that it can be, through the strength of the citizens, brought back to sanity. But it just may be that America, because of its divorce from God, is on its last hurrah. We have seen violence unstopped, millions of thugs and murderers, terrorists and rapists cross into the country with Biden's approval...and Biden went to the beach!
Mr. president, you are a disgrace to the office you hold and your fellow Democrats will soon be in deeper trouble. One day, you all, every man and woman who has had the tiniest part in running America into the ground, will face the One Who will set the captives free!
You are holding the citizens of this country hostage and Psalm 2:4 states that,"God sits in His Heaven and laughs." You are doing the work of the devil and I feel sorry for you all. You turned on Israel and the Jewish People and now you're targeting the entire Nation of America.
God will set the punishment for those who stand against Him. May God have mercy on your souls...both now and forever.

"S W O R D S O F I R O N"
I S R A E L A T W A R!
"I will bless those who bless Israel, and I will curse those who curse Israel." Genesis 12:3
It is obvious to anyone with a logical mind that hamas curses Israel. Hamas is a barbaric terrorist group who has savagely murdered innocent Israeli civilians, beheaded Israeli babies, kidnapped Israeli civilians of all ages, and who continues to barrage Israeli towns with rockets, killing more Israeli civilians.
We cannot begin to understand the grief of the Israelis as they watch their country being attacked by their enemies, hamas and hezbollah, both proxies of Iran. That grief is increased exponentially in those who have lost loved ones, killed or kidnapped, by these savages, or have lost their homes and businesses. What's more, they are angry with their Israeli government for allowing these terrorists to infiltrate their country and attack them without warning.
We stand firmly with Israel as they come against this satanic attack against the People Of God and the Land Of God.
From Bari Weiss' interview on Foxnews.com:
"This is the biggest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.
Hamas is gleefully and proudly showing the extent of their barbarism. This massacre is being live streamed in real time.
This is a war between civilization and barbarism, good and evil. On one side are terrorists who have raped, maimed, mutilated and murdered. On the other side are innocent people.
The world needs to wake up. They need to see and hear what's going on. It's a generational war of ideas – pure evil.
Those cheering on behalf of the Palestinians/Hamas are cheering for bloodshed. This is not resistance in order to liberate the Palestinian people."
This is not Israel's war against the Palestinians. It is in retaliation of the monstrous attack by Hamas against defenseless civilians, ravaged by satanic evil! It is time to cut off the head the snake!
"... I will curse those who curse you!"Genesis 12:3
THE END!
