The land was not stolen. It was for sale.
By 1947, Jews held about 463,000 acres. Most of it bought. 73% of the plots were purchased from absentee landowners living in Cairo, Damascus, and Beirut.
John Hope Simpson walked the country in 1930 and wrote the sentence the slogans cannot survive: the Jews paid high prices, and then paid tenants to whom they were under no legal obligation to pay a dime.
In 1944 as the Holocaust raged, Jews were paying $1,000 to $1,100 an acre for sand and marsh. For comparison, Iowa black dirt that year was going for $110 an acre.
King Abdullah later wrote in his memoirs that the Arabs were as prodigal in selling as they are in weeping.
It was all the rage to sell worthless land to Jews for exorbitant prices. The mayors of Gaza and Jerusalem sold land to Jews. Members of the Muslim Supreme Council sold land to Jews. As’ad el-Shukairy, the father of the first PLO chairman, took Jewish money for land.
The nationalism came after the check cleared.
Kuwaiti Shocks UN: “Mr. Chair, Who are the real colonizers? A Jewish Kingdom ruled in Judea for a thousand years. We, the Arabs, took this land... Israel frees Gaza from Hamas and Iranians from the Islamic Republic. What Israel is doing to the IRGC—stopping a genocidal regime from acquiring nuclear weapons—is a gift to humanity.”
🚨To every Black person tempted by the antisemitic wave sweeping right now:🚨
Back when white mobs lynched us in the streets...
When we had no money, no power, and literally no movement...
Who stood with us? Who risked everything?
The Jews.
They weren't just allies—they were family in the fight.
- Jewish leaders co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and funded/led it for generations when no one else would.
- When Dr. King and our people were arrested, beaten, jailed—Jewish lawyers defended us for free, and Jewish money paid bail bonds and court fees while others turned away.
- In Freedom Summer '64, half the white volunteers risking death to register Black voters? Jewish.
- Rabbi Heschel marched arm-in-arm with MLK in Selma—our struggles linked forever.
Without their blood, treasure, solidarity, and courage—there is no Civil Rights Movement as we know it. No Voting Rights Act. No dream realized.
That's why I stand with the Jews.
They were our only true friends when this country hated us—when doors slammed shut and ropes hung high. They showed up, bled, and built with us.
So to my people joining this demonic, divisive hate today:
Pause. Remember. Honor the alliance that freed us.
Our histories are bound. Our freedoms were won together.
Betray that, and you betray the very martyrs who died for our rights.
Black-Jewish unity forged the dream. Don't let hate destroy it.
I stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters—always. ✊🏾🤝✡️🇮🇱
Repost if truth > trends. If gratitude > division. If history matters.

In the 90’s the U.S. government determined that the Muslim Brotherhood had established a propaganda arm in the U.S.. The objective was to advance Hamas’s cause through political, financial, and media channels.
The Muslim Brotherhood did this through several “front” organizations. One was called the IAP. That organization was shut down by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization.
Later, two of the leading figures of the IAP went on to establish CAIR.
Let that sink in for a moment.
Several years later, in 2007, the U.S. investigated another organization that came out of the same committee established by the Muslim Brotherhood. That organization was called the Holy Land Foundation.
In U.S. v. The HLF, the FBI presented internal Muslim Brotherhood documents from the early 1990s that described the creation of multiple “front” organizations in America to support Hamas “by perception and influence.” The HLF was convicted of providing material support to Hamas. This organization was also shut down.
In that same trial, CAIR was named an “unindicted co-conspirator.” The DOJ report acknowledged that “evidence at trial linked CAIR leaders to Hamas.”
Following the HLF trial, the FBI formally suspended all outreach and liaison relationships with CAIR.
Yet, thousands, perhaps millions engage with this organization while perceiving it merely as “fighting fascism” and discrimination. It’s the same organization now condemning the Nobel peace prize being awarded to Marina Corina Machado for opposing Maduro’s repressive regime that has crushed millions of Venezuelans.
We are totally oblivious to the influence constantly operating to shift our perspective in the way it camouflages itself in righteous causes.
Wishing a blessed Yom Kippur to all my Jewish friends and followers. Though I’m not Jewish, I’ve walked alongside the community for the past two years. Here’s what I’ve observed, and how it ties into atonement—meaning to make right—in the spirit of Yom Kippur.
It’s with a heavy heart over this morning’s news that I share this, but in truth, it sadly reinforces what I’ve come to learn. Over the past years, I’ve been forced to pry my eyes open to something I spent much of my life not seeing. Antisemitism. It is not hidden in some corner of the human heart, it is acted upon daily. If you ever enter Jewish spaces, the evidence of unsafety strikes you like a lightning bolt. The schools are wrapped in barbed wire, synagogues are iron clad, and Jewish events are fortified like compounds. There is no corner of the earth in which Jews get to experience the simple privilege that most in the west unconditionally enjoy: safety. Not in Europe, not in America, not even in Israel.
But it’s not for nothing that I didn’t see it. What makes this hatred so deadly is its cloak of invisibility. Two thousand years has given it time to perfect its disguise, each year becoming more professional, more concealed. Yet, in truth, its cloak is still as poorly made as it’s ever been. Today, just like two thousand years ago, they continue to kill Jews and once again lay the blame at their own feet. It isn’t because of Jews, and it never was. It is because they are the scapegoat upon which the world projects its own hatred.
Sometimes when I’m sitting alone on my balcony, I think of the hostages that remain underground. I feel so much pain and sorrow thinking of what it must be like to be without light, water, or touch, and starved of life itself, while the world keeps turning above them. While we laugh, go to work, debate, rest, play, and love, they suffer alone. They aren’t just forgotten, their experience is shrugged off as deserved, simply because of their identity.
Yet, this hatred is not meaningless. What I’ve come to see is that the Jewish people exist as a mirror. They reflect back to societies the sickness they cannot face within themselves. A healthy society treats everyone as equals, a sick one casts Jews as scapegoats for their projected ills. Every age reveals itself in how it treats them. It is only when a society learns that their concealed hatred is a reflection of the sickness that lives in their shadow that that society can begin to “make right.”
To atone is to admit what is broken. And Jews, by their very existence, force the world to see its brokenness. They are history’s mirror, held up to every empire, every nation, every generation. Until the world stops projecting its hatred and confronts its own reflection, nothing can be made right.
So on this day, I’d like to offer this to my Jewish friends and followers. You are not the hatred that the world projects onto you. You are the catalyst that awakens the world by reflecting back to it what it refuses to see it. In other words, you are healers. For every person that understands themselves or the world better because of what was done to you, another heart becomes healed. That isn’t a light role, but it is the role of the light.
Imagine Socrates walking through the streets of modern-day Athens. He wouldn’t recognize the marble ruins, now fenced off and silent. The language, the clothing, the customs would all be foreign to him. The spirited democratic debates he once thrived on would be gone, replaced by slogans, talking points, and scrolling headlines.
Nero might land in Rome, searching for the Colosseum, only to find it a monument rather than a stage. There would be no imperial courts, no Roman legions, no senate awaiting his command. He would see the shadows of past power, but not the real thing. The empire is gone.
Pick any figure from the ancient world. Take Cleopatra, for example. If she came back to Egypt today, she would be surrounded by people, but not her people. The gods she worshipped are forgotten. The temples lie in ruins. The language has shifted entirely. Not a single soul would know her name or speak her language.
While empires vanished and their philosophies faded, the Jew in Baghdad prayed the same prayer as the Jew in Berlin. The Jew in Ethiopia faced toward Jerusalem just like the Jew in Vilna and New York. Nations built armies to survive. Jews built homes filled with Shabbat candles.
The Greeks gave us logic, the Romans gave us law, but the Jews are still here to tell you what they gave the world: morality, meaning, and the unshakable idea that every life matters because it's made in God's image.
But if Socrates, Nero, or Cleopatra traveled further, into Jerusalem, something else would happen.
Socrates would overhear a debate at a Shabbat table. Not about politics or conquest, but about the same verses of Torah that were being argued in his own time. Nero might see children studying ancient texts that existed long before him. Cleopatra could sit in a synagogue and hear a language she may have once heard on the streets of Alexandria. Hebrew, still alive. Not revived, because it was never dead.
But even outside Jerusalem, if they listened closely, they would hear something else. People still talking about Israel. Still obsessing, accusing, and still singling out the Jews. Just like in their time.
They would feel something familiar. Strangely, of all the things in the world, the most unchanged would be this: the world’s fixation on Jews, either to blame, and analyze, or to fear. The anti-Jewish obsession is the only universal tradition that never died.
There are no Babylonians left. No Philistines. No one today worships Zeus or sacrifices to Baal. But people still scream every day “Shema Yisrael.” They still light candles on Friday night and cry at the sound of the shofar. The world kept trying to bury us, but we are the ones still here — remembering, rebuilding, and carrying on while they faded into history.
Antisemitism is the only prejudice that doesn't require Jews to be present. We were hated in Europe for being rich and in the Middle East for being poor. For being communists and capitalists. For blending in and for standing out. Even when we were gone, they blamed us. Even when we were silent, they feared us.
Now imagine Moses returning.
He won’t land in an empire or a city that forgot about him. He will find a nation that still holds his name sacred. People who still follow his laws and still read his words every week, in synagogues on six continents. Jews who eat differently because of him. Dress differently. Marry differently. Think differently.
He would see mezuzot on doors, tzitzit hanging from pockets, and children named Moshe, Yosef, Miriam, and Yehuda. He would see that even after exile, genocide, and dispersion, his people are still here. Still Jewish. Still his.
Moses wouldn’t just see Jews following the Torah. He’d see a people who have cried for 3,000 years yet never gave up. Who danced at weddings with broken glasses. Who kept faith alive in Auschwitz, who whispered blessings under threat, who buried their dead with dignity while being chased from continent to continent.
He would see a nation still walking through the desert, but carrying the fire he lit.
While the rest of the world changed beyond recognition, while civilizations came and went, while gods were born and died, one thing remained consistent: Jews are still Jewish, and the world is still obsessed with them.
If the ancient giants returned today, they would be strangers in their own lands. But Moses would come home.
Dina Rubina:
"On October 7, Saturday, the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, the ruthless, well-trained, well-prepared and well-equipped Hamas t*rrorist regime of Iran, Hamas, which rules in the Gaza enclave (which Israel left around twenty years ago), attacked dozens of peaceful kibbutzim, and bombarded my country with tens of thousands of rockets.
Hamas has committed atrocities that even the Bible cannot describe, atrocities that rival the crimes of Sodom and Gomorrah. Atrocities filmed by the way, by GoPro cameras, the m*rderers having taken the horror to the point of sending the images to their families or on social networks in real time.
For hours, thousands of happy, blood-drunk beasts r*ped women, children and men, sh*oting their victims in the crotch and heads, cutting off the women's breasts and playing football with them, c*tting off the babies from the wombs of pregnant women and immediately decapitating them, tying up and burning the small children.
There were so many charred bodies that, for many weeks, forensic pathologists could not cope with the enormous workload of identifying individuals.
A friend of mine, who worked in the emergency room of a New York hospital for 20 years, then in Israel for 15 years, was one of the first to arrive in the kibbutzim, as part of a team of rescuers and of doctors. She still hasn't been able to sleep since.
While she is an emergency specialist, accustomed to dissected bodies and corpses, she fainted when she saw the macabre sight and vomited all the way back in the car.
Among the Hamas militants, Palestinian civilians rushed in, participating in pogroms of unprecedented scale, pillaging, killing, dragging everything they could get their hands on.
Among these "Palestinian civilians" were 450 members of this highly regarded organization UNRWA (United Nations Relief Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East).
Judging by the utter joy of the population (also captured by thousands of mobile cameras), Hamas is supported by almost the entire population of Gaza.
But the essential is there for us: More than two hundred Israelis, including women, children, the elderly and foreign workers, were dragged into the beast's den.
A hundred of them are still rotting and d*ing in Hamas dungeons. It goes without saying that these victims, who continue to be mocked, are of little concern to the “academic community”.
But that's not what I'm talking about right now. I am not writing this so that anyone will sympathize with the tragedy of my people.
During all these years, while the international community has literally poured hundreds of millions of dollars into this piece of land (the Gaza Strip) - and UNRWA's annual budget alone is equivalent to a BILLION dollars! - During all these years, Hamas used this money to build an empire with a complex system of underground tunnels, stockpile weapons, teach schoolchildren from primary school to disassemble and assemble a Kalashnikov assault rifle, print textbooks in which hatred of Israel is indescribable, in which even math problems look like this: "There were ten Jews, the shahid killed four, how many are left?...", calling for the murder of Jews with every word.
And now, when, finally shocked by the monstrous crime of these bastards, Israel is waging a war of annihilation against the Hamas t*rrorists, who so carefully prepared this war, who placed thousands of shells in all the hospitals, the schools, kindergartens... - this is where academia around the world is on the defensive, concerned about the "genocide of the Palestinian people" - based, of course, on data provided by... . Who ?
The academic community, which was not concerned about the massacres in Syria, nor the massacre in Somalia, nor the mistreatment inflicted on the Uighurs, nor the millions of Kurds persecuted by the Turkish regime for decades, this very worried community, which wears "arafatkas" - the trademark of m*rderers - around their necks and rallies under the slogan "Liberate Palestine from the river to the sea", which means the total destruction of Israel (and Israelis). "academics", as polls show, have no idea where this river is, what it is called, where certain borders are located. And it is this same public which asks me "to express a position clear on the issue.
Are you really serious?
As you know, I have been a professional writer for over fifty years. My novels have been translated into forty languages, including Albanian, Turkish, Chinese, Esperanto... and many more.
Now, with great pleasure, without choosing my expressions too much, I sincerely and with all the strength of my soul send to all the brainless "intellectuals" who are interested in my position to go fuck themselves.

Text of the letter from @lilacsigan
OFFICIAL RULING: The #FreePalestine movement in America is officially become a proHAMAS cult. They refuse to allow individuals to even discuss in public what they stand for.
They all mask their entire faces now because every one of them are afraid of being held to account for their antisemitism.
They do not seem to believe in what they say publicly.
Everyone of the 320 million Americans outside of their “in group” is assumed to be an agitator.
All media must go through the cult leader. The cult leaders refuse to talk to anyone outside of the group.
They are just like the HAMAS terrorists, MAGA Proud Boys & Patriot Front.
ALL COWARDS.
