All’s not well all’s not well all’s not well
Normalize replying “Ok, Ivanov” to antizionist libelers.
Yuri Ivanov was a Soviet propagandist who, in 1969, published Caution: Zionism!—a canonical text of the USSR’s pseudo-science called “Zionology.” From it came nearly every modern antizionist trope: “Zionists are Nazis,” the colonizer libel, the apartheid libel, the genocide libel.
Let them know they have no idea what they are spouting and that there is no reason to respond to antizionist libels.
Where is the scholarship on dhimmitude in Islamic studies?
Point me to the literature—within contemporary Islamic studies or the postcolonial academy—that seriously examines the legacy of dhimmitude, the long history of Islamic Jew-hatred, and the role of conquest theologies in shaping modern annihilationist visions of Israel.
Where are the analyses of Jewish communities under Islamic rule that confront subjugation, humiliation, and legal inferiority?
Where is the account of how classical doctrines of jihad, dhimma, and supersession continue to inform modern antizionism across the Islamic world?
The relevant authors are well known: Bat Ye’or, Andrew G. Bostom, Lynn Julius, Raymond Ibrahim, Bassam Tibi, Georges Bensoussan, Norman A. Stillman, Mark R. Cohen, David Littman, Eliyahu Ashtor, Richard L. Rubenstein, and others—none of whom are read, cited, or meaningfully engaged with in contemporary Islamic studies or the postcolonial academy at large.
The silence isn’t academic rigor, but ideological omission.
A persistent tactic of antizionists is the “gotcha” clip. Antizionists, driven by fixation and hate, spend hours combing through right-wing and fringe Israeli media, building entire Instagram accounts devoted to “catching” Israelis saying supposedly “genocidal” things—some real, many decontextualized, and others entirely innocuous but rendered “evil” through the projective antizionist gaze. The pathology here is not only the obsessive behavior but the transparent attempt to use fringe individuals to smear an entire people. It is no different from a white supremacist who weaponizes footage of inner-city gang violence to stereotype all Black people as criminals. Antizionism functions the same way: a racist caricature masquerading as moral critique, animated by a compulsive need for condemnation and accusation, and sustained by the belief that Jews exist only as objects for exposure and defamation.

Basketball trainer and Israel advocate Barak Swarttz challenges one of the basic assumptions behind traditional hasbara: if most pro-Israel content is being consumed by people who already support Israel, are we actually changing anyone's mind?
His answer: 𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴.
On 𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗖𝗔𝗣𝗦, Barak explains why he believes Israel advocacy has become trapped in an echo chamber, and why reaching entirely new audiences requires a different approach to storytelling.
