Noa Tishby is an actress who doubles as an influencer for genocide.

I'm a historian who wrote a ph.d dissertation on the subject of Tishby's blockbuster 90 second history lesson.

Let's debunk the main claim. Tishby is narrating well-trodden hasbara, namely, that the Roman Emperor Hadrian vengefully erased the name 'Judaea' in 135 CE & replaced it with 'Syria - Palestina' to "sever the Jewish connection."

The first thing to ask yourself is why the microscopic focus on one alleged administrative nomenclature change in 135 CE in a 90 second summary of 2000 years of history. But we digress.

Tishby presents this erasure story as fact. But it's not a fact. It's a theory at best if not simply mythology.

The evidence for the theory is that some inscriptions in the Roman Empire start to refer to the land as Syria Palaestina sometime after 135 CE.

That's the closest direct evidence we've got. We don't even know if Hadrian issued an imperial decree or not ... that's already speculation.

Instead, "Syria Palaestina" gradually came into use after the Bar Kokhba Revolt was crushed in 135 CE to refer to the area.

So happened? Let's assume it was an imperial decree.

It's further speculation that the reason for the name change was in of spite the Bar khokhba revolt (what Tishby calls 'the Jewish connection').

Yet, it seems equally plausible that Hadrian changed the name to Syria - Palestina for the same reason he changed Antigonea to Mantinea, or Sepphoris to Diocaesarea. He revered ancient Greece & revived many Greek customs, traditions & names.

Or, perhaps Hadrian changed the name to Syria Palaestina because the province was now larger, and Syria Palaestina was a better term to describe what was now a larger administrative district.

Or, perhaps there was no imperial decree at all. Perhaps it was a process of dynamic evolution, evidenced by the fact that the names Palaestina & Judaea were both in use before & after the ostensible name change.

Indeed, official inscriptions bear the name Judaea from after the alleged change: 1 inscription in Austria referring to a procurator of Judaea; 1 in Ephesus, Turkey, identifying Sextus Erucius Clarus as governor of Judaea . Wouldn't that have been awkward, indeed, blasphemous, if Tishby's erasure theory was true?

Other sources like Galen, Celsus, Dio Cassius, Festus, Eutropius, Martianus Capella, Orosius, Epiphanius, & the Epitome de Caesaribus used the term Judaea synonyms ly w Palaestina centuries after “Judaea” had putatively been erased. All those writers spat in the face of Rome?

We don't know why 'Judaea' was gradually superseded by the name Syria Palaestina. There are many plausible theories.

The one presented as fact by Tishby is not a fact, it's a hypothesis, developed to support the Zionist law of the universe, namely, that everyone, everywhere in all times and all places always has and always will hate the Jews.

One of the most horrifying and brutal scenes ever captured on camera in modern history.

Israeli soldiers opened fire on thousands of starving Palestinians in Gaza as they ran in desperation trying to get a piece of food during the war on Gaza.

A moment the world must never forget.

Society loves to push the narrative that men are inherently terrified of commitment, that they delay marriage for years strictly because they want to "keep their options open" or play the field.

​The truth is that most men aren't afraid of commitment at all; they are absolutely terrified of failure.
​Society has hardwired men to believe that their entire worth as a husband is tied to their ability to provide an impenetrable financial and logistical fortress. When a man stalls on proposing, it is rarely because he is unsure about the woman. It is almost always because he looks at his bank account, his career trajectory, and his current stability, and feels like an absolute imposter. He believes he has to be a completely "finished product" before he is worthy of leading a family.

Women view marriage as something you build together from the ground up; men view marriage as a finish line they aren't allowed to cross until their resume is perfect. We mistake their deep, internal feeling of inadequacy for a lack of love.
