Myths Debunked

Myth:

Israel Must Dismantle All Settlements for Peace

Fact:

Dismantling Israeli settlements won’t bring peace, as Palestinian leadership rejects Israel’s existence, promotes hate, and demands a one-state solution. Settlements are legally justified, and a double standard exists.

Myth:

Israel is a Western Colonial Outpost

Fact:

Zionism was a national liberation movement, not colonialism. Israel’s founding restored Jewish sovereignty in their ancestral homeland, lacking imperial support and contrasting with true colonialism in the Middle East.

Myth:

Debunking the Myth of Israeli Discrimination Against Arab Citizens

Fact:

Despite claims of discrimination, Arab citizens of Israel enjoy full legal rights, including voting and economic participation, contrasting sharply with the limited rights Arabs face in neighboring Middle Eastern countries.

Myth:

Unmasking Genocide Accusations: Israel and the Palestinians

Believing that Israel is committing genocide is not supported by the facts and distracts from the real issue. Accusing Israel of genocide for nearly 40 years undermines the term’s significance and disrespects the memory of actual genocides.

Myth:

It is bad policy to keep the IDF in Gaza for the foreseeable future
