Whenever I see posts about how brave Israeli women are, I'm reminded of a quote from Lord of the Rings: 'the women of this country learned long ago that those without swords can still die upon them.'

To the people claiming Jesus was a Palestinian: can you find one instance of the word 'Palestine' mentioned in the New Testament? Just one?

Bedouin soldiers in the IDF, 1949. At the time it was known as Unit 300 but was later renamed Sword Battalion and included Muslim, Druze, and Christian soldiers. The unit was disbanded in 2015 since nowadays most non-Jewish soldiers prefer to integrate in Jewish-majority units.

What is Palestine? A placeholder name used by the British until the mandate ended. A hundred years later and a casual decision by some forgotten European bureaucrat is a nation as old as the dinosaurs...

I keep seeing people referring to Jesus as 'Palestinian.' The term 'Syria Palestina' was introduced by the Romans circa 135, some 100 years after his death. At the time of his birth, the country was called 'Judaea,' making him a Judean, which is just another word for Jewish.

The next wave of antisemitism could be the most deadly in generations because it will come cloaked in social justice.

The British Empire ruled the region for less than 30 years and only as a mandate. The Ottoman Empire ruled for over 400 years and the region was fully incorporated into the empire. And yet, we only talk about the British Empire and ignore the legacy of the Ottoman Empire.
