I loved reading each fact and gained more knowledge about them. These should be handed out on a flyer to those who don't have any attention span for actual reading, understanding or awareness of these five facts. It could be a quick way to educate some of them.
To build on the Israeli comedian, Yohai Sponder's definition, Zionism is a Jew who owns a house. A Zionist is a Jew who has a home.
"The Jews truly emigrated in peace from Europe, other parts of the Middle East, North and South America, and even places like India and Africa to take part in the Zionist dream:"
Omits the tiny but somewhat relevant fact that Jews have a history of 3,500 years residency in their unceded ancestral homeland attesting to their inherent indigeneity. The legal implications are momentous because the legality of native claims are adjudicate not on popular opinion nor on political expediency but precisely on this point of established land tenancy.
"Before then, the Ottomans ruled it. Unfortunately for all the “pro-Palestinians” and their revisionist history, the Palestinians in and of themselves never ruled “Palestine” — in large part because they never wanted to."
Let it not be forgotten that the concept of Palestine as a unique national territory and Palestinian as a unique national identity was invented in 1964 by Arafat and company and, according to the PLO representatives of the time,strictly for politcally expdient reasons.
"Zionism emerged in the late 19th century as a response to centuries of Jewish persecution"
Political Zionism may have only emerged in the late 19C, but assimilationists, "progressives," agnostics and atheists notwithstanding, a Jewish homeland for the Jewish people has been a core principle of Jewish identity going back to the time of Abraham.
" Aliyah isn’t just an immigration policy; it’s a global homecoming. "
The biblical foretelling of Aliyah is the Ingathering of the Exiles. Those of us returning Home from foreign diasporic lands aren't colonial settlers, we are returnees to our ancient homeland. Those of us who take up residence in Judea and Samaria, the heartland and source of our name, are not colonial settlers: we are true returnees.
"[The annexation of Judea and Samaria] was recognized by virtually no one in the international community — not even by other Arab states."
Only two countries did recognize this annexation. Surprise, surprise — England and Pakistan. As the French say, "plus ça change, plus c'est la même."
"in any honest conversation about Israel, [the fact that 'Judea is not a foreign colony or an occupation;' It’s the soil from which Jewish civilization first sprang.'must be front and center."
And therein lies the essence of the problem. The AJB (anti-Jew Bigots) among us, and they are as numerous as lice in plague times, are convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that their moral rectitude trumps fact, history, reason, or evidence.
The AJB will only be defeated when their own rhetoric and sources of their hatred are turned against them. We need signs, placards, billboards, pamphlets, fliers, newspaper articles, youtube videos, etc., citing Koranic chapters that call for genocide; that tell True Believers it is permissible to lie to protect and promote the faith; that the faithful should deceive Christians and Jews by smiling to their face while hating them in their hearts; that it is the right of Muslims to reconquer any lands they once won through war; that it is permissible to break any treaty made with the kufr (infidels) when it is advantageous to them to do so; that the ultimate goal mandated by Allah through Mohammed is to convert the world and impose Shariah Law (da'wah).
Amen! More truth in five bullet points than the New York Times publishes in a year...

Love your work
Excellent article !
A very good essay, Joshua. History and geography equals truth.
Nice article, should be shared, but when public media are not interested.
I am vividly reminded of Vladimir Vysotsky's poem Lie and Truth, nothing is more relevant to this time than that poem.

Perfect! “For the law will go forth from Zion . . . And He will judge between the nations . . . “ Isaiah 2.
