I’m going to address this poison head-on.  I am Standing With Israel.

The hostility toward Israel in our generation is not rooted in truth. It is rooted in confirmation bias, ignorance, and in many cases an unexamined anti Jewish worldview that hides beneath political language. When people claim that Israel manipulates the United States or that AIPAC somehow controls American leaders, they are not making geopolitical arguments. They are recycling the same conspiracy patterns that fueled centuries of antisemitic lies in Europe and the Middle East. Israel does not control the United States. 

On balance, Israel is a net gain for both the United States and the world. What does Hamas contribute to anything?

The United States benefits greatly from Israel’s innovations in medicine, technology, cybersecurity, agriculture, and defense systems. Israel does not receive these as gifts. It pays for them through money, strategic partnership, and the sharing of groundbreaking discoveries that advance global safety and human progress.

Hamas, by contrast, produces nothing that uplifts humanity. Its only export is death. Its mission is not creation but destruction, not progress but terror.

Israel builds, heals, and advances.

Hamas kills, exploits, and deceives.

So which one contributes to the good of civilization?

Only one does: Israel.   I am Standing With Israel.

Israel does not control American politics. 

Israel is the only democracy in the region, the only nation that shares our values, and the only ally that has stood with the United States consistently since its rebirth in 1948. The myth of Jewish control is not an argument. It is an accusation built on historical hatred. 

The claim that Israel committed genocide in Gaza after Hamas butchered civilians on October 7 is equally dishonest. 

Genocide means “the intentional elimination of a people group.”

Yet Israel warned civilians, opened humanitarian corridors, paused operations, and delivered aid while its own citizens were still being held hostage. 

Hamas did the opposite. 

Hamas stole fuel, murdered its own civilians when they tried to flee, and used hospitals, schools, and neighborhoods as human shields. The people of Gaza repeatedly voted for Hamas at nearly ninety-two percent, and Hamas exploited that support to build tunnels, rockets, and terror networks instead of building a society. 

Israel did not starve Gaza. Hamas starved Gaza. Israel did not invade Gaza without provocation. Hamas invaded Israel, slaughtered the innocent, and dragged families into dark tunnels. The accusation of genocide is not a moral claim. It is propaganda crafted by groups funded by Iran, Qatar, Lebanon, and Yemen. 

The influencers who parrot these lies betray their own lack of discernment and integrity. Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and others have built platforms by appealing to outrage rather than objective truth. Their hostility toward Israel is not informed by the Bible, not informed by history, and not informed by reality. They speak confidently about matters they have never studied. They repeat slogans crafted by terror supporting regimes. 

They invent strange conspiracy theories, including the absurd and defamatory claim that Israel’s Mossad assassinated Charlie Kirk because he was secretly planning to oppose Israel. That is not journalism. It is not analysis. It is foolishness that only survives in echo chambers where people never test their assumptions against facts. 

The people of God cannot afford to be carried away by ideological winds. We are followers of Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. Paul did not describe Israel as the enemy of the nations. He said the nations were grafted in to Israel’s covenant and warned Gentile believers not to boast against the natural branches. To defend Israel is not political. It is biblical. To reject conspiracy theories is not partisan. It is righteous.  I am Standing With Israel.

The covenant God made with Abraham did not expire. The promises to Israel were not transferred to the nations. And the hatred being stirred today by careless influencers is the same hatred that has resurfaced in every generation. 

Our calling is to stand with truth, stand with Israel, and stand against every distortion that leads people away from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

NOW, I’m going to address this anti-Israel poison head-on in far greater detail for those who are interested in FACTS. 

The hostility toward Israel in our generation, in our right here and now, isn’t rooted in truth. It’s rooted in confirmation bias, ignorance, and in many cases an unexamined anti-Jewish worldview that hides beneath ignorant political language. When people claim that Israel manipulates the United States or that AIPAC somehow magically controls American leaders, they aren’t making geopolitical arguments. They are recycling the same conspiracy patterns that fueled centuries of deadly and un-Godly antisemitic lies in Europe and the Middle East. Israel doesn’t control the United States. 

Israel does not control American politics. Understand, in Israel, the uninformed and divisive trouble makers who cannot think strategically for the long game, just like the circular firing squads that exist here on social media in the United States.

Israel is the only democracy in the entire region, the only nation that shares our values, and the only ally that has stood with the United States consistently since its rebirth in 1948. The myth of Jewish control is not an argument. It's an accusation built on historical hatred. 

The claim that Israel committed genocide in Gaza after Hamas butchered civilians on October 7 is equally dishonest. 

Genocide means “the intentional elimination of a people group.” Yet Israel warned civilians, opened humanitarian corridors, paused operations, and delivered aid while its own citizens were still being held hostage.

Why are there so many LIES about Israel?  

Why are those who are spreading LIES about Israel and Jews

Doing this?  Why are normally sane people believing these heinous LIES?

I tell you exactly why HERE!

The people of God cannot afford to be carried away by ideological winds. We are followers of Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. Paul did not describe Israel as the enemy of the nations. He said the nations were grafted in to Israel’s covenant and warned Gentile believers not to boast against the natural branches. To defend Israel is not political. It's biblical. To reject conspiracy theories is not partisan. It's righteous. Further, Let me Clarify; and thank you for sharing your thoughts. I can hear that you are trying to make sense of a very complicated situation, and I respect that. But I also want to offer clarity, because much of what you referenced is social media content that does not reflect accurate history, law, or geopolitics.

First, AIPAC is not required to register under FARA for the same reason that the Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood, the NRA, and thousands of other American advocacy organizations are not required to do so. FARA applies to entities that act under the control or direction of a foreign government. AIPAC is an American organization, funded by American citizens, advocating for a strong U.S.–Israel relationship. The Department of Justice has repeatedly confirmed that it does not meet the criteria for foreign agency registration.

Second, the claim that Israel was “sitting on a surplus in 2021” is a misreading of their national budget reports. Israel did not have free cash reserves for foreign policy ventures. Their 2021 rebound was a recovery year from COVID lockdown losses, not a surplus fund. As for the “Israel buying TikTok to control the narrative” claim, there is no factual basis for that at all. This came from a TikTok video that misstated routine corporate acquisitions and recycled conspiracy narratives. No part of ByteDance, TikTok, or its decision structure has been purchased or controlled by Israel.

Third, regarding Netanyahu. You do not have to admire him to acknowledge the facts. Accusations of “war crimes” are not convictions. Hamas is an internationally recognized terrorist organization that launched a mass murder and kidnapping operation on October 7. Every sovereign nation on earth has the legal right and moral obligation to defend its citizens. Civilian casualties are tragic, but they are caused by Hamas embedding fighters, weapons, command centers, and tunnels under hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings. That tactic alone is a war crime. Israel is responding to an existential threat, not initiating one.

Fourth, on U.S. funding. The money sent to Israel is not cash placed in Netanyahu’s personal hands. Almost all U.S. military aid to Israel stays inside the United States economy through the Foreign Military Financing program. In other words, the vast majority of the funds never leave America. They are used to purchase American defensive systems from American companies, built by American workers. Ukraine aid, by contrast, functions under an entirely different framework and for different strategic reasons. These are apples and aardvarks.

Finally, I understand your frustration with the war in Gaza. No one with a functioning conscience enjoys watching conflict. But it is important to recognize that Hamas intentionally creates civilian suffering because it is a core part of their media strategy. They hide behind women and children. Israel warns before strikes, drops leaflets, phones residents, and creates humanitarian corridors. Hamas blocks those corridors. The contrast is morally and factually significant.

I appreciate that you care and that you are trying to understand. My encouragement is always this: do not let social media shape your worldview. These issues deserve better sources, deeper context, and real historical understanding. 

The covenant God made with Abraham did not expire. The promises to Israel were not transferred to the nations. And the hatred being stirred today by careless influencers is the same hatred that has resurfaced in every generation. 

Our calling is to stand with truth, stand with Israel, and stand against every distortion that leads people away from the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  For those who take issue with the comparison of our “funding” of Israel vs Ukraine’s war:  To help make sense of the funding conversation, here is a simple comparison that clears up the confusion many people have when they lump Israel aid and Ukraine aid together. They are not the same thing, they do not function the same way, and they do not serve the same strategic purpose.

1. How the money is actually used

Israel:

Almost all of the aid labeled as “funding Israel” stays inside the United States economy. Through the Foreign Military Financing program, Israel is required to spend the money on American defensive systems, purchased from American companies, employing American engineers, welders, machinists, and manufacturers. It is essentially a U.S. defense sector jobs program with a reliable ally as the end user.

Ukraine:

The funding for Ukraine is direct financial and military support for an active battlefield. The money funds ammunition, weapons, fuel, intelligence support, training, logistics, and economic stabilization inside Ukraine. It is an emergency package to keep the Ukrainian government from collapsing and to sustain an ongoing war effort. The goal is to prevent a Russian takeover of Europe’s eastern flank.

2. Strategic purpose

Israel:

Israel aid supports one of America’s closest intelligence and counterterrorism partners in the world. Israel provides the United States with enormous amounts of intelligence on Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, and other terror networks. Aid helps maintain stability in the Middle East, deters Iranian aggression, protects major U.S. national interests, and preserves a democratic ally in a hostile region.

Ukraine:

Ukraine aid is designed to prevent Russia from expanding westward and destabilizing Europe. A Russian victory in Ukraine would force NATO to militarize its entire eastern border and would dramatically increase the likelihood of a future war involving U.S. troops. Supporting Ukraine is cheaper than containing a larger Russian expansion later.

3. Accountability and oversight

Israel:

Israel is a long-standing, transparent U.S. ally with strict procurement systems. The aid is monitored, audited, and tightly controlled because the money never enters Israel’s internal budget. It goes through American contractors.

Ukraine:

Ukraine is a wartime government with far looser systems. Oversight exists, but wartime conditions always reduce precision. Funding supports volatile battlefield requirements where some waste is inevitable because of the nature of war. This is not corruption, it is the reality of emergency logistics in a live conflict zone.

4. Longevity and expectations

Israel:

Israel’s support package is not a “forever check.” It is a predictable, long-term security agreement that ensures deterrence, regional stability, and intelligence sharing. It reduces the likelihood of large-scale American troop deployments by strengthening a capable partner.

Ukraine:

Ukraine funding is not long-term defense cooperation. It is crisis aid in a war that could end tomorrow if Russia withdrew. It is not structured, predictable aid. It is emergency-based appropriations.

5. Moral framework

Israel:

Israel was brutally attacked on October 7 by a terrorist organization that targets civilians intentionally. Any nation attacked in this way has the legal and moral obligation to defend its people. Israel’s war is self-defense.

Ukraine:

Ukraine was invaded by a foreign aggressor. Aid is provided to help a sovereign nation resist an unprovoked invasion.

Conclusion

These two funding structures are entirely different programs serving entirely different purposes. Treating them as the same thing is a social media simplification that does not match the legal, economic, or strategic realities.
