For Peace, End the Anti-Zionism Lie
The Trump-brokered plan might bring calm to Israel & Gaza — but only truth can make it last. Anti-Zionism is the lie that promises endless war.

The Trump-brokered plan might bring calm to Israel & Gaza — but only truth can make it last. Anti-Zionism is the lie that promises endless war.

This year, when I re-entered the world’s noise, I was met not with relief but with sorrow.

It’s hard to overstate how reckless, unserious, and corrosive this claim is — not just for Israel, but for the meaning of the word “genocide” and the principle that nations have a right to defend themselves.

At its core, this narrative is nothing new. It’s the recycling of one of the oldest antisemitic tropes: that Jews secretly pull the strings of governments.

This is not a famine born of Israeli tactics. It’s a campaign orchestrated by Hamas—enabled by a credulous press and institutions like the BBC and New York Times.
