Debunking Myths About Israel and Palestine

Lie number one, Israel is the only Jewish state in the world.

Israel is the second.

The Jewish Autonomous Oblast is the first.

Founded in 1934, it predates Israel

and is located in Russia's Far Eastern Federal District.

At 14,000 square miles, it's 75% bigger than Israel.

And bordered by China, North Korea, and Russia,

relocating there would prevent the endless problems

that the world currently faces

because of Israeli expansionism.

Honestly, it would be better for everyone if they did.

Lie number two, Jews had nowhere to flee

during Nazi Germany.

False.

The Havara Agreement reached in 1933

between Nazi Germany and Zionist organizations,

primarily the Jewish Agency for Palestine,

allowed German Jews to migrate to Palestine

by transferring their assets to Germany,

then reclaiming them in form of German exported goods.

This allowed Jews to keep some of their wealth

and the Zionist movement

to increase Jewish immigration to Palestine,

which is what they wanted.

Over 60,000 German Jews immigrated to Palestine

under this agreement between 1933 and 1939.

Lie number three,

Palestinians never wanted Jews in Palestine.

As tens of thousands of Jews migrated to Palestine

during the Havara Agreement and World War II,

Palestinians welcomed them even into their own homes.

The Jews were housed, clothed, fed, and given refuge.

Then one day, those same Jewish families

that they'd cared for

locked the Palestinian families out of their homes

and, backed by the military,

threatened their lives if they returned.

I'm not making this stuff up, you guys.

It's everywhere.

You just have to be willing to see it.
