FAQs about Common Myths & Misconceptions of Zionism

Did Jews steal the land from Palestinians?

No. Jews legally purchased land in pre-state Israel, and in 1948, the UN established Israel with legal international recognition. Many Arab nations rejected the decision and launched wars against Israel.

Are Jews imperialists?

Jews are indigenous to Israel, with continuous habitation for thousands of years. Zionism is a national liberation movement, not imperialism.

Is Israel committing genocide against Palestinians?

No. Israel’s military actions are defensive, targeting terrorists, not civilians. The Palestinian population has significantly increased over time, contradicting claims of genocide.

What is the meaning of the phrase "From the River to the Sea"?

This slogan is used by anti-Israel groups to call for the elimination of Israel and the establishment of a Palestinian state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
