30 Misconceptions about Israel leading to a rise in antisemitism

Englisch version
‘Israel occupies the land of another people. East Jerusalem belongs to the Arabs. Jewish settlements in the West Bank are illegal. The Jewish inhabitants of Israel are primarily from Europe. The State of Israel is a form of colonialism. Israel oppresses the Palestinians and operates as an apartheid state. The Israeli military lacks morality, and Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.’

These claims are repeated in the media almost every day, but are they true? What are the facts? A false narrative about Israel has taken hold, leading many to turn against the country and resulting in a sharp rise in antisemitism worldwide. In this book, Oscar Lohuis refutes 30 common misconceptions about Israel. By exploring the history, facts, and context in which Israel exists, you will gain a clearer perspective.

'This book should, in an ideal world, not even be necessary. Unfortunately, the media, politicians, and international organizations have waged a smear campaign against Israel, distorting our understanding of the country. Lies have been repeated so often that hatred towards Jews has become ingrained in our societies. In this book, Oscar Lohuis exposes these falsehoods. I hope it will encourage both Christians and non-Christians to take a stand for Israel, especially in these challenging times!
