Have you ever wondered why the Palestinian cause has become the only conflict to go viral and trendy – flooding social media with slogans, filling city streets with endless protests, and fueling worldwide campaigns as if no other tragedy exists? Where is the outrage for the atrocities in Sudan, Myanmar, Syria or Ukraine? Why don’t these conflicts spark the same obsessive attention? Are the lives lost there less valuable? Do their dead not count? Or is it that their suffering simply isn’t fashionable enough for the activists who’ve chosen to obsess over one cause while ignoring countless others?

Here’s the uncomfortable truth: if you stay silent on every other long-running conflict, yet erupt in outrage the moment Israel is involved, stop fooling yourself—you’re not being “woke,” you’re not being “humanitarian.” You’re being played and manipulated. You’ve swallowed one of the most relentless, well-funded propaganda machines of our era—a campaign designed to demonize Israel, engineered and bankrolled for decades by authoritarian regimes, terror groups, and fascist organizations, all driven by political, religious, and financial agendas.

Disappointingly, you have swallowed it whole without a second thought—blind rage on autopilot. You ignore context, complexity and history, pretending this is all about Justice, when in truth it is about something far older and darker: inherited unconscious Racism against the Jewish people. The oldest hatred in history—Antisemitism—handed down through generations, now repackaged and disguised as Activism. Think about it—you have been recruited as a useful idiot in a multi-billion-dollar crusade against Israel and the Jewish people. Since critical thinking clearly isn’t steering your choices in life, I’ll do it for you. Let’s dig into those catchy slogans you parrot everywhere and expose the big fat lie behind them.

Exposing the Lies Behind “Free Palestine” Slogans

The “Free Palestine” movement thrives on catchy slogans, which have become weapons, shaping narratives and influencing global opinion. They’re repeated at rallies, blasted across social media, and painted on protest signs. But behind the emotional cry for justice lies something far more sinister: these phrases are deeply misleading, historically inaccurate, or outright hostile to Israel’s existence. They are a deliberate distortion of history, erasure of facts, and rhetoric that seeks to demonize Israel while excusing Palestinian extremism. A well orchestrated propaganda against the only Jewish state in the world. Let’s pull back the curtain on these slogans and expose the propaganda for what it really is.

1. “Free, Free Palestine”

On the surface, this sounds like a call for freedom. But freedom from what? Since Israel fully withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Gaza has been under Palestinian control. What followed wasn’t freedom but a Hamas dictatorship that murders dissenters, hoards foreign aid, and launches rockets at Israel. The territory has been ruled by Hamas—a terrorist organization that oppresses its own people, crushes any opposition, and diverts aid into weapons. In the West Bank, the Palestinian Authority—not Israel—runs daily governance. Yet protesters scream for Israel to “Free Palestine” while ignoring the fact that much of the Palestinians’ suffering comes from their own corrupt and violent leadership. By painting Israel as the “Oppressor”, the phrase oversimplifies and misleads. This slogan isn’t a call for freedom—it’s a shield to excuse Palestinian failure and shift all the blame on Israel.

2. “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free”

This is perhaps the most notorious slogan. It sounds poetic, but its implications are extreme. The land “from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea” is the entirety of Israel. Calling for it to be “free” of Israel means erasing the world’s only Jewish state. To make it “Palestine” is to wipe Israel off the map. Supporters claim it calls for equality and “justice for all”, but the geography makes it clear: it envisions the end of Israel. That’s not a call for peace, rights or coexistence—it’s a call for elimination and ending Jewish self-determination entirely. The truth is, this is a genocidal chant calling for the eradication of Israel and the Jews. Supporters try to sanitize it but history exposes the truth: it’s the language of eliminationism and antisemitism.

3. “End the Occupation”

The word “occupation” gets thrown around constantly, but it’s misleading as if Israel illegally occupies Palestinian land. Israel’s presence in the West Bank is the result of defending itself in a war of survival in 1967, when Arab states tried to destroy it. There was never a Palestinian sovereign land ever. Gaza was part of Egypt, while the West bank was part of Jordan. Furthermore, under international law, these territories are disputed, not illegally occupied, as they were never recognized as sovereign Palestinian land. Since then, Israel has repeatedly offered land-for-peace deals —repeatedly—and each time Palestinian leaders rejected the offer. Why? Because compromise means accepting Israel’s existence, something Palestinians refuse to do. By chanting “End the Occupation,” activists ignore the facts. It is part of a propaganda meant to rewrite history, erase Jewish ties to the land, cover up decades of Palestinian rejectionism and ignore Israel’s legitimate security concerns.

4. “Israel is an Apartheid State”

Comparing Israel to apartheid South Africa is a deliberate lie, claiming that Israel operates a racist system of segregation and oppression, similar to apartheid South Africa. In South Africa, apartheid meant legally enforced racial segregation where Black people were denied citizenship and rights. The truth is, this slogan deliberately twists reality. In Israel, Arab citizens make up 20% of the population, vote in elections, become doctors, professors, hold seats in parliament, serve as judges, and even sit on the Supreme Court. That’s not apartheid—that’s citizenship. Meanwhile, real apartheid exists in Palestinian society, where Jews are banned from living in Palestinian Authority-controlled areas, and Hamas openly calls for killing Jews worldwide. Calling Israel “apartheid” is a smear campaign designed to demonize and isolate the only democracy in the Middle East. Israel is a multi-ethnic democracy where Jews, Arabs, Druze, Christians, and others share equal rights under law. Restrictions in the West Bank and Gaza are about fighting terrorism and maintaining security, not race. Equating Israel with apartheid South Africa is a malicious falsehood, meant to de-legitimize Israel’s very existence and stoke hatred worldwide, while ignoring the far more severe repression Palestinians face under Hamas or the Palestinian Authority.

5. “Boycott, Divest, Sanction (BDS)”

BDS markets itself as a non-violent human rights movement, but its leaders openly admit their goal isn’t reform, compromise, or peace—it’s the dismantling of Israel itself. By targeting Israeli academics, artists, businesses, cultural exchanges, academic collaboration, and economic ties, BDS singles out the world’s only Jewish state while ignoring brutal regimes like Iran, Syria and North Korea. Far from a peace-building tool, it punishes ordinary Palestinians as boycotts push companies to leave the West Bank, costing jobs, making BDS an economic warfare disguised as activism rather than a quest for justice.

6. “Resistance is Existence”

This slogan glorifies “resistance” as essential to Palestinian identity, a means for dignity and survival. But in practice, “resistance” means terrorism— suicide bombings, rockets on civilian towns, kidnapping of civilians from their own beds, and knife attacks—all justified as “resistance.” Romanticizing violence as a form of existence ensures endless bloodshed instead of coexistence. It ignores the fact that Israel has repeatedly sought peace, while groups like Hamas openly state their goal is Israel’s destruction. This phrase doesn’t inspire dignity—it fuels extremism. It glorifies violence as identity. It ensures endless war, teaching Palestinian children that their future is not in building, innovating, or living alongside Israel, but in destroying it. It is propaganda at its ugliest: dressing up bloodshed as liberation.

7. “Palestinians Are the Indigenous People of the land”

Central to the propaganda narrative is the claim that “Palestinians are the indigenous people of the land”. While attempted to sound persuasive and compare the Palestinians to other indigenous groups around the world, you only need a slight dig into history to make this claim fall apart. The propaganda machine claims that Palestinians are the ancient, indigenous inhabitants, while Jews are foreign colonizers. The truth is that it is the exact opposite! It’s one of the most brazen reversals of history. The Jewish people trace their roots back over 3,000 years in the Land of Israel, with kingdoms, prophets, and a continuous presence and identity tied to the land. They have written a very famous book about it – it’s called “The Bible”. Jews prayed daily for return, even in exile, and never abandoned their presence there. Arabs arrived much later, during the 7th-century Islamic conquests, and many who identify themselves as Palestinians today are descendants of relatively recent migrations from Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. Now here’s a fact that may surprise you – the term “Palestinian” only became common in the 20th century—and originally referred to the Jews living under the British Mandate. Palestinians hijacked the name only in 1964 to create their own identity. This was only 60 years ago, 16 years after the State of Israel was established in 1948 and 3 years before there were any “Occupied Territories” after the Six-Day War in 1967. To call Jews “colonizers” in their own homeland is historical inversion, erasing their whole history while fabricating one for others. This is a core element in the Palestinian narrative, where in fact it highlights how big is the Palestinian lie!

8. “Gaza Is the Biggest Concentration Camp in the World”

One of the most outrageous mechanisms of the Palestinian propaganda, is to take elements of the Jewish Holocaust and use it for their own purposes. For instance, spreading the lie that Gaza is equivalent to a Nazi death camp, with Israel as the jailer. This is one of the most obscene distortions. Nazi concentration camps were places of industrialized mass murder. Gaza, by contrast, is governed by Hamas, has bustling markets, universities, shopping malls, beaches, and even luxury hotels. Israel does not occupy Gaza—it withdrew completely in 2005. When restrictions are imposed, they are security measures in direct response to Hamas rocket attacks and continuous terrorism. Comparing Gaza to Auschwitz is not only false—it’s a grotesque insult to Holocaust victims and a deliberate effort to demonize Israel by equating it with Nazi evil. This slogan weaponizes Holocaust inversion as propaganda.

Another interesting fact many people tend to ignore, is that Gaza also has a border with Egypt. Claiming that there is a siege on Gaza and blaming only Israel is absurd – what about the Egyptians who block Palestinians from crossing over to Egypt, even at a time of war, refusing to accept any refugees – even temporarily – while threatening to walk away from the peace agreement with Israel if a single Palestinian would cross over. Egypt restricts movement from Gaza into its own territory due to security concerns as it fears allowing unrestricted movement could enable militants from Gaza (including Hamas and other extremist groups) to enter the Sinai Peninsula. Moreover, their political strategy is to oppose Hamas, which is ideologically linked to the Muslim Brotherhood—a group Egypt considers a threat to its own government. Egypt’s blockade of the Rafah crossing is not helping the Gaza population but completely ignored since it is much easier for the propaganda machine to only blame Israel.

9. “Israel Is a Colonizer”

This is one of the most ridiculous claims ever. In the narrow eyes of Woke-ism, there is an Oppressor vs Oppressed, a Colonizer vs Indigenous. So let’s simply pick a side regardless of the facts. To become a colonizer you would often have your own established state and then you would travel half way around the world to build colonies who would then “report” and pay taxes to the King, Queen or Emperor. Examples: England a.k.a. the British Empire, France a.k.a. the French Colonial Empire, Spain a.k.a. the Spanish Empire, Portugal a.k.a. the Portuguese Empire, Italy a.k.a. the Roman Empire, Turkey a.k.a. the Ottoman Empire and most interestingly the Arab Conquest. How on earth does Israel – one of the tiniest countries in the world – falls into this category? You would have to ask the Woke academics in the western world who redefined much of the terminology thanks to a great deal of funds from Qatar a.k.a. Qatari involvement in US higher education.

The propaganda lie claims Israel is a foreign colonial implant imposed on native Arabs in the land. The truth is – Jews are the indigenous people of the Land of Israel (dear Academy students and teachers, please open the Bible, page 1). They are not outsiders who came to conquer—they are a people returning home. Modern Zionism was not an imperial project but a national movement, reviving sovereignty in the land of Jewish ancestors. By contrast, Arab presence arose from the Islamic conquest and later migrations. To brand Israel as a “colonizer” is to erase 3,000 years of Jewish history and invert reality. Colonizers don’t pray three times a day for return to a land they never left in spirit. Colonizers don’t revive an ancient language to live again where their prophets walked. The colonizer claim is a propaganda weapon, nothing to do with history.

10. “Israel Is Committing a Genocide in Gaza”

This is one of the most grotesque slanders imaginable, to argue that Israel is deliberately exterminating Palestinians as a people. Genocide means the planned destruction of an entire people. It needs to have the intention, the means and the actions to murder all people of a given race – much like the actions attempted by Hamas and other Palestinian organizations on October 7. Israel’s actions in Gaza are defensive measures against Palestinian terrorism, not an attempt to wipe out Palestinians. In fact, Israel goes to extraordinary lengths to avoid civilian casualties – by dropping leaflets, making phone calls, and aborting strikes on terrorist when civilians are present nearby. Civilian deaths are tragic, but they result from Hamas embedding its fighters, rockets, and command centers in schools, hospitals, and residential areas including humanitarian zones built within Gaza during the war. To call this a “genocide” is not just a lie—it’s a blood libel designed to equate Jews with Nazis and strip Israel of its right to self-defense. It’s another example of hijacking the Jewish Holocaust and use it for the Palestinian narrative against Israel.

Now, let’s talk about facts and numbers – because they really matter. As mentioned earlier, many other conflicts around the world are completely ignored by these so-called activists. But how can they ignore the shocking number of casualties: in Syria’s civil war 650,000 people were killed since 2011, in North Ethiopia 300,00 people died in the span of two years, in Sudan the ongoing civil war has killed more than 150,000 so far and displaced nearly 13 million people, in Yemen around 370,000 dead estimated, and in the Ukraine – Russia war the numbers are unclear and could be close to 1 million casualties. In comparison, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health (which is Hamas) there were 62,000 fatalities, about half of them terrorists. Overall, much lower numbers than all other conflicts above. That is not a genocide – that is a war – and the inevitable price paid when starting a war.

11. “There Is Famine and Starvation in Gaza”

Also known as the Starvation Propaganda, backed by Qatari money and propagated all over the western media, the lie that Palestinians in Gaza are deliberately starved by Israel, facing famine conditions. This slogan is another emotional manipulation that ignores facts. The truth is Israel allows and facilitates massive amounts of humanitarian aid—food, medicine, fuel—into Gaza. Since the beginning of the war Israel has enabled 2 million tons of aid to enter the Gaza Strip, over one ton of aid per person, during an active conflict. International agencies confirm that while there are hardships, Gaza is not in a famine. Food is available in markets, though Hamas routinely diverts aid for its fighters, hoards supplies in tunnels, and manipulates scarcity for propaganda. In fact, estimates suggest Hamas seizes up to 90% of incoming aid, stockpiling it in underground bunkers and tunnels while civilians above ground are left to suffer. Images have shown Hamas storing mountains of flour and medical goods underground, while Gazans line up for bread. Malnutrition rates in Gaza are lower than in many other parts of the Middle East. Starvation is not Israel’s policy—in fact it’s the complete opposite – it’s Hamas’s deliberate strategy: weaponizing hunger, exploiting its own civilians, and using their suffering as a propaganda tool to generate international outrage against Israel. The sad reality is that the propaganda machine works, and Israel is vastly blamed by the corrupt UN and other hypocritical western countries about the situation in Gaza, again ignoring the responsibility of Hamas and other terrorist organizations, who simply do not care about the civilian population.

12. “Israel Is the Oppressor”

I often hear this claim parroted on TV and social media by woke pro-Palestinian socialists activists, who tend to use the very same terminology time and time again – Israel is the powerful oppressor keeping Palestinians down. What a lie and a pile of nonsense. The truth is this slogan flips reality on its head. Israel is a democracy that wants peace and prosperity for all its citizens, including Arabs, Druze, Christians, and Jews. The true oppressor of Palestinians is Hamas and the Palestinian Authority—regimes that rule with fear, crush dissent, siphon billions in aid, and prioritize war over welfare. Hamas builds terror tunnels instead of homes, stockpiles rockets instead of medicine, and uses civilians as human shields. Israel provides electricity, water, medical care, and aid even to its enemies, while Hamas exploits its own people as pawns. To call Israel the oppressor is pure inversion: the ones who actually strangle Palestinian freedom are their corrupt leaders and Islamist warlords, not Israel.

13. “There is Only One Solution, Intifada Revolution”

The chant “There is Only One Solution, Intifada Revolution” is deeply problematic and should be condemned for promoting violence rather than peace or justice. “Intifada” means “Uprising” in Arabic. It refers specifically to the First (1987–1993) and Second (2000–2005) Intifadas, which were periods of Palestinian violent resistance. By invoking the term “Intifada,” the chant glorifies the two violent uprisings against Israel — especially the Second Intifada which involved numerous suicide bombings, shootings and other attacks that killed and injured thousands of Israeli civilians. The chant is a strong rhetorical phrase suggesting that no compromise or alternative path is acceptable other than violence as the exclusive path forward. This rhetoric dangerously mirrors eliminationist slogans from other historical conflicts and, in this context, is often interpreted as a call for the destruction of Israel. Remember those calling for a Two State Solution? Well, this call is opposing any solution other than the total annihilation of Israel. The chant does not distinguish between the Israeli government and Jewish civilians, making it particularly inflammatory when used in Western cities near synagogues or Jewish communities, where it is easily perceived as targeting Jews as a whole. While it is framed by some as a call for resistance, its historical references and militant language make clear that it is, in effect, an incitement to violence against Israelis and, by extension, often fuels broader antisemitic sentiments.

14. “Globalize the Intifada”

If you are not overwhelmingly worried about the Pro-Palestinian movement so far, then this is where the coin should drop. The call to “Globalize the Intifada” is something every one of us should consider very carefully to understand what it actually means. The chant is a troubling slogan that calls for the expansion of violent resistance beyond the borders of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The term “Intifada” specifically refers to the Palestinian uprisings against Israel, which included significant violence, including suicide bombings that targeted Israeli civilians on public buses, restaurants, dance clubs, markets, malls and other public spaces. By calling to “globalize” this form of resistance, the chant promotes the idea that similar tactics – including violence – should be adopted around the world, often against institutions or communities associated with Israel or Jewish communities. This slogan erases any distinction between military occupation and civilian life, and in doing so, it risks justifying attacks on any civilians, under the disguise of solidarity. Moreover, it internationalizes a conflict in a way that can fuel extremism, antisemitism, and social division in countries far removed from the Middle East. Rather than promoting peace, justice, or dialogue, “Globalize the Intifada” spreads a militant and confrontational ideology that encourages escalation and undermines any prospects for non-violent resolution or coexistence. Bottom line – globalizing the intifada means bringing the lie of Palestine and its violent means to your doorstep, wherever you are around the world.

15. “Islam Will Dominate The World”

The slogan “Islam will dominate the world” is a declaration used by Islamist extremist groups to express their belief in the eventual global supremacy of Islam—not just as a religion, but as a political and legal system governed by Sharia law. This phrase reflects an ideological commitment to replacing secular democracies, liberal values and religious pluralism with a theocratic Islamic state or caliphate. Far from being a benign religious expression, it conveys a rejection of Western ideals such as freedom of speech, gender equality, and individual rights, viewing them as obstacles to be dismantled. The slogan is particularly dangerous because it has been used to justify radicalization, violent Jihad, and the undermining of democratic societies from within. In Western contexts, it fosters division, fuels extremist recruitment, and threatens social cohesion by promoting a worldview that is inherently supremacist and incompatible with liberal democracy. While it does not represent the beliefs of all Muslims, its use by fringe groups poses a real ideological and security risk to the Western World and must be clearly rejected. Otherwise, people in Europe, Britain, US, Canada and Australia will lose their national identity over time and collapse.

Conclusion: Words That Obscure Truth as a Strategy

The slogans of the “Free Palestine” movement are not neutral appeals for peace or justice—they are political weapons designed to distort history, de-legitimize Israel, and inflame hostility. By simplifying a complex conflict into catchy chants, they erase Palestinian responsibility, ignore Israeli peace efforts and present Israel as a one-dimensional villain. Peace requires honesty, and honesty starts with rejecting false propaganda which is based on manipulation and hatred. Every one of these slogans was carefully crafted not to tell the truth, but to sell a narrative—Israel as the evil, Palestinians as eternal victims, same Victimhood that has been adopted by the UN for many years now, in fact since the establishment of the state of Israel.

This propaganda is aiming to manipulate facts, change the Jewish-Arab history and easily attracts non-critical thinkers who blindly follow buzz words like Justice, Freedom and Revolution. Strangely enough, while calling for a Ceasefire, none of these protesters have ever called for Peace. These slogans simplify a complex reality into soundbites that inflame anger, spread misinformation, and fuel antisemitism worldwide. They’re not chants for peace. They’re tools of war—propaganda bombs thrown into the global conversation. And the more they’re repeated without challenge, the more the lies spread. It’s time to call them what they are: not cries for freedom, but slogans for Israel’s destruction.

Turning the Narrative Back to Reality

Slogans are powerful because they’re short, sharp, and memorable. For far too long, the “Free Palestine” movement has dominated the conversation with soundbites that mask extremism as justice. The antidote is not silence, but stronger language – truth compressed into equally powerful words. By arming ourselves with counter-slogans, we don’t just push back—we reclaim the narrative.

Counter-Slogans: Truth Against Propaganda

If the slogans of the “Free Palestine” movement are weapons of misinformation, then the best response is sharper, clearer language that exposes the truth. Here are counter-slogans that cut through the lies:

• “Free Palestine from Hamas”
  A direct answer to “Free, Free Palestine.” The people of Gaza don’t need to be freed from Israel – they need to be freed from Hamas, which keeps them in poverty, oppression, and endless war.
• “From the River to the Sea, Israel Will Be Free”
  A reversal of the genocidal chant. Israel has the right to exist securely across its land, without the threat of rockets, terror tunnels, or eliminationism rhetoric. Israel is the only country in the whole wide world which is under scrutiny and discussion whether it has the right to exist.
• “End the Lies, Not the Land”
  A response to “End the Occupation.” The core problem isn’t borders—it’s the lies that deny Jewish history and reject Israel’s right to exist.
• “Democracy, Not Apartheid”
  When activists shout “Apartheid Israel,” this points out the obvious: Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, where Arabs, Jews, Christians, Druze, and others live with rights that don’t exist in surrounding states. There are many Arab countries in the Middle_east where minorities are threatened or slaughtered.
• “Build, Don’t Boycott”
  A counter to BDS. While BDS tears down opportunities for Palestinians and Israelis alike, real peace comes from building partnerships, businesses, and shared prosperity.
• “Resistance is Terror”
  A blunt answer to “Resistance is Existence.” True resistance to tyranny is non-violent. What Palestinian groups call “resistance” is terrorism—and it brings only death and destruction, resulting in a forever war.
