The decades-long movement to eliminate the history of Jews in Israel and replace it with a false “Palestinian” one has come to fruition. We see it in all the people who believe that Palestine exists. We see it in those who believe there is a unique Muslim “Palestinian people” and that Jews stole their land. The lies of Palestinian-ism are the foundation for so much of the hatred against Jews and Israel that surrounds us today.
The erasure of historical truth came about so slowly that most people didn’t notice. Now even the Jewish community, and major Jewish organizations, not only go along with the Palestinian lie– they internalize and promote it.
It’s time to set the record straight. Here are a few ways NCCI has been doing just that. Click on this link to hear our talks before the Orange County Board of County Commissioners (time stamp 1:38:08).

The Kurdish Truth vs the”Palestinian” Lie
Unlike the “Palestinians,” the Kurdish people have a history going back thousands of years. They are the largest ethnic group in the world without an independent country. As minorities in Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Syria, and as a pro-America/pro-Western people, they are targets for violence and oppression in their host countries. Why aren’t college students marching on behalf of the Kurdish people?
It’s important for the US administration to obtain accurate history regarding the Kurdish situation, Unfortunately it appears that Turkey is feeding misinformation to the US instead. We invite you to read this important piece by the founder of the American Friends of Kurdistan, Diliman Abdulkader, The U.S. Should Appoint a Special Envoy for Kurdish Affairs.
Inventing Palestine
Another way to educate the community is through the press. This can be challenging since the Palestinian contrivance is so embedded in our society and culture. Fear of being called an Islamophobe should not stop anyone from speaking the truth. Those in support of Palestinian-ism claim their 1st amendment rights and so should we.
We invite you to check out our article published in American Thinker, Inventing Palestine.
Here are some excerpts:
- “The Palestinian concept did not come about organically. It was created deliberately, with the intent to destroy Israel and Jewish sovereignty.”
- “Before modern Israel was founded, the Islamic world learned of the Zionist movement. They were horrified. They would not tolerate Jewish sovereignty over land they perceived as theirs in perpetuity. Suddenly, a part of the Ottoman Empire that had been ignored for centuries became important.”
- “Since military options failed, Islamist Yasser Arafat and the Soviets devised another plan. Working together (https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/9090/soviet-union-palestinians) in the early 1960s, they created a “Palestinian people” that the West would see as victims of Jews. No matter that “Palestinians” who had recently emigrated to the Mandate from countries like Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen were lumped together to create a unique Palestinian people — the world bought it.”
- “This is an uncomfortable topic. Many will avoid it for fear of falsely being called immoral or an Islamophobe. Yet an honest understanding of Israel’s enemies is critical to the survival of the Jewish people. Validating the pretense of a unique indigenous “Palestinian” people is suicidal. “Palestinians” then remain Israel’s problem — the jihadis know it and celebrate.”
The Jerusalem Post Newspaper from 1965, no mention of Palestinians, only Arabs.
