One of the most common claims made against the State of Israel is that it is a European colonial enterprise. In this presentation, participants will learn how the Jewish people meet all of the internationally-accepted criteria for being indigenous to the land of Israel. They will then beable to use this information in order to effectively respond to this false claim of colonization.

In 1840, there were NO Jewish newspapers or members of Parliament in either the UK or the USA!

There has also never been a Jewish cabinet minister in the UK or the USA.

The blood libel was a minor tragedy in terms of loss-of-life yet it catalyzed world Jewry to start thinking like a nation.

The swift mobilization of world Jewry on behalf of the Jews of Damascus saved them from massacre.

The infrastructure left behind by the mobilization (Jewish Press, lobbying groups, etc) gave rise to the Political Action Committees and other structures we have today.

This atmosphere also gave rise to the first Zionists (40 years before Hertzl).

I took the time to wander, to walk through new neighbourhoods, to get to know the streets where we lived for 5 months. What I discovered was more than the beauty and the geography, I found out about life and values and culture. I found the sounds and scents and sights. I found new colours and old souls, modern thinking and old stone. Come with me on a walk through some of my Jerusalem stories.

Learn how to confidently respond to anti-Israel claims and inspire others to want to learn more about Israel through this interactive workshop.
