I must say that lately the Academy Awards have not failed me. I can count on them to include material attacking Israel and the Jews. This year, the Academy nominated a documentary: No Other Land, that accuses Israel of ethnic cleansing in Judea/Samaria. Seems history is superfluous to the members of the Academy. Obviously, no other documentary had a chance. Last year’s Awards were filled with people wearing Artists4Ceasefire red pins and pins for Gaza after Gazan barbarians invaded Israel during a ceasefire. Jonathan Glazer’s anti-Israel speech was also special. No one seems to care about Christians in Nigeria being murdered by Muslims, but I digress.
I returned to Israel late January, 2025 and was there for a brief time. But one should never go to Israel without learning about our history.
I was taken to a place called Shiloh. There I stood on ancient ground, looking up at modern-day Shiloh in the hills of Samaria. I consider myself a well-educated Jew but had no knowledge of this place in Samaria. Samaria – part of our legal, biblical and historical land. This land has been ours from the beginning of recorded history. Learning about Shiloh in Samaria, one of the most important places in Jewish history, helps us to fight the horrific Occupation Lie.
Archeological “findings in Shiloh confirm what we have long known, that the history of the Jewish people and the Land of Israel are intimately connected. We can trace our beginnings to Judea and Samaria through the Bible and modern archaeology just confirms it for us. Today, we have come back to live and develop the hilltops and biblical sites, including Shiloh, that formed the cradle of Jewish civilization.”
And this is so important, now, as Judea/Samaria is once again under attack from Muslims, claiming ownership of Israel’s historical, biblical and legal land.
