*This article is an answer the UK’s Campaign Against Antisemitism introducing a libalist four-part video series on Instagram titled “Debunked: Black Hebrew Israelites.” This was paid and directed by Zionist sources of information who have financial and political reasons to skew evidence and misrepresent the arguments of Hebrew Israelites world wide. Why We Must Speak the Truth in Love   In recent years, the identity of the Hebrew Israelites has become a hot-button topic across media, religious platforms, and political discussions. We’ve been labeled many things — some of them harsh, untrue, and intentionally misleading. Words like “extremist,” “cult,” or “antisemitic” are thrown around recklessly, all in an effort to delegitimize the awakening of a people. But why is our identity so controversial? And why is it so important that we defend it? Let’s be clear from the start: this is not about hate. This is about truth. The Hebrew Israelite movement is about restoration — a spiritual, cultural, and national return to the covenant YAHUAH made with our ancestors. And when false accusations are hurled against us, we must respond, not with rage, but with Scripture, wisdom, and love for our people. We’ll walk through historical evidence, biblical prophecy, and spiritual clarity to affirm who we are and why it matters. Let’s begin with the foundation: our identity. Who Are the Real Israelites According to Scripture?   Scattered and Suffering — The Signs of the Covenant Broken   Many people today identify the Israelites by geography or modern politics, but the Bible identifies them by the curses and signs placed on them for disobedience. In Deuteronomy 28, YAHUAH lays out the blessings for obedience and the curses for rebellion. These curses would be signs upon the people forever (Deuteronomy 28:46). Deuteronomy 28:68 (KJV) says: “And the ELOHIM shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.” This verse alone eliminates modern-day Israel as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy. No other group was taken into captivity by ships, sold as male and female slaves, and abandoned with no deliverer—except the so-called African Americans, Caribbeans, and other descendants of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. It was our people who fit this description. Not metaphorically — literally. Deuteronomy 28:37 “And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the ELOHIM shall lead thee.” What other group is more mocked, more stereotyped, more slandered than our people? We were scattered, forgotten, and called everything except what we truly are: the children of Israel. (See our book, The Chosen Seed: Predestination) The Accusation of Antisemitism — A Weapon Against Awakening   The Term “Antisemitism” Is Misused   We must address the elephant in the room — the accusation that Hebrew Israelites are “antisemitic.” But ask yourself: how can the descendants of Shem be antisemitic? The term “Semite” comes from Shem, one of Noah’s sons. Hebrews descend from Shem, through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That includes us. We are Semites. So when people use this term against us, they’re twisting it. It’s often used not to protect truth but to silence uncomfortable facts. To question who modern “Jews” are is not to hate them. It’s to ask biblical, historical, and genealogical questions that deserve honest answers. That they are obviously not willing to answer or engage with. Romans 9:6-8 (KJV) “For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.” Paul tells us plainly — not all who claim Israelite lineage are counted as Israel. It’s not just about bloodlines; it’s about promise, covenant, obedience, and spirit. (See our book, What Is the Gospel?) The State of Israel and Prophetic Mismatch   Does Modern Israel Align with Prophecy?   Many claim that the 1948 establishment of Israel fulfills biblical prophecy. But let’s examine the Word. Isaiah 11:11-12 (KJV) “And it shall come to pass in that day, that the ELOHIM shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people…And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.” This gathering is divine, not political. It involves the whole world, not just Europe and America. And most importantly, it leads to righteous rule under Yahushua, not secular governance. Furthermore, Ezekiel 20:33-38 shows us that before returning to the land, Israel would first go into the wilderness to be purged and judged. That hasn’t happened. The current Israeli government is secular. LGBTQ+ parades are hosted in Jerusalem. Abortion, atheism, and military pride thrive. This is not the land of righteousness that the Most High promised would come when His people returned. It is a counterfeit and was created to decieve the whole world. This is similar to the father of lies talked about in the book of Revelation decieving humanity into taking his ways on rather than YAHUAH’s. The people who push this deception are either decieved themselves or are acting as children of the deciever knowingly trying to empower their father Ha’shatan.

We were chosen, not for glory, but to be a light. Deuteronomy 7:6 (KJV) “For thou art an holy people unto YAHUAH thy ELOHIM: the ELOHIM hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are
