The Rise of a Dangerous Lie
Across media outlets, religious blogs, and even political discourse, there’s a growing narrative that labels Hebrew Israelites as “antisemitic extremists.” This accusation is not made in a vacuum. It is part of a coordinated effort by powerful Zionist-right and Christian Zionist groups to silence, discredit, and marginalize those who challenge the dominant narratives about Israel and “who true Israel is.”
But for anyone rooting their identity in Torah, the prophets, and the history of Israel, calling the true descendants of Israel “antisemitic” is not only absurd—it contradicts their very existence. Antisemitism was originally crafted against them, and for them to be called antisemitic is like accusing the light of darkness.
This article will examine why the accusation is false, the forces pushing it, and the spiritual roots behind it.
Hebrew Israelites Cannot Be Antisemitic — They Are Semitic
To be antisemitic is to hate Semitic people. Who are the Semites? Among them are the descendants of Shem—Yashar’el (Israel) included. The Hebrew Israelite movement asserts, with Scripture, that the people scattered across Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and elsewhere are of the tribes of Yashar’el—true Israelites.
-
Genesis 10:21–31 traces Shem’s lineage.
-
Numbers 26, 1 Chronicles 5–7 list the tribes of Israel from Jacob and his sons.
For Hebrew Israelites to hate or be hostile toward their own people (which is what being “antisemitic” would require) would be self-contradictory and self-destructive.
Also:
-
Jeremiah 14:2 (KJV):
“Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.”
This indicates that the tribe of Judah (one of the twelve tribes), in the Scriptures, is darkened and afflicted—matching the history and identity of many in the Hebrew Israelite community.
-
Deuteronomy 28:64 (KJV):
“And the ELOHIM shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other…”
This scattering (diaspora) prophecy matches the historical dispersion of Israelites into captivation—especially relating to Black and African people—who’ve endured slavery, colonialism, Jim Crow, etc.
Outside source support: Scholarly works on Christian Zionism and Israel show how Christian Zionist groups often conflate Israel (the modern political state) with Israel (the descendants of Yashar’el in the Bible), pushing a narrative that misplaces identity and heritage. This misplacement is part of the backlash against Hebrew Israelites’ reclaiming of identity. For example, The Dangerous Exceptionalism of Christian Zionism (Al-Shabaka) critiques the theological underpinnings that privilege the state above covenant people. Al-Shabaka
The Zionist Machine: Why Israeli & Christian Zionist Institutions Feel Threatened
What is being defended when Hebrew Israelites are called “antisemitic”? What underlying truths are being protected?
-
Legitimacy: Modern Israeli Zionism claims to be fulfillment of biblical prophecy: that modern Jews in Israel represent “God’s” people in covenant. When Hebrew Israelites say we are Israel, they undermine that claim.
-
Christian Zionism: Many evangelical and pentecostal churches see Israel (modern state) as central to their eschatology. Funding, political alliances, foreign policy, and spiritual narrative are built around supporting this version of “Israel.” When alternative claimants arise, these institutions lose control over narrative and theological leverage.
-
Media & Political Influence: Organizations like the ADL, think tanks, Christian Zionist TV ministries, and political lobbies often align to defend the narrative that the state of Israel equals true Israel. Criticism or identity claims from Hebrew Israelites are labeled “hate” or “antisemitism” in order to protect donors, political power, and public image. The Dangerous Exceptionalism of Christian Zionism suggests some Christian Zionist ideologies anticipate the destruction of non-Zionist Jews and others. Al-Shabaka
The Desperate Smear Campaign Against Truth
This coordinated labeling is not accidental—it’s strategic. Some techniques used:
-
Equating Hebrew Israelite speech with hate speech
-
Funding think tanks and academic papers that frame identity as antisemitic when it diverges from Zionist narratives
-
Media stories that highlight out-of-context quotes
-
Censorship or deplatforming of Hebrew Israelite content
These acts are signs of desperation. When the truth rises, the opposition attacks:
-
Francisco Ribera’s futurist system (Jesuit origin) laid much of the groundwork for the prophetic interpretations Christian Zionists use today. Ribera, a Jesuit priest, promoted futurism to rewrite who the Antichrist would be and detach many prophetic fulfillments from the present. Lutheran Library Publishing Ministry
-
The misuse of passages like Revelation 2:9 (“synagogue of Satan”) by Zionist defenders to label Hebrew Israelites as false anti‑Semites rather than recognizing that prophetic identity of those who “say they are Jews and are not, but do lie.” (KJV)
The campaign is coordinated internationally—political, religious, and media institutions—because they have the same interest in keeping Israel defined by state ideology, not by prophetic lineages.
Satanic Foundations: Zionism, Christian Zionism, & the Spirit of Anti‑Messiah
When we say “satanic foundations,” it is not hyperbole—it means rooted in spiritual deception, false identity, and worship of power over covenant.
Scripture warns about false prophets, false Christs, and deception in end times:
-
2 Thessalonians 2:3–4 (KJV):
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition… so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
-
Zionist ideology often elevates the political state, military might, and global image to a place where they are worshiped or defended beyond ethical, moral, or scriptural bounds.
-
Revelation 13 describes beasts that command worship, compel allegiance, deceive nations—all hallmarks of ideologies that replace YAH’s covenant with political, militaristic systems.
Historical sources:
-
The Origin of Dispensational Futurism notes that Francisco Ribera’s work in the late 1500s was part of the Counter-Reformation, an attempt by Jesuits to reinterpret prophecy in ways that preserved Catholic Church power by projecting evil into a distant future. Lutheran Library Publishing Ministry
Christian Zionism’s modern political base often aligns with ideologies that promote ethnic nationalism, militarization, and geopolitical dominance. Critics like The Dangerous Exceptionalism of Christian Zionism argue this supports oppressive policies and suppresses dissent. Al-Shabaka
Thus, Zionism and Christian Zionism are not just political or theological errors—they are spiritual dangers that fulfill prophecy of deception before the return of YAHUSHUA.
Biblical Prophecy Warned Us About These Attacks
Prophecy in the Scriptures clearly envisioned a time when truth would be suppressed and lies would be given authority:
-
Isaiah 5:20 (KJV):
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness…”
-
2 Timothy 3:1‑5 warns that in the last days people will be lovers of themselves, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient—accepting false teachings easily.
-
Matthew 24:9‑14 — persecution, betrayal, false prophets; believers will be hated for truth.
We see all of this unfolding now: Hebrew Israelites being attacked for proclaiming identity; being shut down or called hateful when they preach covenant truth; accused of “antisemitism” for pointing out Zionist injustices. These are prophecy in motion—the smearing of the righteous, the rise of false narrative.
Standing Boldly in Truth Despite the Lies
Their lies cannot stand when confronted with covenant, prophecy, and reality. Hebrew Israelites are not antisemitic. They are reclaiming identity. The Zionist and Christian Zionist institutions who attack them are defending agendas, not truth.
“Thy Word is truth.” — John 17:17 (KJV)
Stand on the Word. Continue to teach the truth of Torah. Let no smear stop the voice of covenant.
