Lies move faster than truth online. False narratives about Israel are being normalized, Jewish communities are being targeted, and Biblical truth is being distorted. In the time it takes to read this, over 100 antisemitic posts can appear on a single platform. Rise Above the Lies is an initiative of Christians United for Israel, created to confront antisemitism with clarity, courage, and truth.
Lies & Facts
Rise Above the Lies responds to misinformation with documented facts and real stories. We confront falsehoods, provide historical context, and affirm our shared humanity — equipping you to stand thoughtfully and confidently against hatred.
Lie
“Antisemitism isn’t a real problem—it’s overblown.”
Truth
The data says otherwise. Jews remain the #1 target of religious hate crimes in America.
Lie
“Jews are the oppressors.”
Truth
Jewish history is defined not by domination, but by persecution, survival, and resilience. To twist that history into a narrative of oppression is morally bankrupt.
Lie
“Jews controlled or were responsible for the transatlantic slave trade.”
Truth
This claim is an antisemitic fabrication, not history. Jews played no disproportionate role in the slave trade and had no control over its operations. Leading historians reject this lie outright.
Lie
“The Talmud insults or attacks Jesus.”
Truth
This accusation is a medieval antisemitic distortion. Jewish texts do not focus on Jesus, and the passages often cited are misidentified, mistranslated, or unrelated. Serious scholars reject this claim entirely.
Lie
“The Jewish lobby controls American politicians.”
Truth
No lobby—Jewish or otherwise—controls American leaders. This lie is a repackaged conspiracy theory meant to portray Jews as puppet-masters. Jewish Americans make up about 2% of the population and advocate legally and transparently, just like every other community.
Lie
“Israel pays American politicians.”
Truth
There is zero evidence for this accusation. U.S. law bans foreign governments—including Israel—from funding political campaigns. This claim is not political analysis; it is an antisemitic conspiracy meant to paint Jews and Israel as corrupting American democracy.
Lie
“October 7 was staged by Israel, faked, or done by Israel to themselves.”
Truth
The October 7 massacre was carried out by Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization. The evidence—video, satellite imagery, forensics, eyewitness accounts, international investigations, and Hamas’s own admissions—is overwhelming. Pretending otherwise is Holocaust-style denial.
Lie
“It was impossible for 6 million Jews to be murdered because the cremation ovens couldn’t handle that many victims.”
Truth
This is Holocaust denial, not history. The Nazis murdered Jews through mass shootings, gas chambers, forced starvation, disease, ghettos, death marches, and more. Crematoria were only one method of disposal—not the basis for determining the death toll. The six million figure is verified by German records, forensic evidence, demographics, eyewitness testimony, and postwar tribunals.
Lie
“Anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism.”
Truth
Criticism of policy is fair game. But denying Jews the right to self-determination, or calling for the end of the world’s only Jewish state, is antisemitism. Anti-Zionism today routinely targets Jews, erases Jewish peoplehood, and seeks to dismantle Israel. That is not debate—that is hate.
Lie
“Zionism is racism.”
Truth
Zionism is the movement for Jewish self-determination in the Jewish ancestral homeland. It is not racism, supremacism, or colonialism—and the UN itself eventually recognized the falsehood of that claim and repealed it. Calling Zionism “racism” is an attempt to delegitimize Jewish identity itself.
