Why This Article Exists
Because my post got removed.
Not because it violated community standards.
But because it violated the comfort zone of the misinformed.
What you're about to read was originally a heartfelt, history-rooted post on LinkedIn, until it got taken down.
No abuse.
No hate speech.
Just inconvenient facts, presented with truth, poetry, and pride.
I’m just a common man.
No political office.
No media house.
No power.
Yet somehow, my words were powerful enough to trigger an algorithm, or maybe a few fragile egos.

So I decided to do what our ancestors did:
Preserve the memory.
Document the truth.
Tell the story anyway.
This isn’t a rant.
It’s resistance through remembrance.
You’re not here by accident.
You're here because some truths demand to be read,
especially the ones someone tried to silence.
Scroll down.
And walk with me through 3,000 years of pain, exile, memory…and survival.
Israel History
They say you only live once.
But the Jews?
They lived.
They were shattered.
Scattered.
Hunted.
And then…rose from ashes — not once, but for 3,000 years.
This is Israel History.
You don’t love people like that out of sympathy.
You love them because they make death look like a detour.
What if I told you…the most misunderstood, misrepresented people on Earth are also the most unkillable?
What if I told you…the world didn’t just try to erase them from land —but from memory?
And failed.
Every. Single. Time.
This Isn’t Politics. This Is Proof of the Impossible.
I don’t love Israel because of diplomacy or deals.
I love it because it’s living proof that you can exile a people, burn their scriptures, mock their prophets, destroy their temples —and still not kill their return.
And like India…
They don’t bow.
They don’t beg.
They rebuild.
The Ancient Beginning – 1200 BCE
Before the maps, before the arguments…
It was Canaan,
not Palestine,
not Arabia.
A wild desert tribe made a covenant with an invisible God.
King David unified tribes.
King Solomon built the First Temple.
Jerusalem wasn’t just a capital.
It was the center of gravity for the soul.
Babylon Burns the Temple – 586 BCE
The Temple was destroyed.
The leaders were exiled to Mesopotamia.
But Jews didn’t raise armies.
They raised verses.
"Next year in Jerusalem," they whispered.
Every Passover.
Every exile.
Every era.
Rome Erases a People – 70 CE
The Second Temple was destroyed.
The land was renamed “Palestina”,
not to describe it, but to humiliate its people.
It wasn’t just exile.
It was psychological obliteration.
For 2,000 years, the Jews wandered stateless,
across Europe, Asia, North Africa —becoming both ghosts and targets.
From Ghettos to Gas Chambers
They were blamed for plagues, for famines, for killing Jesus.
They were expelled from:
England (1290),
France (1306),
Spain (1492).
In Eastern Europe?
They were forced into ghettos, then marched into pogroms.
And just when the world thought it had finished them…
The Holocaust – Humanity’s Darkest Hour
The 20th century brought a nightmare wrapped in efficiency.
Murdered.
Systematically.
Silently.
No army.
No oil.
No allies.
Only ash,
smoke, and
forgotten names.
The world looked away.
The Jews didn’t seek vengeance.
They sought home.
1948 – A Miracle Called Israel
In a land they never forgot —Israel was reborn.

The world gave them a sliver.
The Arabs gave them war.
Within 24 hours.
Five nations invaded.
Israel held.
Egypt
Invaded from the south via the Sinai Peninsula.
Their objective: Capture the Negev and link up with other Arab forces in central Palestine.
Jordan (then known as Transjordan)
The best-trained Arab force, the Arab Legion, entered from the east.
Captured East Jerusalem and the West Bank — and held it until 1967.
Syria
Entered from the northeast through the Golan Heights.
Aimed to push into the Galilee region.
Iraq
Sent troops through Jordan to attack central Israel.
Although not a direct neighbor, they played a substantial role in the battlefront.
Lebanon
Entered from the north.
Conducted limited military operations but joined in the coordinated assault.
No miracle.
Just memory.
And a promise.
Since then?
Intifadas
Terrorist bombings
Hamas rockets
Hezbollah raids
Iranian threats
UN condemnations
Academic boycotts
Media distortions
Still, they build.
Still, they breathe.
What Truly Scares the World?
Not Mossad.
Not Netanyahu.
Not nukes.
But this:
That a people who were turned to ash refuse to forget who they are.
That they don’t apologize for pride.
That they turn wounds into stone.
That they walk through history holding both sword and scripture.
This is what ideology fears.
Not weapons.
But memory.
India & Israel: Two Civilizations, One Soul
India understands.
We too carry scars older than empires.

We too were partitioned, betrayed, bled, and rebuilt.
We too fight not for conquest, but for continuity.
That’s why Israel loves India. And India loves Israel.
Because we don’t just share diplomacy.
We share civilization trauma — and civilizational pride.
So Let Me Ask You:
What kind of world fears the ones who build, but celebrates the ones who burn?
Why are the loudest protestors often the least historically literate?
I’m not here to be right.
I’m here to remember.
Because the truth?
It outlives the lie.
Every. Single. Time.
Let’s Talk.
If you made it this far, you didn’t just read a Article.
You walked through a 3,000-year story that the world keeps trying to bury.
But truth…doesn’t die.
It just waits.
Thanks for this article. Such statements of truth are a rarity.
Good post!! Hope this cannot be erased!!
