Together with Canadians for Israel’s Legal Rights (CILR), Im Tirtzu launched a new public campaign aimed at debunking the occupation lie.<\/span><\/p>\n

The utterly baseless notion that Israel occupies “Palestinian land” is one of the most pernicious lies used to discredit, demonize, and delegitimize the Jewish state and the Jewish people.<\/span><\/p>\n

This “Big Occupation Lie” has become the driving source of BDS and modern-day anti-Semitism, and with all the discourse surrounding the Deal of the Century it is critical to explain the simple truth that Jews are indigenous to the Land of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The campaign coincides with the 100th Anniversary of the seminal San Remo Conference, convened by the Allies of World War I in April 1920.<\/span><\/p>\n

The campaign is going on the offensive by creating and promoting a wide range of content debunking the “Big Occupation Lie,” including viral videos on social media; educational lectures in Israel and Canada; the distribution of advocacy materials throughout Israel and Canada; and large billboards in Israel’s major cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will also be hosting a high-profile conference in Israel in April 2020, which will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the San Remo Resolution.<\/span><\/p>\n
