This Isn't Occupation – It's Coming Home to the Heartland.

Welcome to Episode 8 of "The Blade - The Sword of Gideon," where we reclaim the narrative about Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria. Today we're not defending settlements – we're explaining why Jews returning to their ancestral homeland isn't colonialism, it's coming home.

In this historical episode, we destroy the settlement mythology and reveal the real history of Jewish connection to this land. You'll learn why Hebron, Bethel, and Shiloh aren't "occupied territories" – they're the heartland of Jewish civilization.
