Just after one of the deadliest antisemitic massacres in recent history, in the midst of the Jewish feast of Hanukkah, and as violent antisemitism and anti-Israeli sentiment are on the rise, X Community Notes fueled the problem.
X Community Notes is always censorship, but its “approved” “fact-checkers” also frequently lie, deceive, or manipulate facts. Sometimes out-of-context facts are as pernicious as outright lies; nay, more so, for they wear a veneer of truth. That is why in the Bible the devil always mixes truth with his lies. And to discredit the heritage of the Jewish people in their ancient land of Israel, as X Community Notes did, is diabolical.
On Dec. 16, the state of Israel shared an archaeological find on X. “Another testimony that Jewish presence endured throughout centuries,” it celebrated.
An extraordinary discovery in Jerusalem 🕎✨

Linking to grossly biased Britannica, X Community Notes sneered, “1300 years ago Jerusalem was ruled by the Ummayad caliphate. Caliph Hisham bin abdl Malik ruled it from Damascus.” As if that has anything to say about whether there were Jews in Jerusalem then. But what the supposed fact-checker was trying to do is make it seem as if Israel was falsely establishing Jewish roots at a time when Muslims controlled Jerusalem, as if Muslims had a better right to the holy city because a long-gone Islamic invader and his vanished regime ruled Jews and Christians then.
As my mother noted, one might as well fact-check archeological evidence of Irish roots in Ireland from 1600 or 1850 because "the British Empire ruled Ireland then." Like the British in Ireland, the Umayyads — and all the other Islamic regimes over the centuries — were invaders. They arrived much later than the Christians and more than a millennium after the Jews to try to claim spiritual and political supremacy in the Judeo-Christian capital of Jerusalem.

It is also worth noting that X posts with Community Notes not only lose credibility in many eyes but they are demonetized and suppressed. So the Community Notes censor also ensured that fewer people would see the evidence of Jewish heritage in Jerusalem from 1300 years ago. Ironically, of course, we know the Jews can prove they were in Jerusalem thousands of years before that. But the censor is banking on users’ ignorance and gullibility.
The Applied Research Institute — Jerusalem mentioned the fact that the first Muslims to conquer Jerusalem in the seventh century (who were not the Umayyads) referred to Jerusalem as the “City of the Temple,” acknowledging it was the Jewish spiritual capital. The Byzantine Catholics ruled it before the Muslims invaded. The Umayyads replaced the previous caliphate in the late 7th century. Physician and author E.W.G. Masterman wrote that Jews were allowed in Jerusalem under Muslim rule. In the early years, there was some unified coordination amongst Muslims, Christians, and Jews, though that changed later. The main point is that the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem did not utterly destroy Jewish and Christian presence there, nor did it wipe out all traces of Jewish and Christian worship and culture.
The Al-Aqsa mosque complex and the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount were built over the foundations and ruins of the Jewish Temple that predates Islam by hundreds of years. Likewise, the Umayyad Caliphate's presence was built upon the subordination of the Jews and Christians, whose religions were older than Islam and will outlive that false and demonic religion also. The Umayyads are gone, and the Jews have reclaimed the homeland promised to them by God Himself thousands of years ago (Genesis 17:8) as a "perpetual possession."
X Community Notes is not only presenting deceptive history; it is literally defying God's promise to His Chosen People. Am Yisrael Chai.
