In a powerful message, Yasmin Mohammed, Arab Co-Director of Clarity Coalition, dismantles one of the most effective propaganda tools used by political Islamist movements. 

She explains that the real indigenous people of the Land of Israel are the Jewish people — and that the narrative portraying “Palestinians” as indigenous while labeling Jews as “colonizers” is a deliberate inversion designed to deceive uninformed Western audiences.

According to Mohammed, political Muslims rely on co-opted anti-colonial language because Western activists respond emotionally to these terms without understanding the region’s history. By flipping reality — painting the indigenous Jews as foreign invaders and the Arab populations as native victims — groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Iranian regime win the PR war despite being the true aggressors.
