Why the World Misreads Israel: Chosenness, Bias, and the Battle Over Truth

Rabbi Yitzchak Botton

How a tiny “blue dot” called Israel, surrounded by a sea of Islamic states, is labeled a colonial, apartheid oppressor while far harsher regimes are ignored. Explore human bias (we always favor “our side”), the discomfort with the Jewish claim of being “chosen,” and how Christian and Muslim replacement-theologies twisted that idea into resentment. How Jewish chosenness is a mission, not superiority, the call to be a “light unto the nations”, and why real tikkun olam starts with fixing ourselves before trying to fix the world.
