Is the Old Testament Zionist? | Real Talk | PragerU

City of David's Director of International Affairs, Ze’ev Orenstein joins PragerU CEO @realtalkwithmarissa to discuss the growing international campaign to erase Israel’s biblical and historical roots. From UNESCO’s refusal to acknowledge Jewish heritage sites to claims that King David never existed, Orenstein lays out archaeological and historical evidence showing that the Bible affirms Jewish presence in the land of Israel for thousands of years. He also explains how these efforts to rewrite history are part of a broader political agenda to delegitimize the modern Jewish state.
