The collection consists of over 400 authentic documents, maps, and items, with the earliest dating back to 1882.
Some significant examples:
1. An original copy of the 1937 Peel Commission
2. Paperwork for Palestinian citizenship during the British Mandate.
3. A letter signed by the first IDF Chief of Staff.
4. A newspaper from East Jerusalem that was produced for over 25 years, up until 1993.

If you know of an exhibit, museum, or academic researcher seeking historical documents, I’d be happy to loan pieces from my collection, which focuses on early Zionism (pre-Israel), Palestinian Nationalism, IDF fought wars, and Mandatory Palestine.

A snippet from one of the lectures:
"The Power of Lies: Disinformation's Role in Sparking Chaos and Conflict."
In this section, I discussed how public WhatsApp groups, fueled by hatred, fake news, and lack of police oversight, contributed to the 2021 Bat Yam lynching.

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of representing
@fakereporter.bsky.social at Limmud 2024, where I discussed the critical challenges we face daily—from managing the spread of fake news during crises to understanding the severe repercussions of misinformation that we share and spread online.

The claim doesn’t even originate from this anonymous X account.
It started with an anonymous Reddit post by a user named “Kid-n-Pay”, who claims to be a radar operator with knowledge of major agencies and what’s happening.
Zero evidence is provided - Just unverified claims from an anonymous.

The Daily Mail's claim is allegedly based on a post by Charlie Kirk, an American political activist, who supposedly wrote: “We are fucked. Drones are Project Blue Beam.”
Except, he didn’t write that. An anonymous X account, unaffiliated with Charlie Kirk, did.

This sounds serious, right?
That a "Trump Insider" told the Daily Mail that drones spotted in NJ are part of a government project called “Blue Beam”—a conspiracy claiming the government will fake an alien invasion to enforce a global totalitarian regime.
Only issue? They didn’t.

I found this piece roughly 10 years ago, and have always wondered what it belonged to. I assume it was a part of some type of artillery shell?
It was found in a forest next to Karmiel in northern Israel - Any insight is greatly appreciated!
