Betray Israel, Pay the Price

Collaborators with Israel’s enemies, kapos serving wannabe killers of Israelis and Israel-supporters, incite and enable violence and murder. They must be exposed, shunned, stripped of privileges, and barred from every Jewish and Israeli institution

For too long, we have watched a poisonous minority of people within our own nation stand shoulder to shoulder with the enemies of Israel, lending their names, money, and reputations to causes that seek our destruction. They claim “principle” while they march with Hamas sympathizers, sign petitions parroting the propaganda of genocidal terrorists, and harass Jewish students on campus. They claims to speak “as a Jew” against the Jewish nation and the Jewish consensus. Enough is enough. The result is predictable: more antisemitic violence, more blood spilled, and more legitimacy for those who want to erase the Jewish state from the map.

This is not dissent. This is collaboration. This is treason. And it must have a devastating, life- and career-changing cost.

Learning From the BDS Playbook

The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement was designed to isolate and economically damage Israel. Its leaders used shaming campaigns, blacklists, and targeted boycotts to intimidate individuals and institutions into severing ties with the Jewish state. They turned fear into a weapon.

It is time to turn that weapon back on them—especially on those within our own borders who lend moral cover to our enemies. If you march under a Hamas flag, if you donate to a group that calls for “from the river to the sea,” if you sign a letter accusing Israel of genocide while ignoring Hamas atrocities, you should expect your name to appear in a permanent, public record.

More than two dozen US states have passed legislation against BDS purveyors. Great. But we need to take the principle into the public domain, shaming each of them and denying them access to everything and anything Jewish or Israeli.

The Database of Betrayal

This is not about rumor or anonymous smears. Every name must be backed by hard proof: video evidence, public signatures, published statements, social media posts. The database should be searchable, accessible to synagogues, Jewish organizations, employers, universities, and government agencies.

Its purpose:

  • Deny betrayers entry to the State of Israel.
  • Bar them from any synagogue, mosque, church, or community platform.
  • Prevent them from holding leadership or academic positions in national institutions.
  • Ensure employers know exactly who they are considering for positions of trust or influence.
  • For Israeli citizens—Jew, Muslim, Christian, Druze, or any other religion or denomination—who side with the enemy or oppose Israel’s continued existence: strip their citizenship and expel them from the country.

Citizenship is not an unearned right. It is a covenant of loyalty and shared responsibility. Anyone who uses the privileges and protections of Israeli citizenship to undermine the rights, safety, and sovereignty of the State has forfeited that covenant.

The Mark of Cain for the Modern Age

In our tradition, Cain murdered his brother and bore a mark forever. Today’s mark is digital, indelible, and justified. When you side with those who would murder Israelis—of any faith—you brand yourself. The people of Israel have the right to remember, and to act accordingly.

We must strip away the false respectability these individuals wrap themselves in. No religious identity, no ethnic background, no political affiliation should shield anyone from the consequences of betraying the State.

Consequences That Deter

The point is not just to punish those already guilty, but to send a clear message to any citizen tempted to join an anti-Israel rally or sign a BDS petition: there will be a heavy price. This means social exclusion, loss of opportunities, permanent public association with betrayal—and for citizens of Israel, the loss of the right to remain part of the nation they have worked to undermine.

BDS worked because it made people afraid to be seen doing business with Israel. We must make people afraid to be seen aligning with Hamas, Hezbollah, or the BDS movement itself. Fim them. Photograph them. Copy and paste their images and their posts.

A Majority With the Power to Act

Israel’s loyal citizens—Jews, Christians, Muslims, Druze, and others—are still the overwhelming majority. We have the power—financial, organizational, and moral—to protect our own house. But if we allow traitors and informers to roam unchecked, to teach in our schools, to speak from our pulpits, to hold Israeli passports while siding with Israel’s enemies, we risk losing control over our own future.

No institution, religious or secular, should open its doors to those who stand with the enemies of Israel. No university in Israel should admit them. No government official should shake their hands. And no traitor—of any background—holding an Israeli passport should keep it.

The Line Is Drawn Here

We cannot change the fact that there will always be those willing to betray us. But we can ensure that betrayal has consequences so severe, so lasting, that the next potential traitor thinks twice.

Betray Israel, and you will pay the price. Not for a week, not for a year—but for as long as your betrayal stands recorded in history. That is how we protect the State of Israel. That is how we keep control of our own house. And that is how we ensure that enemies within never again feel safe using the rights of Israeli citizenship as a weapon against the very state that grants them those rights.

    This idea has been on my mind for ages! Meassures should defintively be taken in order to protect the jewish state and people from treason and jewish alignment with forces that directly threaten their security; To ostracise them and to shame them!
    However to take such meassures against someone who, out of personal conscience or pure naivlté, promotes non-zionist ideas, especially inside a jewish or israeli setting I think is taking it too far.
    Condemnation for treason should be reserved for those actively preaching and propagating for our demise to the outside world – those pleading to and building careers, acting as jewish alibis before audiences unaware of jewish culture of contradiction and badly informed of historical facts, people already prone to antisionist/Jew-hostile views. Attention-seeking individuals using distorted facts and selective badmouthing of our people! Fierce criticism and the holding of radically deviating ideas is perfectly acceptable, at least when vented inside a jewish community, but using such criticism against their own people and the jewish nation, towards an already hostile foreign audience: THAT IS treason or worse and should NOT be left without repercusions!
