- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu falsely claims that Muslim jurist Amin al-Husseini incited Hitler to commit the Holocaust.
- The myth that Jewish slaves built the pyramids of Giza is debunked, as Hebrews did not exist during the 4th Dynasty (c. 2575–c. 2465 BCE).
- Recent archaeological evidence shows pyramid workers were skilled laborers, not slaves, with well-organized, hierarchical workforces.
- No archaeological evidence supports the presence or enslavement of Israelites in Egypt, contradicting the Exodus narrative.
- Historical falsities are often used politically to unite people behind grievances or claim ancient glory, which should be resisted.
