We are living through a propaganda war.

Every day brings headlines that distort, slogans that erase history, and false accusations repeated so often they begin to sound true. The goal of propaganda is not only to convince people of a lie. It is to exhaust the people who know better — to make them feel outnumbered and confused, and to make defending Jewish existence feel immoral or frightening.

There is nothing immoral or frightening about defending the Jewish people, because the facts are on our side.

The Facts Are On Our Side is not a book you read once. It is a study guide you work through and keep within reach — built by the team behind Found A Tribe, a global peer-support nonprofit formed by people who lost friends, careers, and communities after October 7th.

Learners walk away armed with confidence and the facts, because they are, indeed, on our side.

Inside the book

It comes in four parts.

Why you freeze. How to steady yourself. What is actually true. How to say it.

Part I

THE CALLING

An invitation to all truth seekers and truth warriors to arm themselves with the knowledge and confidence to meet the growing demands of a world with rising antisemitism.

Part II

EMOTIONAL REGULATION

The part no one else covers. Most of us have the words and still cannot say them, because the accusation lands as a threat before it lands as an argument. Drawing on the neurobiology of trauma, this section helps you recognize your own trigger responses, steady your nervous system in the moment, and find the advocacy style that actually fits you.

Two self-assessment quizzes included
Part III

THE FACTS

The top ten libels now deployed against Israel and the Jewish people — from apartheid to genocide — and three things for each: the history, dates, and names that dismantle it; the double standards it conceals; and short lines you can say out loud and remember.

Robust glossary + resources for further study
Part IV

THE PRACTICE

Where the learner masters the knowledge — one-liners, scenarios, and conversation drills, each with sample responses. Works as a stand-alone text for independent study, and as the workbook for our online workshops.

Identify the facts · Flip the script · Craft a punch
Free online workshops

Don’t just read it. Practice it.

Found A Tribe runs free online workshops to accompany the handbook. Small breakout groups, real conversations, and a framework you leave knowing how to use.

  1. Start with a conversation that went wrong

    Everyone arrives with one. The dinner table, the group chat, the colleague. We open by naming the moment where the words didn’t come.

  2. Work the framework in breakout rooms

    Identify the facts. Flip the script. Craft a punch. We apply the book’s method together — including to libels the book doesn’t cover, so you learn to use the tool, not just the examples.

  3. Rewrite the conversation

    We close by going back to where we started. You rewrite that conversation the way you wish it had gone — and this time, you have the words.

Facilitator training · once a month

We are searching for the next truth warrior teachers.

The Tribe can’t reach every synagogue, campus, office and group chat on its own. Once a month we train facilitators who can run the Facts Are On Our Side workshop in their own community — calmly, with facts, on offense.

  1. Apply below

    A few short questions so we know who you are and who you can reach.

  2. Train with us

    One live online session a month. You go through the full workshop as a participant, then learn to run it.

  3. Take it to your people

    Every facilitator leaves with a tool kit — slides, facilitator notes, worksheets and the handbook’s practice pages. Getting in front of an audience is up to you. That’s the job.

You must own a copy of the handbook to participate. The training is built page-by-page on The Facts Are On Our Side. Get it on Amazon →

Facilitator application

Takes about five minutes. Once we’ve read your answers we’ll point you to the next training date on the Tribe calendar.

We review applications personally. Facilitators represent the Tribe in public, so we take a little care about who we train.
