When journalist Elena González is sent to cover a pro-Palestine protest at Columbia University, she expects another routine story about righteous anger and occupation. What she finds instead is something far more dangerous: a crowd chanting “From the river to the sea,” a Jewish student bleeding on the grass, and a growing chorus insisting that “Palestine has existed for thousands of years.”

As Elena digs deeper, she encounters facts that contradict everything she thought she knew. A Roman coin stamped Judaea Capta. Genetic evidence of continuous Jewish presence. Ottoman records and British Mandate documents showing no sovereign Arab state called Palestine—ever. Gulf money flowing into universities to protect a modern myth. And an internal strategy memo that openly admits history must be subordinated to “political utility.”

What begins as professional curiosity becomes a personal reckoning. Elena is threatened, fired, and doxxed. But she is no longer alone. With the help of a bruised Jewish student and a quiet archaeologist, she releases an explosive archive of primary sources that shatters the narrative the protesters refuse to question.

The Zero Point Two is a gripping novelette about one journalist’s journey into the heart of the oldest hatred in new clothing. It is a story of manufactured myth, moral reversal, and the dangerous power of historical illiteracy—told through a thriller that asks a single, urgent question:

When 0.2% of humanity is blamed for every evil, who is really being erased?
