The Jewish people do not exist, it is an invented nation
Shlomo
Sand, professor of European History at the University of Tel Aviv, has just
published "When and how the Jewish people were invented", where he
questions some principles of the official Zionist history.
The book has
remained four weeks on the list of best sellers in Israel, something Sand does
not quite understand. In return he has had to pay the toll of receiving
anonymous where he is threatened and insulted, calling him kelev natzi masria (stinking
Nazi dog) and other niceties. However, he does not seem very worried. The book
contains two theses that in the past had a certain predicament, also among
Zionist historians, but which have now been shelved: that the current Jews come
from pagan peoples who converted to Judaism far from Palestine, and therefore
do not descend from the ancient Jews, and that the Arab Palestinians are the
only descendants of the ancient Jews.
