Melanie Philips is a Palestine denier. The Palestinians are semites. Israel continues to commit genocide. You have lost the PR war. I will I found her remarks so repulsive I had to stop listening to her racist tirade.

The only upside here is that Melanie Philips reveals herself to be truly insane. Her elite clothes only make her case the more disgusting. WHo is she talking too?

She's talking to people who think like she does, who must traffic in insane lies to justify, at least in their minds, the extermination of Palestinian lives, indeed their very historical existence.

Palestinians are the actual descendants of the original biblical Jews that survived the Romans two thousand years ago. The genocide is being carried out against them by European Jewish Khazar converts claiming to be Jews, and who are not even descendants of Abraham.

Both the first President of the state of Israel Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, and the Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, believed that the Palestinians were descended from ancient Jews, especially Palestinian farmers. David Ben-Gurion wrote several books and articles on the subject. At the time there was no way to really know. However, genetics has progressed incredibly far, and we now know that Ben Gurion was correct. Palestinian farmers are the descendants of the Jews and more broadly Israelite’s who survived the Roman conquest. Look it up!

Palestinians are the real Israelite's. Palestinians are the chosen people, living in their promised land. Even though 22% of them were Christians, until recent years, it does not matter what religion they are today. They are the descendants of Abraham, that is all that matters.

Why do you think that it is illegal to have a DNA test done in Israel, except when necessary to establish paternity in legal cases? In other words, popular services like 23andMe are illegal in Israel.

They don’t want anyone to know the truth, that Israeli Jews are either European converts or Berbers from North Africa and Spain, that both converted to Judaism in the 8th Century when they came into conflict with Islam and Christianity and were given a choice. There is no ‘seed’ of Abraham, except for that carried by Palestinians, the original inhabitants of that land.

The Invention of the Jewish People … Paperback 373 pages– August 4, 2020

by Shlomo Sand (Author).. Professor of History Tel Aviv University.

Amazon REVIEW:

A historical tour de force that demolishes the myths and taboos that have surrounded Jewish and Israeli history, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a new account of both that demands to be read and reckoned with. Was there really a forced exile in the first century, at the hands of the Romans? Should we regard the Jewish people, throughout two millennia, as both a distinct ethnic group and a putative nation—returned at last to its Biblical homeland?

Shlomo Sand argues that most Jews actually descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered far across the Middle East and Eastern Europe. The formation of a Jewish people and then a Jewish nation out of these disparate groups could only take place under the sway of a new historiography, developing in response to the rise of nationalism throughout Europe.

After a long stay on Israel’s bestseller list, and winning the coveted Aujourd’hui Award in France, The Invention of the Jewish People is finally available in English.

Thank you Aaron. Excellent analysis of the utter insanity and depravity of the power driven, greed driven Powers That Be. Is that what it takes to make them feel even remotely alive?
