Who or what exactly are the Jews?

According to the article "The Wandering Who?" by Gilad Azmon, an Israeli, commenting on the recent book by the Israeli historian Professor Shlomo Sand it is a difficult question to answer.

It seems the Jews who have made vociferous claims about Palestine being their national home and accusations about "anti-Semitism" are now changing their tune and going so far as to claim that the Jewish people were only invented recently - in Germany!

Sand regards nationality as a fantasmic narrative

"it is an established fact (by whom?) that the origins of different so-called people or nations lead towards a crumbling of every ethnic identity."

" the truth of the Bible or any other narrative has very little relevance as long as it does not interfere with the Jewish national/political cause or practice."

Azmon goes on to say:

"Since no single Jewish historical text has been written between the lst century and the early 19th century, the fact is that Judaism is based on a religious historical myth. An adequate scrutiny of the Jewish past was never a primary concern within the rabbinical tradition. For the Jew who lived in ancient times and the Middle Ages, there was enough in the Bible to answer most relevant questions to do with day-to-day life.

In Palestine the "new Jews" and later the Israelis were determined to recruit the Old Testament and to transform it into an amalgamate code of the future Jew. The nationalisation of the Bible was intended to plant in young Jews the idea that they are direct followers of their great ancient ancestors.

Bearing in mind that nationalisation was largely a secular movement, the Bible was stripped of its spiritual and religious meaning and instead viewed as an historical text describing a real chain of events in the past.

In their effort to resurrect Jerusalem, archaelogy was recruited to provide the Zionist ethos with its necessary scientific ground. It didn't take long before the embarassing truth filtered out and archaelogical research proved it would be impossible to ground the truthfulness of the biblical tale on forensic evidence. Excavation revealed that the Bible is a collection of innovative,. fictitious literature.

Not much was found in Sinai to prove the story of the legendary Egyptian Exodus whilst the Biblical resettlement and the genocide of the Canaanite is another myth. Jericho that was flattened by the sound of horns and Almighty intervention was just a tiny village during the 13th century BC. Israel regards itself as the resurrection of the monumental kingdom of David and Solomon but the excavation that took place in the old city of Jerusalem in the 1970s revealed that David's kingdom was no more than a tiny tribal settlement. Evidence that referred to King Solomon was refuted by forensic tests made with Carbon 14. The Bible is a fictional tale."

(The story of Moses and the bullrushes is borrowed from ancient Mesopotamian literature. Preserved in Babylonian tablets the ancestry of Sargon, king of Akkad (2340 to 2284B.C.) is quoted thus:

"Sargon, the mighty king, king of Akkade, am I. My mother was an en-priestess(?), my father I never knew. .....She conceived me, my en-priestess mother, in concealment she gave me birth. Set me in a wicker basket,.... She cast me down into the river ... The river bore me... Aqqi the water drawer did raise me as his adopted son."

Noah is also borrowed this time from the story of Gilgamesh).

The Jewish communities in eastern Europe, i.e. the Ashkenazi, who are the main occupants of what was Palestine, are descendants of the Khazars of Turkish/Mongol origin.

Azmon says:

"If Sand is correct and I myself am convinced by the strength of his argument, then Jews are not a race but rather a collective of very many people who are largely hijacked by a late phantasmic national movement. If Jews are not a race, do not form a racial continuum and have nothing to do with Semitism then 'anti-Semitism' is categorically an empty signifier."

His final comment is pertinent:

"To stand by the Palestinians is to save the world, but in order to do so we have to be courageous enough to stand up and admit that it is not merely a political battle. It is not just Israel, or its army or its leadership it is actually a war against a cancerous spirit that highjacked the West and at least momentarily diverted it from its humanist inclinations and its Athenian aspirations. To fight a spirit is far more difficult than fighting people.

The book by Professor Sand and the article by Gilad Azmon, are classic examples of part truths with the intention of drawing the wool over the eyes of the sheep. Curiously, no mention is made of the Talmud. Certainly no Jew writes anything without the consent of fellow Jews. They are the most cohesive group on earth - a product of many generations of in-breeding. THAT is their strength and they are no doubt aware that the Bible (their Torah) was another fraud pulled off on the ever-gullible Gentiles.

Judaism and its beginnings

What better place can there be in the search for the beginnings of Judaism than the Encyclopaedia Judaica, the Universal Jewish Encyclopaedia and the Jewish Encyclopaedia. The oldest of these, the Jewish Encyclopaedia, gives a new perspective on the inner teachings of Judaism, a perspective well known to most religious Jews.

Most Christians believe that the Judaism of the Old Testament is very similar to Judaism today. Yet the Jewish Encyclopaedia in its article on Judaism says:

"Modern Judaism and the Judaism of the Old Testament are very different."

It continues :

"... after Nebuchanezzar conquered Judah in the sixth century BC and led the Jews to distant Babylon, the Jews were faced with challenges to their faith that they had never before experienced. Ever since the time of Solomon the religion of Israel had centred around the magnificent (?) temple in Jerusalem with its sacrifices and ritual. The question now became how could one be a true Jew in a very foreign and hostile environment? The need arose for a certain class of lay priests called scribes to interpret the law in this new setting and make it workable. In time the scribes became what the New Testament calls "scribes and Pharisees" the greatest legal authorities of Israel for all ages.:

The Pharisees said that there were two inspired revelations to the Jews. There was the written law of Moses received atop Mount Sinai but there was also the oral tradition acquired by 70 Elders who came to the base of the mountain but were forbidden to proceed further. The Pharisees said that these 70 Elders, or Sanhedrin, received much more extensive and profound revelations than were received by Moses and took precedence over the written law."

The Talmud was not written down until nearly five centuries after Christ yet its critical even homicidal attitude to Gentiles might have been lifted out of the Book of Joshua.

When Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans, the Jewish Encyclopaedia describes the new role of the Pharisees :

"With the destruction of the Temple the Sadducees disappeared altogether leaving the regulation of all Jewish affairs in the hands of the Pharisees. Henceforth Jewish life was regulated by the Pharisees. The whole history of Judaism was reconstructed from the Pharisees' point of view. Phariseeism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and part of the Jew for all of the future."

The majority of Jews were already in Babylon and had been there since the time of Nebucanezzar 600 years earlier. Babylon became the acknowledged land of refuge for world Jewry. In Babylon for another 1000 years Judaism flourished under the leadership of the Pharisees. Great academies of the rabbis were established and thousands of new laws formulated by the same Pharisees who killed Jesus Christ and remained the undisputed rulers of Judaism.

In Babylon the Pharisees codified their oral tradition into the Babylonian Talmud a written form of that oral tradition which Jesus so bitterly rebuked: The Talmud revealed how deep was Israel's apostasy. When they turned their backs on the old tradition and produced the Talmud, a work which has aptly been called "a monument to human folly".

When Jesus came on the scene his reaction was to denounce this counterfeit tradition and he said that:

"The Pharisees by their tradition had made the law of God of nul effect."

He considered the Pharisees

"the most dangerous leadership Israel ever had".

Christ also called the Pharisees "adulterers". The Talmud supplies generous loop-holes for adultery. The Talmud's hatred was probably directed against the Christian Jews, evasively referred to by various names, who were considered by the rabbis to be the most dangerous form of heretics of ancient times .

The Talmud also helps to understand the basis of Christ's unflattering descriptions of the Pharisees as "hypocrites, children of hell".

The Talmud confirms Christ's words. In the Talmud an extensive passage describes the right of the Pharisees to kill anyone, just as long as it is done indirectly. In such an indirect manner the Pharisees killed Christ, manipulating the Romans to actually wield the sword. The Pharisees claimed, as their descendants do to-day, that since the Romans were the direct cause of the death of Christ it is the Romans, not the Jews who are guilty.

There are of dozens of endorsements of child sex :

"A proselyte under the age of three years and a day is permitted to marry a priest"

"When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing for when a girl is less than three years and a day it is as if one put the finger in the eye." (The footnote to this passage says: "as Jews come to the eye again and again so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years.")

The same section confirms that sexual activity with small boys is in the same category.

"Intercourse with a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act"

The Jewish Encyclopaedia in its article continuously illustrates the Talmudic hatred of Christianity. Indeed the quickest way to grasp the Talmudic view of Gentiles is from the Jewish Encyclopaedias.

The New Testament gospels were writings which the rabbis considered more dangerous for the unity of Judaism than those of the pagans. A Talmudic rabbi says : "the writings of Christians deserve to be burned for paganism is less dangerous".

The Talmud gave the Jews an ethic which encouraged bigotry and isolation and invited persecution By the 11th century the inhabitants of Babylon expelled the Jews to the west.

Migrating across north Africa and Central Europe the great majority of Jews who had lived in Babylon for almost 1600 years now began to find their destinies in the West, but in coming to the West the Jews found their Christian neighbours extremely intolerant of the anti-social deviations the Jews had taken for granted in Babylon. In order to survive it was necessary to abandon such Babylonian traditions but that was not as easy as it sounds, for a thousand years the Pharisees had commanded such deviations.

Gradually over the centuries Jews have abandoned the immoral practices of the Talmud. In fact most Jews are so ignorant of the Talmud itself that they do not even know that such teachings exist within their sacred literature.

When the Jews came to the West in the Middle Ages and attempted to accommodate the Talmud to Christian society a tremendous conflict was created. In Babylon Judaism could be perfectly consistent with the teachings of the Pharisees because the Babylonians were immoral as well yet in the Christian lands of the west it became necessary to pretend that many of those teachings did not exist. Even today religious Jews continue to venerate the Pharisees and their Talmud as the greatest source of light that Judaism will ever know. Yet living in Christian lands no Jew can fully perform what the Pharisees commanded.

This conflict in Jewish responsibility has created a dilemma over the last one thousand years from which Jews in the West have not emerged.

In the 12th century another dilemma was being created in Judaism far to the east. This was a dilemma not concerning the doctrines of the Jews but over who actually was a Jew?

In their articles on Khazars the Jewish Enclopaedias say that in the 8th century AD Jewish missionaries ventured north of Babylon to the land of the Khazars between the Caspian and the Black Seas. Khazaria was a vast grassland on what is now southern Russia inhabited by a race of merchants, artisans and warriors of Hunnish/Turkish stock. About 740 AD the king of the Khazars converted to Judaism and made it the state religion. Incredibly within a few centuries the people of Khazaria convinced themselves that they were not Gentiles after all but physical descendants of Abraham. Thus by the 10th century a nation of proselyte Jews thrived in what is now central Russia.

During the Middle Ages, the Mongols from the east and Russians from the north drove the Khazars to the west out of their ancient homeland. Most settled in eastern Europe, especially Poland, where they established communities of artisans and traders. Judaism thus became divided into two basic groups which remain today - the Ashkenazim who are the Khazars from the east and the Sephardic oriental who are Jews from Spain, Turkey and lands bordering on the Mediterranean. Today the Ashkenazim or Khazars are the vast majority - about 80% - of those that call themselves Jews.

The two most recent Premiers of Israel illustrate these two racial types Shamon Perez is a Sephardic Jew from authentic Jewish stock. Isaak Shamir is Ashkenazim or Khazar in origin. In Poland these ancestors of most modern Jews thrived and became more zealous Jews than their theological cousins in the West. - the Sephardim.

The Khazars were fascinated with that mystical aspect of Judaism called Kabbalah. Kabbalah was the Jewish ancient gnosticism that believes God is unconscious yet everywhere.revealed in different levels of refinement around the Universe. Judaism was unique amongst ancient religions in its belief in a single conscious god. A god not only capable of creating the world but of punishing evil and rewarding good. Like eastern religions however the Polish Kabbalists believed that god in his purest form is utterly remote, unknowable, without opinions about right and wrong. Instead his being filtered down through many gradations until it reached Israel.

Israel, according to the Kabbalah, was the visible rational emanation of god in this world. Below Israel was confusion and darkness represented by demons and the chaotic world of the Gentiles. What excited the Khazars was that the Kabbalah preached revolution. It said that Jews as " superior beings" were destined to rule the world. In the Zohar which is the written text of Kabbalistic lore the arrogance and the ambitions of the ancient Pharisees is very much alive.

In a typical passage the Zohar teaches

" 'living soul' refers to Israel which has holy living souls from above and cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth to the other peoples who are not living soul."

Only by the overthrow of the Gentiles, the Zohar asserts, can Israel regain its position as god' s "chosen people" In a passage typical of many, the Zohar says:

" they caused the destruction of the temple. So when god reveals himself they will be wiped off the earth. Redemption will not be complete until they will be exterminated."

Once Israel shakes off Gentile dominion and Christian influence heaven will be sent to earth and then, according to the Zohar:

"Israel will fulfil her predestined role, ruling the world under the leadership of her Messiah."

From the beginning, the Catholic Church i.e. Christianity, has been an anathema to the Jews.

The attack by Christ on the Sanhedrin triggered his crucifixion. Without the emphasis on material success Christ' s teaching was directly in opposition to the Jewish belief as was the Christian concept of a celibate clergy. Christianity quickly came under attack and early on was weakened by the split into the Western and Eastern Churches. Thereafter several of the Popes were maranno or crypto Jews, amongst others: the Borgias, Torquemada, the Head Inquisitor and the last Pope, John Paul. Societies such as the Cathars, Templars, the Priory of Sion, Freemasons, Solar Temple of the Sun, Rosicrucians and the Compagnie du Sacrement to name a few proliferated.

All of these used esoteric symbols from the Kabbalah linked with the Egyptian Goddess Isis and question the position of Jesus as the founder of Christianity or even his existence. . The Talmud however appears to have no such doubts and is particularly unpleasant in its reference to the mother of Jesus terming her a "whore" with unpleasant details of his conception.

With the appearance of " Protestanism", the bible which had not figured prominently in the Catholic liturgy, achieved a central position. It is clear that the main purpose of the film regarding the Turin Shroud and the subsequent book regarding the Templars is to prove that Christianity was based on a lie right from the beginning, to cause disruption and to replace the Virgin Mary and the idea of "purety" with that of Mary Magdalene, the reformed prostitute.

As the Kabbalah or Zohar was not merely a theological system but taught the overthrow of the existing order it was natural that before long Jews would begin to put it into practice. With the age of Voltaire and so-called Enlightenment during the 18th century a host of Jewish Kabalists migrated west out of Poland and penetrated the capitals of Europe.

In Europe in the years before the French Revolution, foundations were laid for a New Order in the world. Kabalists such as Adam Weishaupt established the ultra -secret " Illuminati" which became a cover for plots that would begin the erosion of Christian civilisation. At the same time beginning with Jewish philospher, Moses Mendelsohn, many Jews began to see their religion not merely as a means of personal salvation but as a way to reform society at large. Many Jewish activists said that starting with such revolutionaries as Moses and the Prophets, Israel had always had the social objective of wiping out injustice and taking the part of the downtrodden. It was therefore the duty of every Jew to come to the aid of the oppressed working masses, called the proletariat, in their historic struggle against capitalistic bondage.

Weishaupt said:

".. for in concealment lies a great part of our strength. For this reason we must always cover ourselves with the name of another society. The Lodges which are under Freemasons are in the meantime the most suitable cloak for our purpose as are the spiritual orders of the Roman Church. Religion was, alas, only a pretence...",

The implication of the above quote that Roman Catholicism, the very origin and executor of Christianity was merely a front for a hidden agenda operated from behind the scenes by hidden hands is an awesome concept to accept for most Christians as it implies that Christianity was essentially a stepping stone to the greater judification of the world and that its usefulness for the cause has been deemed to be fulfilled by the ancient and secret order which nurtured it.

It is worth noting that the Weishaupt agenda became public by accident when secret documents came ino public possession . These documents and Weishaupt himself may merely represent but a part of the greater agenda. He may only ever have been a local branch manager in a greater honeycombed hierarchival structure whose strings were pulled by agents beyond even his knowledge.

Conspiracy or Instinct?

Reverting to the first question "Who or what are the Jews" the following is an extract from Chapter 8 of the "The Jewish Strategy" by Revilo P. Oliver, late Professor of Classics at the University of Illinois.

".....This summary of the Jews' most useful devices leaves us with the question how is it possible for the dispersed and widely scattered members of the race to act with what amounts to unanimity and perfect coordination. It is scarcely credible that so large a number of individuals, many of them showing a low order of intelligence, could carry out such operations according to a consciously formed plan on which they have all previously agreed.

The great mass of Jews seem to be, almost without exception, under the tight control and discipline of their fairly numerous leaders who could in turn be equally subject to the orders of a supreme and secret directorate which plans and directs a conscious strategy as set forth in the famous Protocols.

This is possible, although Aryans are apt to think a most unlikely operation of which they would be utterly incapable, and of which they are we must believe genetically incapable, since the earliest records in the Homeric traditions, the Norse legends and even the Vedas attest to the great difficulty in maintaining an effective concensus with even compact and comparatively small bands for specific immediate and limited ends.

It is a pernicious and perhaps fatal error. The alternative to that theory so far as I can see can be only an hypothesis that the Jews are directed by instinct, at least to a large extent. They may represent a complex and highly advanced form of the biological phenomenon of which the simple manifestation is seen in mammals that hunt in packs or bands. As is well known, wolves and African wild dogs, for example, hunt in organised packs and stalk and bring down their game by a kind of strategy that is carried out by the pack as a unit but with each individual in it having a definite function and adapting himself to the needs of a specific situation.

......, although we may on strictly objective grounds identify our race as having a peculiar capacity for objective thought, many of our actions are determined by instinctive and sub-conscious reactions. It is entirely possible, therefore that a species could have formed by biological selection that automatically preys on our species and instinctively, as wolves prey on caribou, although of course with much greater cunning and versatility.
