The article below is from the major Israeli newspaper in the English language called Haaretz (which means, in Hebrew, “the Homeland,” that is, the jews having their own ethnostate, something which jews figure only jews are allowed to have, not Aryans…. )
The article confirms what I have been saying, that Judaism is:
1) a mind-control cult based on lies and invented stories and histories, all of which puff jews up with a huge ego trip about being a Chosen People
2) Key ideas of late Judaism that ARE true (the immortality of the soul, and thus of the afterlife, judgment by God (who is not some vengeful, jealous tribal deity but the Creator of the Whole Universe), the centrality of free will, the existence of heaven and hell, and of demons and angels) all come from the era of the Persian control of Judea and are 100% of Aryan, Indo-European, Zoroastrian origin from ancient Iran (a word which means “Aryanland”!)
The Jews not only steal our money, land and health, and even our women and children for sex trafficking, but also our core Aryan religious ideas.)
All I can say is, if the jews, the wickedest people on this planet, actually were God’s chosen people, then
How odd of God to choose the jews. 😉

When Did Judaism Emerge? Far Later Than Assumed, New Theory Suggests
Vast review finds no evidence that the Torah laws were commonly observed before the second century B.C.E., says Prof. Yonatan Adler. Not all agree
When was Judaism born? Tradition says it emerged more than 3,000 years ago at Mount Sinai, when God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and the rest of the laws contained in the Torah, the first five books of the Bible.
Most researchers have long dismissed the Exodus and the revelation at Mt. Sinai as foundation myths – leaving us with the question of how and when the first major monotheistic religion developed. And now a new theory springs a shock.
The roots of Judaism, and by extension of Christianity and Islam, have been the subject of critical investigation at least since the 19th century. Much of this research has focused on ascertaining the historicity of the biblical narrative, a question that continues to spark major debates, as well as understanding when the various texts included in the Old Testament were written.
In his book, Adler took a different approach to studying the roots of this religion. He collated information from extrabiblical texts and archaeological digs to understand when the Judeans first began observing en masse the commandments of the Torah.
His investigation involved scouring ancient texts and the archaeological record for signposts of Judaism as we know it: monotheism; rejection of figural art; respect for dietary and purity rules; and observance of festivals like the Sabbath or Passover. Compiling previous research with his own findings, Adler’s study focuses mainly on the Persian and Hellenistic periods, that is, from the end of the Babylonian exile in the late sixth century B.C.E. onwards.
Given this, many scholars have concluded that Torah law only became widely known to the Judeans in the Second Temple Period, under Persian rule, and this is primarily because the Bible itself tells us so in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
But as the George and Ira Gershwin song put it: “The things that you’re liable to read in the Bible, it ain’t necessarily so.” In fact there is little or no evidence that the Judeans of the Persian Period, and even the Early Hellenistic Period were following the prescriptions of scripture, or were even aware of them, Adler notes.
Brought to you by Johanan the Priest
These deities included Anatyahu, possibly the semitic goddess Anat as a consort of YHWH, and a god named Eshembethel, likely linked to a cultic center in Bethel, north of Jerusalem. There is even a letter that accounts for monetary donations made by the Judeans of Elephantine to YHWH and these two other deities.
Back in Judea itself, figurative motifs abounded on coins, with some money sporting winged lions, a portrait of a bearded man, a seated deity (possibly YHWH himself) and even a representation of the Greek goddess Athena, Adler recounts in his book.
Mind you, these coins were not minted by the Persian overlords, but were signed by Judean officials with Yahwistic names, such as “Johanan the priest” and “Jehezekiah the governor.”
Figurative imagery disappears from Judean coins only in the second half of the second century B.C.E., with money minted by the Hasmonean leader John Hyrcanus I.
It would seem that up until that time, the fundamental prescriptions of the first and second commandments of the Torah (adoring YHWH exclusively and making no graven images, respectively) were wholesale unknown or ignored. And this is a leit motif for most of the hallmarks of Judaism that Adler examines. Previous research by the archaeologist had already shown that Judeans consumed non-kosher fish at least up to the Persian Period. Mikvehs (Jewish ritual baths) and synagogues appear only from the second century B.C.E. onward and before that period there is no clear textual evidence of observance of the Sabbath or Passover.
There is one letter from Elephantine that discusses a festival that is celebrated in spring, but the biblical rites of Passover are never actually mentioned, Adler argues in the book.
The archaeologist is cautious about his conclusions, and doesn’t rule out that small groups, undetectable in the archaeological and historical record, may have been following some form of Torah law in the Persian or Early Hellenistic periods.
“I can’t swear on the Bible there was no Judaism before, I can only say there is no evidence for it, and I can say we have some counterevidence for it, especially in the Persian period, so it’s less likely, while the second century B.C.E. is the more probable setting for the birth of Judaism,” he tells Haaretz.
Those clever Hasmoneans
This later period saw the Judeans, led by the Hasmonean priestly dynasty, revolt against the rule of the Hellenistic Seleucid empire. This conflict, commemorated during the festival of Hanukkah, is remembered as a victory against those who wanted to force the Jews to abandon Torah law and assimilate into the dominant Hellenistic culture.
But given that no one seems to have been observing the Torah before the revolt, Adler suspects that the conflict was more about the Hasmoneans seizing power and asserting Judah’s independence. It was only in hindsight that they spun it as a holy war, to unite the Judeans under a common identity forged by the laws and origin narratives of the Bible, Adler speculates.
The Bible’s territorial claims over the entire Holy Land as God-given to the people of Israel also provided a useful justification to later Hasmonean expansionism, particularly under John Hyrcanus, who gained control over regions, such as Idumea, that were not inhabited by Jews, Adler notes.
This does not mean that the state-sponsored religion of the Hasmoneans had no link to the previous practices and beliefs of the Judeans, and it is likely that Torah law incorporated many early traditions of the ancient Israelites, the archaeologist qualifies. One example could be circumcision, which was practiced centuries earlier not only by the Israelites but by many of their neighbors, including the Egyptians, Adler says.
“There was an ancient Judean religion before the second century B.C.E.,” he says. “They used Aramaic and Hebrew, there was a Temple, there were priests and sacrifices. But were they sacrificing according to the rules of the Torah? Were they following Torah laws? There is no indication that they were.”
Of course, the Bible is full of stories about the ancient Israelites transgressing God’s laws and falling into sin. Could it be that the Torah was in fact the law of the land much before the Hasmoneans, and the archaeological and historical evidence simply reflect this widespread misbehavior?
“From a historical perspective we have no evidence that the Judean masses knew about the Torah before the second century B.C.E.,” Adler responds. “The biblical story itself is that the people never observed the law. That story is essentially correct but it is being told from the perspective of people who think the Israelites should have been observing the Torah.”
The writers and editors of the biblical text thus compiled a narrative that fit their agenda, interpreting certain historical events, like the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians, as divine punishment by a jealous god.
Biblical xenophobia
Hankering for a biblical past was certainly one element of Hasmonean ideology, says Prof. Israel Finkelstein an archaeologist at Tel Aviv University and the University of Haifa. Finkelstein, one of Israel’s leading biblical archaeologists, agrees with Adler that Judaism as we know it today originated in Hasmonean Judea.
While we have evidence that parts of the biblical text were already composed in the First Temple period, “they cannot be described as representing Judaism, but rather Judahite theology and royal ideology,” Finkelstein says.
Composition of biblical texts in Persian-period Judea seems to have been far more limited than most scholars thought, while the Hasmonean influence over several parts of the Old Testament is clear, especially the books of Nehemiah and Chronicles, he notes.
For example, the books of Ezra and Nehemiah express concerns over the Judeans marrying foreign wives and non-Jews living in the country. “There were no ‘others’ in small Persian Period Judea, but indeed there were many ‘others’ in the territory of the expanding Hasmonean kingdom starting in the middle of the 2nd century B.C.E.,” Finkelstein says. In other words, the stories of intermarriage in the Persian period reflect much later concerns — projected anachronistically onto a distant, mythical past.
Other colleagues of Adler are less supportive of his conclusions.
“He is being very minimalist,” says Prof. Aren Maeir, an archaeologist at Bar-Ilan University. “While the First Temple-period religion of the Israelites is very different from what we know from later periods, I think the origin of Judaism is a process of ongoing development, not a sudden cutoff.”
For example, while Judeans used imagery in their coinage during the Persian period, during that time there is an almost complete disappearance of the figurines that were ubiquitous during the preceding Iron Age, in what could be an early sign of opposition to figurative art, Maeir notes.
“What we see is a slow transformation,” he says. “The Judaism we know only emerges in the Hellenistic period but there were foundational undercurrents that may go back to the First Temple period and that underwent huge transformations over time, especially with the destruction of Judah by the Babylonians.”
Whenever Judaism developed, critically studying the historical roots of the Torah and its observance is not an exercise in diminishing the value of the biblical text, Adler stresses.
“The fact that we have the Torah, and not just a faith, but a living identity we practice day and night from cradle to grave, could explain how the Jewish people survived for so long where other cultures have disappeared,” Adler says. “That’s why it’s so important to know when people first started keeping the Torah.”
Additionally, the quest for the roots of Judaism is key to understanding the other monotheistic religions that grew out of it, namely Christianity and Islam, he notes.
“The beginnings of Judaism set in motion the next 2,000 years of history, even though Jews make a very small percentage of the world’s population,” Adler says. “If we want to understand the history of humanity in the last 2,000 years, we need to know how it all started.”
Jews aren’t even jewish. The Ashkenazi infiltrated them to control them and use them to commit global crimes.
Jews aren’t jewish?
I don’t see much opposition to their evil by ‘good’ jews.
.
“Silence indicates consent.”
The person who wrote this is probably “Christian Identity.”
The Hebru were a middle eastern nomadic tribe . A tribe of money lenders, prostetitutes, thugs, rustlers and murderers. These were infiltrated by “jews” Who were infiltrated and controlled by the Ashkenazi tribe. The Ashkenazi were the brains behind scams ,plots . Carried out by poor jews. Any come back ?
” Oh us poor jews are aways being persecuted ” They get expelled and generally nasty things happen to these poor victim jews.
The Billionaire Ashkenazi leaders ( Rothschilds, Soros,Jacob schiff, etc) carry on as normal .Their wealth and contacts make them untouchable .
Name an Ashkenazi who’s stood trial for their crimes?
Whilst the 6 million number has been used 3 x times against the little jews suffering.
“Jewish persecution ” is their trade mark .
They are not really jewish if you follow back their lineage . It’s their trade mark.
Just a few years ago the Jews claimed they had been on this world for 5000 years. If so, that would place them in Sumer and Egypt.
In any case, the German philosopher Eugen Dühring wrote that the self-identity of the Jews is that of “ruling chief slave.” They are the slaves that rule over the other slaves…..
This implies that the Jews need an empire in which to live.
Therefore, to determine the place of origin of the Jews we should think in terms of past empires.
Yes, and good point. The jews see themselves as the house ngrs of their deity, Yahweh, not as the field ngrs. We goyim do the work; they supervise. It is a slave world, a prison planet.
According to the Anunnaki theory of human creation (by mixing extraterrestrial genetic material with pre-human terrestrial hominids), the Jews were last created, to be compradord of the Anunnaki. The Jews mythologise that as being the “chosen” PeoplHow much of their earliest material came from the “heretic Pharaoh” Akhetaton?
The 200 years before Christ was one of Creditor takeover. Aiparu (Haibaru) caravanners were the real religion of the top Jews, as shown when Trajan (Roman Emperor) went north into Parthia.
There Trajan interdicted the Gold/Silver East-West flow of the Aiparu donkey caravans plying their trade, and especially their taking easy usury on the exchange rate of the metals. The transfer took place at the Bosporous crossing, which is why Constantine moved Rome to that location, building Constantinople.
Of course the top money Jews went nuts when Trajan touched their nerve center, instructing the low Jews to kill Greeks in large numbers. Their real god is Moloch.
Hillel the Elder is another clue, where he changed religion to no longer release debts. Of course if you read Jewish accounts, Hillel is some sort of magical figure.
The bottom line is that debt servicing to creditors became Sacrosanct after Hillel. I’ve brought up this point with Jews in debates, and they sit there dumbfounded, because it is the central dysfunction to their religion, the giant HOAX that damages themselves and others.
After Hillel there no longer was the notion of odious debt, or rebalancing civilization. Time and life was no longer circular with birth, living, death, and rebirth. -Of course civilization renewal with debt release, where bond servants (slaves and debt slaves) are to return home was no longer operative. Hillel and his perverts could sit like effendis while the permanent debt slaves serve their whims.
All civilizations polarize over time, with creditor Oligarchy emergence. All debts grow unnaturally in an exponential fashion, making excess claims on labor and the earth It’s important to understand that the mathematical curve of nature is one that grows quickly only in birth and in the beginning of life. Life is no an exponential.
Ergo, debts are outside of nature. The remedy, or Jubilee, was so important that Jews themselves coded it into the Bible/Torah in Isaiah.
Thanks to the new predatory Jewish religion, Humanity has “bad narrative” in their religions, where they live one life with linear time, then die. This makes them easy to maneuver by the (((creditor class))), and easy to extract life energy from. The Goy are mere animals – right?
Christianity has also changed, to then keep the sheeple deaf and dumb, and hence easy pickings.

”The Christianity we know today is not the Christianity of Jesus,” says Professor Hudson.
Indeed the Judaism that we know today is not the Judaism of Jesus either.
The economist told Renegade Inc the Lord’s Prayer, ‘forgive us our sins even as we forgive all who are indebted to us’, refers specifically to debt.
“Most religious leaders say that Christianity is all about sin, not debt,” he says. “But actually, the word for sin and debt is the same in almost every language.”
”‘Schuld’, in German, means ‘debt’ as well as ‘offense’ or, ‘sin’. It’s ‘devoir’ in French. It had the same duality in meaning in the Babylonian language of Akkadian.”
The idea harks back to the concept of ‘wergeld’, which existed in parts of Europe and Babylonia, and set the value of a human life based on their rank, paid as compensation to the family of someone who has been injured or killed.
”The payment – the Schuld or obligation – expiates you of the injury caused by the offense,” Dr Hudson said.
The Ten Commandments Were About Debt.

Here is Hudson on Hillel, and notice the parallels to the mental sickness that Jews today exhibit:
________________
The Pharisees, Hillel (the founder of Rabbinical Judaism) and the creditors who backed them decided that Jesus’ growing popularity was a threat to their authority and wealth.
“They said ‘we’ve got to get rid of this guy and rewrite Judaism and make it about sex instead of a class war’, which is really what the whole Old Testament is about,” Professor Hudson said.
”That was that was where Christianity got perverted. Christianity turned so anti-Jesus, it was the equivalent of the American Tea Party, applauding wealth and even greed, Ayn-Rand style.”
(My addition: Christianity got perverted even further in stages, with Paul, then Constantine, and then especially in the reformation with the Jew Manessah Ben Israel funding Protestantism. The average normie is walking around with clown ideology programmed into his head, trying to make sense of clown world.)
Here is a compilation of passages in the Bible regarding Debts that modern Jews and Christians studiously ignore. Jews of course, are especially bad, as their entire “new religion” gives them cover and sanction – a form of armor that cannot be penetrated.
It is important to call the Jews out, as following a false religion – so this Haaretz article is important.
