A Case Against Israels Right To Exist

My decision to write this paper originally came after discussions I was having with a friend
about the current crisis happening in Palestine particularly in the Gaza Strip area. Although it contains
an argument against the current State of Israel's claim to the right to occupy Palestinian land, it is also
an informative piece designed to reveal the true origins of Jews who represent Israel as it is today. My
hope is, that by presenting this historical evidence, it will strengthen the claim that Israel, as it is
manifest today, and those who represent her, especially through governance, have no right to not only
occupy Palestine but also had no right in taking the land in the first place. I use historical evidence to
back my claim but concentrate more on Biblical evidence as found in the Old Testament. The reason
for this is because the OT is the cornerstone of the Israeli's claim for the right to occupy Palestine. It is
their main source of justification for what can only be called illegal and immoral occupation, as well as
for their current genocidal and dehumanizing actions against the Palestinian people. Thus the argument
against Israel's right to occupy Palestine must go back to beyond last December or even the last few
years if it is to be understood, and if we are to understand the reality of the current situation in
Palestine. In fact it ultimately must go back almost 4000 years ago because this is where Israel's own
claims of justification for occupation come from. I will disprove their 4000 year old claims from the
same source they get these claims. God willing it succeeds in not only informing but also assisting in
bringing some peace and justice for the Palestinian people.

Palestine Today

I have been in much debate as of late concerning the crisis that has been going on in the Gaza
strip of Palestine for the last two weeks. Unless a person chooses to remain inside the paradigm of the
North American media blackout of the events going on in Palestine now, it is no secret that many
atrocities are being committed against the Palestinian people not only now but have been continually
for perhaps 40 years. If we focus on only the last three years, the Palestinian people who remain have
been held captive, crammed within the small pieces of land known as the Gaza Strip and The West
Bank. Within these areas which hardly pass for communities, the people have been forced to live
without clean water, proper sewage treatment, and constant power blackouts. Quoting the blog
Desertpeace, “...hundreds of Palestinians have perished because Israel would not allow them to access
medical care or medicine. I saw many Palestinians die an agonizing death because the “light upon the
nations” wouldn’t allow them to reach hospital a few blocks away.”i (I recommend going to this blog
as the author is currently living in Jerusalem and it is regularly updated by correspondents from within
Gaza. The link is here: http://desertpeace.wordpress.com/.)

Further, the Israelis have built and continue to build an 8 meter high concrete wall through the
entire length of the Westbank. Quoting from the book 'The Wall in Palestine - Facts, Testimonies,
Analysis and Call to Action, “The Wall takes on a number of physical forms, such as the one in
Qalqiliya, which is some 8-meters high made of concrete and lined with watchtowers, as well as other
areas where the Wall is a series of fences, some of which are electric, and may include some or all of
the following: trenches, roads, barbed wires, cameras, trace paths for footprints, buffer zones, and
spanning a width between 70-100 meters.”ii The peoples of Palestine are now living under this wall
under the constant eyes of guards and snipers. Children must go to school through rubble, past armored
tanks and constantly in fear of being harassed not only by guards but also Jewish settlers. Yes, it is not
only Israeli soldiers that Palestinians must fear but also many of the Jewish settlers. The paradigm of
hate that the Zionist Israeli government has created in that illegal state has effected the minds of many
of the settlers. Even human rights workers are constantly harassed and pelted with stones by Jewish
settlers. Check the following links to see various video clips of this mentally ill behavior.

I am posting this information not to express some kind of hate towards Israeli people or Jews
but to simply show people who are unaware, the condition that the people of Palestine are living in
now. I don't care if you call yourself a Jew, Muslim, Christian, Hindu or Atheist. If a person commits
these kinds of acts I will call it as it is. Unlike many Canadians I know, I have had some time away and
am not so conditioned by this knee jerk political correctness attitude. I tend to enjoy the freedom to
express my opinion on things as I see them. I am also not really concerned with individual opinions but
more on facts and evidence. That is what I want to do now. I want to present some facts and evidence
as to why I believe that the State of Israel has no legal or moral justification for existing as it is
represented today. I'm not saying that under any circumstances, Jews shouldn't be able to have a nation
or home. That is a right that all people in a free society should enjoy regardless of race or religion. But,
NO state that represents ANY people should be allowed to exist if it can only exist in the way that
Israel today exists, and this is my argument.

Self Determinism

Recently I was made aware of an article on the legal matters of rights to Palestinian lands. This
article was posted by a friend and after reading it I was reminded of a few things. One is the concept of
Jewish self determinism. Self determinism is actually a philosophical theory that states, 'every present
state or condition of the self is a result of previous states or conditions of the self.' This concept began
as a theory of individual behavior and 'is concerned with the choices people make with their own free
will and full sense of choice, without any external influence and interference.'iii It is the mantra of many
North Americans or people who have experienced living within a culture with at least the illusions of
having freedoms to choose.

Philosophically it represents a persons true uniqueness as an individual and within the theory a
person enjoys, at least conceptually, the ability to make ones own decisions outside the influence of
external peers and other stimuli. Of course there are many who argue that this is psychologically
impossible but I am not about to elucidate on this argument. However, the concept is a desirable one
even if it may be more romantic than rational to some, it is and always will be something people aspire
towards. It's basically free will and is deeply entrenched in concepts of human rights. Everyone wants
the freedom to make choices in there lives, the freedom to move about without interference, to come
and go as they please, and express their opinions. It is the more external manifestations of self
determinism that are activated when we talk about it as something tied to a nation or large number of
set people rather than the individual. And it is this national form of self determinism that is the issue
when we concern ourselves with the condition of Israel and Palestine today.

Israel often uses Jewish self determinism as a battle cry of justification for its current existence
as a state. (I almost called it sovereign but based on the history of it's inception it would hardly fall into
the category of a sovereign nation by definition, but I will touch on that later.) This Jewish self
determinism is taking the individual philosophical concept of self determinism and applying it to a
nation or group of peoples who identify themselves by race and/or religion under the title Jew. (More
on the origins of the word Jew later) In my understanding, there is nothing wrong with applying this
concept of self determinism to an entire group of people but what must be understood, is that at this
level, self determinism must leave the coffee shop universe of the abstract and begin to manifest in real
time as measurable and alienable rights. That is, rights that can be processed by the ever grinding
wheels of law, specifically law dealing with human rights. And low and behold, the article my friend
posted contained just that kind of information.

Now it stands to reason that if Jews can claim self determinism as a nation and claim all rights
that come with it, so should any other group or nation. Well, the article I mentioned at the beginning of
this writing entitled 'Do Israeli Rights Conflict With the Palestinian Right of Return?' tells us quite a lot
about the lawful right of self determination in regards to nations, first here with the mention of its
inception into international law.

“The right of peoples to self-determination developed during the same decades when the
international community wavered over the emerging conflict in Palestine. The law of self determination
is still ambiguous today, and it was especially vague in its early years. There is therefore no open and
shut argument on either side about whether the Y ishuv (Jewish community in Palestine) had a legal
right to establish an independent sovereign state in 1948.

“Peoples’ rights to self-determination developed from a political principle in international relations

after the First World War into a full fledged right today. Before World War II, states had not yet
recognized the right of all peoples to self-determination. It was included in treaty law for the first
time in the United Nations Charter. On its face, the Charter's reference to self-determination was
only an articulation of guiding principles and objectives, although it may also have been a
recognition of an emerging customary norm. Self-determination only became indisputably
established as a clear right in international law in the 1960s with the UN Declaration on the
Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples (1960) and the International Bill of
Rights (1966). Self-determination was included as the first article of both the Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights and the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: "All peoples have
the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and
freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development."iv

I first want to say that I enjoyed this article and agreed with the authors conclusions however, I
still want to point out a few things.
According to the author, the law of self determination for a nation, though it may sound like the
title of a new rap song, is also still ambiguous today, but I suppose ambiguous laws still have some
leverage in justifying an act. Though one often wonders how after so many years of it being a dish on
the UN international dinner plate that someone hasn't found away to wash it down and have it done
with already. So, quite conveniently for Israel, it is not an open and shut case from a perspective of
slow digesting international law, on whether they are justified for even being in Palestine in the first
place. I guess if there is one thing we can be sure of, it is that law often slows down justice along with
serving it up.

The second thing I want to point out is how after the law was established, yet still ambiguous, in
the 1960's, it was with a declaration of granting independence to colonial countries and its peoples. My
question is did it not also focus on the rights of countries and people that were not colonial but rather
indigenous to a certain area? After all a colonial country is an arm of another existing country that has
either amalgamated with or disseminated the lands original occupiers. In the case of Israel, obviously
here falling under the category of a colonial type of nation, it was a forceful act of dissemination of the
indigenous peoples of Palestine which allowed them, these Israeli Jews, to establish a state. But
ambiguous international laws and rights of indigenous peoples versus colonial peoples aside, I must say
that I do agree with the author of this articles conclusion regarding the use of self determinism as a
justification for Israel's current existence as a state, which says:

“Jewish self-determination cannot trump other human rights..... the Jewish collective right to form
and maintain a Jewish state could negate the Palestinian refugee return. This argument does not seem
sustainable in law, principally because self-determination cannot be achieved for one group by
disenfranchising another..... If Palestinian refugees have a right to return, they cannot be legally
prevented from doing so simply because it would change Israel’s demographic composition. The law of
self-determination is flexible enough to accommodate this reality. For the purposes of self-
determination, the “people” of Israel can include both current Israeli citizens, as well refugees who
choose to return.”

Now as I approach the meat of my essay, I want to say how the very title of the above article I
quoted doesn't sit well with me. The author concludes that the right of self determination of the Israeli
Jews cannot trump the rights of the returning Palestinians, which I agree is reasonable and sound.
However, I argue that they had no right to be there in the first place. Again, though the author soundly
suggests that Israel does not have such armor piercing rights as to be able refuse Palestinians back in,
what gave them the right to kick them out in the first place? It is this issue that I want to now tackle and
try to prove that Israel, as the current state it is, has no legal or moral justification for existing, based on
historical data and their own sources for justifiable occupation, the first five books of Old Testament, or
Torah.

State or Nation?

Israel, using self determination among other reasons to justify it's current existence, is a state. I
say 'state' because this is how she defines herself. To set the record straight, Israel is a state whose
nationality is Jewish. In other words The State of Israel is home to a Nation of Jews and Jews only as
proclaimed by those who represent her through governance. But in order to understand just what this
all means we have to start defining words.

State - a politically unified people occupying a definite territory; nation.

Nation - a large body of people, associated with a particular territory, that is sufficiently conscious of
its unity to seek or to possess a government peculiarly its own

By definition Israel is most certainly a state and the nation that it represents are this large body
of people united under the banner of Jewishness. I'll roll up my sleeves and attempt to define Jew later,
but continuing.......

Like the article 'Do Israeli Rights Conflict With the Palestinian Right of Return?', most people
when considering or factoring the rights of Israel in this mess, fail to look back to before a time when
there was no Israel. To me, asking the question of whether or not Israel's right to exist conflicts with
Palestinians rights to return home is the height of ignorance or arrogance or both. If I came into your
home and forcibly removed you and your family, then rebuilt the home to suit my needs, that would be
bad enough. Especially if I had no prior right to your home. Then how would you feel if the community
at large began debating on whether your returning to your home might infringe on my rights to remain
there as an illegal invader? Am I the only one who sees the pure madness in this? So the question that
must come up in order to bring back some sanity out of senility is to ask, why do the Jewish Israeli's
and a large but ever shrinking percentage of North Americans, believe that Israel had the right to exist
as a state in an already occupied Palestine to begin with? Well... sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a
tale of a real bad trip, that started in this desert land with a twisting of the lip.

Israel is a State? Says who?

Hear O’Israel, the soul of our people

is forever and is one.
Hear o’worldly nations,
you are just noise and done.v

The above is an excerpt from a poem about Israel by Michael Druck titled 'For Israel: A prelude
and rhyme'. So who is this Israel? Who is the object of this swooning prose? To answer these questions
we must do what many refuse to do, and that is look to the Old Testament, where the word first
appears, because this is where the current occupiers of Palestine, O' Israel herself, turns to in order to
justify her current existence. The current Jews of Israel and the Zionists who pushed for her modern
creation will recite biblical tales of persecution and a peoples without a land, and a promise by God to
one day return to a homeland, which is, unfortunately for the Palestinians, exactly where Palestine
exists today. They will repeat this rhetoric ad nauseum in order to justify not only Israel's existence but
also the atrocities they are now committing against the Palestinian people. So what exactly does the
Old Testament say about Israel? Keep in mind that it is the first five books of Old Testament that
Jewish people turn to to justify Israels existence. This is because these first five books are the same that
make up the Jewish Torah. It is really a telling of the story of their supposed ancestors.

First remember that these Jewish Israelis define themselves as the people of Israel, thus creating
this concept of a Jewish race and a Nation of Jews. Because how can you call yourself a nationality if
you have no nation or country to call home? So, Israel becomes the state or country which represents
the true homeland of this race or nation of Jews. So did God promise this piece of real estate called
Israel to these so called Jews and is it located in what we now call the Holy Land? Here is what the
word Israel means and stands for according to God in the Old Testament.

Genesis 35:9-12
God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. And God said to
him, "Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name."
So he called his name Israel. And God said to him, "I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply. A
nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body. The
land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after
you."

According to God, Israel is NOT a piece of real estate but simply the name of the prophet
Jacob, or Ya'qub in the semitic languages. Jacob was one son of Isaac who was one son of Abraham. In
a long line of noble prophets, Jacob is a very important one in the Jewish faith as he was the one who
made this covenant with God which promised, NOT Israel but the land given to Abraham and Isaac
before him. This proves that Israel the state is NOT the land promised to the lineage of Jacob but
simply Jacobs God given name. Whenever children of Israel is mentioned in the Old Testament, it is
not talking about a group or nation of people that once resided in a land called Israel, but simply the
blood lineage of the prophet Jacob. A nation known as Israel only existed temporarily after the
Israelites became divided when Solomons reign ended. This piece of land by that name did not make
up the area of land that God promised the Israelites as I will show later.

Genesis 35:22-26
While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine. And Israel
heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve. The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob’s firstborn), Simeon,
Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun. The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. The sons of Bilhah,
Rachel’s servant: Dan and Naphtali. The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant: Gad and Asher. These were
the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.

We can see that again, Israel is not ever referred to as a specific piece of land, but also that it
was these 12 sons of Jacob or Israel that would become the true people of Israel, that is the bloodline
descendants of Jacob. So it is quite clear that Israeli Jews cannot justify their current occupation on the
claim that God has promised them a specific state called Israel. Nor can they claim, that as a nation of
Israel, God says they deserve to exist as this current State of Israel. These claims are completely false
as I have shown from the above verses. The only thing they can claim to be true based on Biblical
evidence is that they are of the bloodline of Jacob and that the land given to Abraham and Isaac, the
same land promised to these descendants of Jacob, is indeed the land where the vile current State of
Israel exists. So is the latter claim able to justify the existence of the current state of Israel and the
occupation by the current Jews residing within her borders? The short answer....no. But lets prove it
shall we using the same source they use to justify their existence....the good Old Testament.

The Promised Land

According to God in the OT, a certain expanse of land was promised to the sons or tribes of
Jacob/Israel and this land is called Canaan. There are two different descriptions in the OT as to the
borders of this land and they occur in Numbers 34:3-12 and in Genesis 15:18-21.

Numbers 34:1-12
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Command the Israelites, and say to them: When you enter the land
of Canaan (this is the land that shall fall to you for an inheritance, the land of Canaan, defined by its
boundaries), your south sector shall extend from the wilderness of Zin along the side of Edom. Your
southern boundary shall begin from the end of the Dead Sea on the east; your boundary shall turn
south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and cross to Zin, and its outer limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea;
then it shall go on to Hazar-addar, and cross to Azmon; the boundary shall turn from Azmon to the
Wadi of Egypt, and its termination shall be at the Sea.

For the western boundary, you shall have the Great Sea and its coast; this shall be your western
boundary.

This shall be your northern boundary: from the Great Sea you shall mark out your line to Mount Hor;
from Mount Hor you shall mark it out to Lebo-hamath, and the outer limit of the boundary shall be at
Zedad; then the boundary shall extend to Ziphron, and its end shall be at Hazar-enan; this shall be
your northern boundary.

You shall mark out your eastern boundary from Hazar-enan to Shepham; and the boundary shall
continue down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain; and the boundary shall go down, and
reach the eastern slope of the sea of Chinnereth; and the boundary shall go down to the Jordan, and its
end shall be at the Dead Sea. This shall be your land with its boundaries all round.
Genesis 15:18-21
On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from
the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the
Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites,
and the Jebusites.’

Below are two maps showing the two variations of the promised land as described in the above
verses. These maps were taken from the book 'The Promise of the Land - The Inheritance of the Land
of Canaan by the Israelites' by Moshe Weinfeld.vi

Borders of the Promised Land, Numbers 34:3-12.

Borders of the Promised Land, Genesis 15:18-21.

 The question I have here is, which map do the modern Israeli's believe is the correct one? The
one from numbers came later so would it be the correct one? Well according to Theodore Herzle,
founder of Zionism and Rabbi Fischmann, member of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, neither is
correct! Go figure, like Moses in Exodus debating with God and proving to be wiser, these two so
called Jews decided that their idea for a map of Israel would be better than Gods. After all, they are
Jews and therefore must be wiser than God. Below is a picture of their planned Greater Israel. Coming
to a concentration camp near you.vii

Proposed Greater Israel

Apparently the proposed area of Greater Israel according to the Jews is a lot larger than the one
God had had in mind, but what does He know anyway?

Now don't be confused by the fact that God describes this land area first to Abram, which is
Abraham, and then to Moses. You see, Abraham is indeed the first father of a long line of Many
prophets. The tribes or sons of Jacob/Israel were also children of Abraham as Jacob was one son of
Isaac who was in turn one son of Abraham, as I mentioned earlier. Further, Moses or Musa in the
semitic languages, was in fact the great great grandson of Jacob/Israel. Musa was the son of Imran, who
was the son of Kohath, who was the son of Levi, who was in turn one of the 12 sons of Jacob/Israel. It
was Moses or Musa who was given the responsibility of freeing the descendants of Jacob from slavery
in Egypt. This is of course the famous story of the exodus.

In other words, the land promised to the descendants of Jacob does indeed fall within the same
space of modern day Palestine and Israel, and the story of these nations of Jacob trying to return to it is
a long story indeed. However, remember that this land was first promised to Abraham, and then to
Jacob and this promise was made under the conditions of a covenant. Now a covenant is like a contract,
and as long as both parties live up to their part of the contract the covenant will be fulfilled. But
remember, this covenant wasn't just any covenant, it was a covenant or contract made between
Abraham, Jacob and his descendants and God. You know THE GOD, the prime mover, the first cause
or uncaused cause, the creator, administrator and sustainer of all things. And when a covenant is made
with God, He never breaks it. That is, because God is perfect He cannot break his promise because he
cannot contradict. However the same does not hold true for us lowly mortals. You see we are imperfect
and therefore we are guilty of breaking contracts and promises all the time, and if one party breaks the
contract or covenant, the agreement is off.

So if these modern Jews who occupy the present State of Israel are indeed the descendants of
Jacob who inherited this land of Canaan, all they have to do is prove that they kept their end of the
bargain, did not break the covenant and therefore can justify the existence of the current state of Israel
based on the evidence by their source the OT. But.... the problem is, they DID break it as we shall now
see.

The Broken Promise

As God is perfect, He is the perfect businessman, and like any good businessman, whenever He
needs to make an agreement between two parties, he always rights up a contract. This way both parties
are protected in case one party or the other decides to default. This is what happened to these
descendants of Jacob, these Hebrews, these Jews, these Israelites.

Remember the covenant is first made with Abraham in Genesis and then repeated also in
Genesis with Isaac's son Jacob/Israel. Now after Jacobs twelve sons are born and go out to reproduce in
the world things begin to break down for the Israelites or descendants of Jacob who were bound by this
covenant with God. The first misfortune was when Joseph or Yusuf, one of the sons of Jacob/Israel,
was betrayed by his own brothers or half brothers and left for dead, all because they were jealous of
him.

Genesis 37:11
So his brothers were jealous of him (Joseph), but his father kept the matter in mind.

Genesis 37:18-20
They saw him (Joseph) from a distance, and before he came near to them, they conspired to kill him.
They said to one another, ‘Here comes this dreamer. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one
of the pits; then we shall say that a wild animal has devoured him, and we shall see what will become
of his dreams.’
But do not fret, Joseph did not die. His brothers lose courage in the end and rather than kill him,
they just toss him in a well, soak his torn shirt in blood and go back to tell their father Jacob that
wolves had eaten him. Later Joseph is rescued from the well by a traveler and taken to Egypt and this is
how the tribes of Jacob/Israel later came to live in Egypt. (Actually the story of Joseph is a fascinating
one and is also retold in Al Quran. It's a good read which I recommend.) Now, up to this point, the sons
of Jacob/Israel had been doing OK until that bout of jealousy by the brothers, but it wasn't a couple
generations later when leaving Egypt under the guidance of Moses, did the real trouble begin.

Exodus

When Moses appeared on the scene the glory days of the Israelites living in Egypt were long
over. A new Pharaoh had control over Egypt and he had no favoritism nor knowledge of Joseph, who
was now passed away, nor did he know Joseph's family. The descendants of Jacob were now living as
slaves. God then gave Moses the responsibility of freeing these descendants of Jacob from slavery and
leading them back to Canaan, back to their home. And it is during this exodus that the covenant
between Jacob and his lineage, promising them a return to their land was broken.

During their long journey back home, God blessed these Israelites with many fortunes including
Mana from heaven to eat, but on a number of occasions these Israelites grumbled and protested despite
their blessings. On top of this, they had just been freed from generations of slavery under the harsh rule
of Pharaoh as proof of Gods favor for them and a fulfilling of the covenant with their forefathers. But
still they complained. Some of them even wishing they had never left and remained in slavery.

Exodus 15:24
And the people complained against Moses, saying, ‘What shall we drink?

Exodus 16:2-3
The whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. The
Israelites said to them, ‘If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat
by the fleshpots and ate our fill of bread; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this
whole assembly with hunger.’

Exodus 17:3
But the people thirsted there for water; and the people complained against Moses and said, ‘Why did
you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and livestock with thirst?’

Finally they reached Mount Sinai which bordered Canaan and it was here that their true
breaking of the covenant played out. When Moses went up to the top of Mount Sinai to speak with
God, the Israelites committed the biggest sin of all.

Exodus 32:1
When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered around
Aaron and said to him, ‘Come, make gods for us, who shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man
who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’

Exodus 32:7-8
The Lord said to Moses, ‘Go down at once! Your people, whom you brought up out of the land of
Egypt, have acted perversely; they have been quick to turn aside from the way that I commanded them;
they have cast for themselves an image of a calf, and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said,
“These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!”

The main part of this covenant which was made between God and the Israelites was that they
worship The One God alone. The above scenario is where this covenant was first broken. The rest of
Exodus 32 tells of how God became angry and was ready to smite the whole lot, but Moses was able to
keep a cool head and talk him out of it. Now lets pause and reflect. If that scenario seems ridiculous to
you, you are not alone. Here we have a recounting of how, between Moses and The God creator of all
things, the mortal man Moses is the wiser!? This brings me to another possible case in my argument
which has to do with the authenticity of the Old Testament that I may touch on later. Continuing...

Exodus 32:30-34
On the next day Moses said to the people, ‘You have sinned a great sin. But now I will go up to the
Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.’ So Moses returned to the Lord and said, ‘Alas, this
people has sinned a great sin; they have made for themselves gods of gold. But now, if you will only
forgive their sin—but if not, blot me out of the book that you have written.’ But the Lord said to Moses,
‘Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. But now go, lead the people to the place
about which I have spoken to you; see, my angel shall go in front of you. Nevertheless, when the day
comes for punishment, I will punish them for their sin.’

Regardless of how accurate this dialogue between Moses and God is, the fact still remains that
in the Old Testament God says, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book.” God then
says He will indeed punish them. Yes thats right. The Israelites were blotted out of Gods book. They
had broken the covenant and therefore lost the right to return and live peacefully in Canaan. The
current Zionist Jews who are responsible for creating and running the current State of Israel can not
justify occupation of that land based on Gods promise. Their own source of reference for justification
plainly shows that the covenant which was made was broken by them. So no more covenant, no more
land, no right to create this modern day Nazi state of Israel at the expense of innocent lives. This is pure
hypocrisy and injustice. But I am not finished yet.

In the first five books of the OT or the Torah, after leaving Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers is
mostly just lengthy narratives of rules, rituals, sacrificial offerings and censuses as well as continuous
complaining by the Israelites. Then as Deuteronomy approaches, these events become interrupted by
various battles and wars as the Israelites slay their way through Canaan. (Hmmm.... sounds familiar)
But I want to fast forward to near the end of Deuteronomy where another important situation occurs
that hints at the true fate of these Israelites. It is in Deuteronomy 31 when Moses is preparing to leave
this world and among his preparations he commits a startling but unsurprising act.

Deuteronomy 31:24-29
And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they
were finished, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD,
saying, Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your
God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck:
behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how
much more after my death? Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may
speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. For I know that
after my death ye will utterly corrupt [yourselves], and turn aside from the way which I have
commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the
LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

As moses prepared to leave this world he made a point to hide the ark containing the written
words of the covenant from the Israelis. Why? Because he didn't trust them. Further he makes a very
blunt prophecy and says that he knows the Israelites will utterly corrupt themselves and do evil in the
sight of the lord! And thus begins the end of the Torah. The first five books of the Old Testament. The
same pages that the modern Israeli Jews use to justify their existence in Palestine the ancient land of
Canaan. How often do we hear the selfish cry by Israel that modern day Palestine is their land promised
by God as is written in their holy book? I've just given you a brief tour of their holy book and guess
what? It's just not true.

So far I have shown that Israel was never a state nor a piece of bordered land, but simply the
name God gave to the prophet Jacob. I have also shown that although God did specify and promise a
piece of real estate for the Israelites to return to, this promise was conditional under a covenant or
contractual agreement. And these Israelites broke that agreement. Therefore, no promise, no land, no
right to return. And all of this evidence provided straight from the proverbial horses mouth. Now at this
point I want to digress slightly but maintaining a focus on my argument.

During my casual debates among friends over the current sate of affairs in Palestine, one friend
made something close to this remark. He said that, we, all of us non-Jews, are not them. He said they
have a right to believe in their faith and if they believe God promised them that land then they have
some kind of right to be there. Fair enough I thought, even despite the fact that clearly that promise or
covenant was indeed broken and made void by the Israelites. However my friends statement did make
me think of another case to use in my argument. It made me reflect back on the concept of self
determination, so I will now go back to that for a moment.

Spiritual Self Determination

I began this article talking about the concept of self determination. This concept as a
justification for Israels existence is, in fervor and volume, probably only surpassed by the loathing cry
of Jewish uniqueness as Gods chosen people, promised the land of ancient Canaan. But in a way, the
two claims are very intertwined. I explained briefly the concept of self determination of the individual
and also self determination of a nation, (I'm starting to like that rhyme) However the right to belief that
the Israeli Jews use to justify occupation could also be a form of self determination which I shall call
spiritual self determination. Now as was shown in the beginning of my article, self determination of the
individual or the nation can not rightfully exist unless the same right is allowed for others. In other
words Jewish self-determination cannot trump other human rights!

I therefore now demand MY right for spiritual self determination and will use reference from
other holy scriptures to further prove my point that the Israelites, although originally promised Canaan
by God, broke that promise and cannot use that line of justification any more. You see, the Jews aren't
the only ones with beliefs, nor are they the only ones with a right to self determination of beliefs. The
ongoing story of mans spiritual journey and relationship with The God, creator of all things does not
start and stop with the Jews. In fact there are two other books that came after, which I will now borrow
reference from. They are the New Testament and Al Quran, the Final Testament. So without further
ado, please bear witness to the wonderful phenomenon of spiritual self determination in action as I
present to you.... the rest of the story.

The New Testament

There is still a lot more history to the peoples of Jacob and their descendants between
Deuteronomy and the New Testament but far too much to go into detail at this time, so I will give a
brief overview. Now before the coming of Jesus, the most popular protagonist in the western paradigm
of religious literature, the Israelites continued to have problems and get into trouble. This played out
exactly as Moses had foretold in Deuteronomy 32:24-29. There were the Judges of the Israelites
including the Philistines, Moabites and Ammonites to name a few, who came by leave of God, to
punish these descendants of Jacob for their sins and encourage repentance. And the reigns of the kings
of the Israelites, Saul, David and Solomon, and the division of the nation of Israelites into two
kingdoms, one being Judah. Then about 2000 years after the Israelites long arduous journey out of
Egypt, the prophet Jesus was born, and I will turn to narratives of his life as my first testimony within
my rights to self determination of belief.

From the very beginning of the New Testament in Matthew 2, we find a telling of a prophecy
which reveals the next episode to happen in the lives of the people of Israel.
Matthew 2:1-6
In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to
Jerusalem, asking, ‘Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star
at its rising, and have come to pay him homage.’ When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and
all Jerusalem with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired
of them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him, ‘In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been
written by the prophet: “And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the
rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel.”

The ruler mentioned who shall come is non other than Jesus, from the land of Judah of the
divided kingdom of Israel. He would come for the lost Israelites. Now lets look at some other
significant mentions in the Bible of how Jesus' life was related to the descendants of Jacob. In the book
of Matthews 15 we find the touching story of Jesus' compassion to a Canaanite woman whose daughter
was supposedly possessed. However far more intriguing to me than Jesus' clemency or even his
miraculous healing of the possessed child, is the remark he makes to his apostles when asked to assist
the distressed woman.

Matthew 15:22-24
And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and was crying, "Have mercy on me, O
Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely oppressed by a demon." But he did not answer her a word.
And his disciples came and begged him, saying, "Send her away, for she is crying out after us." He
answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." But she came and knelt before
him, saying, ‘Lord, help me.’ He answered, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the
dogs.’ She said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’ Then
Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.’ And her daughter
was healed instantly.

Indeed Jesus, by his own admission was here to call the Israelites of Old Testament fame back
to worship of The One God. (Also note Jesus' cryptic analogy comparing the Israelites to children and
the Gentiles to dogs.) You see, between when we left poor Moses a few pages back, near death and
cursing the transgressions of his own people, and this profound statement by Jesus in Matthew 15:24,
the Israelites had not only become divided, conquered, and lost, all to the tune of God and Moses'
foretelling, but they had also fallen back to the sin of paganism or idol worship. In other words, they
had utterly corrupted their original faith or the original teachings of Moses. God surely must have loved
these Israelites because even after so many iniquities he sent a prophet who's main purpose was to
bring them back to the straight path. So important was this duty to Jesus that he even commanded his
apostles to do the same.

Matthew 10:5-7
These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of
the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying,
'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

Of course because of the person Jesus was, more than just the lost Israelites were drawn to his
message. Modern day Christianity is a testimony to that. One might even say that the gentiles who
Jesus asked his apostles to overlook in Matthew 10:5 were far more attracted to what Jesus had to offer
than the Israelites were. Further, the relationship between Jesus and the religious leaders of the time
claiming representation to the house of Israel also gives us insight as to the true fate of these sons of
Jacob, these Hebrews, these Jews, these Israelites; or the occupiers of present day Palestine who claim
the rights of this lineage. Those that represented governance of this line at the time are referred to as
Pharisees in the Bible.

One particular story that portrays this relationship between the prophet Jesus and these
Pharisees appears in John 8, and this narrative is almost shocking in its descriptive prose. Here we are
told of a most popular scene in Jesus life often referred to as the sermon on the mount. Jesus would
often approach the Mount of Olives to preach to the peoples and during this particular sermon he was
approached by a number of Pharisees who had with them a woman of iniquity by their own claims.
According to the Pharisees, she was guilty of adultery and were demanding she be stoned to death
according to their laws. After much debating Jesus finally rose and made one of his most quoted
maxims. He said, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Now Jesus was keen to the wily ways of the Pharisees and he knew all to well that they were
attempting to trick him. This is clearly stated in John 8:3-6.

John 8:3-6
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her
stand before all of them, they said to him, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of
committing adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you
say?’ They said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him.

The above verse testifies to the malevolence of these Pharisees who represented the house of
Israel at the time. But knowing the woman was innocent and aware of the trap set by these Pharisees,
Jesus put them in their place and after making his statement, many of the gathered crowed who had
been stirred into a vengeful frenzy by the false witnesses slowly dispersed and the woman was let go.
Those among the Pharisees who stayed, entered into a debate with Jesus and continued to try and make
him say something that might allow them to accuse him of blasphemy according to their own corrupt
laws. This famous debate climaxed in the following account, still in John 8.

John 8:39-47
They (the Pharisees) answered him, ‘Abraham is our father.’ Jesus said to them, ‘If you were
Abraham’s children, you would be doing what Abraham did, but now you are trying to kill me, a man
who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. You are indeed doing
what your father does.’ They said to him, ‘We are not illegitimate children; we have one father, God
himself.’ Jesus said to them, ‘If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and
now I am here. I did not come on my own, but he sent me. Why do you not understand what I say? It is
because you cannot accept my word. You are from your father the devil, and you choose to do your
father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because
there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the
father of lies. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which of you convicts me of sin? If I
tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Whoever is from God hears the words of God. The reason
you do not hear them is that you are not from God.

The lineage, or at least those that represented the house of Israel at the time, are here being
accused by Jesus of being the children of the devil! This is a most shocking and blunt accusation.
These are supposedly the same people that the Zionist Israeli's claim they descend from and share this
right of return to ancient Canaan or modern day Palestine. Not only does the above narration reveal
more of the fate of the Israelites but it also brings to light the question of what may have actually
happened to this original nation of people. For indeed if the Israelites were considered by God as his
chosen people, why would Jesus, a prophet of God, be condemning these holy representatives of this
same nation, as children of the devil? This actually leads into the final portion of my argument where I
question the claims of the Zionist Jews running Israel when they say they are descendants of the same
tribes who migrated under the guidance of Moses out of Egypt about 4000 years ago and, who despite
evidence of a broken covenant, reserve the right to not only exist as an autonomous state in Palestine,
but at the cost of the rights of those who were already there.

But before I get into questions of claims of lineage and ancestry, I would like to first quickly
move on to what could be called the newer testament, better known as Al Quran to further exercise my
right of spiritual self determination and present more evidence as to the fate of these Israelites.

Al Quran

As the drama of mankind unfolded and still does today, so did our perpetual and dynamic
relationship with our creator. After Jesus disappeared from the theological scene, approximately 600
more years of history would pass before God would deliver to humans the final testament through the
prophet Muhammad known as Al Quran.

In a sense, Muhammad was a very distant blood relative of Jacob whom God renamed Israel.
You see, going back to Abraham, father of Issac, father of Jacob, we have to recall Abraham's other
son, the first born half brother of Isaac, the prophet Ismael. As Isaac's lineage gave birth to a number of
prophets including Moses and Jesus, so to did Ismael's lineage. And 600 years after Jesus appeared
Muhammad who was of the lineage of Ismael, the brother of Isaac, broke onto the scene. The message
was the same only the time was different, and within the pages of Al Quran are many more narratives
which retell and reveal more of what had happened to the Israelites of old.

Before I present some samplings from Al Quran which narrate more of the fate of the Israelites,
I want to give you something to ponder. If you remember back to the Old Testament, Genesis 15:18-21,
God made a promise to Abraham that he would give this area of land to his descendants made up of
ancient Canaan or modern day Palestine and Syria. I will show those verses here once more.

Genesis 15:18-21
On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram (Abraham), saying, ‘To your descendants I give
this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, the land of the Kenites, the
Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the
Girgashites, and the Jebusites.’

Considering that Abraham had two sons, Ismael and Isaac and that from these two sons
descended both the Jewish patriarchal prophets and those of the Muslims, based on the above narration,
both these lineages would have rights to the land promised. This means that according to the Zionist's
own sources for right to occupation of this holy land, the Arabs would have just as much right to
occupy this land as they too are descendants of Abraham through the line of Ismael. Continuing...

In Quran, the Children of Israel or the prophet Jacob/Israel are mentioned in no less than 40
verses but I will only go into a few examples here. First I will now present verses from Al Quran
which show how God regards the descendants of Jacob or Israel in Quran.

Al Baqarah – The Heifer 2:40, 47

O Children of Israel, remember My blessings that I had blessed you with, and fulfill your pledge to Me
that I may fulfill My pledge to you, and revere Me alone.

O Children of Israel, remember My blessings that I had blessed you with, and that I had preferred you
to all the worlds!

Even in Quran the children of Israel are commanded to remember the favors bestowed on them
by God and that he preferred them to all the worlds. He also tells them to remember the pledge or
covenant in where God commanded them to worship Him and Him alone. However Quran also makes
mention of how the Israelites broke this pledge or covenant.

Al Baqarah – The Heifer 2:83

We took the covenant of the Children of Israel, "You shall not serve except God, and regard your
parents, and regard the relatives, and the orphans, and the needy, and say kind things to the people,
and observe the Contact prayer, and contribute towards betterment." Then you turned away, except a
few of you; you were objecting.

Again not only is the covenant of the children of Israel mentioned but also the conditions that
were part of it. And we can see that most of these Israelites turned away and broke this covenant. Here I
want to point out a few things. First is that because God is perfectly just, He is not going to condemn an
entire population because of the iniquities of some. As we can see, although most of the Israelites were
guilty of breaking the covenant, a few of them remained steadfast in their promise to uphold the
covenant according to the stipulations agreed upon. These stipulations were, worshiping God alone,
regarding the family, orphans and the needy, being kind, observing prayer and contributing toward
betterment in the world. The second thing I want to point out also leads me to another case in my
argument, and this involves the above mentioned conditions surrounding the covenant.

Deeds, Not Words

The present occupiers of Palestine and rulers of the state of Israel use their right of spiritual self
determinism to justify their being in the holy land today, and that justification centers around this
promise of God to grant them this land based on the covenant and the conditions therein. However, as I
have shown, this covenant was broken by the Israelites thus forfeiting their right to occupy the land.
Further since the covenant was bound by the certain conditions mentioned above, clearly the Israelites
right to occupy the land is based not on simply the mention of a promise or covenant but relies solely
on the behavior of these people. In other words, as long as the Israelites had maintained an attitude of
kindness and compassion towards others and contributed towards betterment in the world, they would
have had full authority to exist as any state in the holy land. Now the question I ask you is this. Based
on the current actions of the self proclaimed Jews who run the state of Israel today, do you believe that
they are even currently upholding the conditions of their covenant with God mentioned above, thus
allowing them the right to the occupation of Palestine? My answer is a definite NO. The modern day
Israelites or Jews of Israel are showing no actions or deeds that fall into the categories of kindness,
compassion or betterment.
 In fact, Rabbi Elmer Berger supports my above claim. The quote below can be found in the
book “The Founding Myths Of Israel Politics” by Roger Garaudy.viii It comes from a conference
entitled 'Prophecy, Zionism and the State of Israel held at Leiden University, Netherlands, on March
20th, 1968.

"Zion could not expect the restoration of a people resting on treaties, alliances, military balances of
power or a military hierarchy seeking to establish its superiority over the neighbors of Israel. ....The
prophetic tradition clearly shows that the holiness of a land does not depend on its soil, nor that of its
people's sole presence on that territory. The only thing that is sacred and worthy of Zion is the divine
Covenant which expresses itself in the deeds of its people.” - Rabbi Elmer Berger

Yes, it is the deeds of the people that will justify Israel's existence not words, yet those who
currently represent Israel and have forcibly occupied Palestine have proven completely through their
deeds of the last 50 years, that not only do they not deserve to occupy that holy land, but any other land
they might choose to settle in. Now I will move on to the last part of my article which further
challenges modern Israels claims of the right to occupy Palestine by exploring the ancestral origins of
these modern day occupiers and asking the question, 'What is a Jew?'

Jew Who?

Perhaps even more mystifying than trying to define the State of Israel or concepts of self
determination, is trying to define the simple word Jew. What or who is a Jew? Does the word represent
a faith or a race of people? Where does it come from? Lets begin at looking at where this English word
'Jew' originated from, and who better to get a definitive meaning from than a 'Jew' himself by the name
of Benjamin H. Freedman. Mr. Freedman was a Jewish Businessman and American, born in 1890. He
has written material and given speeches on the subjects of Jews, Judaism, Zionism and the State of
Israel. The following is from a letter he wrote to a Dr. David Goldstein in 1954 which was later
published as a booklet entitled 'Facts are Facts'.

“It is an incontestable fact that the word "Jew" did not come into existence until the year 1775. Prior
to 1775 the word "Jew" did not exist in any language. The word "Jew" was introduced into the English
for the first time in the 18th century when Sheridan used it in his play "The Rivals", II,i, "She shall
have a skin like a mummy, and the beard of a Jew". Prior to this use of the word "Jew" in the English
language by Sheridan in 1775 the word "Jew" had not become a word in the English language.
Shakespeare never saw the word "Jew" as you will see. Shakespeare never used the word "Jew" in any
of his works, the common general belief to the contrary notwithstanding. In his "Merchant of Venice",
V.III.i.61, Shakespeare wrote as follows: "what is the reason? I am a Iewe; hath not a Iewe eyes?".ix

So this word Jew did not exist until 1775 and it is this word that the current Zionists running
Israel choose to identify themselves with, but what of the title of their faith, Judaism? Is this the true
faith of the original Israelites? If you remember back to John 8 from the New testament, Jesus was
calling the Pharisees the “children of the devil'. These Pharisees were what represented the Israelites at
the time but obviously they did not refer to themselves as Jews. So what did they call themselves?
What was their faith? Surely if Jesus was calling them the sons of devils, they couldn't have been
following the teachings of Moses.
 After the reign of Solomon, almost 3000 years ago, the kingdom of Israel, which was made up
of the descendants of the prophet Jacob, became divided. The southern part became known as Judea.
This is in fact where Jerusalem was and where Jesus came from. Jesus was a Judean, or a man from
Judea. This is also where the Pharisees that were at odds with Jesus were from. In the northern part of
broken Israel, calves were inserted into temples and they became a center for Baal worship. In
Jerusalem, in the southern part known as Judah, the same occurred. In fact, the temples that these
Pharisees over saw had become so corrupt, that Jesus eventually stormed the main temple,whip in
hand, and kicked everyone out because it had become a market place rather than a place of worship.

During this time, the faith followed by the Pharisees was not called Judaism. The name Judea or
Judean is only a reference to a piece of land and represents neither a religious faith nor a race of people.
The people of Judea at that time were simply descendants of Jacob and those who remained true to the
covenant of God simply followed the rules and guidelines that were laid down by Moses during their
ancestral exodus from Egypt. NOWHERE in the Old Testament will you find God stating that the faith
he was prescribing to the Children of Israel was to be called Judaism, and nowhere will you find these
Israelites mentioned as being Jews. Quoting again from the same book by Freedman:

“During the lifetime of Jesus there was not a form of religious worship practiced in Judea or elsewhere
in the known world which bore a name even remotely resembling the name of the political subdivision
of the Roman Empire; i.e., "Judaism" from "Judea". No cult or sect existed by such a name.”

Judeans were a people from the geographical area which would now be Palestine. They did not
call themselves Jews nor did they refer to their religious beliefs as Judaism. But to set the record
straight, here is what Freedman says about how the English word Jew came into existence and regular
use.

“The available manuscripts from the 4th century to the 18th century accurately trace the origin and
give the complete history of the word "Jew" in the English language. In these manuscripts are to be
found all the many earlier English equivalents extending through the 14 centuries from the 4th to the
18th century. From the Latin "Iudaeus" to the English "Jew" these English forms included
successively: "Gyu", "Giu", "Iu", "Iuu", "Iuw", "Ieuu", "Ieuy", "Iwe", "Iow", "Iewe", "leue", "Iue",
"Ive", "lew", and then finally in the 18th century, "Jew". The many earlier English equivalents for
"Jews" through the 14 centuries are "Giwis", "Giws", "Gyues", "Gywes", "Giwes", "Geus", "Iuys",
"Iows", "Iouis", "Iews", and then also finally in the 18th century, "Jews".

“With the rapidly expanding use in England in the 18th century for the first time in history of the
greatly improved printing presses unlimited quantities of the New Testament were printed. These
revised 18th century editions of the earlier 14th century first translations into the English language
were then widely distributed throughout England and the English speaking world among families who
had never possessed a copy of the New Testament in any language. In these 18th century editions with
revisions the word "Jew" appeared for the first time in any English translations. The word "Jew" as it
was used in the 18th century editions has since continued in use in all elections of the New Testament
in the English language. The use of the word "Jew" thus was stabilized.”

Therefore, one has to be conscious of these facts when they freely drop the name 'Jew' so as not
to be confused by current modern abstract definitions of the word. Today most people identify the word
'Jew' with a person who either belongs to a certain race of people or who follows the religious belief
known today as Judaism or both. However, understanding now where the word comes from, we can
clearly see that to cement the word 'Jew' with race or religion is not entirely accurate at all. These Jews
of Israel cannot claim lineage to the Israelites who descended from Jacob as an identity of race based
on their self given title 'Jew' because the name was nonexistent until the 18th century; it is not a race. No
race of people who identified themselves with the name Jew has ever existed. Further, to claim of
nationality based on the modern name of the state of Israel is illegitimate as well because no such state
ever existed that met the criteria given by God in the covenant.

If indeed we choose to identify the word 'Jew' with someone who follows the religion Judaism,
how could we also define it as a race? If I am a Christian can I claim to be of the Christian race? If I am
a Muslim can I claim to be of the Muslim race? Perhaps I could say I am Islamish. If I chose to become
a follower of Judaism would I then suddenly belong to this 'Jewish' race? You can see how ridiculous
this concept is but very few people contemplate such things. Now that we have a better understanding
of the etymological roots of the word 'Jew', before we go any further, let us now see what some famous
Jews themselves have said about what a Jew really is.

Leo N. Levi, President of B'nai B'rith, 1900-1904:

"The distinctive character of the Jew does not arise solely from his religion. It is true that his race and
religion are indissolubly connected, but whatever be the cause of this junction of the race idea with the
religion, it is very certain that the religion alone does not constitute the people. A believer in the Jewish
faith does not by reason of that fact become a Jew. On the other hand, however, a Jew by birth remains
a Jew, even though he abjures his religion."x

Moses Hess, Jewish Zionist, from his Book 'Rome & Jerusalem:xi

"The Jews are something more than mere 'followers of a religion,' namely, they are a race, a
brotherhood, a nation." (p. 71).

"A Jew belongs to his race and consequently also to Judaism, in spite of the fact that he or his
ancestors have become apostates." (pp. 97-98).

"Jewish religion is, above all, Jewish patriotism." (p. 61).

'A Guide to Zionism' – Book published by the Zionist Organization of America:xii

"The name of their national religion, Judaism, is derived from their national designation. An
unreligous Jew is still a Jew, and he can with difficulty escape his allegiance only by repudiating the
name of Jew." (p. 5).

Leon Simon, Jewish scholar and writer, from his book 'Studies in Jewish Nationalism':xiii

"Judaism has no message of salvation for the individual soul, as Christianity has; all its ideas are
bound up with the existence of the Jewish nation." (p. 20).

"The idea that Jews are a religious sect, precisely parallel to Catholics and Protestants, is nonsense."
(p. 34).”

Although I have only shown a few quotes, it is an undeniable fact that the paradigm of the
Jewish consciousness is dominated by an identity of race or nationalism, even though historically, no
such race or nation has ever existed! If these Jews are a race, what do we compare them to? Could we
compare them to races and racial terms such as Negroid, Caucasian or Asian? It seems that we cannot,
and that their concept of race seems to fall into some kind of abstract and unique subgroup as is
supported by the almost schizophrenic attempt to define themselves in the quotes above. However,
after rereading the first 5 books of the Old Testament in preparation to write this piece, it did remind
me of where this concept of nation hood or unity comes from. The only problem I have is the fact that
those who represent the State of Israel today, have no real connection whatsoever to the descendants of
Jacob who migrated from Egypt and fell from grace with God. In a sense, they have stolen the identity
of the Israelites of OT infamy and borrowed a corrupt form of their religious beliefs to justify their acts
against all that is humane in modern Palestine. And to back up that claim, I want to now explore the
real racial and national roots of these Zionist Jews of modern Israel.

The Original Israelites

Another way I will attempt to argue Israel's right to exist based on biblical justifications of
spiritual and national self determination, is to show that the Jew's who represent her, Israel, as a nation
have no direct ancestral link to the Israelites who migrated under the guidance of Moses around 4000
years ago. I have already shown that these original Israelites did not identify with the word Jew or
Judaism at all, as these words and the concepts that surround them today did not exist, so who were
they exactly in comparison to the Jews of Israel today?

The first thing we must be aware of, is time and geographical location to paint an accurate
picture of the peoples of Jacob who fled Egypt. These events played out in what we call the Middle
East and North Africa today and approximately 4000 years ago. Although most people assume that the
modern day Jews of Israel are descended from these middle eastern Semites, I want to show how this is
completely inaccurate. In fact the Jews who represent Israel today are not Semitic at all, despite their
constant cries of antisemitism, many of which I will probably hear after presenting this essay. The
modern Israeli Jews, and perhaps 80-90% of all self proclaimed Jews today are in fact of an entirely
different race known as Ashkenazi or of a Khazar descent. But before I get into revealing the true
identity of the Zionist Jews now occupying Palestine, I want to show you what the original Israelites or
Hebrews were like.

Appearance

Imagine for a moment that you are in Egypt 4000 years ago. You are one of the Israelis that
descended from those that migrated with Joseph and the 12 sons of Jacob. Look around you. It is hot
and dry, yet you feel the occasional waft of moisture from the breeze blowing in off the mother Nile
that irrigates the fertile land around her. Your people enjoyed favor under the Pharaoh that ruled when
Joseph first arrived but now you live as a slave along side your people. One of your own who was
taken in by this cruel Pharaoh, and goes by the name of Moses has begun a rebellion and speaks of
freeing you and leading you back to your homeland. Now look at all the people surrounding you. What
do you suppose they look like? Do you think they looked like..............

Popular false image of Jesus

If these are the images of the Israelites from 2000 BC that your imagination conjured up, you've
got a lot of serious Hollywood conditioning to remove from your mind. In fact, one can begin by
simply looking at the Old Testament to get a more accurate description of what these people really
looked like. And, as the Israeli Jews of today always use scripture to justify there existence as the
current corrupt state they are, I too will use their own scripture again, to show how wrong they are.

The Black Egyptians

The Israelites of Exodus fame originally descended from Issac, son of Abraham as I mentioned
before. And Abraham is descended from Shem, son of Noah. Noah had two other sons named Ham and
Japheth. These three sons were responsible for creating the nations that would settle around Africa and
the area known today as the Middle East. When the Israelites came to Egypt, known as the land of
Ham, the Egyptians at that time were a black or negroid race. That is they had dark skin and woolly
hair. Certainly not the Egyptians that Hollywood likes to portray today. Just as we imagine Africans to
be today, the Egyptians of Moses' time were black, and the first Pharaoh's were Nubian. If we look at
the ancient Egyptian writing of how they described their own people it tells us exactly what they
looked like.
 xv

Nubia was a land that made up parts of modern Southern Egypt and Northern Sudan. It
inhabitants were black and archaeological evidence was found that prove it may have been home to the
worlds oldest known monarchy. Predating the first know Egyptian monarchy by 200 years. This article
from a 1979 New York Times mentions this.xvi
 I understand that many people, especially in the western world, are still hungover from the
fantasy version of history so commonly portrayed by Hollywood, but there is too much evidence to
ignore Ancient Egypt's oldest cultures and peoples most likely being dominated by a black or Negroid
African race. This fact is important to keep in mind when we approach the evidences of characteristics
of the original Israelites found in the Old Testament. According to another source:

“Until most recently in history, the ancient Egyptians have been associated with Black Africans by a
host of Europeans. According to Herodotus, The Egyptians told me that in their opinion the Colchians
were descended from soldiers of Seosteris. I had conjectured as much myself from two pointers, firstly
because they have black skins and kinky hair...alone among mankind, the Egyptians and Ethiopians
have practiced circumcision since time immemorial. Other contemporaries such as Aristotle, Diodorus,
Lucian, Apollodorus and Aeschylus make similar observations. More modern accounts have been given
by Count Volney, Champollion the Elder and E.A.Wallis Budge to name a few.”xvii

Count Volney, the French philosopher and historian who is mentioned in the above quote, spent
many years in Egypt, Syria and other places in the Middle East. He later wrote 'Voyage en Egypte et en
Syrie' about his experiences. He had this to say about the Ancient Egyptians.

“The ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native born Africans. That being so,
we can see how their blood mixed for several centuries with that of the Romans and Greeks, must have
lost the intensity of it's original color, while retaining none the less the imprint of it's original mold. We
can even state as a general principle that the face (referring to The Sphinx) is a kind of monument able,
in many cases, to attest to or shed light on historical evidence on the origins of the people.”

"What a subject for meditation, just think that the race of black men today our slaves and the object of
our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, science and even the use of our speech."xviii

Now that you have a better idea of what the Egyptians looked like during the slavery of the
Israelites, I now want to give Biblical evidence that not only the Egyptians but also these tribes or sons
of Jacob were also very black or dark skinned indeed.

The Black Israelites

If you remember my discussions of Genesis in the OT, I mentioned how it was the betrayal of
Joseph by his brothers and Joseph's subsequent journey to Egypt to be traded as a slave which began
the story of the Israelites history in Egypt. If we look at Genesis 42:6-8 we find our first clue as to the
true identity of the Israelites or descendants of Jacob.

Genesis 42:6-8
Now Joseph was governor over the land; it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s
brothers came and bowed themselves before him with their faces to the ground. When Joseph saw his
brothers, he recognized them, but he treated them like strangers and spoke harshly to them. ‘Where do
you come from?’ he said. They said, ‘From the land of Canaan, to buy food.’ Although Joseph had
recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him.
 We see that Joseph's own brothers did not recognize him as he stood as authority among
Egyptians. If Joseph had been white or pale in color his brothers would have easily recognized him
among a bunch of black Egyptians. But because his skin was very dark he blended in well with the
local people.

When Moses was born, it was during the reign of a Pharaoh who disliked the number of
Hebrews of Israelites now occupying his kingdom. Fearing being overrun by the Hebrews, the Pharaoh
decided to have the male children killed if they were born to a Hebrew woman. After Moses was born
and his mother could hide him no longer, she decided to abandon him in the Nile. Later Moses was
found by a daughter of the Pharaoh. Feeling pity on the child and assuming it was a Hebrew child, she
took it in and claimed it for her own. Moses grew up and spent forty years living secretly among the
Egyptians. That is, the Pharaoh thought for forty years that Moses was his own grandson! How could
this be possible if Moses, a Hebrew, was pale skinned among black Egyptians? It simply could not.

During Moses ministry as a prophet of God, and during his attempts to convince Pharaoh to
release the Israelites, he was accompanied by a number of miracles. One such miracle was the turning
white of his hand. This episode is mentioned here in the OT.

Exodus 4:6-7
Again, the Lord said to him, ‘Put your hand inside your cloak.’ He put his hand into his cloak; and
when he took it out, his hand was leprous, as white as snow. Then God said, ‘Put your hand back into
your cloak’—so he put his hand back into his cloak, and when he took it out, it was restored like the
rest of his body—
When moses pulled out his hand it was white. This was meant to be a miracle incredible enough
to convince Pharaoh and his followers to believe in God and allow the enslaved Israelites to leave
Egypt and return to their homeland. How profound of a miracle would this have been if Moses had
white skin? Further, in Exodus 4:7, it says that when Moses placed his hand back into his cloak it was
restored back to looking like the rest of his body. If the miracle was turning it white than restoration
would mean back to a color other than white, namely black.

One more piece of evidence to the Israelites being of a black race appears in Leviticus 13. This
entire chapter is dedicated to describing the disease leprosy and how to diagnose it. The Israelites and
Egyptians all recognized this disease by it's symptom of turning the skin white.

Leviticus 13:3
If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair
thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:

Leviticus 13:6
And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark,
and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he
shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

When leprosy was evident during those times in Egypt, it was recognized by a discoloration of
the skin. That is the skin turned white. When the disease began to clear, the skin would turn dark again.
This is because the Egyptians and Israelites had dark or black skin, otherwise the skin returning to dark
would not have been mentioned as a sign of the disease clearing up. There are many more examples I
could give from Bible about the likenesses of the ancient Israelis but I'm sure you get the point.
However, I will provide a number of links below where anyone interested can continue to research both
Biblical and historical evidence confirming the black origins of the ancient Egyptians, Israelites and the
entire human race for that matter.

To sum up what I've shown so far, the modern Israeli Jews, cannot justify Palestinian
occupation as it is today based on their argument of self determination as a nation because they share
no ancestral lineage with the original Israelites found in the Old testament. Further, even if they were
descended from the original Israelites, they cannot justify their illegal occupation of Palestine based on
self determination of belief because based on the very scripture from which they draw that argument,
they had long broken the covenant and therefore have no divine privilege of occupying that land. Now I
would like to present some information, data and facts on just exactly where these modern day Israeli
Jews come from.

The Real Last Supper

The Khazars

About 80 to 90% of Jewish people today are of the Ashkenazim line of Jews. The rest are called
Sephardi Jews. The true black Israelite line or sons of Jacob are spread around the globe and very few
of them even relate to or recognize their true Hebrew heritage. The Jews who represent the modern
State of Israel are almost all Ashkenazi Jews and these Jews ARE NOT descended from the original
tribe of Israel. They are descended from a white Asiatic Mongol race from the ancient kingdom of
Khazar.

About 1000 years ago, The Khazar kingdom was around 800,000 square miles of land. The
heart of their kingdom lay between the Black and Caspian seas and bordered the Caucasus mountains
of modern day Armenia and Northern Iran. It was, at the time, larger than any other nation in Europe.
Below is a map of the Khazar kingdom around 700 to 1000 years ago, written as Khazaria.

The people of the kingdom of Khazar were pagans but were surrounded by the Muslim Empire
to the south and by a predominantly Christian Europe to west. Between 954 and 961 C.E., according to
certain manuscripts that still exist today, the then King of Khazar, who called himself Joseph
corresponded with a Spanish Israelite named Hasdai Ibn Sharprut. In this letter, the Khazar king stated
that, he and his people were from the line of Japheth, from the seed of Togarmah, Japheth's grandson.
He further stated that Togarmah, who was the brother of Ashkenaz, had ten sons and the Khazars
represented the seventh son.xix
 Japheth was one of the three sons of Noah, along with Ham, said to be the ancestor of the
African races and Shem from whom Abraham descended, and later the Israelites and Arabs. Whether or
not this claim was accurate or true, about 200 years after the above mentioned correspondence
occurred, another king of Khazaria decide to replace the ruling paganism of his land with one of the
three monotheistic faiths that surrounded his borders. It is said that he invited representatives from the
Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths to have a discussion and decide which faith to convert to. In the
end he chose Judaism, and just like that, a large population of white Mongol Khazars had become
Jewish. Some say that his motives to convert to Judaism were political and strategic. Because he was
surrounded by Muslims to the south and Christians to the west, he may have felt this conversion would
offend his neighboring countries the least. Not long after, around the 13th century C.E., the Khazar
kingdom ended and I will quote from the book 'The Thirteenth Tribe' by Arthur Koestler, about what
most likely happened next.

“What is in dispute is the fate of the Jewish Khazars after the destruction of their empire, in the twelfth
or thirteenth century. On this problem the sources are scant, but various late mediaeval Khazar
settlements are mentioned in the Crimea, in the Ukraine, in Hungary, Poland and Lithuania. The
general picture that emerges from these fragmentary pieces of information is that of a migration of
Khazar tribes and communities into those regions of Eastern Europe — mainly Russia and Poland —
where, at the dawn of the Modern Age, the greatest concentrations of Jews were found. This has lead
several historians to conjecture that a substantial part, and perhaps the majority of eastern Jews —
and hence of world Jewry — might be of Khazar, and not of Semitic Origin.”

“This was written before the full extent of the holocaust was known, but that does not alter the fact that
the large majority of surviving Jews in the world is of Eastern European — and thus perhaps mainly of
Khazar — origin. If so, this would mean that their ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the
Volga, not from Canaan but from the Caucasus, once believed to be the cradle of the Aryan race; and
that genetically they are more closely related to the Hun, Uigur and Magyar tribes than to the seed
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Should this turn out to be the case, then the term “anti-Semitism”
would become void of meaning, based on a misapprehension shared by both the killers and their
victims. The story of the Khazar Empire, as it slowly emerges from the past, begins to look like the most
cruel hoax which history has ever perpetrated.”xx

Not a hoax, but a circumstance of which the irony surpasses anything Jewish Hollywood has
ever produced. Indeed, as pagan Mongol converts to an already distorted faith penetrated Eastern
Europe and Russia, they would soon make their way to America and finally, by the ultra political
influence of the Zionist movement, many would find themselves coerced into moving to the illegal
state of Israel we know of today. This, dear reader, is the history of the so called Jews who are running
this current corrupt state of Israel. They are not, contrary to their constant cries; semitic, descendants of
the ancient tribe of Israel, nor are they Gods chosen people or deserving of occupying modern Palestine
on a promise of God. All of the above are the claims these Israeli Jews stand behind to justify
occupying Palestine, killing it's people and making a mockery of human rights and universal justice,
yet all are misleading and utterly false as I have shown.

This ultimate tragedy does not end here, but my argument does. I will not go into how Israel
took claim of the land of Palestine after World War 2 nor will I reflect on the Zionist hold that is present
within not only the consciousness of Israel but also of the entire so called Jewish nation. I hope that
anyone reading this will be inspired to research further themselves this issue involving Palestine and its
illegal and inhumane occupation by those who call themselves Jews and represent this Marxist state of
Israel. For now I will just end with a summary and conclusion of my argument and the point to this
short essay.

Conclusion

I hope I was able to prove that the claims used by those who support and represent the current
state of Israel to justify their illegal occupation of Palestine, based on the very sources they always use,
are in fact misleading and completely false. Those claims are that they are Gods chosen people, and the
land where Palestine and other middle eastern countries now are located, is theirs through a promise of
God. They also claim that they are a race and nation of the lineage of the ancient Israelites, and because
of their race and nationality they have Godly right to these lands. All of these claims are supported by
using the first 5 books of the Old Testament, or the Torah. I have proven by using the exact same
sources, as well as additional historical facts and evidences, that all of these claims are false. Therefore,
based on their own justifications and own sources, they have NO legal and NO moral right to not only
refuse the right of return of the already displaced indigenous Palestinians, but also had NO legal or
moral right to take the land in the first place. Further, not only based on their proven false claims but
also by their current inhumane and illegal actions, they certainly have NO right to remain in Palestine
for one day longer. These so called Jews are liars, thieves, murderers and idolaters. They should be
expunged immediately from Palestine and all those responsible for these atrocities should be brought to
justice and face the stiffest penalties if found guilty.

I claim that these self proclaimed Jews who supposedly follow this fabricated faith of Judaism,
are nothing but ancestors of a white, Asiatic, nomadic, barbaric, pagan tribe of Khazars, who in reality
remain pagans to this day or in the very least are a secular tribe who feign righteousness at the cost of
innocent lives. They have no ancestral or genetic tie with the land of Palestine. They have no claim to
the people of a broken covenant; that is they ARE NOT the Israelites of Biblical fame. They are not 'the
light of nations', they are not holy or religious, they are not God's chosen people. If we were to judge
these sick people by their actions over the last century, I would say they are nothing less then
descendants of the devil, and at this point I believe it would be their turn to prove that claim wrong.
The Jews of today who follow the ways of the so called leaders of their self proclaimed righteous
nation are NOT unique or special and they ARE NOT deserving of occupying Palestine let alone any
other place I can think of. If the world ever succeeds in confronting these villains and bringing them to
justice, I suggest we give them the Northern tip of Greenland as a place for them to fester and deviate.

If this small article falls into your hands, please pass it around. It is brief and only scratches the
surface of many important points, but if you managed to make it to the end, perhaps someone else will
also. Peace and Justice brothers and sisters. God willing these things will soon manifest for the
innocent Palestinians and any other victims of these immoral vampires who call themselves Jews and
represent this false State of Israel.

Peace
