We may start in the tenth century BCE, where archaeologists have after diligent study found no trace of King Solomon, his Temple or his empire. Half a century of intensive excavation of the Holy Land has now reached that conclusion. The alleged mighty empire of David and Solomon, stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates \u2013 on the basis of which the modern state of Israel was formed \u2013 did not exist. Meanwhile the Bible makes no mention of the great empire of Egypt, which really did in that period stretch from the Nile to the Euphrates. These things must be relegated to storyland, like Moses parting the Red Sea. Experts were finally attaining this negative conclusion as the new millennium dawned, e.g. \u2013<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Mythic Past, Biblical Archaeology and the Myth of Israel,<\/em> Thomas Thompson, 1999<\/li>\n<li><em>David and Solomon, In search of the Bible\u2019s sacred Kings, <\/em>Israel Finklestein and N.A. Silberman, 2006<\/li>\n<li><em>The Quest for the Historical Israel<\/em>, Finklestein and A.

They went to work with a trowel in one hand and the Bible in the other but received a big shock. The Holy Land did indeed reveal to them centuries of devout monotheism during the time recorded by their ancient scriptures \u2013 but, it was a reverence for the Goddess, as shown by the thousands of figurines dug up everywhere in Judea where they excavated. They were all similar with head, torso and large naked breasts.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_2\">[2]<\/a> Nor could any trace be discerned of a fierce invasion of Canaan by the Children of Israel as their texts averred, plus the odd record of their Jehovah-god had him with a partner, his \u2018Asherath.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It was discovered that, in the tenth century BCE there had been an intensive drought (the \u2018Mycenaean Drought\u2019 which spread across the whole Eastern Mediterranean, lasting for a couple of centuries, which caused many farms and villages to be abandoned. Jerusalem, built on a mountain, had little by way of water supply or fertile land and may well have then been uninhabited, or at best it was a small village selling olives \u2013 that\u2019s all. It <em>had no king <\/em>because there were no kingdoms. Only a century later did the little kingdoms in Canaan \u2013 viz. Judea, Ephraim, Samaria\/Israel, Moab and Edom, etc. \u2013 start to develop, as the drought eased off and the grip of Egypt\u2019s empire weakened. The main cities having temples were then Samaria and Megiddio but not Jerusalem \u2013 the latter only grew into the thriving capital city of Judea a few centuries later.<\/p>\n<p>Ancient Israel was sometimes called Samaria and the Assyrians alluded to it as the land of Omri or Omrides, king Omri being its first king. \u2018Israel\u2019 may have been more the name of a people than a nation-state. As a region West of the river Jordan \u2013 south of Galilee and north of Ephraim and Judea \u2013 it was wiped out forever in 720 BCE after it made the mistake of challenging the mighty Assyrian empire. Israel was defeated and absorbed by the Assyrian army, then Hebrews started moving south to Judea which grew strong and prosperous.<\/p>\n<p>Hebrew scriptures told of a brutal god:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Anything devoted to destruction is most holy to the Lord<\/p>\n<p>(Leviticus 27:28) and gave heroic-but-fictional accounts of the wiping out cities, slaying of armies, grabbing the loot, etc., with a god constantly reassuring them that they were the apple of His eye and inherently superior to other peoples.<\/p>\n<p>That narrative, whereby they were <em>chosen,<\/em> has been disintegrating during the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. The hope at the foundation of modern Israel <em>is in the process of self-extinguishing,<\/em> as the full implications of the whole history-that-never-happened continue to unfold. The learned opus by professor Shlomo Sand, <em>The Invention of the Jewish People,<\/em> well reviewed this process of self-knowledge, a process of cultural implosion, of apprehending that which had not historically existed.<\/p>\n<p>Jews today hardly believe any longer in the god of <em>Deuteronomy<\/em> or <em>Leviticus<\/em>. To quote the view of a modern Egyptologist:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The rules he [Yahweh] laid down \u2026 were draconian in the extreme, and the deity\u2019s will utterly barbaric. Alien groups whose actions or even presence were deemed in opposition to Israel are consigned to genocidal slaughter at the behest of Yahweh (Exod. 17:14; Num. 31; 1 Sam. 15:3); even fraternization with foreigners brings the plague (Num. 25:9, 18). Anyone who dissents Yahweh burns up (Num. 11:1-3; 16:35); anyone who complains he strikes with plague (Num. 11:33; 14:37; 16:49), or sends poisonous snakes after (Num. 21:6). Aberrant cultic practices, even though indulged in innocently, bring death (Exod. 32:35; Num. 15 :37-40).<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_3\">[3]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>With belief in their Yahweh god fading, can their collective identity endure?<\/p>\n<p>The science of genetics looked as if it would come to the rescue, and the search for an \u2018Abraham gene\u2019 was on. Or, would it merely show that European Jews had come from Khazaria, an empire on the steppes of Russia which broke up in the tenth century, as Arthur Koestler had argued?<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_4\">[4]<\/a> Koestler\u2019s thesis remains moderately credible, though the historical record is scant: \u2018Khazaria collapsed some time before the first indications of the presence of Jews in Eastern Europe, and it is difficult not to connect he two.\u201d (Sand, p.246)<\/p>\n<p>As regards the genetic studies, Shlomo Sand reckoned that, \u201cThe bottom line is that, after all the costly \u2018scientific\u2019 endeavors, a Jewish individual cannot be defined by any biological criteria whatsoever.\u201d (Sand, p.278) Modern Israel had become, Sand concluded,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u2018a state whose main purpose is to serve, not a civil-egalitarian <em>demos<\/em>, but a biological-religious <em>ethnos<\/em> that is wholly fictitious. (p.307)<\/p>\n<p>He was doubtful, as to whether that could endure.<\/p>\n<p>Jews have always had a strong collective being. As an intellectual and cosmopolitan people they tend to lack an inherent connection to a land, a country, a geography. Their self-perception is a continual merry-go-round as to whether they exist as a race, nation or religion. The Hebrew script does extend right back to the 8<sup>th<\/sup> century BCE being one of the very first alphabetical scripts and the only one that has endured for so long. It is their <em>story<\/em> which unfolds over millennia that confers upon them their \u2018we,\u2019 binding them together. Their power comes from getting others to believe it.<\/p>\n<p>Today, excitement thrums around the so-called Temple Mount in Jerusalem where Jews plan to build the Third Temple. Surely they cannot do so because no \u2018First Temple\u2019 ever existed, no temple was ever built on that site.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_5\">[5]<\/a> No Hebrew temple was built at the top of a mountain, whereas the Romans <em>always<\/em> built their forts at the highest point of a locality. That large, flat surface of 35 acres was built as the site of the Roman Tenth Legion and has amazingly lasted for two thousand years. There never was a Temple of Solomon or ruins thereof on it or underneath it.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_6\">[6]<\/a> That wall the Jews pray to is the side of a fort where dwelt the Tenth Legion \u2013 the one that helped to wipe out a million Jews<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_7\">[7]<\/a> in 70 AD.<\/p>\n<p>This could be a time for Christians to pay attention to the verse \u201cDo not believe the stories of the Jews\u2019 (Titus 1:14).<\/p>\n<p>Comparing the land of Israel as it was formed in 1949 (see map) with the ancient land, one notes with amusement that the so-called \u2018West Bank\u2019 area, where ancient Israel did actually exist (see map) was excluded! That indicates a degree of historical confusion. Also, how come they got to claim that large chunk of the Sinai desert, nowhere near either ancient Israel or Judea?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_271260\" style=\"width: 241px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/JewishNK-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-271260\" class=\"wp-image-271260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/JewishNK-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"231\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/JewishNK-1.png 330w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/JewishNK-1-138x300.png 138w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-271260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/JewishNK-2a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-271261 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/JewishNK-2a.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"238\" height=\"290\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Three millennia later, we arrive at a comparably massive untruth. The story of the Holocaust served to confer upon Jews their special \u2018chosen\u2019 identity in the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century. It came to the rescue, by employing a dualism whereby the Nazis of WW2 were <em>Evil,<\/em> and the Jews whom they targeted were <em>Good<\/em>. That Manichean dualism of good-versus-evil was established at the post-war Nuremberg trials, since when it has been promulgated relentlessly through the entertainment industry. If Jews had been rounded up by the evil Nazis, then by that modern secular criterion they could re-emerge as the Chosen Ones. It\u2019s quite simple, just watch Stephen Spielberg.<\/p>\n<p>This theme has been explored in Gilad Atzmon\u2019s <em>The Wandering Who<\/em>?:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Yeshayahu Leibowitz, the philosopher who was an observant orthodox Jew, told me once: \u201cThe Jewish religion died 200 years ago. Now there is nothing that unifies the Jews around the world apart from the Holocaust\u201d <em>Remember what? Remember how? Uri Avnery 19.3.05<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_8\">[8]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[N.B., Atzmon, a Sephardic Jew who grew up in Israel and served in the IDF, was found guilty of \u2018antisemitism\u2019 in Marylebone Magistrate\u2019s court \u2013 sued successfully by the Campaign Against Antisemitism! It was surreal: those guys just don\u2019t know when to stop.]<\/p>\n<p>Towards the end of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century as belief in the origin stories was fading away, the Holohoax morphed into a fearsome modern religion, in which belief is compulsory. As a <em>passport of identity<\/em> it confers upon Jews a unity and reinforces their special status. Nowadays a mere statue of Anne Frank can conjure up the narrative.<\/p>\n<p>How great an effect does such an untruth exert upon our world! As a science historian I appeal for a recognition of the way in which normal hygiene technology did then operate, in the German labour-camps.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_9\">[9]<\/a> Debate on this topic is prohibited because the Establishment knows that it will lose the argument. As to why they need to hang onto it, let us have the courage to answer that question.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, in WW2 the deadly Nazi cyanide gas chambers were most efficient and they killed millions. Yes. They killed millions of bugs, not jews. Is it not time Jews stopped trying to confuse themselves with bugs? It is undignified. Because of their high IQ their continual claim that it was they, not bugs, that the Zyklon killed continues to warp our whole culture.<\/p>\n<p>Take the fact that around 40% of labour-camp inmates were Jewish. That is unbearable, and why is it unbearable? We are not allowed to discuss it even though it comes from public-domain information.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_10\">[10]<\/a> It is unbearable <em>because<\/em> it would destroy the \u2018chosen\u2019 status of Jews. They comprised less than half of the camp inmates. But that would mean they were no longer special. Whereas, it is OK to say that homosexuals were rounded up and likewise doomed to go into the \u2018death camps.\u2019 They are allowed to <em>share the virtue<\/em> of being rounded up by <em>Ze Evil Nazis<\/em>. They can participate in the fictional narrative <em>because<\/em> they would be very few in relation to the Jews and so their imaginary presence would not invalidate the holy, sacred doom of the Jews.<\/p>\n<p>Or, take another simple fact: mortality of Jews in the camps was on average no different from other inmates, i.e. overall, they died at much the same rate. It is (I suggest) preferable to avoid giving numbers, so relentless has been the mental programming in that realm. People have padlocked minds and you\u2019ll only get a short soundbite on the matter, if that. Nonetheless if humanity wants a constructive future it needs to endure open discussion on this topic, painful though it may be. Let\u2019s be crystal-clear that the Revisionist is going to win any such debate. Try this for a short soundbite: \u2018More Catholics than Jews died at Auschwitz.\u2019<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_11\">[11]<\/a> Simple facts like this could (I suggest) be effective. Or if you prefer to avoid using the J-word, how about: <em>nobody died of gas in WW2<\/em>; or maybe: \u2018Large human gas chambers have <em>never existed <\/em>in human history <em>.\u2019<\/em> Such simple affirmations can clear away fear and horror. Or, an allusion to the colour pink should be fairly non-threatening, maybe? Try saying, \u2018Shame they got the colour wrong\u2019. Death by cyanide leaves a bright pink body, a result of its oxygen-denial mechanism and there was <em>not a single allusion<\/em> to a pink corpse in any German labour-camp made at Nuremberg,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_12\">[12]<\/a> or anywhere else. Bad science \u2013 they got the colour wrong! Or, try this short quip used by Kevin Barrett: Once Zyklon started to be introduced into the German labour-camps, in the summer of 1942, mortality went <em>down<\/em>, not <em>up.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>These soundbites are short enough that you might just be able to get them in before the key of the mental padlock is turned.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/article\/judaism-as-a-self-terminating-religion\/#footnote_13\">[13]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Christians need to apprehend that it is not a virtue to believe in that which never existed. That won\u2019t save your soul. At both ends of the amazing three-thousand years of Jewish history are tremendous phantoms, imaginations which we the Goyim have been led to believe. That which never was, which never had existence is inscribed as fact in books the whole world over. We need a collective therapy experience of discussing What Really Happened. Only the power of Truth can save us now. Are we capable of that?<\/p>\n<p>Judaism we may conclude must inevitably self-terminate in this 21<sup>st<\/sup> century, simply because of the intellectual power of modern Jews, who cannot hope to avoid seeing how their identity-defining narratives have disintegrated.
