Prof. Shlomo Sand : The invention of the Jewish people.
A foreword
The main goal of my Substack is to uncover the hidden truth. That's why I occasionally deviate thematically from the familiar territory of "medical fraud" to other areas. The brainwashing of citizens often practiced by greedy financial elites often includes historically false or exaggerated national feelings or a baseless pride in a particular group affiliation. This psychopathic game with human feelings also includes an artificially created belief such as "We are something better" and "The others represent an inferior group". In this way, people are incited against each other in the context of “divide and conquer”. The losers are always the ordinary citizens and the elites can possibly gain new sales markets or sell their weapons before they could rust. Seen in this context, today's topic seems very appropriate. Playing with national pride is also brainwashing. The pseudo-logic of such manipulation can be quickly uncovered and brought to the point. You cannot be proud of what you have not achieved yourself and only owe it to pure chance.
The facts speak for the equality and brotherhood between the people of Israel and the Palestinians.
The historically incorrect differentiation between the two peoples merely uses religious differences to serve foreign interests. Both Palestinians and Israeli citizens are being abused in this dirty game.
The Invention of the Jewish People - Israel's Founding Myth Under Examination (original "?מתי ואיך הומצא העם היהודי") is a book by the Israeli historian Shlomo Sand .
The book, whose original title literally translates to “When and how was the Jewish people invented?”, sparked controversy in Israel and France, among others. In the foreword to the German edition written in 2009, Sand states that “the gap between my research results and the understanding of history that is widespread in Israel and elsewhere is frighteningly large.” He did nothing other than process material that had long been presented but forgotten by Israeli Zionist historiography, although there was “nothing really new” in his work.

HIStory: Shlomo Sand
Hermann Ploppa
Published on: March 28, 2024
Welcome to a new episode of HIStory!
My name is Hermann Ploppa. We see before us the serious crisis in Palestine. We see how a nation-state of Israel is increasingly pushing Palestinians out of Israeli territory under the pretext of fighting dangerous terrorists. It is becoming increasingly clear that the nation state of Israel only accepts Jews as legal residents of Palestine.
Such a rigid policy presupposes that there is a homogeneous state of Jews or Israelites. However, this basic assumption is anything but uncontroversial even in Israel itself. The conflicts between different immigrant groups of Jews from different regions of the world are becoming increasingly clear. The difference between immigrants from Europe, Asia and Africa cannot be overlooked. Tensions arise between ethnic immigrant groups that are culturally very different from one another. In the official understanding, these differences have developed over the course of centuries and even millennia through assimilation into the respective cultures of the regions of the world in which the Jews have settled. Different variants emerged from a unified people in the exile of the so-called diaspora. Now they would meet again in their new homeland of Israel.
Is this narrative true? There have been repeated controversial discussions about this in Israel itself. Could it not also be the case that Jewish missionaries spread out into the world and converted other peoples to the Jewish faith? This assumption contradicts the official narrative of the State of Israel that the Jews living in Israel today are the descendants of those Jews who were once expelled from Palestine. This leads to the theory of ethnic and racial homogeneity. This also gives rise to the privilege of a master race that is superior to other peoples. This is expressed, among other things, in laws that prohibit Israeli Jews from marrying Palestinians <1>. Radical Orthodox Jews forcefully push Palestinians out of their places of residence on the grounds that they themselves have the sole right to live in these regions because their ancestors lived there two millennia ago.
But what if the story about the homogeneity of today's Jewish state people in Israel is not true at all? So what if the Jewish immigrants to Palestine are not the descendants of the Jews who were once supposedly expelled from Palestine? If this mass expulsion of Jews didn't even happen. And perhaps the Palestinians now driven out by the radical Zionist Jews are themselves the descendants of the ancient Jews? What if, ultimately, missionary New Jews drive out and murder the former Israelites who converted to Islam?
Hardly any other state in the world can point to such a complex history as the seventy-five-year-old nation state of Israel. Whether in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence; whether in the canon for history lessons; whether in the specially established university departments for Jewish history: everywhere the narrative is maintained by the homogeneous Jewish people who created the fantastic kingdoms of David and Solomon after the exodus from Egypt; which also survived the exile to Babylon. And which was scattered all over the world by the Romans after the uprisings in 70 AD. And that stuck together in the so-called diaspora so that one day they could return to the Promised Land in Palestine. A people scattered to the four winds who were the first people in world history to be fully literate. And which has preserved its identity in the Jewish enclaves in exile through zealous Bible study and strict observance of rituals through the millennia. After the Holocaust, the homogeneous Jewish people could finally have gathered again in their legitimate homeland to form a nation state. The Israeli Declaration of Independence of 1948 puts it this way: “The Jewish people arose in the land of Israel. This is where his spiritual, religious and political nature was shaped. Here people lived freely and independently. Here it created its national and universal culture and gave the world the Eternal Book of Books. Driven out by violence, the Jewish people remained loyal to their homeland even in exile. His hope never wavered. His prayer for homecoming and freedom never stopped. Inspired by the power of history and tradition, Jews of all generations sought to regain a foothold in their old country." <2> A few years ago, however, the historian Shlomo Sand from Tel Aviv University caused lively to heated discussions with a provocative book. The work with the provocative title “How the Jewish People Was Invented” was on the bestseller lists in Israel for a long time in 2010 <3>. Sand picks apart all of Israel's national creation stories mentioned above and relegates them to the realm of mythology. Reactions from the Israeli public have not always been sympathetic. Rolling squads attempted to blow up Shlomo Sand's lectures. Threatening letters and insults are part of everyday life for the intrepid historical researcher. Shlomo Sand was born in Linz, Austria, in 1946 as the son of Polish Holocaust survivors, and had already joined New Left organizations in Israel in the 1960s that were critical of Zionism. As a professor in Tel Aviv and Paris, Sand is actually an expert in modern European history, with a focus on France. He saved his excursion into Israeli history until he became a permanent full professor. Because, says Sand: “You have to pay a price for views of this kind in the Israeli academic world.” <4>
The deeper the historian from Tel Aviv delved into the ancient sources, the more astonished he was at how few creation stories of the people of Israel can be proven by documents. It begins with the biblical story of the exodus of the enslaved Israelites under Moses from Egypt to the Promised Land. This exodus, which took place in the 13th century BC, is not documented in any Egyptian chronicles, and the Promised Land was already part of Egypt's administrative territory at that time. There is also no archaeological evidence for the existence of the golden kingdoms of David and Solomon. In 70 AD, fundamentalist Jewish sects revolted against the Roman occupying forces. According to Sand, there is also a lack of historical evidence for the expulsion and dispersal of Jews from Palestine in all directions reported in the Jewish narrative. Because there simply weren't enough resources to drive out an entire people. The Romans did not drive people into exile, nor could they. They did not have railways or trucks to deport entire ethnic groups. The historian Shlomo Sand poses the startling question in a way that is both pointed and provocative: Are the Palestinians the legitimate descendants of the Israelites? Except for the leaders of the uprising in 70 BC, no one could have been taken out of the country. The vast majority of Jews were down-to-earth farmers who remained in the country under foreign rule. Later they adopted the Islamic faith and mixed with other peoples. The descendants of the indigenous Jews today would therefore be the residents who have been marginalized by the new Israeli settlers - i.e. the Palestinians in Israel, the Gaza Strip or the West Bank! Shlomo Sand concludes that the new settlers who make up the population of the modern nation-state of Israel have nothing to do with the ancient Israelites. The new settlers are the descendants of Jewish missionary peoples. Between the first century BC and the fourth century AD, Jewish missionaries spread to all regions of the Mediterranean. In addition to countless Jewish minority communities, entire kingdoms were converted to Judaism. For example, the Himya Empire in the area of today's Yemen should be mentioned here. Another kingdom was located in what is now Kurdistan.
In the sixth century AD, a Jewish-converted Berber Empire emerged in the Maghreb, whose remnants significantly influenced the Iberian caliphates in the following centuries. Around the same time, the semi-nomadic Turkic Khazar people adopted the Mosaic faith. The Khazar Empire stretched across what is now Ukraine. When the Mongols wiped out the Khazar Empire, the Khazars mixed with Slavs who were also Jewish missionaries and German-Jewish refugees from the pogroms in Mainz and Worms. The Eastern Jewish “Shtetl” residents are no more descendants of a Jewish diaspora from Palestine than the Iberian Sephardim or the Mosaic Yemenites, says Sand. These facts were well known to earlier generations of Judaizers. Even leading Zionists did not hide the fact that the Palestinians were the descendants of the Israelites. Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, later the second President of the Republic of Israel, said in 1929: “... the overwhelming majority of small farmers do not have their origins with the Arab conquerors, but rather, before them, with the Jewish farmers, who were rich in numbers and “We made up the majority in building the country.” Something similar was heard from David Ben Gurion at the time. The idea of the nation state that emerged in the nineteenth century also led to a reorientation in Zionist thought. The fact that the Khazars were not Jews in an ethnic sense was common knowledge in the nineteenth century. When Jewish scholars such as Isaak Markus Jost (1793-1860) and Leopold Zunz (1794-1886) still exercised influence in Germany, Judaism was clearly seen as a purely religious phenomenon. However, as nationalism gained ground in Germany, the emphasis in the Jewish community also began to shift. In Germany, the idea of the nation state emerged, which was to be inextricably linked to a leading, homogeneous master race. That was the time of the Germanic cult. In the USA, the opinion emerged that the national master race in North America was the Nordic Race, consisting of blonde, blue-eyed descendants of the English, Germans and Scandinavians. This view, formulated by Madison Grant, was incorporated into the immigration, sterilization and marriage ban laws in the USA <5>. The radicalization of the idea of the nation state, which was not carried out in its ethnic dimension in France, also led to a reorientation in the Zionist community. The Jewish historian Heinrich Graetz (1817-1891), in contrast to the Prussian historian Heinrich von Treitschke, no longer interpreted Judaism as a purely religious network, but increasingly as a nationalist movement.
Shlomo Sand bluntly assumes that the Zionist settlers in Israel are justifying their colonialist motives for seizing land with the construct of a displaced people who are now returning home. He writes about this in his book: “Revealing that the Jews do not come from Judea would obviously undermine the legitimacy of our existence here. From the beginning of decolonization, settlers could not simply say: We came, we won, and now we are here, in the way that the Americans, the whites in South Africa, and the Australians proclaimed." <6> Sand is concerned about a growing biologism in the Israeli debate about an alleged Jewish national people since the 1960s: "The 'origin of peoples' is now an accepted and popular research field in molecular biology." The officially established definition of Israeli democracy as "Jewish" however, prevents at least a fifth of citizens from identifying with Israel. Tensions are inevitable here, and it is questionable whether the small state of Israel can withstand these tensions in the long term. Consequently, Sand calls for a redrafting of the Israeli constitution: “There is a certain degree of perversion in the Israeli discourse about roots. It is an ethnocentric, biological and genetic discourse. But Israel has no existence as a Jewish state: if Israel does not become an open, multicultural society, then we will see a Kosovo in the Galilee. The awareness of the right to this place must be more flexible and varied, and if I have contributed with my book to the prospect that I and my children will be able to live together with the other groups here in the country in a more equal situation , then I contributed my bit to it.” <7> We learn from history how to make the future better.
