Here's a link to a very interesting blog site. Beware: this is "CONTROVERSIAL"

1. If this wasn't so addled it'd be rank anti-Semitism.

“It is at the core of Jerusalem’s history do we find the darkest secrets of Zionism: deception”

4. It's not anti-semitic.

I know it’s controversial. I was raised a Southern Baptist AND a Preacher’s Kid, so you can imagine my first, second and third reaction. However, geology and archeology do NOT support the idea that Palestine was ancient Israel. Geology DOES support the idea that the Jews were originally from Yemen and Arabia. Doing any archeological work there is impossible because it’s too dangerous. Yemen is under attack from ISIL, being bombed by Russia and the USA, and who knows who else.

I'm sure there are "terrorists" there. They've always been there.

All I'm saying is, instead of just rejecting the author's conclusions, LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE! If the evidence doesn't hold up, then you can dismiss it.

BTW, thanks for the links.

6. At least you're not contesting it's addled.

2. I'd self-delete at once, if I were you

(well, I never would have posted crap from an antisemitic site in the first place). Yes, someone who says Mossad secretly controls ISIS is antisemitic. The "Jews came from Yemen" bollocks is just an idiotic conspiracy theory, that has to ignore history outside the Bible.

3. I see. So you're saying the history outside the Bible is bunk.

[rug]

5. No, he's saying you're posting shit.

So am I.

7. Did you even bother to read the article? Of course not.

The author is no harder on Zionists than on ISIL.

[rug]

8. Hell yes, I did. His idea of Zionism is all too familiar.

He should spend less time praising the pyramids and more time looking at the last century.

10. The history outside the Bible puts Israelites in the area of Canaan about 1200 BCE

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merneptah_Stele

That's the first of various written records from outside the area that talk about a people or kings from the bible from before the "Babylonian exile" that match with the biblical names.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_artifacts_in_biblical_archaeology

There's no archaeological evidence for the 'exodus', or Israelites living in Egypt. But there is for Israelite kingdoms in the accepted area, from about 1000 BCE onwards.

Your source, on the other hand, is antisemitic filth. Delete it, for your own reputation.

9. I half expected to read the old "Jews are really

Khazars, not descendants of ancient Israelites" schtick here but I guess that the idea that Israel controls ISIS is about as crazy as he could manage at the time.

11. Oh, that's there too - there was too much for rug to list in one post
