Shlomo Sand: ‘There are Israeli, not Jewish people’
August 23rd, 2009 § 4 Comments
Jews living in Tel Aviv, New York or Moscow do not share the same secular practices and language and thus cannot be called one people, says Professor Shlomo Sand.

Message to the Jews – Gilad Atzmon – angst needs enemies
Makes sense to me. The only common denominator is religion. It may be legitimate to speak of “fellow Jews,” but even here I think the religious differences are major too. My Judaism is not just a deed to property in the West Bank, and I’m sure it doesn’t measure up to Ovadia Josef’s standards. Sand makes some sensible points, and it’s clear to me that Zionism is simply an attempt to politicize Judaism. I’m sure he will be branded an anti-Semite within 9 seconds of this video becoming published.
I’m afraid Shlomo Sand has taken you for a ride. His crackpot theories about the Jews in Israel not being Jews and the Palestinians being the real Jews have been the source of non-stop laughter in every academic institute around the world.
What is the reason for this. Well, if you didn’t know it, now it can be told. This swindler is a teacher of the history of literay French culture in the 19th century. His entire knowledge of the history of the Jews comes from the Wahabi textbooks published by the jihadists in Riyadh madrassas in Saudi Arabia, headquarters of Jew hatred for the last 49 years.
Truth be told, the British people are the true Jews and the Palestinians are the real Syrians. These facts may be ascertained in any Christian history of Palestine published from 1856 to 1941.
Mr. de Girardin is right about the bogus theories of Shlomo Sand. But his claim that the Palestinians are the real Syrians is only true since the 1850s. Before then, the Palestinians hailed from the Kays clan of the Hijaz in Arabia, north of Yemen.
