Historical Identity Theft

THE PLIGHT THAT DOESN’T SHUT UP. The Palestinians are throwing rocks again and threatening a religious war, for a change. This time, because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has had the audacity to place “the second holiest place for the Jewish people, after Temple Mount in Jerusalem,” “on a list of 150 national heritage sites.”

The Cave of the Machpelah, or the Tomb of the Patriarchs, “and the adjoining field were purchased—at full market price—by Abraham some 3700 years ago. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah are all later buried in the same Cave of Machpelah. These are considered the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Jewish people. The only one who is missing is Rachel, who was buried near Bethlehem where she died in childbirth.” [Jewish Virtual Library]

CNSNews.com:

Although a predominantly Arab city today, Hebron’s importance to Jews goes back to the foundation of their faith. According to the Old Testament (Genesis 49), Abraham bought a cave known as Machpela at the site to bury his wife, Sarah and was himself also buried there, along with Isaac and Jacob, as well as Isaac’s wife Rebecca, and Jacob’s first wife, Leah.

The Old Testament also records that Hebron was the capital of the kingdom of Israel for seven years before King David moved to Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5). Rabbis consider the Cave of the Patriarchs the second holiest site in Judaism, after the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Hebron as a city is also one of Judaism’s four holy cities, the others being Jerusalem, Tiberias and Tzfat.

Historians say Hebron had a small, almost continuous Jewish presence for thousands of years until 1929, when it ended abruptly after 67 members of the then 800-strong Jewish community were killed during three days of Arab riots.

The Obama Administration and the UN have condemned Israel. Scum all.

Muslims have no historical claim to this site except that they have conducted a kind of theological and historical Jihad—or national identity theft—claiming Jewish and Christian formative biblical figures and sites as their own.

This from my “The Final Solution to the Jewish State” touches on the grand Muslim scheme to appropriate the annals of the Jews as their own:

“This Palestinian theology … strips away Jesus’ Jewishness and turns him into a sui generis Arab-Palestinian Jesus, a twin of the Muslim Jesus. Christianity, thus liberated from its Jewish roots, can be transplanted in Arab-Islamism. This would place Palestine, and not Israel, at the origin of Christianity, making Israelis usurpers of the Islamic-Christian-Palestinian homeland. This theory denies the historical continuity between modern Israel and its biblical ancestor, the locus of nascent Christianity.”

So when proponents of the increasingly popular Palestinian replacement theology … speak of the existence of Israel as a sin, and then smuggle in the concept of the Palestinian Jesus—know that they’re pirating ancient Jewish history by superimposing Palestinian fiction on it.

Know that these archetype Amalekites are engaged in the ultimate identity theft so as to bring about the end of the Jewish state as we know it.”

    Ilana,
    There can be no dispute of the roots of Christians in the Holy Land — the root of Jesse, the order of Melchizedek, the Mother of Christ, G-d, our Father, as also the Father of the patriarchs,Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Pope Benedict’s recent book, Jesus of Nazareth, assumes and asserts this obvious truth time and time again. At one time 25 % of the Palestinian population living in or near the Holy Land was Christian while now it is probably less than 4 or 5%.(maybe less) Recently I met a Palestinian Christian who was selling olive wood figurines that he and his family had been sculpting and crafting for generations. He spoke of the desolation of his family and communities during this last generation. I assumed from his talk that the Moslems were at war with Christians in the Holy Land as much as they were with the Jewish inhabitants. Is this a mistaken notion? Does the Jewish government in Israel have a better relationship with Palestinian Christians than with the Moslem population or are both Palestinian Christians and Moslems united against the Likud government? I thank you/readers for their response in advance. I have always respected your clear and honest comments about Israel and the tough spot they find themselves in for their very survival.

    or are both Palestinian and Moslems united the Likud government?

    Should read “united against the Likud government.” [Where? Not my text.]

    Exodus 17:16

    “For there is a hand on the throne of the Eternal, [that there shall be] a war for the Lord against Amalek from generation to generation.”

    Esther Chapter 3 verses 5,6,8

    5 When Haman saw that Mordechai would not kneel or bow before him, Haman was filled with wrath. 6 But he thought it contemptible to kill only Mordechai, for they had informed him of Mordechai’s nationality. Haman sought to annihilate all the Jews, Mordechai’s people, throughout Achashveirosh’s entire kingdom…
    8 Haman said to King Achashverosh, “There is one nation scattered and dispersed among the nations throughout the provinces of your kingdom, whose laws are unlike those of any other nation…

    And all of that was long before the Palestinian Jesus! (Palestinian Moses, anyone?)

    The Muslims are enraged. Again. So what? Everybody stands on their heads because the Muslims are mad. Does any serious thinking person really care? Except for the Jews who are in the line of fire the rest of us should ignore it.

    I tried to leave a comment earlier but, my blood started to boil so I had to leave it alone for a bit. All I can say is that the Muslims are just going to have to get over it! Is it me or are they the most easily offended people on earth? It would be one thing if their argument had any basis of truth to it, however the argument they’ve articulated is nonesense. The bones of the patriarchs of Israel are in Hebron. Mr. Netanyahu was correct in adding the second most holy site to Jews to the list of 150 national heritage sites.

    BTW did you know that David and Solomon were also Palestinian? I really need a saracasm font!
