To: Cronos
From the article
"1. The Hebrews of the Bible have no connection to the Jews today."
Cronos responded
Well, many Eastern European Jews are descendents of the Khazars but what about hte Yemeni jews or the Jews from Spain or North Africa or India? These were dispersed way before the Khazars converted
Certainly some Ashkenazi Jews (for instance me) are descended, in part, from the Khazar nobility that converted. However there was much more intermarriage with Slavic and Germanic Europeans. Still, the genetic evidence shows that Jews from around the world are genetically similar.

"2. The Hebrews of the Bible were Arabs."
If he means semitics then he is correct

Semites, yes. Southwestern nomads, like the Arabs, no.

"3. The Prophets of the Bible were Muslims."
Slammies believe that the prophets were all slammies

Supercession theologies are not pretty.

"5. Solomon’s Temple was not built by Israelites but by Arab Canaanites."
Canaanites were not Arabs.

If you believe the Bible and the Koran, this is untrue since the Canaanites where destroyed by then.
If you go by linguistics, Ancient Hebrew is a Canaanite laguage, similar to Phonecian, and Ugaritic. However, it had Northwester Semitic influences, even before Aramaic became the lingua-franca of the region.
However, the Arabs were Southwestern Semites.

"6. The Canaanites are the forefathers of the Palestinians"
Maybe, to some extent

Not historically.

"9. The location of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is a Zionist invention."
The lies these slammies tell and believe!

No, both the Torah and Koran place it on Mt. Moriah.

huh? Both Arabs and Jews are semitics, how can there be racism if they both belong to the same race?
It is tribalist.

To: All

Actually, what is wrong with the fairly obvious proposition that the Biblical Edomites and Midianites (Midianite, after all, was a generic term for all Bedouins) were the ancestors of today's Palestinians ?
