The Invention of the Jewish People (1844676234) - Reviews and Prices

Editorial Review:

Bestselling new analysis of Jewish history by a leading Israeli historian.

A historical tour de force, The Invention of the Jewish People offers a groundbreaking account of Jewish and Israeli history. Exploding the myth that there was a forced Jewish exile in the first century at the hands of the Romans, Israeli historian Shlomo Sand argues that most modern Jews descend from converts, whose native lands were scattered across the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

In this iconoclastic work, which spent nineteen weeks on the Israeli bestseller list and won the coveted Aujourd'hui Award in France, Sand provides the intellectual foundations for a new vision of Israel's future.

The Jewish People Invented Not Only G-d:

On page 52 the author writes about Germanic cultural world,
"Thanks to long existence of a high culture only a few moderate corrections were needed to define the national boundaries." In vain a reader would look for the root causes of ethnogenesis. A thorough compilation of the well known facts is not a guarantee of the original thought.
On page 53 he continues, "But the East given its... more info

what a shmuck:

if only this poor confused member of the erev rav had had a crystal ball to know the dna evidence would discredit his sad exercise in self hatred shortly after its publication. all nazi retards would be better off reading something like the protocols for your Jewish history. Hey Shloime, do Tshuva kissing the feet of your enemys wont help you hate yourself less, and it wont protect Eretz Yisroel.
