Now there's a book I think I'll be picking up for a read.

Dr. Sand's main argument is that until little more than a century ago, Jews thought of themselves as Jews only because they shared a common religion. At the turn of the 20th century, he said, Zionist Jews challenged this idea and started creating a national history by inventing the idea that Jews existed as a people separate from their religion.

But beyond converts to Judaism, don't the Jews exist as a race in as much as they are one of several groups of semetic peoples that originated from that area of the Middle East?

But most of those Jews never left Palestine. They just converted to Islam when the Muslims came in. Most of the Jews that went to Israel are descendants of Khazars who converted to Judaism and then spread west across Europe. Israel is just another example of white Europeans invading and taking over another darker peoples' land. Europeans are killing the descendants of Abraham and claiming that they are the descendants.
