Where did the Jews originate? The Secret of Jewish History

Speaking of Jews, I believe everyone will not be unfamiliar with this nation. Jews are a branch of ancient Semitic people, and they are of the same origin as Arabs. Ethnic groups belong to Semitic people in Europe, and there are Semitic species. According to the definition of halaka in Jewish law, all people who convert to Judaism and those born to Jewish mothers belong to Jews.

Jews originated from Hebrew in Israel or West Asia. In a narrow sense, it should be traced back to history in the category of "race". According to the statistics of Jewish organizations, the total number of Jews in the world in 20 17 was about140,000, of which 6.3 million settled in Israel, 5.7 million lived in the United States, and the rest were scattered around the world. Israel is the only country in the world with Jews as its main ethnic group.

When the Nile and the two river basins are shining with splendid civilization, a unique nation in human history is also thriving. As a new force active in the vast Middle East, they wandered between the Arabian Peninsula and the great river civilization, and finally settled in Canaan under the leadership of Moses and Joshua.

Marx called this nation a "precocious nation". This group of "holy book people" founded the oldest monotheistic religion, which has a perfect and unique cultural system and formed national unity.

Jews are "unique" in human history, and many people call them "the nation with the highest IQ", but their uniqueness is also reflected in their ill-fated life.

Lose the country prematurely.

The history of Jewish founding is full of legends. Saul succeeded Moses and Joshua as king, and his military ability helped him defeat many foreigners. King David became famous for knocking down Goliath, the giant, and eventually replaced Saul, which profoundly changed the history of the Jewish state.

But soon, the glory of the Jews could not be maintained, and their country was divided into two regimes. The regime in the north is called "Israel". Its internal struggle and the corruption of the regime gave King Sargon II of Assyria a chance and eventually destroyed the country in 722 BC.

The country in the south is called Judas. Although the economic development is not as good as that of the northern brothers, they live longer with favorable defensive terrain. However, they only survived between Egypt and the new kingdom of Babylon.

In 586 BC, Nebuchadnezzar II, the new king of Babylon, invaded Jerusalem, blinded Sidchia, the Jewish king, and took his subjects to Babylon, known as "Babylonian prisoners".

This blow was fatal to the Jews, who suffered an unprecedented national crisis and laid the groundwork for their future wandering career. Persian cyrus the great once helped Jews to return to their homeland, but they were just poor people under the protection of Persian monarchs, which was later proved by facts.

Alexander and his successors appeared one after another, and Canaan became the battlefield of heroes. Successors were a little tolerant of Jews, but later Romans were not so friendly.

For more than 2,000 years, from the ancient kingdom of Judah in der untergang, New Babylon, in 586 BC to the establishment of modern Israel, the Jews have been a people who lost their sovereignty, especially after two uprisings against Rome were suppressed, which made the Jews not only lose their sovereignty, but also lose their homes and become a wandering people.

Anywhere in the world, no matter how early they come, how long they live and how much they contribute, they will always be regarded as strangers.

Religious belief

Jews created the earliest monotheism in human history, and they were very proud of it. They ignored all other beliefs. Jehovah is the God in Jewish belief. Jews believe that God has inspired them and swear that they are God's chosen people.

This xenophobia is naturally despised by other monotheistic religions, especially Christianity, which was born out of Judaism. Christians were persecuted by the Roman Empire in the early days, but they had advantages that Judaism did not have.

The Roman Empire was in danger, and Constantine the Great greatly promoted the status of Christianity. During the period of Theodosius I, Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire. Even after the fall of the Roman Empire, Christianity flourished under the impetus of the Roman Church and gradually became the mainstream belief in the European continent.

Because of "borrowing" Judaism, Christianity is more exclusive to other faiths. Christians transferred the death of Jesus from the Romans to the Jews, and all kinds of evil charges were given to the Jewish nation.

Under the long-term anti-semitic education, it has become more and more common for Christians to slaughter Jews. The Roman church even acquiesced in the massacre of Jews, which directly contributed to the Jewish massacre.

During the Crusades in European history, killing Jews almost became a compulsory course for Christians, reminding people that Spartans had to declare war on Herodotus before going out to war. This massive crusade was originally intended to "liberate" Jerusalem, but Jews became the first victims.

economic factor

The ability of Jews to do business and make money is recognized all over the world. Some Jews who immigrated to Europe in those days were usurers. Usury was originally prohibited by Christianity, but the Jewish creditors were not only princes and nobles, but also bishops, cardinals and even the Pope himself borrowed money from Jewish bankers.

Jews living in Europe pay higher taxes than Christians, but they live well on usury and other industries that only they can do, which is inevitably envied by the whole society. Under normal circumstances, after Jews are expelled, their property will be plundered; However, Europeans will allow Jews to "conditionally return to their place of residence" provided that they pay a "residence right purchase fee".

The economic strength of Jews has aroused the dissatisfaction of European businessmen and handicraft guilds. They are very supportive of the policy of cracking down on the Jewish nation, which can relieve their pressure.

1290, the English monarch Edward I of England was deported to the Jews on a large scale.

Jewish usury offended the royal family, nobles and church. Edward tried to force these heretics to convert, but in the end he failed. He also tried to lead Jewish economic activities to handicrafts and other fields, but this was strongly opposed by domestic operators, and some Jews who lost their economic resources embarked on the road of robbery, causing social instability.

The king can't bear it, and all fields of society need him to balance, so Jews inevitably become victims. 1290 ship sent Jews out of the British Isles, and it was not until Cromwell that the Jewish nation was allowed to return to Britain.

nationalism

In addition to the above factors, the rising nationalism in modern times has also done great harm to Jews. Nationalism in Europe can be traced back to the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France.

In modern times, nationalism is becoming more and more powerful, and every country makes full use of nationalism to promote its independence, revolution or reform. When the Nazis came to power in Germany, the whole of Germany thought that the "Versailles-Washington" system was a disgrace to them, which also led to the abnormal development of German nationalism.

Hitler declared that the Aryans were the best people in the world, and the "pervert" of Jews made the irrational Nazism more and more crazy, which led to the crazy persecution and slaughter of Jews.

The Nazi regime's crazy political persecution, horrible concentration camps and mass killings have caused unprecedented disasters to the entire Jewish nation. No wonder Einstein and other geniuses took refuge in the United States, and the extreme policy of the Nazi group was to tie themselves up.

Make friends with Muslims

After World War II, Jews returned to their former homeland to establish a country with the consent of western countries, but this is not allowed by Muslims who have settled in the Middle East for a long time.

Compared with Christians, Muslims practice a certain degree of religious tolerance through "Miller's special performance". Jews can stick to their beliefs as long as they don't oppose Muslims and pay taxes on time.

The Middle East has been a place of frequent wars since ancient times, and the end of World War II has not changed this. With the support of the United States and other western countries, Israel has won many Middle East wars with its own strength. But it is difficult for Israel and Arab countries to completely destroy each other.

The continuous war has brought huge losses to both sides, and it is difficult to guarantee the safety of people's lives. This state is difficult to fundamentally change in the short term.

As a wonderful flower of human civilization, Jews have made indelible contributions to human civilization, but their tragic fate in history is also lamentable.

Now, the Jews who have been displaced for 2000 years have been founded for decades. Now the challenges they face are mainly how to get along with the Islamic countries around them, how to get rid of the illusion of "God's voters" and how to integrate into the world more openly.
