TODAY’S PALESTINIANS ARE NOT “AMALEK”,
BUT IN FACT THE DIRECT DESCENDANTS
OF THE BIBLICAL JUDEANS
GROK 4–”Shlomo Sand’s The Invention of the Jewish People (2008) argues that the concept of a unified Jewish people
with a continuous ethnic and historical identity is a modern construct, largely invented in the 19th century
to serve nationalist and Zionist agendas.
Sand challenges the traditional narrative that Jews worldwide share a direct, unbroken lineage from the ancient Israelites. He argues that modern Jews are primarily descendants of various groups who converted to Judaism across the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, rather than a single ethnic group exiled from ancient Judea. He emphasizes historical waves of proselytism, particularly during the Hellenistic period and among groups like the Khazars, a Turkic people who converted to Judaism in the early medieval period.”

In his 2008 book “The Invention of the Jewish People”, Professor Shlomo Sand showed that the Ancient Biblical Judeans were not “pure Hebrews”.
Because Judaic Proselytism thrived in 150 BC until 1 AD, only about 25 percent of Ancient Judeans in Christ’s time were “pure Hebrews” observing Judaic customs (20 percent were members of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi, and 5 percent were “pure Hebrew” Samaritans who began as Israelites from the Northern Kingdom, then got deported by the Assyrians, but finally made their way back to what was now Roman Judea).
But roughly 75 percent of Ancient Judeans in Christ’s time were non-Hebrews, who had converted, or had been forcibly converted, to Judaic customs. The subgroups in this bloc: 55 percent of Ancient Judeans were Canaanite Edomites (where Edom is shown in red in the following map: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/Edom.PNG); 15 percent of Ancient Judeans were Arabic Ishmaelites; and 5 percent of Ancient Judeans were Canaanites of non-Edomite tribes who had not yet been driven out, as Joshua was told to do, in order to grab the Promised Land. So, 75 percent of Judeans were Canaanites or Arabs who followed Judaic customs, but were not actual Hebrews.
CORRECT TERMINOLOGY
Because Roman Judea was a multi-ethnic province, the correct demonym should have been the geographical term JUDEAN. The most stunning mistranslation in history came when Reformation Bibles (such as the Tyndale, Geneva, KJV, and Luther Bibles) mistranslated the JUDEANS using the ethno-religious term “Jews”. Thus, for instance, the street-crowd given the Jesus-or-Barabbas option was multi-ethnic and clearly not “purely Hebrew”. But, more importantly, there is no evidence whatsoever that this entire crowd was observing Judaic customs. So, mistranslating the members of this street-crowd as “Jews” was a grave error based on atrocious translation work.
Another correct translation in English might have been the geographical term JUDAHITES. In German, the right translation should have been “Judäer” but Luther printed “Juden”. Overall, JUDEAN or JUDAHITE should have been used to correctly translate both the Hebrew term YEHUDI (OT) and the Greek term IOUDAIOS (NT).

THE ROMANS DID NOT “EXILE” THE WHOLE POPULATION AWAY FROM ROMAN JUDEA
Sand gave three reasons why the Romans did NOT in fact “exile” the entire population of Ancient Judea:
1. It would have been extremely unprofitable to exile a whole conquered people because of the low productivity and the low production levels of that era. Farming production and tax-receipts would have sunk to ZERO but Roman policy was that each province must pay for itself and remit any surpluses to Rome’s central coffers.
2. The Romans did not have the logistical means to migrate an entire people (no trucks, trains, warships).
3. Judean annalist Flavius Josephus (born in Jerusalem as Yosef ben Mattityahu) was a notorious embellisher, but not even Josephus ever claimed that the Romans had “exiled” “all” the Judeans after 70 AD.
This thoroughly debunks the logistically-impossible Zionist myth about “all” Judeans departing Judea after 70 AD.
SO WHAT REALLY BECAME OF THE JUDEANS AFTER 70 AD?
Sand cites numerous data-points that prove that the Judeans were NOT driven to far-off places. Instead they converted to other faiths. In 135 AD, after the suppression of the Bar Kokhba Revolt, the Romans renamed Judea to “Palestine”. Thenceforth, two demonyms were used to refer to the locals, i.e. JUDEANS or PALESTINIANS.
Sand emphasizes that, in order to survive, ancient peoples were far more likely to change their religion than they were to change their physical location. He stresses that no one should ever overestimate the mobility of ancient peoples or their willingness to migrate. Separately, the “Ten Lost Tribes Mythology” was debunked because the Old Testament, New Testament, cuneiform tablets, and archeological evidence all proved that the Assyrians exiled an ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM of only about 1 to 2 percent of the peoples of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.
In the event, roughly 10 percent of Ancient Judeans had converted to Christianity by 500 AD, whereas another roughly 85 percent of them had converted to Islam by 700 AD. Only a tiny minority of Judeans retained Judaic customs.
LINGUISTIC EVIDENCE
The spoken language of today’s Palestinians preserves a large number of Biblical terms, including place-names for their mountain-villages, mountain-streams, springs, valleys. That is further powerful evidence that today’s Palestinians are the real descendants of the Ancient Biblical Judeans. This also debunks the Zionist propaganda notion that today’s Palestinians are “scattered Arabic peasants unconnected to Biblical Judea”.
PALESTINE IN 1800 AD
Sand says that MANY people cannot accept emotionally that a very large number of Judeans converted to Islam (and a lesser number to Christianity) although this must be accepted as a plain and simple fact.
Sand concludes that today’s Palestinians are the direct descendants of the Biblical Judeans. He also lists the research-results of several other scholars who came to the exact same conclusion. Needless to say, Sand’s findings did not exactly make him the most popular man in today’s Antichrist State of Israel.
THE REAL ORIGINS OF MODERN JEWS
Eastern Europe was a major trading hub, so East Europeans had an incentive to convert to Judaism in order to gain access to the Usury Sector, which was forbidden to Christians and Muslims. This MAY be the reason why there was a greater proportion of Jews in Eastern Europe than elsewhere. But even if the exact reason is unknown, DNA evidence is nonetheless positive that most modern Jews do indeed stem from Eastern Europe.
DNA evidence shows that most modern Jews are Japhetic East Europeans.
CONCLUSION
Professor Shlomo Sand debunked THREE ENORMOUS MYTHS:
1. There is no evidence that the Jews are even a “people” or a “race”, let alone that the Jews have a long history.
2. The Romans never “exiled” the Judeans from Judea in 70 AD. Most, or all, of them stayed and converted.
3. Not even the Ancient Judeans were a “uniform race”; only about one-fourth of them were “pure Hebrews”.
