Dear
Friends
The
following is an article that I read and found to be more then worth
while translating from the Arabic language into English for the benefit
of those who are not Arabic literate, and those who were misled by such
myth.
The
article exposes the felicity of the Jewish Torah as it came to us, which
is a forgery of Babylonian legends that were copied to claim that there
is "a chosen people of god" who promised them other people's land, god
is love and won't do such a misdeed. I quote the words of the author:
"Possibly literally copying of the great achievements that the first
Iraqis perfected, starting with the Old Testament books that spread and
affected the beliefs of humankind."
Is it
possible that Zionism had a hand in destroying, burning and stealing the
contents of Iraqi museums to cover the old forgery of the Sumerian
legends to come out with their "holy Torah"?!
The
author said: "But these beliefs were exposed to a serious shaking
when the tablets and clay plates, which were preserved in the land of
Mesopotamia, started gradually to be discovered and translated. These
new discoveries defied what Jews imputed to themselves. these books were
mentioned in the writings of Somar and Babylon 1500 years
before recording the Bible."!!!
I
hope that I was able, in my translation, to transmit the message the
author worked hard to give.
For
Arabic readers I am attaching the original Arabic text.

Iraqi Jews:
from prosperity to oblivion
The Bible is the greatest forgery
in the history of mankind!!!
By the Iraqi
writer: Ali Ali-Assadi
Al-Balad
- Beirut Arabic daily
The relation of
the Jews with Iraq is not circumstantial or accidental, it has its roots
deep in history, that went throughout eras and stages, which goes back
to the time of the first registered history of Iraq. This relationship
saw -- if what was told about it is true -- rough and winding paths
that intermingle between the inherited and mythical with religious
beliefs, the metaphorical or the inspirational, and possibly literally
copying of the great achievements that the first Iraqis perfected,
starting with the Old Testament books that spread and affected the
beliefs of humankind. The Flood, Job and Genesis - to end with the
last archeological tablet destroyed or stolen from Iraqi museums, and
through the greatest love poem man had ever known -- The Sumerian
Psalms -- which was imitated or plagiarized by the Jews with minor
modifications which could not hide its Iraqi origin. More than
that there are proofs that the predicament of the "chosen people" on
which the Jews established later all the contents of their Bible could
have been inspired by the legend of "Era", the Babylonian god of
destruction. Researchers shall discover the congruity between the
contents of this Babylonian legend, and the Jewish covenant with the
Jewish god, Jehovah, who is a redacted copy of the Babylonian legendary
god.
Most Western
anthropologists used to believe that: "The Bible is the great
achievement of the Israeli people." These holy books formed the
beginning of the spiritual and ideological constituent for humanity, and
led to the establishment of milestones of the written history of the
civilization of the region, whose radiance inspired all human concept
since its early stages and it is still affecting it.
These are the
common beliefs that ascend to an echelon of holiness, thus putting them
out of the scope of discussion and doubt in Western thought, with the
exception of some intellectual pugnacity here and there. But these
beliefs were exposed to a serious shaking when the tablets and clay
plates, which were preserved in the land of Mesopotamia, started
gradually to be discovered and translated. These new discoveries
defied what the Jews imputed to themselves. these books were mentioned
in the writings of Somar and Babylon 1500 years before recording the
Bible.
The Israelites
were astonished with what they saw in Babylon after their captivity by
the Acadian king, "Nabokhuznassar". They, the captive and frightened
people, saw a great civilization, a civilization with incredible
achievements and strength.
As the weak dreams
of gaining the characteristics and possibilities of the strong, and to
imitate him and obtain his achievements even while daydreaming, the Jews
started to copy the recordrd cultural heritage of Babylon, or that which
is passed from lip to lip. The book that was most convenient and
expressive about the accumulative feelings of revenge in the hearts of
the Israelites against Babylon and its people, is that which talks about
the Babylonian god of revenge and epidemics, "Era".
The legend tells
that "Era" decides to take revenge from Babylon, because
its people slighted his word and threats, and when he starts with work
he announces that by a long psalm: "The time has come and is due
- I shall call out for the sun to abandon its rays - I shall cover the
face of the day with gloomy darkness - I shall destroy cities, and turn
them into rubble - I shall uproot trees and the thickets of reed, and
kill every human being in the land of Babylon - I shall demonstrate more
assassinations and revenge - I shall take the life of the son and make
the father burry him, then I shall take the life of the father who shall
find no body to burry him----------" The same style with a more
than obvious similarity, is what "Jehovah" follows in the
destruction of cities when and if his orders are disobeyed, he shall not
leave of it a trace to tell about its tragedy, as what happened in Sodom
and Amorah.
When "Era"
made the sky rain "asphalt and sulfur" to quench his thirst for
revenge from Babylon, his companion "Eschom" interfered to
curb his craving for blood and destruction and told him:
"Dignified 'Era' you killed the devious as you have taken the life of
the devout - You have taken the life of those who raise the Eucharist to
the gods, and you stole from the entourages of the kings, you have taken
the life of the patriarchs of the people, and you have taken the life of
the virgin, it is time for you to rest." And when "Era"
had a sudden gift repentance he decided to rebuild Babylon with greater
grandeur than in the past, but this time by a people of his choice,
people who were weak and lowly; so he gave his promise to "Eschom",
"Each land after another and a city after the other the Acadians shall
rise and subjugate them all, the Acadians shall arrest their great
enemies-----------" Then the psalm proceeds with listing what
remarkable victories and glorious deeds his chosen people, the Acadians,
shall achieve , and at the end the psalm tells them: "You shall
turn their cities to rubble, and get Babylon great spoils, all the
inhabitants shall bring to Babylon their tributes, and for long days
Babylon shall dominate the world."
The old history of
the Iraqi civilization states that the Acadian King Sargone founded the
Acadian dynasty, and ruled the country for 56 years, but the gabs that
history did not fill was the story of his birth and early life, but the
legend filled the gap and told us about this fabulous personality. It is
said that his mother was a holy prostitute in the temple of Eshtar, and
when she became pregnant and gave birth to him in secrecy, she put him
in a tar painted scuttle made of palm leaves, like those the Iraqis use
to cross rivers , and threw him in the Euphrates; so as not to lose her
position in the temple, because holy prostitutes were not supposed to
become mothers. He was picked from the river by one of the kings of
"Oroke". Sargone grew up in the king's palace till he had
the opportunity to flee with his followers across the Euphrates to
escape the kings oppression. He returned to "Oroke" after he built a big
army to conquer the whole country and established the Acadian dynasty.
Thus this is where
from the Israelites got their predicament of "The Chosen People".
They "improved" the Acadian legendary idea and altered it with little
effort, thus the Acadian god "Ira" become the Hebrew god
"Jehovah", who granted "his chosen people"
the strength, sovereignty and reign as was done by "Era" to
the Acadians - then they adopted the Acadian books, altered and copied
them to become a complete book that the Israelites went out with to the
world as a special inheritance that came down from god to his chosen
people.
The books of the
Torah lack any proofs supported by archeology, - which was confirmed a
few years ago by the Israeli archeologist, Rubenstein, when he said:
"I searched for thirty years for one single archeological find to
prove what came in the Torah, but did not find anything", which is
contrary to the Babylonian books that were recorded thousands of years
ago on tablets. Here lies the catastrophe that shall befall
on Israel when it loses its legendary moral and fideism justification
that form the foundations on which it was established, after
discovering the bases of the greatest forgery in the history of human
civilization.
It is important to
mention that the history of the Jews in Iraq did not take a rising graph
in which hatred was mobilized and revenge was forwarded. Following up
with history since the first contact of the Jews with Iraq it shows long
periods of stability and prosperity that the Jews lived there. This was
only possible due to the ease of their assimilation in the Iraqi
society, which drew a framework of behavioral conduct that was
surprising in a geographical atmosphere that was governed by severity,
and saw a chain of all sorts of tyrants - It had its roots deep in a
strange structural complex, which feeds on various sources that were
drawn by geography and framed with history.
It is claimed that
the Jews were the followers of Abraham with whom they emigrated from the
land of "Ore". It is said that they numbered about 4000
men and women, but many historians do not accept this claim even though
it is logical, because of the lack of historical support on which it
could be possible to prove such claims, but what is sure and what
historians tend to believe is that the Jews first entered Iraq in the
year 626 B.C. in the days of king "Galat Balacher III" when he launched
a great military campaign during which he invaded the Kingdom of Israel,
because they tried to cooperate with the Egyptians, the only rivals of
"Assyria". Relying on the general historical consequences
of this time we can conclude that the "kingdom of Israel" was a
subordinate of the Acadian Empire, which used to control most of the
orient the boundary of which reached up to "Rafah" south of Palestine.
This "kingdom" used often to declare disobedience and breaking its
treaties that it used to conclude with the Acadian Empire, resulting in
three consecutive military campaigns during which more than 400,000 were
captured. "King Tajelat III" took about 200,000, while "King Sanharib"
took 150,000 people, and in the last campaign of "King Asarhadon II"
about 28,000 were captured from the Kingdom of Yahouda alone. (It is
noted that there were two Hebrew states at the time - Israel and Yahouda, which
were unified at a later stage.)
After the fall of
the Assyrian state on the hands of the Acadians who seized all its land,
it seems that the kingdom of Israel was re-founded more than once, and
the same events were repeated in a questionable manner. The
Acadian king, Nabokhuznassar launched a great attack in 597
BC to crush the mutiny of the king of Israel, Yahudia Qim"
who died during the siege to be succeeded by his son Yahua
keen", and after his capture "Sudkia" was
appointed to succeed him. But as soon as he felt settled, and was
installed by the Egyptian king "Hofra" he too declared
mutiny against the Acadians, and when the Babylonians put
camp in "Rabla" near Homs, "Hofra" came to
his assistance, but was defeated by "Nabukhuznasser" who
destroyed "Sudkia's" kingdom, he took into captivity about
five hundred thousands of his subjects.
In fact these
historical occurrences, as they were related, raised many queries, which
are still without convincing answers by the historians. These queries
are related to technical and logistical matters on one side and
political and historic on the other. Capturing 200,000 people requires
various and big requisites such as: detention camps, around the clock
guarding, food etc. History never mentioned how the Assyrians
and after them the Babylonians handled the matter, and it never
mentioned whether there were diseases and hunger that could lead to the
death of a great number of people during such an operation. The more
important query is by what means and ways the Jews were able to rebuild
their kingdom after captivating such great number of people!!!
A thorough and
methodical reading of these historic statements raises a number of
conclusions through which one can explain some parts of the picture,
among which are the following:
1* The first
source for these concurrences and their details came from the Jews
themselves centuries later, which made it possible to be redrafted,
subject to modifications, additions, exaggerations that usually go along
with such a subject as if the finality had played a crucial role in this
scope.
2* These
operations were performed for political and not religious reasons, thus
it targeted the head of the rule, his entourage, the officers of his
army and possibly some of its brigades. Thus captivity, in our
opinion, used to target numbers that would not exceed few thousands
Jews. The method used in the beginning is what explains the continuity
of the existence of the Jewish states, and that made it possible to
revolt over and over. It is possible to talk about mass expulsions and
resettlement operations that took place at later times, and thus can
not be considered as acts of "captivity", because the captured lived a
normal not to speak about a prosperous life in their new homeland, they
were not considered as prisoners of war (some of them cultivated the
plots of land that were allotted to them. They built webs of irrigation
canals for their new property,and they developed fields and orchards,
which they worked to protect from floods. Others became traders. Some
historians say that had it not been for the exile prophets who warned
them of the dangers of assimilation, and urging them to think about the
importance of their return to Judea, the Jews would have been
assimilated completely among the Acadians, because of the prosperity,
security and stability that was provided to them).
3* By reading the
translations of what was documented on the tablets, and comparing it
with Jewish books and their recounted inheritance, it would be
possible to conclude that these operations had taken place only twice in
history: Once in the days of the Asyrians and the second
time by Nabukhuznasser, that is the second took place
after dthe first. But to relate the operations as recurring incidents as
per Jewish sources, it would be as if one is building a disastrous
tragedy, the purpose of which is to give the Jews the role of the
permanent and persecuted victim throughout history, which is to
be exploited later by the Zionist movement that was completed by the
Nazi "Holocaust".
The Jews
in Abasayd Iraq:
The year 1258 AD
was the ill-omened year that was deeply implanted in the memory of the
Iraqis, in the mid of Muharam 656 (Hijra year), Baghdad fell under the
hoofs of Holaco's invading horses. It was the night that put the Arabs
in a sleep from which they are still suffering its repercussions today.
Baghdad entered the age of degeneration, and it was overwhelmed with
tragic chaos and corruption that encountered whatever was left from the
traces of civilization, which was once the polestar of the whole world.
Under such circumstance it was inevitable that its detriment would
affect every body including of course the Jews of Baghdad.
In 1917 the
British army under general "Mod" occupied Baghdad, thus ending the last
Ottoman stronghold in Iraq, and putting Iraq under a new regime of
colonialism. At this time of history of Iraq the Jews had spread all
over the country, From An-Nasiryah , Basra, Amara, Kut, Diwanieh, and
Hilah in the south to all the districts of the north and the west - Anah,
Rawah, Hadithah, Samiraa and others, Iraqi towns and cities had their
Jewish quarters such as "Aked Al-Yahoud" (Aked of the Jews), "Khan Al-Yahoud"
etc. Jews numbered in Baghdad in 1830 about 7,000, and in the beginning
of the nineteenth century the number increased to about 25,000 families,
and in other districts such as Sulaimanieh there were 300 families and
in Moussel 1,000 families.
In 1924, as a
result of the Al-Mousel problem, an international census committee was
formed to count the number of inhabitants in Iraq, and the percentage of
distribution among religious groups. The result was as follows in regard
to Jews: there were 3575 Jews in Mousel, and in the rest of Iraq the
number was 87,448 Jews distributed between 15 districts, but there were
more then 50,000 in Baghdad alone, while the number in certain
other districts did not exceed, for example, 170 in Karbala and Najaf.
In 1947 the number of Jews rose to 117,877 all over Iraq out of whom
77,424 lived in Baghdad alone, this is other than 100,000 Kurdish Jews.
But their numbers started to dwindle quickly as a result of emigration
to occupied Palestine after the establishment of Israel, which was a
result of an extensive operation organized by the Zionist movement
during which many tragic incidents occurred. 110,000 Jews out of whom
there were 80,000 Kurdish Jews emigrated from Iraq to occupied Palestine
and other parts of the world. The operation was called the "Ezra and
Nehemiah Operation." In a census conducted in 1957 there were only few
thousand Jews left in Iraq that dwindled to 3,000 in 1967, the majority
of whom were in Baghdad. In the eighties the number dropped to 50 mostly
old men and women who could not leave due to age. (After the American
invasion of Iraq in 2003 the few remaining old people were transferred
to occupied Palestine by Zionist agents who entered Iraq along with the
invading armies.-- The translator.)
Zionism
and Iraqi Jews:
Manachem Dania,
member of the Iraqi House of Notables, said during a meeting held in
July 1948: "It is my duty to review the history of implanting
Zionism among Iraqi Jews to enlighten the high house, so as to take it
as an example when we direct our policy." This gives us an idea
of the Zionist activity in Iraq at the time. It was not possible for the
Zionist movement not to care for a country that enjoys such important
geographical location, political role as well as faith and Jewish
heritage, in addition to the status and influence Iraqi Jews enjoyed
especially with their big numbers. Iraqi Jewish influence had its effect
on neighboring countries and elsewhere in the world due to their wealth,
and the activeness of some of their well known families politically and
financially, among whom where: Kalia Hosasoun who was the minister of
finance in the first Iraqi cabinet, Khadoury, Danielle, Ezekiel, Zolote,
Kabai (which produced the most famous medical doctor in Iraq at the
time, Daoud Kabai) and other Jewish Iraqi families"
Zionist activities
were not limited to this field, they executed violent security
operations in which several factors that were done along with them
against Jews in various locations in Iraq, and the political
decisions taken by the government of the Iraqi prime minister Tawfik Al-Sweidi
in 1950 to denaturalize those Jews who desire to emigrate, which came as
a result of the meeting between Nouri Al-Said and Ben Gorion in Vienna
two years earlier. The result was the fleeing of big numbers of Iraqi
Jews to occupied Palestine and other countries of the world, the most
important of which was England where quite a number of Jews settled,
some of whom refused to go to occupied Palestine so as to retain their
Iraqi citizenship, of which they had been deprived. Among them were
outstanding Iraqis such as Samir Naqash and Mir Basri. Although this
decision was nullified after the turnover of the royal regime in 1958,
matters went on as planned by Zionist circles for Iraqi Jews.)
Zionist activities
in Iraq did not stop at this point, but continued in spying
incursions which echoed among the political and military circles. During
the mid sixties of the twentieth century, a few months before the 1967
war, the Israeli Mossad arranged to hijack an Iraqi "Mig 21" by the
Iraqi pilot, "Munir Radfa",at the time when this model of fighter plane
was among the most advanced in the area. Three years later a big Mossad
spy network led by an Iraqi Jew, Ezra Naji Zalkha, which included other
Iraqi Jews of all walks of life was caught spying for Israel. The spies
were executed in two lots, and their corpses were hanged in the Tahreer
Square in central Baghdad.
The most dangerous
Zionist plans against Iraq, and that had its effect on its present and
future life was concentrated during the last three decades the country
lived under the rule of saddam Hussein, which Zionists themselves
admited in a report prepared by one of the strategic research centers in
Israel said: "Because Iraq and the Iraqis were responsible for the
distruction of Israel since the time of the Assyrians and the
Babylonians, and because Iraq is one of the few countries in the world,
which enjoys the most vital sources of wealth in our days, oil and
water, vital for building an important military power and civilization
if two matters were available: A serious and rational government and the
required time of stability." The report proceeds with describing
Saddam Hussein's personality, and when the Zionist circles started to
pay attention to him, because they see in his personality
characteristics, which help in executing their plans as: "He is
cunning with a mechanical infernal mind, and he is a naive child who
could be easily deceived". This clarifies the nature of Zionist
intrigues weaved for Iraq, and the strategies that ensures keeping this
country destroyed and torn apart so as not to be able rebuild itself.
Some sources say
that Jews in Iraq took to farming during their early days in it, that is
before Christ, but they did not quit only farming but also the country
side and settled in big towns and cities. There they, in general,
practiced the services industries, and their presence was felt in such
profession as goldsmithery, exchange, brokerage and other similar
professions as well as in free professions like medicine, engineering,
the legal profession, teaching etc., which is characteristic of them
wherever they settled in the world. But why they distanced themselves
from farming and pasturing, their original occupation as Bedouins, which
is probably due their inability to compete with other tribes that came
in bigger numbers before Islam and continued up till recent ages. These
tribes struggled for possessing agricultural and pasture land. As a
result Iraqi Jews became a part of the urban society, and in this
characteristic they participated in political and social activities.
They became effective participants in forming many Iraqi political
parties especially the Iraqi Communist Party, Rashid A'ali Al-Kilany
movement and others. They also participated in workers unions, cultural,
intellectual and informational clubs, established medical centers such
as Mir Elias Hospital, Rima Khadouri Eye Hospital, Dar Eshafaa and
others as well as pharmacies.
To sum up Jews in
Mesopotamia lived a long history, and witnessed all occurrences that
Iraq passed through, they lived in Baghdad during its golden age of
prosperity and glory, they enjoyed its wealth and scooped out from its
abundant gifts, and they saw its tragedies, fires and wars and suffered
its people's misfortunes, but Zionism succeeded in the oblivion of a
group of people that was a part of the fabric of the Iraqi society.
