Asa Winstanley is an idiot (and an antisemitic piece of trash), part 4/conclusion

Continuing the series showing what an absolute tool Asa Winstanley is based solely on a truly fatuous article he wrote for Middle East Monitor.

Winstanley wrote:

Prior to the rise of Christianity as the established religion of the Roman Empire, Judaism was very much a proselytising faith. As such, it spread widely all over the Mediterranean basin, into Egypt and further afield. Indeed, as late as the eighth century CE, the ruling classes of the Khazar Empire (a confederation of Turkic-speaking tribes in what is today the south-eastern part of European Russia) apparently converted en masse to Judaism.

As such, it is illogical to suppose – as Zionists do – that the ancestral "homeland" of all Jewish people in the world is Palestine. Such a view is actually anti-Semitic.

There is some evidence for some proselytizing by Jews from the first century BCE to the first century CE. Some scholars don't even agree with that. In fact, many think that while Jews didn't discourage conversion for those who wanted it, there was no active outreach or proselytization.

Winstanley, however wants to make it sound like the vast majority of Jews are descended from converts and therefore have no ancestral ties to Israel. DNA evidence shows this to be completely false, as well as the absence of any rabbinical writings that discuss the huge legal implications of mass conversions.

The Khazar theory is complete garbage and has been disproven a hundred different ways.

To claim that most Jews are descended from Jews is antisemitic???

Asa Winstanley is a blooming idiot.

And, of course, he is an antisemite too. He goes on to try to tie Zionist Jews in Europe with the Nazis, which is pure antisemitism. The Zionists who were trying to save the Jews in Europe are painted as collaborators with the Nazis, which is as disgusting as it gets.

Asa Winstanley is an antisemitic, lying, hateful piece of trash. And this article proves it over and over again.

Continuing this series of showing what an idiot Asa Winstanley is, based on a single article he published - appropriately enough - on April Fool's Day.

As Israeli historian Shlomo Sand describes in his book The Invention of the Land of Israel, before the Zionist movement, Palestine was never viewed by Jewish communities around the world as their homeland.

Wow!

What does he think "Next Year in Jerusalem" means in the Haggadah and Yom Kippur service? Major parts of the prayer book talk about Jews returning to Zion! A large section of the Amida prayer, said three times a day, asks for the restoration of a Jewish homeland in Israel!

Not only that, but Jews didn't start returning to Israel with Zionism. There were groups, often led by rabbis, who immigrated to Israel constantly for centuries before modern Zionism. It is so obvious that Israel is the homeland of the Jews that it is astounding to even think that someone has the gall to dispute it!

But, Asa Winstanley is an idiot.

Continuing our dissection of the absolutely moronic article published Thursday in Middle East Monitor, written by the Asa Winstanley.

He writes:

With the rise of Zionism – a European settler-colonial movement founded at the end of the nineteenth century – a new term was invented to describe Palestine: the "Land of Israel". Before then, the word "Israel" had generally been used only as a synonym for the Jewish people, as in the Biblical phrase "Children of Israel".

The first time the term "Eretz Yisrael" - "Land of Israel" - was used to refer to the land was in 1 Samuel 13:19.

"וְחָרָשׁ֙ לֹ֣א יִמָּצֵ֔א בְּכֹ֖ל אֶ֣רֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל"

The term is used constantly in the Talmud and later Rabbinical writings.

Asa Winstanley is an idiot. (More likely, he is a liar.)
