The story of the 13th century BC exodus from Egypt into the PROMISED LAND was shown to be a myth.
Moses could not have led the Hebrews out of Egypt into the Promised Land, because the Promised land was Egyptian territory at the time.
The archaeologists say there is no trace of either a slave revolt against the Egyptian empire or of a sudden conquest of Canaan by outsiders.
Nor is there any trace or memory of the Biblical kingdom of David and Solomon.
"Biblical promises about the land of Israel were never intended to be taken literally, or as applying to a defined geographical territory, the report argued...
"Biblical promises about the land of Israel are a way of speaking about how to live under God so that justice and peace reign, the weak and poor are protected, the stranger is included, and all have a share in the community and a contribution to make to it.
"The 'promised land' in the Bible is not a place, so much as a metaphor of how things ought to be among the people of God.
THE 2013 REPORT is from the Church of Scotland.

Most of the Jews in Israel are descended from people in countries such as Germany, Georgia, Ukraine, Yemen, and Morocco who were not originally Jewish.
The Palestinians are most likely the original Jews.
Schlomo Sand, professor of history at Tel Aviv university, wrote about the Zionist myth at Le Monde Diplomatique, in September 2008.

1. In 70 AD, the Jews were allegedly exiled and went to live in countries such as Yemen, Morocco, Spain, Germany, Poland and Russia.
2. At the end of the 19th century, people claiming to be Jews began to talk about setting up a Jewish state.
The 'Jews' who invaded Palestine were terrorist gangsters from places such as New York, Warsaw and Belarus.
3. Is the Bible historically accurate?
The first modern Jewish historians, such as Isaak Markus Jost (1793-1860) and Leopold Zunz (1794-1886), did not think so.
They saw the stories of the Old Testament as being useful parables.

6. Were the Jews exiled in 70 AD?
The Romans never exiled any nation from anywhere on the eastern seaboard of the Mediterranean.
The Jewish population of Judea continued to live on their lands after 70AD.
Some converted to Christianity in the 4th century, while the majority became Moslems during the 7th century.
Most Zionist thinkers were aware of this.
Yitzhak Ben Zvi, later president of Israel, and David Ben Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, accepted it.
Both stated on several occasions that the Palestinians were the descendants of the Jewish inhabitants of ancient Judea.
So, the Palestinians are the real Jews.

7. So, what about the people in Europe and elsewhere who claimed to be Jews?
From the 2nd century BC onwards, many people were forcibly converted to the Jewish religion.
Many Europeans, Africans and Asians were converted to Judaism.
For example, in the 1st century AD, in Kurdistan, there was the Jewish kingdom of Adiabene.
In the 5th century, in Yemen, a Jewish kingdom emerged.
Arab chronicles tell of North African berber tribes becoming Jewish, during the 7th century.
Israel tries to control the politicians.
Just a parable.

The revised version was debated at the Church of Scotland's annual General Assembly in Edinburgh.
Rev Sally Foster-Fulton said: "This is primarily a report highlighting the continued occupation by the state of Israel and the injustices faced by the Palestinian people as a consequence.
"It is not a report criticising the Jewish people. Opposing the unjust policies of the state of Israel cannot be equated to anti-Semitism. "
The revised report was overwhelmingly accepted by the Assembly.

In 2010, there was debate in the Church of Scotland about the possibility of boycotting Israeli goods.
The Rev Ian Galloway withdrew the proposed boycott call as a result of the threat to the Church’s work in the region from Israeli laws designed to make boycott calls illegal.

Shattering a 'national mythology' - Haaretz - Israel News
Ilani refers to Dahia al-Kahina, a leader of the Berbers in the Aures Mountains.
Al-Kahina was the daughter of a Berber tribe that had converted to Judaism.
According to the Tel Aviv University historian, Prof. Shlomo Sand, author of "Matai ve'ech humtza ha'am hayehudi?" ("When and How the Jewish People Was Invented?"), the queen's tribe and other local tribes are the main sources from which Spanish Jewry sprang.
