Properly, “Ancient Hebrew” should be called a written-only form of Ancient Canaanite.

Ancient Canaanite included the dialects of Phoenician (spoken on the northern coast), Moabite (spoken east of the Jordan River), and Edomite (spoken in the south including Judea). Ancient Canaanite languages shared near-complete mutual intelligibility, much like modern Spanish and Portuguese. Hebrew was a written-only dialect of Ancient Canaanite. The Old Testament (OT) has the early linear alphabet that was developed by the Canaanites and Phoenicians.

“Modern Hebrew” was invented like Esperanto, and is mainly Arabic, Aramaic, and Yiddish (Rhineland German). 

What is today called “Ancient Hebrew” was a written-only dialect of the broader Canaanite language family. It was indistinguishable from other regional Canaanite dialects like Phoenician, Moabite, or Edomite. “Ancient Hebrew” never suddenly appeared “out of nowhere” as a distinct, isolated, spoken language. In a nutshell, “Ancient Hebrew” never even existed as a separate spoken language. 

Scholars like Dr. Ian Young also proved that the OT actually underwent continuous editing, updating, and rewriting over many centuries. The Old Testament we read today is a stylized literary dialect of Ancient Canaanite that was heavily standardized by later scribes, rather than a perfect snapshot of how Judeans or Palestinians spoke in 1000 BC. In the following interview, Dr. Ian Young (associate professor of Classical Hebrew and Biblical Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia) explains how the Old Testament was “rewritten over and over”:

Also, the Old Testament’s Ancient Canaanite (which is mislabeled “Ancient Hebrew”) was not a spoken everyday vernacular.

It was a specialized, elite literary language used by scribes. Ancient Canaanite also consisted of dozens of shifting regional dialects, slang, and accents across the Northern Kingdom of Israel and the Southern Kingdom of Judah. The distinct northern (Israel) and southern (Judean) dialects are hinted at in Biblical stories like the “shibboleth incident” in Judges 12:4-6, where fleeing fugitives are asked to say the word “SHIBBOLETH”, and the Ephraimites get slaughtered because their dialect lacks the “sh” sound, so their (ill-fated) pronunciation is “SIBBOLETH”. The rigid, uniform “Ancient Hebrew” taught in textbooks today is a modern invention. 

Another major complication is that most ancient Judean scribes were expert forgers who were skilled at stylistic imitation. There were easily able to mimic an older form of Ancient Canaanite in order to artificially archaize the language on which today’s historians base their theories. A scribe writing in the late Persian period (400 BC to 330 BC) or in the Hellenistic period (323 BC to 30 BC) could intentionally write in an “old-fashioned” style to make his text sound authoritative. That completely muddled the chronological tracking attempted by later scholars. 

Modern Hebrew is Another Fake

Since “Ancient Hebrew” never existed as a spoken language, the Zionist House of Rothschild had a major conundrum to solve before it invented “Modern Hebrew” in the period between 1880 and 1920. It drew experience from its other major (albeit failed) project, called Esperanto, which was rolled out in 1887.

Jesus did not speak “Ancient Hebrew” because, firstly, it did not really exist and, secondly, Ancient Canaanite had mostly died out by 300 BC. Jesus spoke Aramaic and Koine Greek, which was the common supra-regional form of Greek spoken and written during the Hellenistic Period, the Roman Empire, and the early Byzantine Empire.

After the non-Christian Romans destroyed the Second Temple in 70 AD, many Judeans were wiped out. Of the remnant, most Judeans had converted to Christianity by 400 AD (as shown by Professor Shlomo Sand in his 2009 book “The Invention of the Jewish People”). The victim-count was reported by Tacitus as 600,000, and by Judean historian “Flavius Josephus” (real name Yosef Ben-Mattityahu) as 1 million. Today, the ZioNazis still blame the destruction of the Second Temple on “the Christian West”, although the Romans were not yet Christian in 70 AD.

By 600 AD, the only ones who could read Ancient Canaanite were the Masoretes. As part of a major rabbinical conspiracy, the Masoretes created the faulty Masoretic Text in 550-1008 AD. The OT of most Reformation Bibles (in particular the faulty KJV and Luther Bibles) is based on the Masoretic Text. After 70 AD, the only remaining learned Greek Judeans who spoke Ancient Canaanite lived in the Hellenic Empire. Working mainly in the Hellenic city of Alexandria, Egypt, they translated the Old Testament from Ancient Canaanite to Greek, thus creating the Septuagint, i.e. the most reliable Old Testament (contained in all Orthodox Bibles and many Catholic ones). 

The Chief Inventor of “Modern Hebrew”

Eliezer Perlman was a Japhetic Russian-Jewish linguist, lexicographer, and journalist. He was born to two extremist Japhetic-Russian CHABAD members, i.e. Yehuda Leib and Tzipora Perlman, and was hired by the Zionist House of Rothschild to invent “Modern Hebrew”. In order to more easily masquerade as an Arab (Semite), Perlman also changed his name to “Eliezer Ben-Yehuda” and immigrated to Palestine in 1881.

Perlman also drew experience from the Japhetic Russian-Jewish linguist Leyzer Zamengov, who first published his invented language Esperanto in 1887. Zamengov was also backed by the Zionist House of Rothschild and the Political Zionist (ZioNazi) movement. In the same period, the Rothschild-Zionists also commissioned the invention of another new language called “Modern Hebrew”, which was just as made-up as Esperanto. 

Since “Ancient Hebrew” never existed as a native, conversational language, it was also missing words for thousands of concepts, objects, and emotions. So, Perlman and his team of inventors had to forge a whole new vocabulary. They borrowed heavily from Arabic, Aramaic, and Yiddish (Rhineland German).

Worse, no one knows how Ancient Canaanite was even pronounced, so the inventors based the pronunciation of “Modern Hebrew” on Modern Arabic. Also, Ancient Canaanite used the Verb-Subject-Object (VSO) word order. But, “Modern Hebrew” was invented to use the Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) which was also copied from the Modern Arabic in its modern-day manifestations called Egyptian, Levantine, or Gulf Arabic. 

The Rothschilds also established the Committee of the “Hebrew” “Language” to officially invent and approve new lingo. Essentially, the vocabulary and word structure were mostly based on Arabic. “Modern Hebrew” is spoken by about 6 million people in the Antichrist State of Israel (Occupied Palestine) today. It is the only widely spoken language that was completely made up. And although it is the only “Successful Esperanto” in history, it was not based on “hope” but was really designed as the language of the “Super-Race” whose official task is to the genocide of Goyim “Livestock” of the Mid-East to create Greater Israel. In brief, Arabic-based “Modern Hebrew” is yet another Jewish Supremacist project by the “Super-Race”. 

Also, in order to better masquerade as “Arabs” (Semites), the Japhetic “Jews” needed an Arabic-sounding lingo. 

Shlomo Sand’s “the Invention of the Jewish People”

In his 2009 book “The Invention of the Jewish People”, historian Professor Shlomo Sand challenges the modern-conventional Zionist narrative of Jewish history, arguing that the modern Jewish “nation” or “people” was artificially constructed by nineteenth-century intellectuals (often bankrolled by the Zionist House of Rothschild).

Sand argues that the Roman Empire never exiled the Jewish population of Judea en masse after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD. He shows that the local populations mostly remained, later converting to Christianity and Islam, meaning there is no genetic continuity between modern “Jews” and the ancient inhabitants.

Sand asserts that Ancient Judeans were also successful missionaries to the Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Middle East, leading to a diverse genetic makeup among today’s worldwide Jewish populations.

Sand suggests that SOME Jews descended from the Turkic Khazar Empire in the Caucasus region, whose top elite (maybe 5 percent) converted to Judaism in around 740 AD. These converts later migrated westward, and morphed to become the Ashkenazi Jews of the German Rhineland. However, Khazar does not subscribe to the concept that “most Jews are Khazars”, as Arthur Koestler had posited in his 1976 book “The Thirteenth Tribe”.

Sand argues that many nineteenth-century European Jewish historians (like Heinrich Graetz) adopted romantic, bio-ethnic European-nationalist ideas to create the concept of a “Jewish people”. Before this, Judaism was viewed purely as a religion, not an ethno-national identity.

Shlomo Sand’s “the Invention of the Land of Israel”

In his 2012 book “The Invention of the Land of Israel”, historian Shlomo Sand argues that the concept of a “historic Jewish homeland” is a modern political construct. Political Zionism transformed abstract religious longing into a territorial imperative, utilizing pseudo-history to justify the genocide of Palestinians. “Judaism” never had a homeland. For centuries, the Ancient Judeans followed a proselytizing, diasporic religion called the Mosaic Law. Furthermore, a united kingdom encompassing both ancient Judea and ancient Israel never existed, so a unifying Canaanite (“Hebrew”) name for such a territory never emerged. In contrast, today’s “Judaism” is a “super-race” ideology that has almost no proselytism because there is no point in converting “subhuman” Goyim “Livestock”.

Sand argues that Judaism views the “Land of Israel” as a sacred, spiritual space to be yearned for, not as a physical nation-state or an obligation for “Jews” to live in. Sand also debunks the foundational Zionist narrative that Jews were “forcefully exiled en masse” from their “homeland” by the Roman Empire. That never happened. What really happened was that the Ancient Judeans converted mainly to Christianity, later 90 percent of them to Islam, and their direct descendants today are in fact the Palestinians (who are both actual Arabs and Semites).

The specific borders associated with the “Land of Israel” were not derived directly from Biblical antiquity. Instead, they were heavily mapped and defined by nineteenth-century “Judeo-Anglican” evangelicals and later adapted by secular Zionist (and ZioNazi) leaders to justify colonization and genocide. 

Like many other modern national identities, the concept of a “Jewish people” as an ancient, continuously rooted “race” is a total invention by a nationalist movement, most notably by the totally bogus, yet powerful, “British Israel” Psychopathy. The “Jewish people” (and ZioNazism) were mostly invented by the Judeo-British Empire. 

Sand adds the obvious, i.e. that ancient kingdoms did not function as modern nation-states. Sand also reiterates the obvious, i.e. that any path to lasting peace in the region must be built on the mutual recognition of both Palestinian and “Jewish” rights to self-determination.
