David Ben-Gurion once declared that, “there can be no worthwhile political or military education about Israel without profound knowledge of the Bible.” If that statement is true for the Israeli leadership—and Benjamin Netanyahu would certainly not contradict it—, then it is also true for any serious analyst: there can be no real understanding of Israel, its history and its geopolitical agenda without profound knowledge of the Bible.The Hebrew Tanakh is not just the inspiration for Zionism. It is the single root connecting all expressions of Jewishness. Its core ideology is encapsulated in Yahweh, the national god of the Israelites, who by the Mosaic Covenant promised his people domination over the nations on the condition of separateness. It was not before the Babylonian Exile that Yahweh was promoted as the Supreme God of humankind—who happens to have chosen one nation. Christianity and Islam’s submission to that preposterous claim has become the source of enormous symbolic power—despite the equally nonsensical counterclaim that the Jews have lost the election. Yahweh’s impersonation of God is perhaps the most devastating deception ever played on the human race. The sociopathic personality of the Old Testament divinity has ultimately ruined God’s reputation and led to Western godlessness.In these ten essays originally published on the Unz Review, Laurent Guyénot reflects on the Jewish God, the Jewish People, and the Jewish State.Laurent Guyénot is a graduate engineer from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Techniques Avancées (Paris), with a Master in Biblical Studies and a Ph.D. in Medieval history. He has already published in English JFK-9/11: 50 years of Deep State (2014), and From Yahweh to Zion: Jealous God, Chosen People, Promised Land … Clash of Civilizations (2018).
