Post-Zionist' Shlomo Sand has outraged many Jews by disputing the ethnic basis of Jewish identity. Rafael Behr*meets him in Paris

Sand's hands are depicting how most Jews are descended from converts who never set foot in the Holy Land. That has come as a bit of a surprise to many Jews and as a colossal affront to Zionism, Israel's national ideology. The modern Israeli state was founded on belief in a "Jewish people" as a unified nation, established in biblical times, scattered by Rome, stranded in exile for 2,000 years, then returned to the Promised Land.
But according to Sand there was no exile, and as he seeks to prove by dense forensic archaeological and historical analysis, it is meaningless to talk today about a "people of Israel". At least not if by that you mean the Jews.
Another lie from hell as the resident Jew hater seeks reasons to promote her Israel and Jew hatred. No exile? So you're saying the bible is lying when it says the Jews will be scattered throughout the earth but gathered back to Israel in the last days to possess the land forever? You're saying the Bible is lying in the NEW TESTAMENT that ALL ISRAEL will be saved? You're saying that todays Jews cannot trace their lineage back to their Hebrew ancestors? You are not even a good liar.
