Interesting from a historical basis, is a book titled, JEWISH TRAVELLERS IN 
THE MIDDLE AGES, by Elkan Nathan Adler, Dover pub, ISBN 0-486-25397-X

This has interesting accounts of European merchants travelling in a time 
when they had their own history.
Dover reprints old out of copywrite books, and this book was first published 
in 1930.

AND then there is a book by the renouned Jewish historian, Arthur Koestler, 
entitled THE THIRTEENTH TRIBE.  I got a copy through Amazon. I believe there 
are two threads of blood lines in modern Jewish  society, indicating two 
different geographic origins. Mr. Koestler presents the history of the great 
majority of the Jewish people in the world today, those whose ancestors did 
not at any time live in the Middle East.

THE THIRTEENTH TRIBE, by Arthur Koestler, (The Khazar Empire and its 
Heritage) pub Picador books, Great Britian 1976.

Ten to 20 years ago, after I commented about this book on the Newsgroups, 
some enterprising fellow "discovered" that these people did indeed have 
ancestors from the Middle East. Mr. Koestler disagreed.

The back of the book has this text, "This is an absorbing account of the 
ancient Khazar Empire... and the close and unexpected bearing it has on our 
world today.

"In the Middle Ages, the Khazar's sway extended from the Black Sea to the 
Caspian, from the Caucasus to the Volga. But they found themselves in a 
precarious position between two major world powers: the Eastern Roman Empire 
and the triumphant followers of Mohammed. The Khazars were the Third Force 
of their day, and they chose a surprising method of resisting pressure from 
both Christianity and Islam: they converted to Judaism.

"In the second part of the book, Koestler speculates about the ultimate 
faith of the Khazars and their impact on the racial composition and social 
heritage of modern Jewry. He produces detailed research to support a theory 
which could make the term 'anti-Semitism' become void of meaning"

There are web sites who address these people, and I believe that the State 
of Israel has made one or more videos presenting their views.

If Mr. Koestler is correct, then there is a rational explanation for the 
types of dances, music, and clothes favored by the people living in the 
Jewish State.

Subject: Re: Theos-World JEWISH NIGHTMARE GONE?


Hi Leon/Logos Student et all.

If anything positive can come out of this subject, is that it raises moral 
questions, responsibilities and/or dilemmas that need to be confronted 
within our own personal psyche.  I believe it is our thoughts on the subject 
that link us karmically with the actions that are occuring as we speak.

As I see it, the Jewish people as a race may have been singled out to lead 
the intellectual evolution of mankind, and as such (the chosen)  kept their 
genetic gene banks , more or less "pure".   One cannot dispute the 
intellectual advantages of jewish individuals in the sciences and in the 
arts.  Their challenge imo, was to evolve morality in line with 
intellectuality.

Hitler's grand scheme, I believe, was to do the same thing.  To keep the 
german blood line pure.  This would only have been possible by exterminating 
those that were of superior intelligence and begin again with the german 
stock.     Those that sacrificed themselves, may have willingly agreed to 
this at a monadic level.  There moral fortitude is a lesson to all of us in 
offering themselves for the good. What better lesson in morality could the 
world have had?

Unfortunately at the exoteric level, Hitler's gone wrong scheme gave the 
impetus for the jewish nation to never again be lead like lambs to the 
slaughter. Hence, their understandable choice to defend themselves at all 
costs.

I believe that those in the west who label the jewish people as evil are 
simply envious, and use the crude excuses of the Jews fiscal policies, non 
assimilation,aggression etc as excuses to sack the boss, simply so they can 
take the bosses place, as was the case with AH.

I am not saying that the Jews are squeeky clean in all of this, as I see the 
latest events as an over-reaction, which reinforced the idea, in many minds, 
that 2 jewish soldiers are worth  200  hesballahs.  I believe they went in 
on a principle, rather than  being principled.  As intellectual mentors I 
believe their decision was  taken in haste and motivated by a protection 
policy, which of course is understandable, but it is choice driven by lower 
manas rather than the sacrifical jews who were driven by higher manas.

The Arabs have always felt like the simple country cousins of the Jews, but 
rather than aspire to be equal, through education and self esteem, chose the 
same solution that AH attempted.  Jews and Arabs can live peacefully 
together, the Arab Jews have shown this as have the Christian Jews.

Hesballah did exactly what AH did, they promised the Lebanese people a 
better standard of living, and I believed they delivered on this, as it was 
the Hesballah who provided social systems left inadequate by the Lebanese 
government.  This may have been to ensure their credibility or a ruse to 
gain the trust of the Lebanese people as a means for accumulating weapons 
for the long term goal of attacking Israel and exterminating the Jews.  The 
Hesballah have been pawns of Iran and Syria, probably unknowingly.

Are there evil terrorists in the World?  Yes, of course, there are.  HPB saw 
the terrorism within the Jesuits and did not hold back on letting the 
Christian world know of this.  How she was not assassinated for her actions 
we can only thank the Masters.

Do I believe terrorism has to be eliminated, Yes, of course I do.  Does this 
mean killing, yes it does.  One cannot reason with a terrorists who has been 
blindly instructed to believe there cause is to annihilate the Jews or 
anyone who opposes their views, as was the case of Hussein, and all in 
order, that they may take their place and rule with an iron rod.

I am not advocating Killing for Killing's sake, but Killing for Peace's 
sake, so that the world can get on with its spiritual evolution, and not be 
held back by barbaric thinking that has kept us at war with each other from 
time immorial.  There will be many more opportunities for these souls to 
realise that power, greed and envy only result in suffering and chaos.

Let those who want to rule, rule, but just leave me in peace.
