> i made this sure you did shlomo. did you know that ancient israel was one of the most primitive and backwards societies in the ancient world? hebrews produced no art or philosophy or sophisticated culture of any kind. now that might be expected if they lived in some isolated region on the edges of human habitation but judea was right in the center of global civilization and jews contributed nothing at all to that. its really bizarre when you think about it. like just a few miles to their north were the phoneticians and they were a cultural powerhouse. this is why people doubt if jews were even a real thing back then. theres very little to suggest they were anything significant at all much less some of the grandiose claims about the kingdom of isarel in the bible conquering vast swathes of land.
