I want to welcome everyone to the fifth book I've chosen to read.

And this one is called Jewish History, Jewish Religion by Israel Shahak.

The Weight of 3,000 Years is the subtitle.

I found out about this book by listening to the American Providus series by Ron Unz.

Israel Shahak is, he was Jewish. He was Jewish. by listening to the American Providus series by Ron Unz.

Israel Shahak is, he was Jewish.

He was hated roundly by Zionists. He was against the way they treated non-Jews.

And he'll get into it in the book.

You'll see the stories he tells he

actually starts off with one um just so you know that this isn't some book that's just like some

crank book um some of the quotes here are from uh the first ones from noam chomsky he says

shahak is an outstanding scholar with remarkable

insight and depth of knowledge. His work is informed and penetrating a contribution of great value.

Christopher Hitchens had said Shah Hoc subjects a whole history of orthodoxy to a hilarious and

scrupulous critique. The Jerusalem Times said the future of the Palestinian people would have looked much brighter

if there had been more Israelis like Shahak and outstanding personality.

The Catholic New Times said this is a remarkable book.

It deserves a wide readership, not only among Jews, but among Christians,

who seek a fuller understanding of historical

Judaism and of modern day Israel.

Gorvidal said, Shah Hak is the latest, if not the last of the great prophets.

So, yeah, I have tons of notes on this.
