Product description

After his authoring of "Imaginary Palestine" and the book "Jerusalem is Not Zion," which sparked ongoing debate among interested parties, readers, and scholars of archaeology and ancient history about the invalidity of the Orientalist reading of the Torah, and about the false connection between Palestine and the Jewish Holy Book — presenting a new perspective on what is called "Hebrew poetry" and demonstrating through a new translation of Hebrew texts from the prophets' laments in the Torah that they are an integral part of the lost pre-Islamic Arab poetry heritage written in an ancient Arabic dialect. And surprisingly, the leader that Al-Rubaie translates and approaches with religious poetry and its language "the incantations of the soothsayers" contains names of places, locations, and tribes with no connection whatsoever to Palestine, and as the poems say — in ancient Yemen! In this new contribution to correcting the history of Palestine, Al-Rubaie develops his theory about the land of the Torah in Yemen, and proves that Judaism was born there as an ancient Arab religion, and that the Torah never mentioned the name Palestine or the Palestinians, and that the Orientalist — European — reading is what created this illusion, and contributed to passing the deception. An intriguing book worthy of discussion.
