'Jews' or Ashkenazi Jews? Because there is a big difference.
What I have said, is that the people we think of today as Jews are really Ashkenazi...
I do not care for your opinion on either site; I am asking for refutation of the evidence provided therein, if you can not provide that, fine, we will move on.
What about my link : Palestinian Myths?
What about my ex-quote of Aristotle from the Jewish Encyclopedia? Aristotle - JE

Asking me to prove biblebelievers and hiddenmysteries wrong is comical. They are wrong because the do not cite any peer reviewed sources.
Aristotle believed that the Jews came from India, where he said that they were known as the Kalani. en.wikipedia.org... Could the Jewish people have come from India? The hook noses in both cultures are a bit of a give away to me.
Also, the men from the East who came into Sumer and started building the Tower to God, must have spoken the same language as the people already there, because God thinks their ability to all communicate is a threat. The Jewish religion might be tied into the IVC, where they find no conclusive evidence of palaces, temples or the like. The priest King of India statue is the only thing that says they may have had a preistly caste too.
He wears the Sun symbol on his headband. Monotheism is tied into the worship of the Sun as the only God, like the Aten. If not, why would Aristotle say such an outright statement?
Hebrews And Vedic Brahmins Dr. Samar Abbas, Aligarh, India EDITORIAL, Jul 14 (VNN) A Review In 1979 the Oriental Institute at Baroda published a paper entitled "The Hebrews belong to a branch of Vedic Aryans." This was a follow-up to a previous article on the same topic published by the same author, Prof. Madan Mohan Shukla, in the Vishveshvaranand Indological Journal in 1976. The basic thesis of these papers is that the Hebrews represent an offshoot of Vedic Brahmins.
It may be instructive to review Shukla's papers as they serve to illustrate the common origin of the Jews and Brahmins. As Shukla's papers are very difficult to obtain both within and outside India, and are virtually out of reach for laypersons, I am reproducing extensive tracts from them for reference purposes. 1. VOCABULARY One of Shukla's strong points is the considerable vocabulary shared by Hebrew and Sanskrit. Indeed, M.M. Shukla has concentrated on providing a large list of of words which are common to Hebrew and Sanskrit. Thus, he provides the following examples: "The word, 'Svah' means 'heaven' or 'paradise' in Sanskrit. This word, written as 'svam' may assume the form, 'Sam-yim' which means, 'sky' and/or 'heaven' in Hebrew, while it may become 'Asvah' under the influence of the principle of vowelization. Sometimes, the sound 'a' may change to 'ya' and thus, the derivation, 'Asvah' or 'Asuah' may change to 'Yasuah' which is nearer to a Hebrew word, 'Yasuah' (salvation).... It may be mentioned that 'Appa' is a Marathi word. The derivation 'Appa' may further change to 'Abba', which is a Hebrew word... Now let us consider the root - word 'Svas'.
It may change first to 'Vas' and thence to Bas or 'Bes' which is a Hebrew word though with different meaning, ie. 'daughter'." (Shukla 1979, p.45) He also suggests that Surios gave rise to Kurios, or Kur (ibid., p.48) Shukla notes that 'Abru' and 'Uparohita' exist in Persian and Avadhi Hindi, distinct from Skt. bhru and purohita (Shukla 1979, p.44) Describing the process of vowelization, he notes, "the Punjabis would pronounce the words station, putra and Krsna as satation, puttar, and Kishan respectively." (Shukla 1976, p.41) Building upon this, he writes, "the word Joasava may be transformed into Joasaph, from which the derivation of the word Joseph is a simple matter. Thus we can see that the Biblical name Joseph can be derived from an ancient Indian name, jayasva." (Shukla 1976, p.42) Continuing in this line, he notes, "Adam. This word seems to have been derived from the Sanskrit word A-dityam, from the Vedic pronunciation of this word as A-ditiam." (Shukla 1976, p.45) In addition, "The meaning of the root-word as in Sanskrit is 'to eat', and 'to enjoy' or 'to be merry'. Hence if we pronounce the term upasana as 'upasana', then it would mean, 'Eating before God', and 'Being merry before God.'"
(Shukla 1976, p.46) Another striking similarity exists with regard to script: "Now, the Hebrew script, like those of Arabic and Kaithi, does not use the word signs to indicate the pronunciation of its consonants." (Shukla 1976, p.44). 2. PRIESTHOOD One of the strongest points for a common Brahmin-Jewish origin is the fact that in both communities have been endogamous priests from the earliest times of their recorded history: "Chosen People of God: It may also be observed in this respect that the Hebrews, as well as their Indian counterparts, Brahmins, consider themselves as the "Chosen People of God".
The Hebrews started their corporate career in history as a "Kingdom of Priests" (Exodus/19/6). Likewise, the Brahmins have also been a "Community of Priests" since the dawn of their history." (Shukla 1979, p.54) The colonialists were the first to notice the similarity between Brahmins and Jews, namely that Brahma not only corresponds with Abraham, but that his consort Sarasvati corresponds to Sarah. Shukla also notes the story in Genesis 29, 32-33, 20/12.

Are you disputing that Jesus wanted a free Jewish state not under the dictates of Rome? Zionism, not the name but the concept, of a free Jewish state existed in Jesus' time and catastrophically (for the Jews) manifested in Rome's eventual sacking and destruction of Jerusalem and the subsequent diaspora.

The reason I asked if you meant 'Jews' or Ashkenazi Jews, is because I wanted to make sure that there was a distinction made between the Jews of today and the Jews of Jesus time.
Just saying Jesus was a 'Jew' shows no distinction, between the people who lived in Roman Judea during Jesus time, and the fraudsters posing as their descendants today...

It is only 'dumb' if you put little to no thought in it as you have just done. Jesus was obviously anti-establishment, both to the Pharisees and to the Roman magistry.

Still waiting for you to link to a verifable source that said Jews of Jesus' time used the word 'Ashkenazi'.

You can not live by a life originally promoted by Aristotelian philosophy...

You do realize the people who he gave that quote to were considered by Jesus to be hypocrites and were trying to ensare him in a word trap? There had already been numerous tax riots in Judea and this would be one of the main components of the eventual revolt. Jesus deftly avoided outright offence at the poll tax by the use of this metaphor.
...no one can as he never wrote anything down in his own hand about how he felt about roman Occupation..
He never wrote anything down, period, that is still in existance and that is arguement by absentia.
Again though, there was no NEED for a Zionist movement in the time period stated..
Then why were there numeorus Jewish revolts at that time aimed at producing a soveriegn Jewish state not governed by Roman Authority?
..given there were Jewish people living and ruling in Jerusalem albeit under Roman occupation..there was no need to 'return' anywhere.
That is called rule by proxy and is basically a puppet state. Stop using your modern interpretation of what you feel Zionism means anjd view it in the historical context of an independant state, which Roman Judea certainly was not.
And for the record...the kind of self governance Jesus alluded to....had very little to do with externals and via words and statements attributed to him, was more about rising above the state and the petty.
Considering Jesus preached that the Apocalypse could happen in his lifetime, 'rising above the state' would have been a non factor as God would have established a new 'government' in Israel and it would not have been the Romans. He could afford to make statements like 'render unto Caesar' as he felt God's justice was nigh and therefore he did not have to physically oppose the Roman Authority but through the power of his gospel caution those that God would overthrow the unjust and supplant them with the 'meek'.

Its not enough you speak for a man who has spoken clearly enough in actions and words that the physical political state is irrelevant to living a holy life in God...its not enough you try and turn assumptions into facts by proxy..now you're doing Jesus' personal thinking for him too?
There is no legible argument here to respond to and I find it ironic that you'd say the man was supportive of the very same people who he knew were to murder him.
....and not one shred of evidence exists to support any theory that he was born to, or trying to uphold the political power interests of the tribe of Judah during his ministry...in fact quite, the opposite.

I know there is some serious reading comprehension issues going on here and I trully wish I could write this in block letter crayon for you.
Jesus was Jewish, no one gives a crap whether you feel it was mandatory or not. Jews in Jesus time, whether in Roman Judea, or not, were all treated the same and had the same poll tax (or 'Temple Tax' as it was know) regardless of where they resided. The Romans figured out who was a Jew or not two thousand years ago, get the with the program.

It would appear that history is not your strong suit. Not all residents of Judea were Jews. Not all Jews resided in Judea. All Jews payed a poll tax. Jesus was Jewish. Jesus resided in Judea. Jesus preached that God would set up a new state of Israel in his time. Therefore Jesus was a Jew who resided in Judea and did not care for the Roman Authority.
I know this may be a hard concept to grasp but I have faith that eventually you may get it.
Maybe.

It appears you are habitually unable to read even the most direct of sentences. Jesus claimed God was going to usher in his new Kingdom, in his lifetime, where the hell else would it be and who would be living in it? The problem is you are viewing this through the distorted lens of contemporary Christianity which has no relevance to what I am talking about.
Judaism shares some of the characteristics of a nation, an ethnicity, a religion, and a culture, making the definition of who is a Jew vary slightly depending on whether a religious or national approach to identity is used.
