Actually, this issue of who are what is a "Semite" today seems to be far more complicated than the above treatment, given what the C's have said elsewhere in the transcripts:
So, from the above, it seems that we should really be asking who are the Aryans? Sephardic Jews are meant to descend from the Abrahamic line based on Abraham who the C's have told us was also Moses. So what did the C's say about Abraham/Moses's roots:
Long before Palestine was called by that name it was the land of Canaan. So who are the Canaanites, the ancestors of the modern Palestinians? Here is what Wikipedia says about the matter:
The name "Canaan" appears throughout the Bible as a geography associated with the "Promised Land". The demonym "Canaanites" serves as an ethnic catch-all term covering various indigenous populations — both settled and nomadic pastoral groups — throughout the regions of the southern Levant or Canaan. It is by far the most frequently used ethnic term in the Bible. Biblical scholar Mark Smith, citing archaeological findings, suggests "that the Israelite culture largely overlapped with and derived from Canaanite culture... In short, Israelite culture was largely Canaanite in nature.
This suggests, therefore, a strong link between the Canaanites and the people who eventually emerged as the Israelites and Jews. So where do the Hittites fit in? Here is what Wikipedia says about the connection:
The first cities in the southern Levant arose during this period. The major sites were 'En Esur and Meggido. These "proto-Canaanites" were in regular contact with the other peoples to their south such as Egypt, and to the north Asia Minor (Hurrians, Hattians, Hittites, Luwians) and Mesopotamia (Sumer, Akkad, Assyria), a trend that continued through the Iron Age.
Incidentally, Meggido is where the reference to "Armageddon" (the apocalyptic final battle) comes in to play. To complicate matters further, the Akkadian Empire referred to above was a Semitic dominated empire, whose first ruler was
Sargon the Great. The C's confirmed that Sargon was a
Scythian, who were originally Caucasians (Aryans) who had migrated from the Caucasus to China before being turned back and retracing their steps through Central Asia and eventually entering into the Middle East:
Thus, peoples like the Hittites, who dominated Anatolia (Turkey) and parts of modern day Iraq and Syria in the age of Moses and Akhenaten, were in fact Scythians and Semitic speakers. During Sargon's reign,
East Semitic was standardized and adapted for use with the cuneiform script previously used in the Sumerian language into what is now known as the "
Akkadian language". And as to the relationship between Judah and the Hittites in Biblical times:
As the discoveries in the second half of the 19th century revealed the scale of the Hittite kingdom, Archibald Sayce asserted that, rather than being compared to Judah, the Anatolian civilization "[was] worthy of comparison to the divided Kingdom of Egypt", and was "infinitely more powerful than that of Judah". Sayce and other scholars also noted that Judah and the Hittites were never enemies in the Hebrew texts; in the Book of Kings, they supplied the Israelites with cedar, chariots, and horses, and in the Book of Genesis were friends and allies to Abraham. Uriah the Hittite was a captain in King David's army and counted as one of his "mighty men" in 1 Chronicles 11.
Indeed, Laura refers above to the
Danaans who might well be the group who became the Israelite
Tribe of Dan and possibly were also the tall red haired giants known as the
Tuatha de Danann of Irish legend (Abraham by legend is reputed to have been a red head as was King David). As someone of Irish stock, I consider myself to be a
Gael (who are also known as Milesian Celts) who emigrated from Spain to Ireland during the Iron Age but originally came from much further east. One particular group of Gaels were called the
Scotti, who would migrate from Ireland to conquer Scotland during the Dark Age. The Scotti themselves considered that they were Scythians (ref. the Declaration of Arbroath dated 1320 AD).
If Abraham/Moses was a Scythian Hittite, as suggested by the C's, then as the perceived father of the Sephardic Jewish people, this means that Sephardic Jews have a common heritage with not only the Semitic peoples of the Middle East (including the Canaanites/Palestinians) today but also Western European Celts such as the Gaels, Scots and the Celts of Northern Spain etc. Given how many people of Irish and Scottish heritage live in North America, Australia and numerous other countries, this hugely widens the scope of who is a Semite. However, if Abraham (as a figure linked to Trojan Prince Paris) has a connection to ancient Troy, as located today in Cambridge, England according to Iman Wilkens, then the Semitic links may go much further than this.
Ant referred above to the population of England and Wales (an ancient Celtic land where Welsh is still spoken) being 81% white today. However, when I was born in the 1950's, it was 99.9% white. Thus, there are many ways to destroy or undermine Aryan/Semite populations besides genocide, mass migration being another. Recently, the British Home Secretary
Suella Braverman, who is herself the child of Indian migrants to Britain (see:
Suella Braverman - Wikipedia), in a controversial speech made in Washington only last month criticising
multiculturalism, stated that it allowed people to "
come to our society and live parallel lives in it" and that it "
makes no demands of the incomer to integrate." Unlike in Paris (see Perlou's post above)
, in London there was a large pro-Palestinian demonstration yesterday that passed off peacefully. However, there are growing tensions between pro-Palestinian supporters throughout the country and the Jewish community, which is seeing more attacks and vandalism against Jewish persons and property. Should the onslaught against Gaza, currently postponed, proceed with a huge loss of Palestinian lives, I can see these tensions boiling over, particularly if the British Government is seen to condone the Israeli action. Given that all British Governments since Tony Blair's (I just can't bring myself to add his new title of "Sir") have backed "large scale" migration to Britain, if the Gaza conflict does materialise in a humanitarian disaster, then like France and other Western European countries, I can see chickens coming home to roost where the folly of multiculturalism is concerned, just as Suella Braverman has pointed out to howls of rage from the political left.
In case this excerpt from the transcripts has not been mentioned already (I haven't read every page of this fast growing thread), I am quoting it below as it adds to certain quotations posted earlier:
