Columbia University Professor Joseph Massad said the idea Jews are descended from the ancient Hebrews is “bogus” and an “invention,” MEMRI reported.
“It is almost like a Hitlerian project to speak of Jews genetically in this fashion,” he said, adding, “It only becomes fashionable, of course, in the 19th century with the rise of racial science and the biological sciences.”
Furthermore, “The invention of ancient Israel” is “a game of archaeology,” which itself is “part of colonialism.”
“It is strange that the only people in that region – Palestinians – are unable to claim the ancient Hebrews as their ancestors, because some strange European group is claiming them as their ancestors,” he said.
