The Invention of Jewish People

Introduction

An Austrian born writer known as Shlomo Sand who is currently the professor at Tel Aviv University authored a very controversial book in the year of 2009. Shlomo states .A nation is said to entail people that are said to be united by a common mistake regarding its origin as well as roots and are characterized by collective hostility exhibited towards its neighbours. It is originally published in Hebrew language. The premise of the book is to prove the fact that Jew people do not really exist as a nation and do not possess a common origin in fact Jew people are said to be a mix of different castes but belonging to the same religion. These set of people accepted the Jewish religion in various time frames that are now collaboratively known as the Jews.

This boom is said to be a serious study authored based on Jewish nationalism as well as courageously elaborated (Sand, 2010).

The author also admits that he belongs to such crowd (Wittenberg, ...
