Talk:House of Israel (Ghana)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am quite surprised to read that there is plenty of evidence for the presence of Jews in Western Africa dating back to ancient times. The last historian to claim such nonsense was Maurice Delafosse in 1912. Modern Jewish historians like Nehemia Levtzion and Michel Abitbol deny such a presence - even for the Middle Ages. What is this nonsense about leading rulers of Ghana converting to Judaism? Where is this piece of "information" taken from? I do not know a single Akan ruler who confessed Judaism. And while talking about the Ghana Empire: If you feel you have to copy George Lichtblau's stuff word by word, then make at least sure what you are writing about. The Ghana Empire was located in modern Mauretania, not in present-day Ghana, and the kings of medieval Ghana were not Jews. Not a single source mentions this. If you do not believe a Christian historian, read the masterpiece by the late Nehemia Levtzion Ancient Ghana and Mali. London 1975), former professor of oriental history at the university of Tel Aviv. The Jewish tradition in the Empire of Ghana is only a phantasy cherished by KULANU-oriented amateur historians. (For medieval sources see N. Levtzion & J. Hopkins, edd., Corpus of Early Arab Sources relating to West African History. Cambridge 1981) By the way, what is this remark about Sewfi children no longer "forced to attend a Christian school"? Is there a difference between Christian and Jewish arithmetics? Yes, there is, said Adolf Hitler when being approached on behalf of Albert Einstein. He believed there was a distinctive Aryan science in opposition to Jewish science. Maybe he would have subscribed to such a distinction as implied by your statement. But would you, really??? The two Jewish youths (from Ukraine) in my 12th class at least do not feel they have been forced into an alien and hostile educational system. Peter Kremer 16:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ancient African Jewry?

The Fact is that Circumcision Which is a practice instituted by Abraham. The Grandfather of the Jews. 90 percent of African Tribes practice Circumcision. Female Circumcision as well. Yet White Jews dont Circumcise females even though Now Since Rehhooam Jews are Matrinineal. So is not Female circumcision for an Uncircumcised cant give birth to a jew. That would make 90 percent of BLack africans Jews and Zero Percent of White Jews Because they do not practice female circumcision. If im not mistaken jews have a secret conspiracy against female circumcision in Africa because of the Scholarly reprocussions. Mainly that 90 percent of blacks are Semetic. If not all. Circumcision is practiced not in Europe, Rome, Greece, or any other WhiteJudeao/Chrisitian people except jews. White Jews and Israel are not willing to accept the supremacy of Blacks in the Jewish framework.Ultimately its a case of white jews seeking to exterminate All Blacks because they have hijacked our heritage and dont wanna give it back —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.112.45.51 (talk) 15:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
