You need to read what I wrote — my point is that Sitchin is NOT an anti-Semite, though he believed in certain ideas that were also held by anti-Semites.

anti-Semite = hatred of the Jews; dismissing them as a race, blaming them for all that goes wrong, etc.

The Sumerians were not Semites; their language is not Semitic; their nearby neighbors, the Akkadians, were Semitic.

Thanks. For me it is important to care about Israeli politics, Israel represents certain ideology. Its methods give interesting context…
Would it be possible to use other label instead of “Antisemitic”? I do not understantand what this word really means. Do you mean that Sitchin wanted to harm Jewish (semitic) historical text – fiction empeaching its originality? But then – why so strong label from you: Antisemitic? It would mean that Sitchin simply did not like anything Semitic (not only Jewish!). Do you think so?
Were Sumerians Semitic culture?

it means I don’t make Israeli politics (or politics about Israel) part of the consideration.

Thanks for the work you do, thanks you discuss results. But please what do you mean by this sentence: “I really could care less about Israeli politics.”

see the Sitchin site; I’m not going to reproduce that site in my comments field. I’m saying all the space travel stuff is contrived.

So are you saying that the sumerian text do not talk about these beings traveling through space in vehicles? Don’t the sumerian texts talk about the creation of humans by these beings as a slave race to mine gold? Don’t they mention Eden and adam etc.? And also, did they call them GODS (meaning in the way that we understand what God means, almighty supernatural omnipresent being etc)? For instance I read that the ancient egyptians called their gods “the ones who watch” or “the watchers”? We assume that they were worshipping GODS in our sense. Also if these beings were here a long time ago you’d expect the stories about them to change over time and to develop into different stories. It would explain the fact that almost every civilisation has a believe in a higher or more powerful being that rules their every day life. If religions developed to explain things people didn’t understand then not all civilisation would have come up with similar practices, for instance:making offerings to apeace the “gods”. Anyway I read a bit more on the link you provided….. For me ET’s are a theory. Not a faith or conviction. If tomorrow by some way we find out that ETs don’t exist, life still goes on as normal. Faith in God on the other hand cannot be treated that way, because that’s supposed to be the one and only truth. Are there any other people that have translated the sumerian tablets and have come to a complete different opinion than sitchin? Just out of interest, so I can see it from a different angle.

@ John your speech sound a little zealot on the side, may be your beliefs with human kindness went down with the Temple.. Hitler lost because the artificial reality he wished to construct was opposed to good faith.. his dynamics were exclusions instead of inclusions; he fell and burned
without having understood anything..
