JEWS FOR JUSTICE
Published: 2021-04-15
A group of volunteer enthusiasts announces the creation of the public organization "Jews for Justice" (JFJ).
Purpose: Striving to eradicate systemic social anti-Semitism that existed and still exists in many, if not all, world countries, and this systemic social anti-Semitism has led to a centuries-old history of extermination and social disadvantage of Jews.
Our site is under construction, and we will temporarily distribute our publications on this site.
Today is the Independence Day of Israel. We must remember our history.
After Alexander the Great died in 323 BC, his successor generals (Greek diadochi) shared power over the conquered territories. The Ptolemies received power over Egypt, and the Seleucids over Syria, which included the territory of Judea.
Antiochus 4 Epiphanes 215-164 BC, the Syrian king, pursued a harsh policy of Hellenization of the population, which led to an uprising in Judea and the Maccabean wars. The Jews won. (Hanukkah holiday). The Hasmonean dynasty ruled over Judea as high priests and ethnarchs. The fight against the Seleucids continued, and Simon, Mattathias Hasmoneus, made an alliance with Rome against enemies. This interference caused the loss of Jewish statehood for two thousand years. The Roman protege King Herod (37 BC - 4 AD), who received the Great's title, destroyed all the descendants of the Hasmoneans. After the death of Herod the Great, Emperor Augustus introduced direct control of Rome over Judea.
The Jews repeatedly rebelled against the Roman occupation, and Emperor Caesar Trajan Adrian Augustus (117-138) summoned the North's commander from Britain. The resistance was brutally suppressed. The destroyed Jerusalem was declared a pagan city with a new name Elia Capitolina, and Jews were prohibited from living in this territory. The very territory of Judea was given a new name, Palestine.
