1/ Theodore Herzl is often cited as the Father of political Zionism, but the idea of a Jewish return to Palestine was already alive long before Herzl wrote Der Judenstaat (1896).
However, one of, if not the, principal "proto-Zionist" is rarely mentioned in historical or political commentaries, even though he has been far more influential in political history than he gets credit for.
The man in question is none other than Moses Hess.
For those unaware of this subversive historical figure, continue the thread for a rather intriguing revelation of who Hess is, and how his written thoughts expose a connection between #Zionism, #Freemasonry and #Communism. 🧵

@LaibelWeiner Don’t forget to tell your peers to also stop electing Jews who prioritise Israel.
You can’t love your country, the US, if it’s contingent upon that country’s love for Israel.
@NJBeisner The Pentateuch was written by Jews.
The Gospels were written by people who abandoned pre-Rabbinic Judaism.
If people cannot distinguish Jew as an ethnicity from Jew as a religious identity, they will never understand the true relationship between Judaism & Christianity.
@deafspraaktv@Fgandoul Ahh juste. We moeten eraan herinnerd worden dat WIJ, niet ZIJ, het probleem zijn.
Blijven slikken maar, de delinquentie van mensen die hier niets te zoeken hebben.
Alsof Belfast een uitzondering is. Het is geen uitzondering, maar een patroon, en de autochtonen zijn het zat.
@maklelan The Trinity was embedded in the Christian revelation long before the orthodox concept was developed. It even predates Christianity if you read the Zoroastrian Gathas.
The fact that it took time for believers to develop an understanding of a new idea, doesn’t mean it wasn’t there
@JoelMCurzon Jesus wasn’t meaningful to human history because he was a Jewish preacher or because of the myths.
He was meaningful because He conquered death and made us know God.
