While scholars have identified values-inversion rituals in many ancient cultures, from ancient Sumer to Africa to Asia, there is only one group with significant cultural influence who have retained these practices, as part of an ideological creed, down to our time. #Purim #cabala https://twitter.com/DerorCurrency/status/950180293138202626

"On Purim all things are permissible."

About Judaism's bloodthirsty annual celebration ^ of hating Persians...

"the biblical Book of Esther is derived from non-Jewish traditions which did not deal with any plots against the security of the Jews of Persia..."

Julius Lewy, Hebrew Union College Annual, Vol. 14 1939

Why am I not surprised that a 'biblical' tale proven to be a fraud by Jewish scholars for over 120 years, is nonetheless still good enough for Wikipedia to use as the sole supporting 'proof' of an 'antisemitic' expulsion and genocide plot in 475 BC.

Interesting that Wikipedia does not, similarly, cite the Exodus tale. Could it be because that myth has long been sold, not as an "expulsion" by the 'evil' Egyptians, but as a "miracle", a "liberation" from terrible "oppression"?
