New On Littoria:
The story of the attempted Greek genocide by Antiochus IV against the Jews is a clear precursor to the Holocaust story. The Jews remember this episode every year as "Hanukkah."
In this piece I make the argument that ancient Jewish sources on the Hellenic vs Jewish conflict should be tossed in the garbage. The vast majority of claims Jews make about Seleucid brutality are sharply contradicted by archaeological and written evidence.
This is nothing more than blood libel against Western civilization and the historical figure of Antiochus IV.
