Semitic term
Rayhan explained that Schluters relied on what was mentioned in the Torah in the Book of Genesis, “Chapter Ten: 21” 31 and Chapter Eleven. Archaeological researcher: Anti-Semitism is a term that has no scientific basis.
Dr. Abdel-Rahim Rayhan, the Egyptian archaeological researcher, confirmed that the term Semitic has no scientific basis. It is a term coined by the Austrian-Jewish scholar of German origin, Schlütz, in 1781, applying the term Semites and Semites to the ancient peoples who formed civilizations at the dawn of history, defining a colonial geography based on A specific people from the Mediterranean in the west to the Euphrates in the east, His idea appealed to Zionist circles, which promoted the idea.
: 1 ` 26 “which attributes these ancient peoples to three groups: the Semites, named after Shem, son of Noah, the Hamites, after Ham, son of Noah, and the Japhethites, after Japheth, son of Noah. This is an ethnic division based on color, as the black color is characteristic of the Hamites who inhabit the continent. The colors white and yellow are characteristic of the Japhetics; they are the origin of the Indo-European peoples in the Far East and parts of the ancient Near East, represented by Persia, Asia Minor, and the European peoples. The intermediate color between these two colors is the color of the Semites, meaning the peoples who reside in the Arabian Peninsula, and in Mesopotamia "ancient Iraq", in addition to the inhabitants of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine.
He pointed out that although it included Palestine, the Canaanites, the owners of the land of Palestine, were excluded from this division, and were attributed to the Hamites as a form of revenge. Anti-Semitism became a term that refers to the hostility of the Japhetic and Hamitic peoples to the Semitic race, which the Torah reduced to the Jews only.
He emphasized, based on the book "Arabs Before Islam" by the historian Jawad, that there is no scientific evidence for what Schluters mentioned about this lineage, and that the term Semitic was based on emotional motives based on the Israelis' love or hatred for the peoples they knew.
Rayhan explained that the word “Semitic peoples” is ambiguous, and should be replaced with the word “Arabs.” This is also from an emotional, nationalistic, fascist, and imaginary perspective, and the more correct word, in my opinion, is “Central peoples.”
It is the true scientific meaning, which is confirmed by the facts of history and archaeology, because there is no people in the Near East region, ancient or modern, that calls itself a Semitic people that speaks a language called Semitic. What has been known historically from ancient times until today are the Middle Eastern peoples and their different languages, and it is the legitimate heir to all Eastern languages. The ancient ones, which Schlotzer called the Semitic languages, and even the owners of those ancient civilizations did not call themselves Semites nor did their language Semites.
Rayhan added, "As for the name Shem, it is found in the Torah and in the news and narratives of ancient Arab historians who made the Arabs his descendants, but what has been established and circulated since pre-Islamic times until today is that there is an ancient nation with different tongues according to the identity that God created them with."
He cited the studies of the scholar of languages and ancient writings, Dr. Muhammad Bahjat Al-Qubaisi, in his assertion that the word Shem did not appear in ancient inscriptions and writings, but rather the word “peoples who resided in the region” appeared in these writings and the studies of Dr. Abdul-Wahab Al-Mesiri, which confirm that the Zionists transfer religious ideas from their religious sphere to the political sphere. The heresy of anti-Semitism became widespread as an excuse used by the Zionists against anyone who stood in the way of their biblical project, and the Arabs became, according to Zionist theory, enemies of the Semites and the anti-Semites.
Rayhan stressed that Europe's current use of the terms "Semitism" and "anti-Semitism" is a result of the Israeli media, which promotes the idea that the Jews are Semites and the rest of humanity is otherwise. Contemporary historians and archaeologists reject the exploitation of the biblical principle in dividing the classes of nations and reject the dynastic system based on a colonial political position.
He pointed out that although the term “Semitic” is a fictitious term, anyone who opposes the Israeli occupation of Palestine, the establishment of settlements, the annihilation of an entire people, expulsion from their land, the killing of their children, the desecration of their sanctities, and the pursuit of demolishing Al-Aqsa Al-Sharif, the second of the two qiblas and the third of the two holy mosques, to liquidate the entire Palestinian issue, and to Judaize history, antiquities, and racial discrimination. Against the Palestinians he is accused of anti-Semitism.
Dr. Rayhan confirms that the term is a term coined by the Austrian-Jewish scholar of German origin, Schlütz, in 1781 AD, but the doctor made the same mistake when he replaced the term Semitic with “Arabs.” If the doctor considered “Semitic” a Zionist term, then the term “Arabs” is more Zionist, considering that The peoples of the region are many centuries older than the Arab existence, and Arabic itself is new and emerged from the womb of Syriac and Aramaic. We may agree with the doctor on the falsity of the term “Semitic”. It is not based on a scientific basis and is considered a fictitious invention of the Jews. We also do not agree with you on the fictitious nationalism invented by France and Britain for a political purpose. Schluters’ idea is no different from Dr. Rayhan’s proposal. Two sides of the same coin, one of which is fanatical for Zionism and the other for fascist Arabism.
