Judaism is 1 of the 3 world Religions known as Abrahimic, because they share their origins with the religious Icon Abraham.
STORY SUMARY
Abraham was married to Sarah, and as they were both very old, a boy Ishmael was born from a union with the family servant Hagar.
Then apparently God interjected and provided by Divine Intervention between Ibrahim and Sarah another boy Isaac.
HISTORY
The Roman Empire extended to the occupation of this entire area depicted on the above map. This is the essential 'Birth Region' of all of the Abrahamic Religions.
As seen this area included and encompassed the country of Judea an essentially Jewish State governed by its ruler Herod. Who was made or 'Anointed King' by the governing Roman Senate, thus Judea is a Vassal State of the Roman Empire
Judaism
This is the principle Religion of the State of Judea as legitimised by the Roman authorities, the laws of the land including the Judicial are effectively based around this faith. King Herod's Administration essentially 'Police the State' looking out for alleged 'Trouble Makers' to avoid the overall Roman Administration getting involved, and implementing Roman 'Direct Rule'.
Personally I can't help feeling that the religion of Judaism missed a golden opportunity, by simply relying on the Romans to allow their religion to flourish.
Because if instead they had taken the initiative, and attempted to actually 'Convert' the Romans to their faith of Judaism. Then the whole history of not only this specific Region but that of the wider world, would have changed in such a fundamental manner that is frankly hard for us today to even imagine.
In short a Roman Emperor who converted from the Roman Religion to Judaism, would have wished to have completely replaced the old then existing Roman Faith and its myriad of Gods, with Judaism the Jewish Faith. Then the Religion that the Roman Empire imposed on its Colonies would also change. Also when the Roman Army marched around the World, the Religion they took with them and imposed on New Colony's along with Roman Rule would also be different. Thus the Jewish Faith, Religion and Bible would be spread around the World in the wake of Roman Occupation and Colonisation.
The Christian Faith in comparison may as a result have suffered a totally different history, Christians were only a small religious minority in the Roman Province of Judea. Persecuted for their religious beliefs by the Roman Governors.
King Herod was perfectly prepared to let that continue, as possibly they could have been considered as 'political trouble makers' to the Romans. And it would have been far easier for Herod to simply let the Romans deal with the Christians.
The Christians thus marginalised within a Jewish State could simply have dwindled in numbers, with people simply keeping their religion to themselves and seeking to move from the area altogether. They may then become dissipated throughout the wider Region of Judea, and indeed most likely further afield.
The upshot with repercussions unto today would thus be that the Jewish Faith would have attained, a far larger and much more influential place in the world.
Theodore Herzl was a founder of the World Zionist Organisation in 1897.
The alleged purpose and rationale of Herzl and his acolytes was to promote the creation of the Jewish Nation State. For them the only possible and 'Logical' location had to be the 'Historical Jewish Homeland'.
The region of the historic State of Judea (Roman Empire) that became known as Palestine from the end of World War II around 1948.
Zionism was actually created as an effectively right wing pseudo fascist political ideology. By those who were quite prepared to use the suffering, of their own people to their own political advantage.
ANTI SEMITISM
On the face of Anti Semitism is the opposition to the racial discrimination, against Jewish people on account of their religion. Indeed it is this but it has also come to be, an altogether different matter entirely.
I contend that zionists use the phrase and the very concept as a smoke screen, to cover their own political machinations.
