Jewish charlatan Shabbatai Zevi
Shabbatai Zevi was the Jewish charlatan who claimed to be the Messiah in 17th century Europe. He galvanized the Jews in a fashion not seen since the great revolt against Rome. The fever of insanity was everywhere. Hysterical mobs greeted Zevi wherever he went. As the Messiah, Zevi abolished all the Talmudic controls on Jewish behaviour. Dietary regulations were abolished; sexual restraint was declared obsolete. So great was Zevi’s appeal that none dared to oppose him. Rabbis all over the world who surely knew better acclaimed Zevi as the true Messiah and declared that the rule of the Jews over all the “peoples of the earth” was at hand. Zevi traveled to Constantinople to greet the Sultan and announce the Sultan’s conversion to Judaism. Instead Sabbatai Zevi, the great messiah, converted to Islam when threatened with the test of death by arrows. Jewish hysteria all over the world collapsed. The Chosen People looked like complete fools.
The Shabbatai Zevi episode is today little remembered. That is unfortunate because the mentality of the Jews is exactly what it was in Zevi’s time-unreasoning fanaticism based on the incurable fantasy that the world shall one day be enslaved to the Jews. The closest present day approximation to the Shabbatai episode is the Nazi “gas chamber’ hoax. The Jewish leaders have convinced the Jewish masses that six million of their number were supposedly exterminated by the German Nazis in “gas chambers”. The Jewish leaders know perfectly that this claim is false. But they know that so long as they can con the world with this claim, then the whole world shall bow down before the Messiah of the “gas chambers”. The world shall pay endless reparations to the “survivors”. Every Jew shall be a Sabbatai Zevi so long as he can allege that he or one of his relatives perished in the “gas chamber”.
Revisionist scholars who disprove the “gas chamber’ hoax are spoiling the messianic dream. Like the Turkish Sultan, they aim to put the Shabbatai Zevis of the “gas chamber” hoax to the hard test.
