I read 1-4 Maccabees for the first time and I got to say I noticed somethings I don't think other have discussed here before. Now I have heard claims that there are hidden instructions to infiltrate and destroy foreigners. I did not see it. But what I have found first and foremost is that Jews can't FUCKING STOP digging deeper into a hole! 2 Maccabees 8:20 seems to suggest that Jews assisted Alexander the Great with his invasions! >and the time of the battle against the Galatians that took place in Babylonia, when eight thousand Jews fought along with four thousand Macedonians; yet when the Macedonians were hard pressed, the eight thousand, by the help that came to them from heaven, destroyed one hundred twenty thousand Galatians[e] and took a great amount of plunder.Macedonians! They assisted Macedonians in Babylon! Who ruled over Babylon at the time? The Persians who helped them build their 2nd temple! Well how the fuck did that work out huh?! 200 years of occupation and their temple plundered by a temple happy raiding King Antiochus IV. So they ally with Romans for their rebellion. Little do the authors of 1 and 2 Maccabees know that they are getting played in a divide and conquer scheme. Seriously 1 Maccabees is Jews and Greeks stabbing each other in the back. Jews stabbing Jews in the back. Greeks stabbing Greeks in the back. Jews and Arabs stabbing each other in the back. And Jews fellatioing Romans for an alliance against the Seleucids. Well how did that go for the Jews? (1/2)
3 Maccabees is the overtly the original Holocaust story. Set in Ptolemaic Egypt in 200 BC but with an historically inaccurate spectacle in the Hippodrome that dates 3 Macc. to the Roman period. Call it the Hippodromecaust if you will. Egyptian Jews are rounded up to at first be taxed then sent to forced labor before finally being sent to the Hippodrome to be exterminated. But instead of gas chambers they are to be crushed to death by drunk elephants. I am not making this up! And here is where it gets interesting if you read historical contextual study guide notes. In Harper Collins this is what it says about 3 Maccabees 4:14>The entire race was to be registered individually, presumably so that no one would escape, but the process seems to be laborious. Again this may point to an original story concerned with registration rather than annihilation. Harper Collins is a Hippodromecaust denyer!Ok one more post.

The moral of 3 Maccabees is to fake a tragedy and survivor stories to gain sympathy. Use that sympathy to get special privileges from leaders. It works on Greeks but not on Egyptians. They literally get the king to change his mind after 3 failed attempts at getting elephants to stomp on Jews. At the end they are granted their Torah law courts completely unsupervised by the king to police Jews all the way up to imposing executions. They immediately use it to execute 350 apostate Jews who helped the government round people up.
>>524155803Jew detected. I converted a few years ago to Orthodoxly. I just didn't get around to reading the Deuterocanon books until a few days ago. I chose Maccabees because it was Hanukah. So why not? Holy shit I was not expecting to come across something so obviously fake atrocity porn propaganda! Yeah 1 and 2 Maccabees is well written. A little embellished in some places but not too bad. But 3 and 4 are crap. No wonder the Catholics never bothered with it. Zionists had to put most of the Orthodox world under communism to pull that hat trick off!
Anyone else who read Maccabees notice anything I missed?
