Finally, the new ideas that the said group is floating around kill many birds with one stone. It steals the Phoenician Canaanite heritage and claims it for Israel. At the same time, it robs Judaism of its divine origin by making it nothing more than a pagan invention. Further, it lays waste the claim of the Jewish people to their Promised Land and claims Christianity false since it has its roots in Judaism.

A group of nominal Jews and agnostic Israeli archaeologists (inspired by Israel Finkelstein, chairman of the Archaeology Department at Tel Aviv University, who, with archaeology historian and journalist Neil Asher Silberman, published a book called "The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Text.") introduced to the forum an idea which, in short, claims that the Hebrews were never enslaves in Egypt and there was no Exodus to the "Promised Land". Further, they claimed that the Hebrews were actually Canaanite and that Judaism was a product of ideas borrowed from Canaanite faith systems along with an imported but adapted concept of one god. That is the heretic Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaton's concept of monotheism that dismissed all Egyptian deities in favor of a single god, the sun god Ra.
