Cromwell's Jewish Messiah

Postby EzraLB » Sat Dec 05, 2015 8:31 am

Most of us here are familiar with how Oliver Cromwell was instrumental, with the financial support of jewish financiers in Amsterdam, of readmitting the jews to England after their 300 year banishment by Edward I.

However, what is not widely known is the role played by a Portuguese-Marrano rabbi living in Amsterdam named Menasseh ben Israel. In 1650, this jew, the owner of the first printing house in the Netherlands, self-published one of the earliest--if not the first--book in Europe on jewish Zionism entitled "Hope Of Israel," in which he argued that not only were the jews part of the lost tribes of Israel but also that in order to bring about the coming of the messiah, the jews must be readmitted back into England.

This book, "Hope Of Israel," was apparently very popular among many Cromwellian Puritans in England, and the arguments it put forth created sympathy for the banished jews. In the book, Menasseh argued that the South American indians were among the lost tribes of Israel--and thus proof of the dispersion as prophecied in the Bible. As such, the re-gathering of the jews in England would be fulfillment of that prophecy and bring about the coming of the messiah. Of course, many of the jew-worshipping Puritans fell for it.

The short book, which provides a fascinating insight into the treacherous and self-deceived jewish mind, was most likely a foundation for much of the misinformation in the later British-Israel movement. It can be read online here:

Cromwell so admired the kabbalist jew, Menasseh, that he granted him a life-long pension at the expense of English taxpayers.

Thanks for an interesting find, Ezra.

" ... Of course, many of the jew-worshipping Puritans fell for it ... "
Yes, indeed, and as their modern-day descendants in (now almost dead) churchianity still do despite the disastrous results seen throughout the British Isles from thenceforth. London is today perhaps the most important zionist/talmudic centre in the world, financially at least.

On p.34 of Steven M Goodson's "History of Central Banking" is reproduced a facsimile of the opening page of Menasseh b Israel's address to the English Parliament that had just assisted him so well, not least by regicide and civil war, not even to mention the soon-to-come murderous expedition to Ireland by the wart-faced bastard Cromwell ...
The obsequious hypocrisy is a masterpiece of its genre ...
Opening words --

"To the Parliament, the Supream (sic) Court of England,
And the Right Honourable, the Councell (sic) of State, Mennasseh Ben Israel, prayes God to give Health, and all Happinesse ... etc ..."
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
(Romans 8 v 31)

Yeah, Menasseh was a real scumbag. I read Antonia Fraser's biography of Cromwell, and from what she described of the early Independent Christians, there had been a fair bit of discussion floating about the English and the Dutch being the true children of Israel. It wasn't much of a stretch for Menasseh to shoehorn the jews into that, and thereby taint Identity doctrine for the next 300 years. Oddly enough, she writes of secret jewish synagogues held in the basements of Dutch-owned buildings even before they were officially allowed back into England.

Cromwell, alas, was a great battle commander and devout in his own way, but he lacked the ability to discern who the real enemy was, and after the civil war did too many questionable things for the sake of political expediency when he should have tried the harder route.

I am hoping to ultimately be able to do some sort of summary program on the Jewish influence on Protestants in the Reformation.

I discussed this Menasseh ben Israel character here in a program I did with Sven, and also in the subsequent program in that series: Invading Britain: Then and Now, It Always Comes Down to Treachery! Part 2

Thanks for the link, EzraLB, and also for the commentary. I saved the page into my notes on the topic.

It's not as if the machinations of jews like Menaaseh ben Israel went unchallenged. A prominent English attorney--and opponent of Cromwell--named William Prynne published a detailed case against the legality of readmitting the jews into England entitled "A Short Demurrer to the Jews Long Discontinued Remitter into England" in 1658. The Preface describes the purpose of the book:

"Comprising an exact chronological relation of their first admission into, their ill deportment, misdemeanors, condition, sufferings, oppressions, slaughters, plunders, by popular insurrections, and regal exactions in; and their total, final banishment by judgment and edict of Parliament, out of England, never to return again: collected out of the best historians. With a brief collection of such English laws, Scriptures, as seem strongly to plead, and conclude against their readmission into England, especially at this season, and against the general calling of the Jewish nation. With an answer to the chief allegations for their introduction."

The whole short book is fascinating--and can be read online here:

Of course, Edward I's Edict Of Expulsion was never legally rescinded, and the jews are still angry about this and have apparently put pressure on Queen Elizabeth II to reverse the Edict.

But as Prynne points out in his book, after the first jews in England lost the patronage and protections of William the Conqueror and Richard I, they no longer had the legal right to inhabit England anyway, and thus the jews had no legal standing to question the Edict Of Expulsion.

They're just whinging anyway. The way English law works, a new law overrides any previously conflicting one. The British Nationality Act 1981, the Immigration Act 1962, The Jews Relief Act 1858, would all override Edward's edict if it were ever tested in a court of law. But jews aren't happy with just ruining the present, they also want to destroy history too.
