Historically, of course, it was Yehuda who hijacked Israel (of the 10 tribes) and the elite of Yehuda created the Judaism that modern Zionism went on to hijack. The spirituality of Jesus was that of the First Temple with KEY new additions, namely a religion that transcended both the Mosaic Law and the primitive Abrahamic faith. It’s ironic that the Christian/Jewish supremacist lobby care nothing for the real Israel of the First Temple and its Goddess!
