that Haman was quite right when he tried to prevent the Israelites from taking power
in his country. Haman, being a higher statesman, must care about the safety of the
country, not to mention that he was a patriot. The preparation of the Israelites for the
putsch must have been the cause of the counter-measures. Undoubtedly, he had his
own spies in the enemy camp and knew about the plan of power usurpation in the
country through the Judaic “fiancée” inculcated into the king’s closest circle, the
queen Esther. The Israelites knew about Haman’s counter-measures through their
spies; this is mentioned in the Book of Esther, and they had nothing to do but inflict a
pre-emptive blow. Exactly this pre-emptive blow is described in the Old Testament.
The description of events shows that the putsch was ready but Haman’s actions made
the Israelites act a little earlier than the appointed term and risk uncovering their main
“weapon” — the queen Esther.
However, from my point of view, the most interesting fact that follows from the
text of the Old Testament is that the Israelites were ordered to kill only the power of
the people, which they did: almost seventy six thousand of those killed were white
Persians, the descendants of the Slavs-Aryans who created the Persian Empire. Most
likely, the number of victims was considerably greater, because the Book of Esther
tells only about the slaughtered men, and there is not a single word about women and
children, although, the king’s letters written by Mordecai ordered the killing of both
women and children of the mighty men and the plundering of their property. If we as-
sume that every destroyed mighty man had a wife and one child, and his parents and
those of his wife, then the most unassuming calculations show that the real number of
slaughtered white Persians and their families was no less than five hundred thou-
sands persons!
And these are the most unassuming calculations!!! In reality, the number of
mighty men of the Persian Empire and the members of their family eliminated by the
Israelites during two days was dramatically greater, because then an average family
had five or six children! Just imagine how many Persian children were cut out by
“poor” Israelites only because the Persians could possibly do something similar in
regard to them!!! The Israelites slaughtered more than five hundred thousand persons
in Ancient Persia only for intention, for that which they only wanted to do!!! It is
unknown, whether there was a mighty man in the Persian Empire who wanted to cut
out Jewish children and women...
Mordecai’s letters mention the plunder of the destroyed Persian aristocracy’s
property, and the description of the revolution says of the Israelites that “… on the
prey they laid not their hand”. It would seem to be a discrepancy — the letter says
about the necessity of the plunder, and the actions show nothing of the kind. Could it
be that the Israelites assaulted the houses of the Persian aristocracy, killed all, includ-
ing women and children, and “forgot” about gold and silver? Did they really leave
empty houses for others to plunder? This fact is not mentioned in the text either! In
fact, the Persian aristocracy was incredibly rich. We will not hurry with conclusions
about the “nobleness” of the Israelites who pitilessly murdered both women and chil-
dren, including babies. They did it to people who gave them a roof and the possibility
to settle in their lands. Indeed, what nice gratitude…
