Thanks decimon.
Jerusalem was home to various Judean cults and at times a center for religious fanaticism.
That's so unlike the Assyrians/Akkadians, Babylonians, and others, who spent a few thousand years demolishing each other's cities and stripping rival temples to aggrandize their own cults. Oh wait...

Jew-hating media spin doctor grinding a frightening political axe in what is otherwise an interesting article.

Uhh...I'm not seeing that. Judea is/was a region and 'Judean cults' might refer to anything. And I wouldn't think the source to be anti-semitic.

I saw what you did when I read the article and I either wouldn't have posted this or would have with comment if I'd seen bigotry in it. Of course, I could be wrong.

My understanding of the Assyrians is they were closer the philosophy of Conan than the Harvard Business School:

Mongol General: What is best in life?

Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
