Federico Berti's article strongly discusses and refutes the theories of Mauro Biglino, who claims that the current tragedy in Gaza is a genocide foretold in the Bible, interpreting the sacred text as a record of military conquest by physical beings, the Elohim. Berti harshly criticizes this reading, describing it as a "conspiracy delirium" and pseudo-scientific exploitation of the Middle Eastern crisis, emphasizing that Biglino reduces biblical literature to an exclusively material and military interpretation. The author highlights how Biglino's theses, which even identify the Jews as alien conquerors, have been unanimously criticized by scholars, theologians, and linguists for lack of evidence and logical contradictions. The text warns of the danger of this propaganda as it fuels subtle antisemitism and distracts attention from the political causes of the conflict, such as radical Israeli nationalism.
