What if everything you believe about Israel was built on a lie?
The Sacred Colony is a searing, satirical, and unrelenting exposé of how the West used guilt, scripture, and silence to build a modern-day apartheid state—then called it holy. Through razor-sharp commentary, historical analysis, and gallows humor, A.A. Castor dismantles the myth of Zionism, questions the sacred narratives surrounding Israel, and unmasks a colonial project dressed in divine robes.
From the ashes of the Holocaust to the bulldozers in Gaza, this book traces how Western empires—particularly the United Kingdom and the United States—outsourced their guilt by giving away land that was never theirs, displacing Palestinians in the name of prophecy, and militarizing religion to justify modern supremacy. It exposes the performance of Jewish nationalism as a settler-colonial campaign, complete with fake nativeness, sunburned "natives," and a resurrected Hebrew language that now serves propaganda, not prayer.
Whether you're researching Israeli apartheid, Palestinian oppression, Middle East history, or the theological farce of religious land claims, this book is a devastating blow to sacred lies. From Eliezer Ben-Yehuda's linguistic cosplay to Tel Aviv's techno pride parades funded by military subsidies, Castor connects dots between white supremacy, dual citizenship, spiritual colonialism, and the Western hypocrisy that underwrites it all.
Castor doesn't just critique Zionism—he incinerates the entire premise of building a "Jewish democracy" on stolen land while calling it divine destiny. This is not a book for the timid. It is for readers willing to confront the theological propaganda that fuels war, the media manipulation that sanitizes occupation, and the political theology that shields settler violence with scripture.
The author examines issues often ignored in mainstream discussions:
A.A. Castor's voice is brutal, hilarious, and righteous. He blends historical research, political theory, and religious critique with a style that swings between fire and satire. If Edward Said, Malcolm X, and George Carlin wrote a book together—it might sound like this.
