It wouldnt just be the ZIONISTS. You would have to
count the KHAZARS. And the BRITISH ISRAELITES. Who
knows the ZIONISTS might actually be Jews. But the KHAZARS
and the BRITISH ISRAELITES are true impostors.

Apocryphal Writings
So Andrew what about this - more than one son of God - but beware of
those who say they are jews and are not - are these Zionists?
Chapter
Book
"9": Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they
are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and
worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."

Satan in the Old Testament and In Early Jewish Apocryphal Writings
The name Satan is derived from a root meaning 'to oppose' or 'to be or
to act as an adversary.' In some cases, he is not necessarily
maleviolent and he may have even been sent by the Lord to prevent worse
harm (such as in Numbers).
Examples of passages using this early interpretation include:
"But God was incensed at his going; so an angel of the LORD placed
himself in his was as an adversary [Hebrew: satan]" -
Numbers 22:22
"He shall not march down with us to the battle, or else he may become an
adversary [Heb: satan] in battle." - 1 Samuel 29:4
"Appoint a wicked man over him; may an accuser [Heb: satan] stand at his
right side. - Psalm 109:6
Satan possesses no real demonic qualities in the OT writings. He is
mentioned as a distinct personality in 3 passages. These passages are
thought to be post-exilic and are dated between 519 and 300 BCE.
"He further showed me Joshua, the high priest, standing before the angel
of the LORD, and the Satan standing at his right to accuse him." -
Zechariah 3:1
Here, "Satan" becomes an official title of a distinct personality, but
it is not used as a proper name because it is still used with the
article "the."
"One day the divine beings presented themselves before the LORD, and the
satan came along with them. The LORD said to the Adversary, 'Where have
you been?' Satan answered the LORD, 'I have been roaming all over the
earth.' The LORD said to Satan, "Have you noticed my servant Job?" - Job
1:6-8
In this passage, the Satan is the servant of God, whose job is not only
to accuse man, but he also urges God to test Job.
He does nothing without the permission of God. He appears along with the
other 'ben Elohim' (sons of God) implying that he is one of the
angel-ministers of Yahweh.
Also, this passage shows that while he acts in accordance with God's
permission, he seems as if he would be pleased if he could prove that
Job wasn't as loyal to God as God claimed. Despite this, he remains an
angel.
"Satan arose against Israel and incited David to number Israel." - 1
Chronicles 21:1 (origin of GENOCIDE saba note?)
This passage is a later version of the passage in 2 Samuel 24:1 "The
anger of the LORD again flared up against Israel; and He incited David
against them, saying, 'Go and number Israel and Judah.'" While the
author attributes the census to Satan, he insists that David was
personally responsible for his actions and therefore guilty of breaking
God's law.
Satan's substitution for the Lord indicates that he was thought of as
the destructive power of God.
Rabbinic Literature gives two accounts for the origin of Satan. The
first is that Satan was created on the sixth day at the same time as
Eve. This ties in with the tradition that Satan played some part in the
fall of man. The second and more prevalent tradition is that Satan is
one of the fallen angels. Satan is identified with Sammael and his
deeds.
In T.B. Baba Bathra (16a), Satan is identified with the Yetzer ha Ra,
which is the 'evil impulse' in man. The Talmud distinguishes between the
personified Satan outside man, and the Yetzer ha Ra that exists within
man. It is this evil impulse within man that allows Satan the
opportunity to work his will against man.
Rabbinic writings also foreshadow the destruction of Satan. T.B. Succah
(52a) talks of the destruction of the evil angel, while the Yalkut Jesaj
(359) implies that Satan will be overthrown at a future time by the
Messiah, referring to Psalm 36:9.
The general belief is that there are a class of satans with a chief
Satan. For example, in 1 Enoch, there are 5 Satans. The first and second
are said to have been responsible for leading astray the angels and for
bringing them down to earth, where they sinned with the daughters of men
(69:4), while the third brought about the fall of Adam and Eve (69:6).
The satans are allowed to access heaven in order to accuse men, but they
are not confined to heaven.
