The Samaritans Are Like, You're Doing This All Wrong!

Samaritans were unaffected by the original assyrianye yea. They're samaritans in like, the west bank area who do this slightly different thing that's basically judaism with a few differences. For a little while, apparently, things are going along pretty well. But it all gets upset again when greeks and macedonians invade and conquer persia. And so there starts to be this increasing tug of war between hellenizers and judaizers. This is where the holiday of hanika comes from. It eventually comes from the civil war that breaks out within the jewish community.
