The Raëlian Embassy Saga: UFO Theology, Jewish Imagery, and the Unfulfilled Jerusalem Landing
To the point
Led by Claude Vorilhon (Raël), the Raëlians claimed the Elohim created humanity and pressed Israel to build a Jerusalem embassy as a landing site for their return, a plan rejected by Rabin, Barak, and Ariel Sharon, whose Star of David swastika emblem symbolized the clash of prophecy, UFO lore, and anti-Israel rhetoric, and whose later 2015 Yahweh message and ElohimLeaks conspiracies only intensified the controversy, though no embassy ever materialized.
