When the nation of Israel turned away from God then He allowed them to be conquered by other nations.

Israel had the choice, to obey God and be blessed or disobey God and be cursed:

Deuteronomy 11:26-28 "Today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse---

a blessing, if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; but a curse, if you disobey these commands and turn away to worship other gods that you have never worshiped before

Israel disobeyed God:

Judges 2:11 - 14 Then the people of Israel sinned against the LORD and began to serve the Baals.

They stopped worshiping the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the God who had brought them out of Egypt, and they began to worship other gods, the gods of the peoples around them. They bowed down to them and made the LORD angry. They stopped worshiping the LORD and served the Baals and the Astartes. And so the LORD became furious with Israel and let raiders attack and rob them. He let the enemies all around overpower them, and the Israelites could no longer protect themselves.

Why haven't the Israelites published a book of the Bible excluding the thirty books thought by some to be fictitious?

OpinionThe Bible is inspired by God and there is nothing fictitious about it.One possible reason is that many Israelites believe that the people spoken of in the Bible were not black people, but white people. Because of slavery, the Israelites were indoctrinated into the Christian religion. This religion was passed down from generation to generation until the Israelites no longer knew that the people in the scriptures were Africans. Christianity has created false images of God's people through paintings and sculptures and this has had a powerful affect on the Israelites. Even in today's world of knowledge and information, the majority of Israelites continue to allow themselves to be bamboozled by the Christian New Testament books. However, once the Israelites realise how the Christian religion has decieved them and reject Christianity in all its forms, it is highly likely that they will publish a book of scriptures that excludes all books that have been found to be ficititious.
