I wonder who could be behind this post

The Zohar, the primary source of Jewish mystical thought,5 firmly estab-lishes the perspective distinguishing between the souls of Jews and non-Jews, describing the Jewish people at the outset of creation as “The chil-dren of the Holy One, blessed be He, whose souls are [therefore] holy.” This is in contrast to the souls of the nations, “which emanate from... impure sources and render impure anything that approaches them.”6The people of Israel, the Zohar states, possess a living, holy, and elevated soul(“nefesh ḥayah kadisha ila’ah”),as opposed to the other nations, who are described asakin to animals and crawling creatures, which lack this “Di-vine” soul and possess only an “animal” soul.7 Additional comments in the Zohar Ha-Ḥadash establish that those who fulfill the Torah—the Jew-ish people—will live forever with God, while those who do not—the non-Jewish nations—will decay with the animals.
