This is wrong on so many levels and pretty embarrassing. Hercules is a typical indo-european (aryan) hero. Thor and the symbol of thunder is common among indo-european (non-semites) and have nothing to do with jewish mythology.
Jewish mythology borrowed (stole?) a lot from Babylonian myths, this is probably a much more interesting topic than trying to claim nonsense about my people's ancestral stories, like this "Thor meets Zeus" stupid movie made for american digestive bowels, sorry, consumers.
Though there's a fairly clear path for Hercules origin being traced to Samson, the Thor from Hercules connection actually came from the 1880 pamphlet mentioned above. It would be a worthwhile read if you were curious about it though, as Colonel Gawker does make a case for it by tracing the lineage of the Scythians.
I didn't really get into that in the post because it's too deep a dive for the topic I was writing but you may find it interesting?
I just wrote about it because it's a rabbit hole that I fell into when researching the bronze snake and I found it interesting, not that I'm claiming to have expertise. Just surfacing interesting topics.
Interesting read! Thanks Barry I learned a lot.
