>The Jews were oritinally from what is now known as Iraq.

Actually, there were no Jews until much later.

A group of Hebrews (of which there were/are many variations) migrated from Iraq to Palestine. As the 12 Sons of (Jacob)/Israel they later migrated to Egypt. As the 12 Tribes of the 12 Sons they migrated back to Palestine where they couldn't get along with each other so split up into the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom.

The very large Northern Kingdom, under Ephriam, also known as the House of Israel, was made up of all the tribes except Judah, Levi and part of Benjamin. It was taken into captivity by the Assyrians to the fertile crescent area ~722BC, and later, as a group of over 5 Million Israelites escaped and migrated north through the Caucasus mountains, to appear in history as the Celts. These Celts became a huge population, eventally overrunning small local tribes and are the root stock of todays Europeans and Americans.

The smaller Southern Kingdom was made up of the Tribes of Judah & Levi plus part of Benjamin. It was also called the House of Judah, and it's residents called Jews.

European/American Whites and Jews look so much alike because they are cousins.

Ephriam and Judah will again be one in Yahweh's hand. I believe the US could be the pleasant place spoken of in the prophet Hosea. Also stated is that Ephriam would be wanderers among the nations. The story of Ephriam is not yet fully told;"Ephriam is a cake not turned." In Genesis Ephriam is told that his seed shall become a multitude of nations, which never happened in OT times. Ephriam being the warrior tribe would fit the situation of the US handily along with the Brits. This is a facinating subject.

ROFL.
There is absolutely no evidence of this. Language, genetics, culture, belif system are all different. Sorry. This was a theory of a English drug user int eh 19th century. No sane person should give it any credence.

There is far more evidence that the Pathans are the decendents, although most likely they assimilated into the Babylonian gene pool.
