I am only interested in historic truths.

You may claim you are interested in the truth, but you have expressed at least two provable untruths in this thread.

You said that, from a Jewish perspective, the lost tribes are gentiles. That is clearly false. The lost tribes, if they could be found, would be considered bnai yisrael, not gentile.
You said gentile means "not quite like us." That is also clearly false. Gentile means exactly what "goy" means in the Bible, a member of a tribe or nation other than Israel.

There is a difference between "thinking new thoughts" and making up things that are not true.

> You said that, from a Jewish perspective, the lost tribes are gentiles. That is clearly false.

That is my contention, as stated and clearly explained in post #29. And that explanation is supported in the brief 3-MINUTE HISTORY found at my LostTribe Profile. Your disagreeing does not make it false.

> You said gentile means "not quite like us." That is also clearly false.

Tell that to the Mormons who use the word GENTILE properly, as a word which is meaningless without context. Just because Jews have "co-opted" the word Gentile over time does not alter its usage-dependence. Jews do not have a corner on the word GENTILE any more than on the word HOLOCAUST, ongoing efforts notwithstanding..
