I have seen and read these types of theories before.

I do not have the background or Education to dispute them.

I think that we can all agree that the Jewish People of Israel today are descendants of the Israelites or Jews of Antiquity. Those other Children of the 10 "lost" tribes have long ago assimilated into wherever. They should not be considered as heirs to Abrahams promise from God in the Bible.

These Jewish people have been trodden upon by Gentiles for Millennia. From Antiochus To Titus and on through the Middle Ages! The Jews as we recognize them have been kicked out of almost every country ever known, including their own.

From Spain To Russia, and most of Arabia. The Jews have always been oppressed. It is well known of course they did thrive in such wonderful places such as Poland and Germany. That sure worked out well.

They say that Esau gave up his heritage for a bowl of soup! The Promise had it`s continuity in the Sons of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We do not hear too much about the Sons of Esau, yet he was first born.

It is yet to be seen how many Jews there will be. The first Commandment in the Bible to man from God was to be fruitful and multiply! I think that we could see exactly that. Time will tell!

The Jewish people have contributed more to Civization than any other ethnic group on the face of the Earth! This all in the face of incredible adversity, and oppression!

The Jews thrive under oppression it seems to me. Should we continue to oppress Jews? I do not think so. The Jews are not going to be walking into any more ovens soon. They will stand and fight and they will pervail.

These people who are trying to destroy them wether by bombs or subterfuge such as Political maneuvering, even foolish history revisions (I really do not believe your theory) or any other means will not succeed in destroying those people.

I shall always support Israel.

Yes.

>Those other Children of the 10 "lost" tribes have long ago assimilated into wherever.

There is no evidence whatever to support this "traditional" view.  It is the politically correct view, strictly a "default" position offered long ago by those who had no answer but were not honest enough to simply say "I don't know".

That "answer" has been accepted down through the years (for it does solve a number of touchy political and biblical problems) and became part of church "custom and tradition", much like saying the earth was flat and the center of the universe.  But to say the Lost Tribes of Israel "assimilated" is as totally lacking in merit as saying "Jesus spent most of his life as a carpenter".  There is no Biblical support whatever for Jesus swinging a hammer after age 12.

>These Jewish people have been trodden upon by Gentiles for Millennia.

What does that have to do with who are Israelites, assuming it is literally true?  Do you really know who the Gentiles are?

>The Jews as we recognize them have been kicked out of almost every country ever known, including their own.

That has no bearing whatever on whether or not todays Jews are the worlds only Israelites.

>The Jewish people have contributed more to Civization than any other ethnic group on the face of the Earth!

Jews have generally found a welcome haven in the company of their ethnic cousins, the Celts who make up the majority of Europeans and Americans.  Jews are not a separate "ethnic" group, other than being a part of the white race.

>Should we continue to oppress Jews?

Hey, I'm not oppressing Jews!  Are you oppressing Jews?

>These people who are trying to destroy them ...  by ... foolish history revisions

I'm sorry you miss then entire point of my post.  I am neither trying to "destroy Jews", nor engaging in "foolish history revisions".  I am trying to support my Jewish cousins by helping both them and their Celtic cousins understand who there really are!

Do you think there is no reason why Jews find a safe haven in the nations of their cousins.  Do you think there is no reason why America and Europe today are the only nations on earth supporting Jews and the new Nation Israel?  Do you think there is no reason why Jews and Celts looks so much like cousins?

>I shall always support Israel.

Me too, but I shall do so on my own terms, which foremost includes getting the historic facts right and supporting for the right reasons.
