I certainly would not consider myself a proponent of British Israelism.

But I find it quite plausible that Denmark was populated by folks from the tribe of Dan. My step-father happens to be full blood Danish.

To contend that the Jews in Israel are not children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is utter nonsense, to me.

I don't believe I have ever heard anyone on this forum...or thread.... advocate that position. What I and others have been constantly saying is that the Jews (originally) were but one tribe of Israel. They were eventually joined by their brother tribe of Benjamin. This was told of in [I Kings 11:13] Later we are told that most of the tribe of Levi joined them [II Chronicles 11:12-15] and others of the remaining tribes also joined Judah [II Chronicles 11:16-18] because they had set their hearts on seeking The Lord.

The above event takes place during the reign of Rehoboam, son of Solomon....King of Judah (931-913 B.C.) The remaining folks of the northern tribes were still referred to as Israel and did not go into exile for another 200 years (721 B.C.) Some on this thread have said since folks of all the tribes migrated to Judah....to seek the Lord, we should just write off the multitude that stayed. These folks were spoken of in scripture numerous times.....apart from Judah! Should we ignore that also?

I agree with William. I have never understood the vitriol expressed by some when faced with these obvious references to the Ten tribes. I guess we should blame it on the United Nations. In 1948, if they would have insisted that Israel call itself Judah before joining the world community on the banks of the Hudson, perhaps more folks would have understood simple prophecy. But.....then when has the U.N. ever done anything right?
