But why deal with proof when conjecture is so much easier. My question precisely.
We see the House of Israel back in Israel at the time of Christ and identified as such.
Yes, we see scripture that identifies as they are "scattered abroad", and Jesus sending His disciples to them as "lost sheep of the house of Israel', when the Jews were right there with Him, and He knew the as Jews.
Clearly, they had returned with the Southern tribes after the Babylonian captivity.?
Clearly, by scripture references, even of the Master Himself, they were elsewhere. And, of course, as logic demands, if God wanted them to lose their identity, He certain wouldn't send them to the very place where they could retain it.
Quod Erat Demonstrantum.

No, Jesus stated that He was sent to the lost of house of Israel, when He was refusing to help the Syrian woman (Mat.15:24).
Both Peter and Stephen are speaking to the house of Israel (Acts, 2:36, 7:42)
So the house of Israel is back in the land and are known as Jews.

Clearly, your logic is flawed assuming what you need to prove.
Eventually all Jews lost their tribal identity didn't they?
Do any of the Jews today know if they are from Judah or Benjamin, no less the other 10 tribes?
Quod Erat Demonstrantum.
It has been demonstrated that you are 'question begging' and 'building straw men'.
No evidence of any migration by the 10 tribes, no evidence of any revolt by the 10 tribes, and no evidence that those tribes are anywhere else.
Quad Erat Demonstrantnum.
And what is worse, you do not know scripture!
