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.
