He is a Jew that argues that the Lost Tribes of Israel are the European peoples. This would make sense because Eastern Europeans have the same genetic type as the Levitical Jews (R1A).

Were Scythians Israelites?
http://www.british-israel.us/21.html
"When Jacob built shelters for his cattle in Jordan, he called the place "SUCCOTH" (Heb. "Cottages" or "Huts") (Gen. 33:17). When Israel dwelt in Egypt, she named a town "SUCCOTH" (Ex. 12:37). In Palestine, the city of "SUCCOTH" was given to the tribe of Gad (Josh. 13:27). Later, Israel was deported to Media (2 Ki. 18:11) which is the same place that Diodorus Siculus says the "SCYTHIANS" had their origin "on the Araxes" River (2:3). Herodotus then says the SCYTHIANS moved "across the Araxes into Cimmeria" (the Crimea) (4:11). In 2 Esdras 13:40-46 we read that Israelites traveled this same route. Herodotus defines SCYTHIA as "On the south the coast of the Black Sea, from the mouth of the Danube to the Palus Meotus; on the east, to the Don or Tanais, to its rise out of the Lake Ivan; on the north, a line drawn from this lake to that out of which the Tyras or Dniester flows; and on the west, a line from thence to the Danube." (Herodotus Book 4). Later, Germany was known as "SCYTHIA" (Nennius' History of the Britons 31,37 & 50). Then Scandinavia was anciently called "SCATHAnavia." Ireland was known as "SCOTIA Major" and Scotland was called "SCOTIA Minor" (Venerable Bede & Nennius). Strabo says, "All the nations toward the northern parts, the ancient Greek writers call SCYTHIANS" (11:507)."

Where did the 12 apostles go?

Jesus commanded his apostles to preach only unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. His apostles went to Spain, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Macedonia, Romania etc.

Yes of course

Everybody thinks they're the lost tribes of Israel.

I mean everyone thinks that their own group are the lost tribes. The Japanese think they're the lost tribes, Europeans think they're the lost tribes, some groups in India think they're the lost tribes, others say the Taliban are the lost tribes. It's something unknowable in my opinion at this time.
-
One thing is clear... The Edomites who are the nations of Europe did not treat their Jewish populations properly. Throughout the last 2000 years these European Edomites were massacring Jews left and right, remember the Inquisitions, the Pogroms, and the Holocaust...
If they were lost tribes, they are truly lost and will never be saved....
-
Wasn't the Northern Tribes supposed to be in conflict with Judah? But then they stop idol worship, follow the Torah, observe the Jewish holidays, and join the Jews in the end?
Or am I way off here?
-
Its some lost memory, but I heard the lost tribe was the danites and the became the greeks after the demons came down from Hermon. I can't remember, but it was justified with (dan-pan-panthenon) and (hermon-hermes) and some other nonsense that sounds silly when I say it out loud. I'm at unknowable anyways, I'd have remembered that if I though it was true. Still seems to make sense until you hit "buyer's-remorse".
According to Jewish tradition there are 10 Lost Tribes.... Only 2 are known today...

The Ten Tribes
In the year 3154, one hundred and ninety years after the two kingdoms had split, Menahem ben Gadi seized the throne by assassinating Shallum—who had ruled for a mere month—and became the sixteenth king of Israel. It was during his reign that the Assyrians invaded the land of Israel.12 King Menahem, a brutal monarch who at the slightest hint of rebellion would destroy entire cities, had to contend both with his rapidly decreasing popularity and with the Assyrian invasion. As such, rather than resist the invaders, he preferred to levy a heavy tax on his subjects in order to pay tribute to the Assyrians in exchange for a promise to support his rule.13
The weight of Assyria’s dominion over the land of Israel began to bear down more heavily. King Pekah seized the throne after assassinating King Pekahiah, Menahem’s son. Seeing that there was no escape from complete subjugation by Assyria, he joined the revolt which King Rezin of Syria had organized against Assyria, in the hope of enlisting Egypt in an effort to stem the tide of the Assyrian conquest.
After King Jotham (and later his son King Ahaz) of Judea refused to join the revolt against the Assyrians, Pekah and Rezin invaded Judea, killing scores of its inhabitants. King Achaz then appealed to King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria to come to his rescue. King Tiglath-Pileser jumped at the opportunity and marched into Syria, defeated King Rezin and annexed his land, making it one of Assyria’s provinces. He then turned against Israel and annexed part of the land, taking the tribes of Naphtali14 and Zebulun15 captive. Thus it was, in the year 3187, that the first of the ten tribes of the northern kingdom were exiled.16
That very same year, the Assyrian king organized a revolt against King Pekah under the leadership of Hoshea son of Elah, who assassinated the king and was then appointed as a vassal of Assyria.
It was in the year 3195, the eighth year of Hoshea’s service as a vassal to Assyria, that the Assyrians captured the Reubenites, the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh,17 and exiled them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and the Gozan River.18 taking with them the idol that King Jeroboam had set up in Bethel to replace the Holy Temple.19
Seeing this, Hoshea rebelled against the Assyrians and sent messengers to the king of Egypt for support. He then appointed himself as an independent king over the remnants of the northern kingdom.20 Additionally, he removed the blockade which had stood for hundreds of years on the road to Jerusalem, finally giving the Israelites the choice of either serving G‑d in the Holy Temple or continuing to practice idolatry.21 This is the meaning of what the verse describes with regards to Hoshea: “And he did what was evil in the eyes of the L‑rd, though not like the kings of Israel who had preceded him.”22 Nevertheless, although the sentries were removed, the Jews continued in their idolatrous ways and did not go up to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.23 When Shalmaneser, who had succeeded Tiglath-Pileser as king of Assyria, heard of Hoshea’s rebellion, he ravaged what was left of the land of Israel and laid siege to the capital city of Samaria. After three years, the city finally fell, and they razed the city to the ground, not even leaving any of its foundations standing.24 They then took all of its inhabitants, including the remaining inhabitants of the northern kingdom and their king, as captives.25
Thus it was in the year 3205, at the end of the reign of King Hoshea, the nineteenth king of the northern tribes—coinciding with the sixth year of the reign of King Hezekiah of Judea—that the northern kingdom fell and the rest of the ten tribes were exiled.

They also murdered many of their own populations, way more than they did Jews. The wars between different European nations plus the many Christians who were tortured and murdered outnumber the Jews that were killed, not to diminish the significance of anyone's death. The vast majority of the world has always been a brutal, nasty place.
-
How can the aryan nation and black hebros both be lost tribes. I say we have those two groups duke it out.
BTW the original poster was banned
-
Except when the Christians were murdered it was usually a means to an end, but when the Jews were murdered it was the end in itself.
I don't think the religious or government hierarchy necessarily had any greater hatred for a Jew than they did anyone else they considered to be a "heretic", or an enemy in war that was killed and/or tortured, but dead is dead and it was all very bad. It's true that Jews were hated as a group specifically but so were people who practiced other religions such as native paganisms/witchcraft, etc. or anyone who followed what would have been considered nonstandard/rival versions of Christianity at the time. People back then in general didn't view religion as a personal, free will choice at all but saw rival religions as subversive and treasonous to the leadership and/or entire society at best.

It's like Nazism or Islamic jihad--yes Nazism and jihad have killed millions throughout Europe and fellow Muslims (respectively), but Jews were the only specific, premeditated target that a plan was in place against from the beginning. That is why the Holocaust and the various jihads throughout the Middle East are uniquely Jewish incidents even if ultimately Sh*tler wouldn't have minded killing all non-Aryans and non-Germans and Islamic leaders would like to kill all Muslims that differ in any way from them as well.

I don't see one person dying as being necessarily worse than another person dying. Girls in China who died because their feet became gangrenous after having them mutilated didn't count any less than a protestant in Europe burnt at the stake for following what was considered to be the "wrong" form of Christianity by the RCC. This is true of most of human history, of how people were treated and too often still are treated. Much of the third world still has horrors like this occuring, such as innocent people in Africa being murdered for magical ritual purposes. I don't think Europe has ever had the monopoly on evil, as evil as many things were that occurred there during the last several centuries.
I think the Nazis stood out as particularly evil because they weren't some centuries-ago ignorant fools, but they deliberately did what they did in a relatively modern world, with modern technology and supposedly previous to this had a modern civilization in the first world. In spite of all this they STILL chose to be purely evil and they did focus specific hatred on Jews. That was absolutely demonic and the most extreme example of evil I know of. You definitely have a point when it comes to them and their pure hatred/evil.

Both Rubystars and Brennanfan are missing the point here...
The Jews have uniformly been mistreated on every continent we have lived in. The Jews are a convenient 'scapegoat' whether it is in the east or in the west, whether in Europe or the Middle East. Jew hatred cannot be compared to misogyny as Rubystars is implying. Jew hatred has been a blight on both Christianity and Islam... Jew hatred also is an affliction of those who hate G-d, or don't believe in G-d. Jews are hated whether we are rich, or whether we are poor, whether we are insular or even when we assimilate.
Jew hatred is not like any other racism or hatred in the world. In order to understand it you must attempt to understand the Jews mission in the world...

Your original post seemed to imply that Europe was somehow fundamentally more evil than other continents so that's why I thought that you meant that. I brought up the other people dying from cruelty because I don't see them as being more or less worthy than someone who dies in Europe.
In our modern society we tend to think of religion as a personal free will choice that everyone has a right to decide for themselves. Back a few centuries ago, this was simply not the mindset at all. Muslim countries still have the older mindset, punishing/murdering "apostates", witches, atheists, members of other religions, etc.

According to Jewish belief we have several eternal opponents...
1) The descendants of Ishmael (The arabs)
2) The descendants of Essau (The Europeans, descended of Rome)
3) The descendants of Amalek (Who is related to both Ishmael and Essau)

Originally Rome considered most of the rest of Europe to be a bunch of barbarians, so how can you say that Europe= descendants of Rome? Granted they did rule over much of the continent at one time or another.

From Chabads page:
Let's now see what the Torah says about the source of our affliction. According to the Arizal, Rabbi Isaac Luria, Israel is passing through seven exiles among the nations. Until the final redemption, we feel the effects of all of these seven exiles. The last two exiles, which we are most strongly experiencing, are that of Edom and Ishmael.
The Arizal teaches that each exile corresponds to a limb of the shadow side of humanity (see "Israel and the Seventy Dimensions of the World: a Kabbalistic approach to an enduring world peace", p. 44). "Edom" corresponds to the shadow side of the right leg of humanity.
Edom inherited by Esau, Jacob's (Israel's) brother originally settled the land south of Judah's inheritance, adjacent to the south of Gaza. Esau has since dispersed and infiltrated the Western culture of Europe and America. Because of Israel's present unconscious state and her subsequent malfunctions, the right foot of humanity's shadow side is exerting its influence and handing Israel over to her enemies. Translated to the political arena, America and Europe are pressing for Israel's amputation.
Although we experience all exiles in varying degrees until the final redemption, we are presently dominated by the last two exiles, that of Edom and Ishmael. Ishmael, the last and most dominating exile, corresponds to the left leg of the shadow side of humanity.

The Chabad author seems to be saying that Judaism considers America and Europe to be its mortal enemies. This is almost identical to what neo nazis say.
So as an American of European descent, I'm automatically considered to be an enemy regardless of the fact I don't want to be? Is it like blacks who will always hate me even if I were to go and work in a homeless shelter then? I don't know if you really want to go this route Muman.

These are not physical attributes but spiritual attributes. Indeed the American system is not the Torah mandated system of government, and as Rabbi Kahane has said many times Democracy is not a Torah ideal.
It is possible for descendants of Esau or of Ishmael to convert to Judaism and then they are ideologically on the same page as the Children of Israel. But the ideology of Europe is described as the Descendants of Edom, as are the arabs called Ishmael and Amalek...
http://www.simpletoremember.com/articles/a/isaac_and_his_sons/
Esau, who embodies the power of might and sword, will, through his descendants, give rise to the Roman Empire or “Edom” as the Bible calls it. The power or Rome clearly lay its ability to conquer, dominate and build and Empire. Even after the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, the spirit and power of Rome will perpetuate itself through the rise of the West and the Empires of Europe. And, of course, it is the Romans (as in Roman Catholic Church) that converted the world to Christianity, the other great monotheistic faith.
.
.
As intense as the rivalry is between Isaac and Ishmael (the Jews and the Arabs) they are only half brothers. Jacob and Esau are twins with the same genetic material. This rivalry (Israel and Rome/The West) is understood to be the ultimate rivalry in history. This is nothing less than a cosmic struggle. These two—Jacob and Esau—started fighting in utero, and they’re going to be fighting throughout history. The battle continues until today and does not end until the final showdown during the messianic era. It’s not an even battle ever. Esau will always be stronger in the physical sense, but the Jewish people have inner strengths, resources and a destiny that will ultimately lead to their triumph and humanity’s return to God.
-
I have to agree with Rubystars. The continents are equally evil, both when it comes to abusing and brutalizing fellow humans in general and anti-Semitism in particular.
I remind all of my thread of a few weeks ago, "Yimach shemo to the world".
-

I don't want a theocratic government. I want a technically secular government that allows for free expression of religion in the society and public arena and for individual choice of faith.

Judaism discourages converts, right? Is that the only way someone can be 'good' in your eyes? If they believe in your religion as the right one? Sounds an awful lot like the ancient mindset I was talking about earlier in some ways.
I support Israel, but I also think there's some very good things to be preserved in Western nations. I think Judaism should concern itself with Israel.
-
You two need to calm down for a moment! Before the tread is taken down. And I can't say much right now. But you two are fighting over the same culprit.

Judaism is a religion. We do believe that the entire world will know that Hashem is the creator of heaven and earth. We also believe that there are eternal enemies of our people, as I mentioned Esau, Ishmael, and Amalek.
We don't insist on everyone becoming Jewish. There is the Righteous Gentile who observes the seven Noachide commandments...
PS: The only reason we discourage converts is because we don't want to convert someone who will end up failing to keep the covenant, and thus be judged more harshly than they would have been judged had they not converted. Otherwise Judaism allows converts and has a favorable view toward them {consider the many commandments concerning the good treatment of converts}...
See : http://ohr.edu/ask_db/ask_main.php/205/Q1/
Before the giving of the Torah there was no strict legal definition of a Jew, because the law had not yet been given. This means that the people who came to Mt. Sinai were not Jews (in a legal sense) yet. In fact, the Revelation at Mt. Sinai can be viewed as a mass conversion to Judaism of millions of descendants of Abraham. In this sense, every Jew is descended from a convert; some go back to Sinai, and some later in history. The idea of conversion after Mt. Sinai is mentioned in the Torah itself and we are exhorted more than thirty times (!) not to oppress a convert. For instance, "And when a convert lives amongst you in your land do not oppress him. The convert shall be like one of your citizens and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the Land of Egypt..." (Leviticus 19:33-34)

Ok. I just hope you don't think that if someone is loyal to the USA that that makes them your automatic enemy somehow. You've got me to wondering if the leftist Jews in the West might be using the concept you're discussing to justify their leftist activities in the West as undermining the enemy.

Which I have no intention of ever following because I've got my own religion. I guess I'm bad to the bone. :::D

I doubt Leftists Jews know anything about what I am talking about. And there is no desire of religious Jews to undermine America. But we must resist the negative influences such as the sexual immorality which is broadcast and displayed everywhere, the influences which make it hard to observe our holidays and our rituals, and the fear of being outcast because we don't believe what the majority of our peers believe.
Generally we look at it through the statement 'Esau hates Jacob'.... as this article discusses:

Lol amazing question. And yes that should be a fight to the death in a roman colisseum with wild animals thrown in the mix.
-
Rubystars, why are you making light of the mistreatment of Jews throughout the centuries in Europe?
And no, killing people who disagreed with certain church positions or who were secretly pagan is not same as repeatedly singling out entire communities of Jews, who were viewed as evil incarnate, for murder, expulsion or forced conversion. Catholics were against Lutherans and vice versa. But the position of both denominations was identical when it came to the Jews.
I just can't believe what I read.

בס''ד
The two comments posted on this thread by Dan Ben Noah reflect perfectly the Torah Jewish position.
In regard to bloodlines and lost tribes:
G-d's covenant with the tribes of Israel is governed by Torah, not bloodlines. Even the question of who is a Jew is governed by Torah. Therefore regardless of who the lost tribes are, they will only receive the inheritance promised to Israel if they attach themselves to the Torah. If they became part of the surrounding peoples and no longer observe Torah then they are cut off from Israel regardless of who they descended from.
In regard to the Torah view of nations that have historically been hostile to the Jewish people:
Obviously if someone is from an Edomite nation but does not subscribe to the anti-Semitic aspects of their philosophy and actions, those people would not be considered an enemy of the Jews. It's sort of like even though traditional black culture is evil, if blacks are upstanding human beings and don't subscribe to the violent, promiscuous, lazy ghetto culture, then they are not considered an enemy. Yet there will always be people who say that just because we condemn anything that has to do with blacks, we're racists.
Now let me try to sum things up as simply as possible:
Righteous Jews of every color and ethnicity and righteous Gentiles of every color and ethnicity = Good
Evil Jews of every color and ethnicity and evil Gentiles of every color and ethnicity = Bad
-
Rubystars, why are you making light of the mistreatment of Jews throughout the centuries in Europe?
I'm definitely not doing that. I think DBF understood what I said best. Obviously anti-Semitism is evil and wrong and Europe does have a strong history of anti-Semitic sentiment. Sorry if my posts were confusing.
And no, killing people who disagreed with certain church positions or who were secretly pagan is not same as repeatedly singling out entire communities of Jews, who were viewed as evil incarnate, for murder, expulsion or forced conversion. Catholics were against Lutherans and vice versa. But the position of both denominations was identical when it came to the Jews.
I just can't believe what I read.
Obviously a targeted genocide like that is on a different level of evil than brutality in general. I was just saying that the world in general (not just Europe) was an evil place toward Jews and others and in many places still is.
-
Ok, thanks for clarifying.

So in actuality the Jew and European are more genetically similar then the Jew and qurananimal

Yes this sounds right because the evil Jews asuch as Richie silverstein ,Phillip Weiss and a host of others are spiritually the erav ra or amalikites

I really thought that was an interesting article. If someone would have asked me which was stronger, evil or good, I probably would have said good, but it was interesting the way they described the intensity of hatred versus love, etc. and gave a possible explanation for why darkness exists. That's one reason I like reading things like that, it makes me think of things in different ways.
Maybe it does explain why some nations of people just seem to be particularly obssessed with hatred though, if there is some kind of generational curse on them.
http://www.torah.org/features/secondlook/antisem.html
That article reminds me of another thread I was in recently. I was discussing the fact that liberals in general do not recognize things like nationhood or separate peoples, but see themselves and other people as individuals, and as cosmopolitan "world citizens". It's as if they're unable to acknowledge Jewish rights because they're unable to acknowledge that a Jewish nation even exists as a distinct entity at all.
I agree that's why they rail against Israel as an "apartheid state", etc. because they think that any attempt to preserve one's own people and keep them separate is somehow wrong or evil. Most white liberals for example have already stabbed their own people in the back so they probably resent the fact that many Jewish people do still have a sense of group identity.
This makes the liberals/globalists anti-Semitic by default. Survival is a basic instinct and that includes survival of one's own people. Jewish people have that same fundamental right to self-preservation and I don't think liberals are very intelligent to try to pretend like differences between peoples are superficial. I think some of them hate Jews because Jews are a distinct group and the anti-Semites want to do everything they can to destroy them, not necessarily as individuals but as a group, as a nation, although most of them wouldnt' mind harming individual Jews either.
Jewish nationalism is a right wing concept, so left-leaning European Union types are automatically against it.
http://www.torah.org/features/israelmatters/jewsdying.html
I liked how that article talked about the important role that Jews are chaged with in raising civilization, etc. in spite of the hatred and resentment that they get. It's true that a lot of advances in science and modern law and other areas came from really smart Jewish people.

Thanks Dan and Chaim for adding your thoughts to the thread. I enjoyed reading both of your posts.
Also you're welcome Lisa. Sometimes when I go off on a tangent following a point I can get a little unclear and I don't want anyone to misunderstand me.
