31. History falsified
Khalid ,   The Netherlands   (11.21.06)
Read this andd you will find all the lies about the so called lost tribe: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3329873,00.html By the way, can any one tell me how they got their distinctive Easst Asian features if you claim that they are descendants of anmcient Israelis. I thought that ancient Israelis were Semitic people with Middle Eastern features and looks? For any fair person this is enough proof that all your claims about your history are just myths tthat were already refuted by no othat than the work of Israeli archeologists themselves.
32. Welcome home, brothers and sisters!

33. "PALESTINIANS" (or should i say "arabs" of Israel) READ THIS
(11.21.06)
your "land" is in Jordan !!! that's where you come from almost all of you!! that's because jews started to immigrate to Israel and started to make their land propserous again that you decided that it was yours! So please stop making false comments "my dad and my grand dad and my grand grand dad ".....!!!!!! that has become so ridiculous and you are fooling only you. AND first of all it must be pointed out that "palestinian" is a completely created identity !! if one of you demonstrate that before jews made their "first alyah" , the so few arab residents call themselves "palestinians" then Israel may reconsider and relocate those families ...but only them . if not your land and you grand grand pa's land is in jordan or anywhere in the desert of "arabia" which is righfully yours! that's not because my family (who comes from MOROCCO ) and my grand grand grand pa lies there that MOROCCO BELONGS TO JEWS!!!!!!! that's exacly the same!!! so this is the same for arabs in Israel !! they can live there in our country but it doesn't belong to them! I want also to say that "palestinians" should stop being jealous of jews and stop being racist against those new indian immigrants (" comment number 2" is almost a racist comment)
34. I dont envy them if the way we
Prozac ,   anyone?   (11.21.06)
treat the Ethiopians is anything to go by...they are in for a long bumpy ride..Poor people... I t looks like we are importing more and more people to israel and we are not even dealing properly with the ones who have already immigrated and settled here. I dont know but as a Jew I am beginning to do some soul searching and the picture I am getting is not a nice one. Our track record SUX, with all the Sephardim, Ethiopian, Russians and now Indians...not to mention our treatment of the Palis..look they screwing up their own lives, just like the lebanese will now do in their country but we aint saints either!!. It appears to be endemic to our country. I dont know but from where i sit our track record is looking pretty dismal not to mention our Govt it is enough to depress you.
35. Khalid, ancient Israelites didn't look like you either
Jake   (11.21.06)
Didn't you know there is no such thing as a "Semitic" race; it is a group of languages. Your ancestors, Adnan and Qahtan, were from the desert sands of Arabia, since time immemorial. Abraham came from upper Mesopotamia, modern Kurdistan Turkey on the border with Syria. He settled down in Israel, he hanged around for a while in Egypt and Damascus (another place Arabs occupied), but he NEVER set foot in Mecca and Arabia.
36. This is so-called Israel, a jigsaw land
Noora ,   Bahrain   (11.21.06)
They are dying of hunger in India...so they want to go anywhere they get food and job..look at them in Arabian Gulf countries, they do very hard jobs for long hours and get low wages and they feel happy about it because they get nothing if they stay in India....
37. Well done!
eNosho ,   Syria   (11.21.06)

41. Each and every Jew immigrating or returning to Israel
Uzi   (11.21.06)
is precious and must always be welcomed and treated accordingly
42. It's no longer 948
bryan ,   Toronto Canada   (11.21.06)
Israel is a country...this native people you speak of..which offspring of Noah do they come from? and why haven't they been able to set up a country yet? You need to stop worrying about the Jewish nation, and put some time and energy into the constructive building of a country, and not a den of fear and ghetto's
43. Sad to see u leave India
Sagi ,   India   (11.21.06)

49. #35 - Jake read scientific history
Khalid ,   The Netherlands   (11.22.06)
Ok so your ancestors are the divine race having the the divine genes in thweir blood. Can you prove that through a DNA test.? And the historical myths and legends you talked about, has any decent respected archeologist (Israeli or foreigner) dared to say that they are correct? Read carefully, their work and their findings and then speak about history. Judaism is a faith and not a nation or a people. An individual belonging to a nation (Russia, China, India, ... ) can be a Jew or Christian or any other faith. and that is easily proved by the physical features and the looks of the different peoples emigrarting to Israel, they simply have the looks and features of the nation they originally belonged to before the lies of Zionism displaced them and brought them to Palestine to act as servants to American interests so that Americans can get their cheap oil (effectively stealing it from the Arabs) That is why an American like you is very enthusiastic about the Zionist project. How come that Israelis themselves criticize various issues in their state, whereas Americans always praise it? Besides, reading history carefully, will tell you that it is not possible to wipe out a people simply by saying they do not exist or they were not there 2500 years ago. Read history and you will find out that you can never wipe out the Palestinians. Of course you can stick to your myths about history but no scientific rational mind will support you
50. in the north !! why were not surprised? Sedrot needs new
fadi ,   lebanon   (11.22.06)
blood too !!! that would hav ebeen a much better idea but i dunno ill leave it for the israeli experts! they know better ... anyway after a crash intense course in north for getting used to katyusha rockets :p they will be able survive anywhere near Gaza borders :)
51. Bnai Menashe and the Lost Tribes
Tzvia ,   Tiberias, Israel   (08.20.07)
The so called "lost "Tribes, or the Ten Tribes of the Northern Country of Israel are not legends. Just as the Ethiopian Jews were once considered as legendary by those who did not do their homework, the Ten Tribes are dismissed as legendary by equally lazy or willingly ignorant big mouths. For information in English start with the Exiled and the Redeemed by Yitzchak Ben Tzvi (former President of Israel) . This book, written in the 1950's gives a documentation of the existence of the remnants of the Tribes. There are newer books, and at least one video in English. Hebrew speakers can find a wealth of information without much effort. A proud Jew welcomes his brothers to our land and awaits the Mashiach.
52. Searching for a friend
