1. Introduction: Is Joseph about to be sold again?
Other Tribes Apart from the English-Speaking descendants of Joseph
Our study concentrates on descendants of Judah and the Lost Ten Tribes amongst Anglo-Saxon nations. This is natural since we identify the English-speaking peoples with descendants of Joseph. They were the ones where evidence of Israelite descent according to Biblical criteria is most blatant.
There were however other tribes and these too are important.
They also have an important role still to play.
These tribes were brothers to Joseph. They sold him into Egypt. After that reconciliation took place.
In our book, "The Tribes," and in articles on our web-sites we have identified different countries of Europe as containing significant proportions of Israelites in their populations. Most of the nations concerned are at present somewhat antagonistic to the State of Israel and reserved in their attitudes to Britain and the USA.
Is Joseph about to be sold again?
We shall now very briefly run through the peoples and countries wherein we find a component of Israelite descendants.
We shall begin with Ireland which includes Northern Ireland (Ulster). What applies to the Irish is also pertinent to some degree to the Scottish.
===============================
===============================
Most people of Irish descent live in Britain, the USA, or Australia. A minority live in Ireland. In the eyes of outsiders the Irish are part of the British though neither the Irish nor the British would necessarily agree with that.
Irish women are often quite attractive and make good wives. This was one of the qualities of the Tribe of Asher. Apart from Asher we also find amongst the Irish elements from Simeon, Yehudah, Dan, Naphtali, Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh), and others.
The Irish still find their major expression THROUGH Joseph.
The Northern Irish are the same though the relative proportions may be different.
There may also be non-Israelite elements in both parts of Ireland.
The Irish supplied the British Empire with manpower, soldiers, administrators, literary qualities, humor, optimism, nuns, priests, intellects, sportsmen, publicans, drunkards, and criminals. The Irish had it all for good and bad.
In the USA the Irish made similar contributions in addition to supplying most of the policemen in certain areas.
The Northern Irish of Ulster gave us more of the same along with entrepreneurs, scientists, doctors, industrialists, military officers, and Protestants.
In the USA the Northern Irish were known as Scots-Irish and supplied most of the Presidents and many of the millionaires.

Ronald Reagan (1911 €“2004) was only half Irish but he epitomizes certain under-appreciated qualities found amongst Irish people. The father of Reagan was 'a salesman and a storyteller, the grandson of Irish Catholic immigrants from County Tipperary, while his mother was of half Scots and half English descent'. Ronald became an actor and then Governor of California and then President of the USA (1981-89). He helped very much to bring about the downfall of the Communist 'Evil Empire' in Eastern Europe. He did this through a laid-back approach using bluff, bluster, effrontery, and the knowledge that his validity was not to be tested. It worked. Without warfare or bloodshed his achievements surpass those of many a conqueror. Reagan also revived the US economy. Reagan supported the State of Israel and enabled the Jews of the USSR and of Ethiopia to go free and move to Israel. It is somewhat ironic but history may yet judge Regan to have been one of the greatest leaders who ever lived. We have at first hand the testimony of Yehonatan David White who with his father, Rabbi Julian White, as representatives of AIPAC had a personal audience with President Reagan at the White House. President Reagan said he was descended from Irish Kings who came from Israel and believed in the Torah.
A famous song begins with the refrain, €œIt€™s a long way from Tipperary€. That was where the ancestors of President Reagan came from before moving to the USA. Prior to Tipperary they may well have been in Israel.
