The Ancient Hebrews may have been known as "Galli" which is the same name applied to the Gauls of France and Western Europe.
The Gauls were also known as "Iberi" and "Hiberi" both meaning Hebrew.
This term was also applied to their kinfolk in Britain and Ireland.
They were all descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.
The Commentaries of outstanding Jewish Rabbis in the Middle Ages confirm this.

2. Letter from Daniel in Ireland.
Hi there,
I love your research - thank you for publishing it. I'm sure it must be difficult to publicly take these stances when the subject of lost Israelite and He few identity is a bit controversial!
My heritage comes from the West coast of Ireland - namely County Clare/Kerry. On my mom's side I'm French (mostly Norman, Breton, and Occitan based on family historical records).
Have you read Lebor Gabala Erenn? Fascinating stories about how the Judahite Milesians and other tribes came to Ireland. I'm curious if it has influenced your research. Was the Irish Language Gaeilge fashioned from the 72 tongues?
Ireland is particularly interesting because there are so many theories about its peoples.
I don't know what to believe on the internet. Some say they're Hebrew
(which makes sense given historical evidence,
Semitic language substrates, etc.), and other theories say they are Aryans (Erenn) from Persian (sons of Persius?) culture.
Is the island a melting pot of both perhaps?
I wish you continued success and prosperity.
Best,
Daniel
Do you feel that your peers (whether or Jewish or not) in Israel are open to your opinions or do you run into challenges because of your views?
Additionally, do you expect this all to become public knowledge? Perhaps due to prophecy?

3. Answer to Question about Manasseh (USA) and Reuben (France).
Mark Williams wrote:
Are there any traditions connecting Manasseh with Reuben? Especially
in light of France's involvement in the War of Indepedence and its
obvious influence on American political culture and even language?
Ooh. You know who else helped the Colonists fight Britain? Spain... Which was settled by VisiGoths.
Brit-Am Reply:
The half-tribe of Manasseh bordered Reuben and together with the Tribe of Gad they formed their own special entity east of the Jordan.
It is worth looking into.
HaShem be with you

4. Psalms (TCT) 114.
1 WHEN ISRAEL LEFT EGYPT, THE HOUSE OF JACOB [LEFT] A PEOPLE OF A STRANGE TONGUE,
2 JUDAH BECAME HIS HOLY NATION, ISRAEL HIS DOMINION.
3 THE SEA SAW AND FLED; THE JORDAN TURNED BACKWARD.
4 THE MOUNTAINS DANCED LIKE RAMS, HILLS LIKE YOUNG SHEEP.
5 WHAT FRIGHTENS YOU, O SEA, THAT YOU FLEE? O JORDAN, THAT YOU TURN BACKWARD?
6 YOU MOUNTAINS, THAT YOU DANCE LIKE RAMS; YOU HILLS, LIKE YOUNG SHEEP?
7 FROM BEFORE THE MASTER, WHO CREATED THE EARTH, FROM BEFORE THE GOD OF JACOB,
8 WHO TRANSFORMS THE ROCK INTO A POND OF WATER, THE FLINT INTO A FOUNTAIN OF WATER.

We understand that whoever helps Brit-Am will be blessed from Above.
Brit-Am/Hebrew Awareness is a needed and positive cause.
Jacob (aka Israel) Kept the Law of Tithing: Jacob linked his tithing to a Return to the House of his Father. We can do the same.
Genesis (NIV) 28:
18 EARLY THE NEXT MORNING JACOB TOOK THE STONE HE HAD PLACED UNDER HIS HEAD AND SET IT UP AS A PILLAR AND POURED OIL ON TOP OF IT.
19 HE CALLED THAT PLACE BETHEL, THOUGH THE CITY USED TO BE CALLED LUZ.
20 THEN JACOB MADE A VOW, SAYING, IF GOD WILL BE WITH ME AND WILL WATCH OVER ME ON THIS JOURNEY I AM TAKING AND WILL GIVE ME FOOD TO EAT AND CLOTHES TO WEAR
21 SO THAT I RETURN SAFELY TO MY FATHERS HOUSEHOLD, THEN THE LORD WILL BE MY GOD
22 AND THIS STONE THAT I HAVE SET UP AS A PILLAR WILL BE GODS HOUSE, AND OF ALL THAT YOU GIVE ME I WILL GIVE YOU A TENTH.
MALACHI 3:
10 BRING ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE,
THAT THERE MAY BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE,
AND TRY ME NOW IN THIS,
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS,
'IF I WILL NOT OPEN FOR YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN
AND POUR OUT FOR YOU SUCH BLESSING
THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT.
Proverbs 3:
9 HONOR THE LORD WITH YOUR WEALTH
AND WITH THE FIRST OF ALL YOUR PRODUCE,
10 SO YOUR BARNS WILL BE FILLED WITH ABUNDANCE,
AND YOUR VATS WILL BURST OPEN WITH NEW WINE.
