The Scottish People since Ancient Times and until recently did not eat swine and eels since these foods were forbidden by the Mosaic Law that had once been observed by their Israelite ancestors.

2. The Milesian Irish Said they Descended from Israelites!
In case someone misses it, it is worth emphasizing a point mentioned in the above article.
The Irish also had traditions suggesting Israelite Descent and of having once kept the Mosaic Laws.
LOUIS HYMAN, for instance, wrote a history book entitled: "The Jews of Ireland", Published jointly by the Jewish Historical Society of England, London and Israel Universities Press, Jerusalem, Israel, 1972. Hyman had lived in ireland and had been a JP there. He knew his subject. On p.1 Hyman reports:
Quote:
"It is stated in very old copies of The Book of Invasions and other ancient documents that it was the Mosaic law that the Milesians brought into Errin [i.e. Ireland] at their coming; that it had been learned and received from Moses in Egypt by Cae Cain Beathach, who was himself an Israelite, who had been sent into Egypt to learn the language of that country by the great master Fenius Farsaith, from whom the Milesian brothers, who conquered Errin, are recorded to have been the twenty second generation in descent; and it is stated in the preface to Seanchas Mord that this was the law of Errin at the time of the coming of St.Patrick".
End Quote.
The above sources implies quite strongly that the Milesians were of Israelite Descent and that before becoming Christians (in the time of Patrick) they had kept the Mosaic Law.
The Milesians, according to Irish Tradition, were the last of the "native" groups to arrive in Ireland. They were to rule over Ireland for about 800 years and comprised about 30% of the population.

3. Andy Hoy: Israel News: Pope + President + Passover = ?
I recently happened upon some current events articles that I thought you might find to be interesting. Check out the YouTube clip if nothing else:
The President is scheduled to visit Israel in March. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/05/obama-to-visit-israel-in-first-visit-as-president/?test=latestnews
The Pope has found a seat at King David's Tomb. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/12814#.URIT1aUmp_c
The Passover holiday (and eclipses) are fast approaching. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuTb99tBC0c&feature=youtu.be
I think that they are gearing up to try to divide her.
Keep your eyes open and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Shalom,
