1. Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations Getting Back into Action
We are moving moving house, home, office, storage space, and everything else. We have been off-line for the past week.
Now we are getting back in action.
There is a slight possibility that some messages and queries sent to us did not arrive. Please take this into consideration.
Our Internet service and telephone connections etc have now been re-established.
The movement is still not completed but the end is in sight.
Also even after that we may still need a few days to put matters back together so bear with us.
OUR POSTINGS WILL PROBABLY BE LESS FREQUENT than THEY WERE IN THE PAST, AT LEAST FOR A WHILE.
God be with you,
Yair

2. Gilles Durand:Â Numerous Descendants of Forced Jewish Converts to Christianity amongst French Canadians?
According to Mr. Jean Marie Gelinas there would have been has much as 400 families that came to New France [i.e. Quebec] in the mid 1600 at that point these families were for the most part located in the south west of France in the region of Bordeaux. These group of families came from the North of Spain and from the 1492 and the subsequent years had been expellees from Spain. It is these families that made their way to New France, and if his estimation is right that would mean about 1.2 to 1.4 million of us French Canadian would have Jewish origins!

re The Celts as Israelites.
Ancient Peoples of the West Called Themselves Hebrews

Yair,
Is it possible that the general ethnic designation ''Iberi", like "Hebrew", comes from Eber, but that they are the natural descendants of Eber through some line other than the one that led to Abraham, that is, Peleg - Reu - Sereg - Nahor - Terah?
Â
I ask because the core northern European nations that Brit-Am identifies with the LTT: Great Britain, northern Ireland, the worldwide Anglo nations, Netherlands, South Africa, and Scandinavia seem to have historical and ongoing animosity with the Celtic or Iberian nations, such as Spain, Ireland and those in Latin America.
Â
The Anglo-Saxons wrested England from the Celtic tribes who were there first and pushed them to the fringes of the island in Wales, Cornwall and parts of Scotland. Many examples of Anglo-Irish (Hibernian) warfare can be cited, from the beginning of their existence, down through the time of King James, Cromwell, and the Troubles of the 20th century.
Â
Francis Drake, the English sea captain who opposed Spain during the time of Spanish Armada, called Spain, "the natural enemy of the English nation". And of course this devolved into open warfare when the Armada attacked Holland and England at the Pope's bidding.
Â
The Mexican-American and Spanish-American wars resulted in the US detaching lands from Iberian powers.
Â
Spain, under the dictator Franco, was smart enough to stay out of a formal alliance with the Axis powers in WW2, but like the Nazis they were Fascists and did nothing to oppose Germany or assist in the international war effort against them. They could have helped.
Â
It has been documented that Ireland had pro-Nazi leanings in WW2. I can't agree with some who say that the Republic of Ireland has demonstrated genuine friendship toward Israel.
Â
In our times we've seen forces that are clearly anti-Israel, such as Ted Kennedy, Obama and Nancy Pelosi doing everything in their power to increase Mexican incursions back into the US in order to strengthen their voter base. And they leverage this to Israel's detriment.
Â
Personally I live in Texas, and while many Latinos are individually nice, I can tell l you from firsthand experience that there have been times when I've walked by a group of them and seen their contemptuous glower based on nothing more than my appearance. I wouldn't be surprised if you've experienced something similar with Palestinian Arabs in your land. I believe there is a tendency in all peoples to be more willing to express their true feelings (for better or worse) when they are in a group.
Â
I realize that some counter-examples of internecine warfare between LTT nations such as England and the Danes or between individual early English kingdoms can be cited, but these power struggles did not persist over centuries. In fact, they ended with descendants of the warring parties intermarrying. They were ethnically indistinguishable to begin with.
Â
Broadly speaking, there is a divide between the Anglo-Scandinavian peoples and the Romanized-Latinized-Iberian peoples. The former is in general supportive of Israel and the latter is supportive of Palestinian and Arab causes. The former is Protestant and the latter Roman Catholic.Â
Â
Of course many individual examples of the reverse can be noted (and the Almighty will judge as individuals), but in general that is the truth as I perceive it.
Â
If this is true, then it's dangerous to categorize the Iberian Spain/Ireland/Latin American nations as being among the LTT. It's inviting unreliable people into the midst of the congregation and it will come back to bite us. It already has.
Â
The early patriarchs such as Eber undoubtedly had many children, not just those listed in Scripture as leading to Abraham. It has been wisely spoken 'By their fruits you shall know them'.

Brit-Am Reply:Â In Defence of the Irish
Perhaps in our article,
The Celts as Israelites. Ancient Peoples of the West Called Themselves Hebrews
http://hebrewnations.com/articles/biblical-proof/attributes/hebrewcelts.html
 we did not make the point clear enough?
The ETHNIC Name Iberi amongst the Celts is associated with Israelites.
The name was given to other peoples in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) due to a people of that name having once been there though later they moved out.
Our impression is that most Spanish and Portuguese were not Hebrews (Israelites) though some may be.
As for the Irish we have always taken the position that both Northern and Southern Irish are basically of Israelite origin, again with some exceptions.
This has been our understanding from the beginning.
Naturally the recent discovery and revelation by the aunty of Yair Davidiy that his grandfather was probably fathered by a wayward Irishman (confirmed by DNA) taking advantage of a Welsh girl has added to this conviction.
The Irish (i.e. the Southern or mostly Catholic bunch) are admittedly a problem.
They are often anti-Israel and anti-Israelite. They tend to be are profligate and inordinate consumers of alcohol. They can be fanatical Catholics, sometimes superstitious, and anti-Jewish. They are also often anti-British and inclined to overduly liberal political views in America, etc.
There is however another facet to the picture.
In the time of British Imperialism, one third of the British Imperial forces was comprised of Catholic Irishmen.
The Victoria Cross was initiated due to one of them and they received more than their relative proportion of its awarding despite prejudice against them.
In the USA, they have produced great men such as Ronald Reagan whose positiveness more than compensated for the negativity of others.
In Ireland, they preserved records and have a history of literary endeavor which is Israelite in character.
The historical and Biblical evidence is undeniable.
They are Israelites just as others are. This needs to be admitted and coped with despite all the contradictions it may involve.

#3. Moving and the Sixth Sense. Providence. A Recent Anecdote
Dear Yair Davidiy
The Celts and Israelites 2274. A very interesting video and article, with many proofs, that make it impossible to deny that there is a link with to the tribes.
God bless you and Brit-Am with the move to your new residence. I hope all goes well. You say it's, Providence, yes I am sure God hand is at work in this move.

5. Robert Smith: Descended from Zebulon!
Thanks for your wonderful articles, I have been studying this topic for thirty years and have been greatly blessed.
After reading your book, I realized I have a variant of the name of Zebulon (SHEBEL/Zebel)in my ancestry.
