Dear Yair
You may or may not know that some (loyalist/Protestant)
parts of Belfast in
Northern Ireland are at present festooned
with Israeli flags. Other
(Republican/nationalist/Catholic) parts
fly Palestinian flags. It is my
understanding that because some republicans
have shown solidarity with the
Palestinians loyalists show support
for Israel. Thus in some areas you have
British and Israelite flags flying
side by side. I'm not sure how far this
should bring any comfort to you.
Roy
Comment: All these points and
others like them are important and worth
taking notice of.
Even so, there are Irish Catholics
and other Catholics who do support
Israel and in some cases are sympathetic
towards Brit-Am.

In "Brit-Am Now"-21 we wrote:
From "Lost Israelite Identity"
(1996) by Yair Davidy:
THE AUSTRIAN CHRONICLE, CIMMERIANS,
AND ISRAEL.
The early center of Celtic Halstatt civilization was centered in
Austria. A Latin document known as
The Austrian Chronicle and purporting
to be based on ancient traditions may
shed some light on Cimmerian origins.
This source says that Central Europe
had been subjected by the Assyrians
and that Jews exiled by Sennacherib
were carried into Eastern Europe
along the Danube River. Beginning in
ca. 707 b.c.e. says the Chronicle, the
Jews overcame a certain King
Gennan who then became Jewish;
consequently, the Jews intermarried
with the local rulers in the regions of
Austria and
Hungary, the pagans were subdued
and the whole country was Jewish until
ca.227 c.e. This legend sounds quite
far-fetched but it is interesting to
compare it with known fact: Many Jews
from Judah were exiled by
Sennacherib and they appear to have
joined the northern Lost Ten Tribes in
Exile and
to have become identified with them;
There are signs in Europe at this time
of Assyrian influence; the Cimmerians
(who at the least included Israelites
amongst them) did come westward in
the period ca. 700-650 b.c.e. and did
gain control; A Cimmerian-Celtic presence
may have remained more or less
dominant in the area of Austria up
until the late date ascribed to Jewish
suzerainity.
We should have remarked the following:
1. In Jewish and probably in early
general literature the name
"Sennacherib" was a term given to ALL
the Assyrian kings and represented
Assyria in general.
2. The term "Jew" was applied to all
Israelites and was synonymous with
Israel. The term "Jew" could also be
applied to the Lost Ten Tribes. The
Lost Ten Tribes were considered "Lost
Jews". This may not be SCIPTURALLY
CORRECT or historically accurate but
this is how the terms were used. It
follows that the tradition may just
as well be considered as saying that
Israelites (from the Lost Ten Tribes)
who had been exiled by the Assyrians
established a kingdom in Austria until
ca. 200 BCE (or 200 CE according to
another version) and then moved out.
This scenario more or less corresponds
with what we have concluded from
other sources.
