Yes, I made a mistake. These things happen. And explain how they are not while I comb through your posts to find a typo and point it out because it will, no doubt, further a fruitful discussion.

I don't understand what the above statement means. Please can you tell us more, such as "how do you see things" with regards to the opening post inquiry?

This was asked back in post #7 on page 1, it would be helpful to hear.

As there already is confusion in responses. ...

Oh okay.

That DNA haplogroup is not from Judea, but from east, central, and south Africa.

Some African ""wannabe" Jews are claiming it as "Israelite" even though the scientific DNA haplotypes for Cohanim and Levites are not present in that haplogroup.

In other words - the claim is BOGUS.

MtDNA and Y-DNA studies are fascinating.

Black Hebrew Israelites

Practices:

1.Some groups stand on the street corners of major cities and condemn people for their allegedly false beliefs while using vulgar language.2 The Hebrew Israelites are very combative and generally do not want to listen when their views are challenged ...


Oops. OOPS!

I wish this came to light earlier ... otherwise I wouldn't have wasted 6 minutes of my precious time reading and responding to this drivel.

That's interesting!

I am part Romaniote. Romaniote Jews have lived in the Kingdom of Epirus for 2,300 years (it was originally believed Jews colonized that part of the world in the first century CE, but newer research has pushed the date back 3 or 4 hundred years). In fact it is believed to be the first colony of Jews in Europe. My ancestors from there spoke Yevanic, a dialect of Classical Greek written in Hebrew characters. My friend, Marcia Ikonomopoulos is the curator of Kahila Kedosha Janina, the Romaniote museum in NYC.

I'll entertain this.

Yet all the Lemba have E1b1a as their Y-DNA not to mention the Cohanim in the highest frequencies in the world. In other words the people in the regions stated and their scattered counterparts in the Eastern and Western hemispheres are Israelites. I also know of a Falashan Hebrew who says that the only people who can be Jacob's descendants are negroes.

He's not my voice, nor do I endorse that post.
