Talk: Israelite Diaspora

• I consider the de-portations of the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah to have been two separate, historic events, separated by the space of a generation or so, and similar to World Wars I & II, carried out during different military campaigns. Also, the Diaspora article concentrates mostly on the southern kingdom of Judah, prompting me to ask, "Whatever happened to the northern kingdom of Israel?" The 'Ten Lost Tribes' of Israel seem to have been presumed to have 'simply disappeared'. (Dec.)

  w.j.cameron, in a book written in 1933 gives a very reasonable discourse on the dispersion of the ten tribes, indicating

that they made an exodus from assyria during the break up of the kingdom of assyria and assimilated themselves amongst many countries in europe, not being a warring people, it was necessary for them to set up communities throughout europe and eventually going as far as the british empire and scotland and ireland, to join themselves with the remaining royal family that was transported to the irish islands during the prophet jeremiahs time, his discourse is backed up by biblical interpretations, and by secural history, however in the book that is written no bibliography is available, so as a student it leaves me curious, but with a lack of places to confirm or deny his theories. His conclusions , however, are quite believable and according to him are backed by a large amount of folklore affirming this. One in particular talks about a peculiar people moving through europe shortly after the breakup of Assyria. Another of his theories is based upon the statue of the prophet Jeremiah being in the four courts of Dublin. The book I am referring to is called Joseph Smith and Our Destiny. Published by Earl Harmer 1965. The only thing as I said that is lacking is that none of his references are documented by bibliography and what he states as fact can only be ascertained as conjecture without backing it up with references. In his discourse he states that the Goths, the Saxons, the Normans, the Celts and even the Spartans are actually Isrealites which have taken upon themselves other names.

This doesn't make any sense as an article

It's just retelling the information that would need to be conveyed in the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) and Kingdom of Judah articles. The title bears no relation to the content and there's no reason for this to a discrete article. Maybe there's something worth merging but probably not.Prezbo (talk) 08:14, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
