Who are the Israelis - Cousins of the Arabs?

[Wizdom]

As-Salamu 'Alaykum brothers, I have been away for a while, I miss you brothers so much! :D I would like to ask some questions. I understand that the Israelis are the cousins of the Arabs, however I do not know who the REAL Israelis are. Most of these 'Israelis' in Palestine are Europeans (Russians, Holland, etc.). I also read that some Europeans claim that they're the descendants of Isaac, the son of Prophet Ibraheem (PBUH). I never met a REAL Israeli, I would love to see who my REAL cousins are, unless they're the Europeans, then I'm happy Or maybe the cousins of the Arabs are the Russians. I'm clueless, help brothers!

I just need to correct you on 1 thing, its a common misconception that most Israelis are European, and although that was true a least in the beginning of the creation of Israel, now its very different, check thee statistics out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Israel#Jews
yes there is a large amount of European Jews, but there is also a lot of Middle eastern Jews as well, they also outnumber the European Jews.
Peace

As-Salamu 'Alaykum brother, thank you for replying back to me. I have read the article brother Zulfiqr posted, and I noticed the part where it showed the Arab-Jews.

Mizrahi Jews and Sephardic Jews   2,721,000   50.2%
Beta Israel (Ethiopia)   130,000   2.2%
Ashkenazi Jews   2,767,000   47.5%

I'm not sure why the Ethiopians are in bold text. Anyways, I read about the Mizrahi and the Sephardic Jews, and I read that they're Arabs.

"This includes descendants of Babylonian Jews from modern Iraq, Syria, Bahrain, Dagestan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Lebanon, Uzbekistan, Kurdish areas, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Yemenite and Georgian Jews are usually included within the Mizrahi Jews group"

So please correct me if I'm wrong, but these Mizrahi jews, and the Sephardic jews are todays REAL Israelis, the original ones who descended from prophet Isaac (PBUH). Jazakum'Allah Khair. :D

Not Exactly, you need 2 know the difference. Mizrahim are decedents from Jews that mixed with Arabs, Persians, Turks, and other middle easterners. Sephardic Jews are those who lived in spain but were expelled, most settled in North Africa. the REAL Israelites, spread and intermingled with the local populations of where they settled, many of the people also converted, that why you have jews of all races. There is even a study that shows that modern decendents are in current day afghanistan.
Also Rememver:
Israeli = Nationalisty
Judaism: Religion
Israelite/Hebrews = Decendents of Issac

Jazak'Allah Khair brother, I always knew that a 'Jew' was a person from that religion, and not an ethnicity.

Bump, so I studied some more, and I found out that the present day people Afghans, like brother zulfiqar said, are the REAL Israelites. I searches on YouTube, and read a few articles on who the real bani-Israel, Israelites are.

As-Salam Walekum
Yeah!! and there is a tribe in Afghanistan Yosefzai (means sons of Joseph) from the time of Alexander The Great!!

[Wizdom]

WOW! This is amazing! Subhan'Allah. Do you think there are tons of Afghans in Palestine?

[Wizdom]

Ok, so I studied a bit more, and watched tons of YouTube videos on who the real Israelites are. There are a lot of people commenting on YouTube videos saying that the Pashtun people are not Israelites. A lot of people are saying that the afghan people are white, or 'Aryans'. People keep saying that they are indo-European, and that they're mixed with white people aka Europeans. They also talk about hitler saying something about the Aryans. I just want to know if afghans are their own race or not. Jazakum'Allah Khair brothers.

Brother many people (a.k.a. Jews and Christians) try to disprove this as it hurts them that they are 'Muslims' but there are many things that proves that Afghans are ancient Israelites but we are not 100% sure. And if the migrated tribes had to live east of Iraq and Persia did not they live in the present day land of Afghanistan( the part of ancient Arya Land which extends from Kazakhstan to Eastern Afghanistan )? In India they cant live because ancient Indians hates foriegners. and they Aryan race a.k.a. the race of hitler has blue eyes and i do not see a single Pashtun with this kind of eyes. And the Aryan race had been migrated to the Other parts of world such as Europe and they also had a invasion on the land of India and the at the time of babylonian exile of the Israelites there was no or may be very less Aryan presence in central asia. Pashtun follows a ruling named Pashtunwali which is almost equal to The Rules of Torah it includes marrying of the widow of brother, purifying house by blood etc... And more over the names of tribes Yosefzai-Sons of Joseph, Efridi-Ephraim and Lawi-Lawani. And Allah knows best. Thanks

Masha'Allah akhi, Jazak'Allah khairun. The Afghans have beautiful eyes Masha'Allah. Beautiful and unique. Not even the Europeans have those kinds of eyes.
