No, Israelites weren't African or descendants of Africans; however, they were black which doesn't automatically mean they were from Africa. The term African American was only applied either because enslaved Israelites (in America) were thought to have been captured in parts of Africa where they fled, or because it was used to hide the Israelites true heritage leaving "African Americans" confused about who they are, where they come from, and where they have their strongest connections in history.
