the bible talks of his people being led astray losing all knowledge of there heritage and language, being taken into a new land on ships made to be slaves having to depend on the master for everything, worship the false gods of the land. now is that does not describe the African American slave trade I don't know what does. the israel of today is not lost.
- Answer:
Just as today, Israelites came in differing skin-tones, heights, and body-types. Our tradition is that the twelve sons of Jacob (the 12 Tribes) were not completely similar to each other in appearance, though none of them was really dark-skinned (Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:11).
Abraham and Sarah came from southern Iraq and their wider family from northern Iraq. Since DNA tests have shown that Jews intermarried infrequently throughout history, Abraham and the Israelites probably looked like Jews today.
DNA testing of Jewish communities worldwide has shown that they are all interrelated and of Middle Eastern genetics, comparable to the Sephardim today (not African or Egyptian).
In 2000, the analysis of a report by Nicholas Wade "provided genetic witness that Jewish communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations, evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into Judaism over the centuries. The results accord with Jewish history and tradition."
The only exception to this is the Ethiopian Black Jews, who show only a trace of DNA connection to other Jewish communities. Western ethnologists today hold the view that the Jews of Gondar (Ethiopia) either emerged from a Judaizing strain among Ethiopian Christians, or were converted by Yemeni Jews who crossed the Red Sea. A study by Professors Lucotte and Smets has shown that the genetic father of Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) was close to the Ethiopian non-Jewish populations. This is consistent with the theory that Beta Israel are descendants of ancient inhabitants of Ethiopia, not the Middle East. Hammer et al. in 2000, and the team of Shen in 2004, arrive at similar conclusions, namely that the DNA of the Ethiopian Jews probably indicates a conversion of local populations.
It has been estimated that this happened some 2,000 years ago.
And in America:
The beliefs and practices of Black Hebrew groups vary considerably. The differences are so great that historian James Tinney has suggested the classification of the organizations into three quite distinct groups.
Some of these groups are actually Christians, or part-Christians in their beliefs and practices. They have titles such as Church of the Living God, the Church of God and Saints of Christ, and the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ. Others profess beliefs closer to Judaism, such as the Commandment Keepers.
As Judaism sees it, the issue with their claims is that they can produce no generally-accepted evidence of actual Semitic ancestry. These groups created themselves spontaneously within recent history, from within the wider African-American population.
Any African-Americans who choose to become actual Jews through proper conversion are accepted into Judaism.
Example (Vietnam War era US Army Armor unit): Light Section (2 Patton Tanks) (or Heavy Section 3 Patton Tanks), 1st Platoon (5 Patton Tanks), Company "C" (17 Patton Tanks), 1st Battalion (57 Tanks), 69th Armor (69th Regiment), 1st Brigade (consists of two or more battalions), 4th Infantry Division (consists of two or more brigades), US Army. Two or more Divisions make a Corps. Two or more Corps make an ARMY. Such as the 5th Army. Example: The 10th Army (of the US Army), Commanded by General Simon B. Buckner fought the Battle of Okinawa during WW2 in 1945.

What stance did Britain and France take on reparations?
At the conclusion of World War I and through the formal peace-negotiations that followed, the allied nations of Great Britain and France took roughly the same stance on reparations in this way: they both believed Germany to be responsible for making them.

Two ways America's fight for independence influenced other countries?
In 1776, the American colonists began a revolution, making clear the principles of freedom and rights outlined in the Declaration of independence. These ideas bounded back across the Atlantic to influence the French Revolution. In 1791 the ideals of the American and French Revolutions traveled across the Caribbean and the Atlantic to the French-held island colony of Saint Dominique. Inspired by talk of freedom, enslaved Africans took up arms and shook off French rule. In 1804, the island became the second nation in the Americans to achieve independence from colonial rule.

The worst thunderstorm in history?
It was the greatest storm of 1287. This devastating damage literally swept away and sunk many cities beneath the sea, and several Dutch towns were also affected. Some people found themselves in a different location, and some found out that their ports had shifted inland. But luckily, the huge water outflow had directed some of the rivers to its new locations.
