Another great read. I have heard that Jewish people of today descend mostly from the tribe of Judah, thus the label, and that the 10 northern tribes were dispersed and lost in the Assyrian abduction. I heard one fellow in a church I grew up in say that American WASP's came from those tribes. He was an ignorant Redneck so I believed him then. I have to support my tribe. I spit in the tube and it came back that my ancestors immediately cross bred with any one they walked by more than twice. I have no claim to anything genetically, but I know a guy that give me a little bit of value.
In college, we learned about Tay-Sachs disease. We were taught that it was inherited from two parents who both carried the gene. We were taught it was found in the Jewish population. Don’t know where the genetic mutation happened, but it helps prove the people group is genetically similar and special.
That sort of nonsense usually appears within some sort of agenda, so I took a (very) quick look at reviews for the book. They probably mostly just copy from one another, but there was general agreement among them that Koestler's motive in writing it was to combat European antisemitism by showing that a major group of "Jews" weren't Jews at all. Think about that for a moment. His strategy for countering anti-Jewish bigotry wasn't to counter the bigotry, but rather to counter the notion that Jews are Jews. That's ... astounding.
Thanks for looking into this Kenny. I appreciate the additional information. Grateful to God for all he has equipped you with. You are a blessing my friend.

I know that Guy too Jeff. And you are right my friend… knowing Him has made us worth much more than we could ever imagine.
Love your comments! They make me laugh even during these crazy, stressful days.

Very interesting insight Bonnye. Thank you for sharing it.
That's one I hadn't heard before.
