Oh that’s interesting, maybe I’ll make a post on the subject some time soon. It’s not exactly common these days, but it has some surprisingly strong historic cultural roots - for example, the Scottish “declaration of independence”, properly titled the Declaration of Arbroath ~1100 ad, included as a fundamental claim the direct descent of the Scots from the “lost tribes” of the Israelites, additionally there is so-called “british isrealism”, and so on. These cultural relics or beliefs being separate and distinct evidence from the migrational, geographic, genetic, linguistic, and broader historical evidence of which there is certainly quite a bit - enough such that I think our current paradigms can be demonstrated as incorrect, but not enough to propose a 100% wholistic, coherent, fleshed-out substitute, which is an unfortunate roadblock to really any paradigm shift.
Hey u/AlfredicEnglishRules, have you ever come across the claims of British Isrealism generally or Robert Sepehr specifically? What was your take on them?
If you see any validity to the “white israelite” argument, Phoenicians easily fit into that paradigm.

One of many videos on the subject by this guy (check his profile if it piques your interest)
Has he posted on the subject or am I just wooshing myself on something?
