I lack the patience to sit through seventy minutes of stuff to answer these questions when you can no doubt address them in something closer to five
minutes.
Please, in your own words, convince me that not only am I a member of a lost israeli tribe, but also that my next-door neighbors (civilizationally
speaking) are from a different tribe.

If you can't sit and learn about where you came from for a few hours and need me to do it for you thats just sad.
No, I need neither you or your silly videos to figure out where I came from. I just wanted to hear the answer to a particular question regarding your
claims, without having to sit through 65 minutes of filler for it.
Gen 49:19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
Who defeated the Native Indians? The U.S Cavalry Troops.
Which indians? The Lakota were defeated by the 7th Cavalry, but the Nez Perce were eventually defeated by a conscript militia. The Choctaw, Cherokee,
and Chickassaw were overcome by politicians and lawyers, while the creek were defeated mostly by the Cherokee and Choctaw. The Alaskan natives were
never defeated in battle, just subjugated by politics. The Apaches weren't defeated by US troops, but rather by internal struggles and the occasional
assault from Mexican forces and US "indian hunters". The Natchez kicked Hernando de Soto's butt, and then went almost extinct from Cholera. The
Nassagarett indians were killed off my the Plymoth colony, in part by poison!
Deu 33:20 And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
Deu 33:21 And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the
people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
This talks about the Lord blessing them with "enlargeth" = big country = north america when they were on the run.
Except again, which indians are you talking about? Most of us didn't run around that much - the Lakota fled up into Canada, the Nez perce went from
California to Idaho and back, and of course, lots of tribes got shipepd to Oklahoma, but I don't really figure that counts.
Gad dwells as a lion is relevant to the facial war paint markings, the Indians wore. As lions the hunted the herds of buffalo with swiftness of
the roe deer. The crown upon is head symbolizes the feathered headdress worn by Chiefs.
Y'know, I have an interest in African wildlife. I hope to visit someday. I've looked at plenty of pictures of lions, but I can't remember many
lions having black foreheads, red chins and white cheeks. Or horizontal stripes across their face. Much less any handprints in ochre yellow along
their chests. There's not much that's leonine about Native war paints. You might have better luck looking at the Masaai for this one.
Hell, bonus points - the masaai practice circumcision!
1 Chronicles 5:18 :
The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and
skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.
Sound familiar? I hope so...
The Native Indians gave the Euro's are hard time at war.
If their fate wasn't already sealed by God they would have kicked ass.
So, judging from your OP, that would be, the native Americans, the Seminole, and half of the Cubans? Well, here's the trouble. Those Cubans? They
were named the Carib. First cousins to the Arawak that lived on Hispanola. They sucked at war. Something awful. They didn't have bows and arrows
(they used bamboo lances) no shields, and the first thing one of hteir chiefs did when he saw a sword was grab it by the blade.
Unsurprisingly the Caribs were extinct within forty years. Disease and massacres took their toll. They didn't fight back - they comitted suicide very
frequently though.
Moving north into the "Tribe of Gad".... Pretty much the same story, really. The Indians weren't very good soldiers. Any given indian could be a
damn good fighter, but they had no concept of "military". War consisted of all the guys in one band rushing around, killing and whacking the guys
from another band, then going home after an hour or two. A few days later that other band would do the same. it was tribal warfare, sort of like
"Dude, i'm bored, let's all go pick a fight with the neighbors"
It wasn't until the late 1800's that the indians started getting hteir junk together and picked up some useful tactics from whitey. By then it was
rather late. Though I do have a personal fantasy of what would have happened if Tecumseh, with his British military training, had actually succeeded
in his endeavor to unite the tribes on the US' western frontier.
Jdg 20:38 Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise
up out of the city.
Smoke signals.
Which were not used by the vast majority of natives, because htey didn't live in areas where the things would be useful.
Exo 36:19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
Exo 36:20 And he made boards for the tabernacle of #tim wood, standing up.
Should sound familiar.
No, it doesn't. Rams? Tabernacles? #tim (acacia) wood?
Exo 35:27 And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
ephod = Buffalo.

an ephod is an article of clothing, man. It's like an apron / girdle thing. You can find images with a simple web search.
-Mr.Columbus traveled to Hebrew interpreters, Why?
Because he, like most Christians at the time, believed that the bible was a literal account, and that these people he'd met on the other side of the
world
must be lost Jews. it simply never crossed his mind that the people he met were there thousands and thousands of years before some
penis-cutting desert-dwellers decided to give up a few extra gods and keep the crazy tree-hating, pillow-smiting one.
Theres a few more but I suggest you start doing your own research stop being lazy and don't say this isn't enough proof you asked for a 5 min
explanation.
I've done lots of research. I'm deeply interested in my roots. I'm also deeply certain that you are either completely full of it, or have been
horribly misled by others who are completely full of it.
Good day.
