This post has to do with the re-unification of the 10 lost tribes of Israel with the jews. This is part of the prophecy of Ezekiel. Skorpion actually
turned me onto this as i didn;t know what the modern day names for the tribes would be. The modern day names of the tribes are Afridi (ephriam), Gaji
(Gad), Yusefzai (joseph). These peoples call themselves the Bani-Israel and in their traditions they were carried off from their homelands.
In Ezekiel 37:16-17, the prophet is told to write on one stick "For Judah..." and on the other, "For Joseph...". The prophet is then told that
these two "sticks" or "trees" (Hebrew: Etzim) shall someday be reunited under One Shepherd... echoing the days of King David who first
successfully united all the tribes many generations before.
It seems to me that the Palestinian bid for statehood may be this same re-unification described in this prophecy as many of these people may indeed
be descendants of the lost tribes.
There was a series of deportations of Israelites from the northern kingdoms by the Assyrian Empire via several invasions from the periods of 740
B.C.E. to 722 B.C.E. including the sacking of the northern capitol of Samaria. These deportations spread the 10 tribes all over mesopotamia from
Northern Iraq to the borders between Afghanistan and Pakistan. They never returned from their exile. In modern times they are muslim with jewish
customs in their routines.

This following link below speaks of their modern day tribal names.

Some of the tribes were nomadic and wondered the deserts, they call themselves the Pathans and they have many jewish customs like circumcision of
male children on the 8th day and celebrating Yom Kippur. It is possible that their lineage can be found within the Palestinian peoples.
Could it be possible that these Lost Tribes now muslim with jewish traditions, are the lost tribes? How shall they be reunited with their jewish
brothers? The prophecy by ezekiel says that the son of man (Jesus Christ) will bring them together again. Could it be by their belief in him?
