BRITISH ISRAELISM
British Israelism (also called Anglo-Israelism) is a pseudoarchaeological belief that the people of the British Isles are “genetically, racially, and linguistically the direct descendants” of the Ten Lost Tribes of ancient Israel. Numerous British Israelite organizations were set up throughout the British Empire as well as in the United States from the 1870s onward; a number of these organizations are independently active as of the early 21st century. In America, the idea gave rise to the Christian Identity movement.
