Jewish people AREN'T Israelites

I'M NOT TRYING TO BE ANTI-SEMITIC!!!

Jewish people claim that there Israelites. There not the only group the claim, just the most famous one.

I am going to try to show why I don't believe Jewish people are Israelites.

First, what does Israelite mean?

Dictionary.com defines it as....(Source #1)

"a descendant of Jacob, esp. a member of the Hebrew people who inhabited the ancient kingdom of Israel."

So a descendant of Jacob. We can all agree to be a descendant of someone you must also be a descendant of there children. So if you're an Israelite you're must either a

• Reubenite
• Simeonite
• Levite
• Judahite
• Danite
• Naphtalite
• Gadite
• Asherite
• Issacharite
• Zebulunite
• Josephite
• Benjaminite

There is only 2 Israelite tribes still in existence. So if you're an Israelite you must be a

• Levite
• Asherite

So if you aren't in one of those tribes, you're not an Israelite. Not all Jewish people are Levites or Asherites. Therefore, Not all Jewish people aren't Israelites.

--- Goodbye!!!
