your "tradition" is 500 years old, yet you want to argue for 1900 years? It's a cope. All these two do is cope. they pick and choose what information they want to care about, and how to interpret it to fit their narrative, then they ignore the rest.

You literally cannot argue with the fact that the northern 10 tribes were taken into captivity by the Assyrians in the direction of the Black Sea, and that they subsequently were known as the Scythians from then on. It's not only recorded in scripture (2 Esdras is part of the Catholic bible for fucks sake), it was recorded by multiple historians, and by 3 different empires carved in stone.

The Germans, goths, celts, Scythians, Gauls, etc. They were Israelites. Historical fact. Accept it and move on. modern jewish people are NOT Israelites.
