The Celts are Israelites Under Another Name.

So that is why the Scots are so cheap?

My grandmother warned me there would be people like you. I distinctly remember her pulling me aside at about the age of 5 and teaching me that the proper term is thrifty, thank you .

That one's new to me. I'm familiar with a slew of stories regarding the symbolism behind the Red Hand of Ulster, but all of them point to an origin rooted in native pre-christian culture.

But the Red Hand on the Ulster flag in set in the Star of David. And the flag is basically a Loyalist/Orange symbol, so I'm betting the Red Hand on the flag is connected to the one mentioned in Genesis, though it could be likely the British-Israelists in the Orange Order made a connection between the Red Hand of Celtic legend & the one in the Book of Genesis.

Funny, my granddad always called it "being frugal", in that austere McDonald of Keppoch manner of his.

I think that is quite likely. If I remember right, the flag you posted goes back to a grant of arms from the time of the foundation of Northern Ireland, and really comes to prominence in the '50's. The "Red Hand" appears well before that time, and can be associated with all 9 counties of traditional Ulster, but I don't think the Star of David was ever used in conjunction with it until then. This would be an interesting topic to research further.

This whole topic is such bullshit.... (No offense to the person who started it, interesting for the sake of conversation).

I really hate seeing stuff like this even being hypothesized over in the first place by people "in the know".

It does sound a lot like British Israelism, what is called Christian Identity over here. I know quite a few of the CI folk here in the Carolinas, and they are a unique bunch. In fact, the regional "pastor" is a raging alcoholic that can't hold down a job because he won't take his medicine. I think his last job, he was fired for telling his jewish boss that he was going to shove him in the oven. I have some of their literature, and it is very entertaining. The Apple Story is definitely a fun book to read. It also makes it hard for him to get a job with a big ass red Swastika tattooed off-center on the top of his head. He's gotta be the most white trash skinhead I know. Well, him and the other genius we know that had "Racist" tattooed on his forehead. If anyone has ever seen the picture of him, you know who I'm talking about. If not, I got pictures of him, including the mugshot when he was arrested in California in 2006. Josh was a character.

But, why does it matter to me if Celts are Israelites? It doesn't. I'm Heathen.

This theorie is easily proven/unproven by DNA research, so if anyone has an article on thát then I would try and even consider this theorie, wich I think is hilarious to begin with.

The Irish are predominately R1b, the Jews predominately (or at least the Kohanim) J.

Christian Identity (the belief that Europeans are the real ancient Hebrews) is for retards. Anyone with a basic understanding of population genetics would know better.

The Black version is the Black Hebrews who hang out on street corners of Manhattan and just yell at White people.
