Israelism, commonly called British Israelism, is the theory that the ten tribes of Israel were distinct and maintained their identity after the Assyrian captivity. The same school of thought which imagined that the wandering Israelites turned into the Afgans, the Nestorians, the Japanese or the Indians of North America has given rise to the British-Israelite theory. They propose that "the Anglo-Saxons are the physical descendants of the Israelites and that Great Britain with her daughter America has inherited all the covenant blessings given to Abraham".
