Tribe of Dan: Were the Vikings Actually Jews?

[StormjaerKommando]

Does anybody know anything about the jewish claim that the Vikings were descendants of the jewish tribe of Dan?

I don't know much about this seeing as I’ve only heard about it on one of those crack-pot homemade conspiracy theory videos recently, so please enlighten me!

There have been books published on this by jews...
Does anybody think this could hold water? When considering many factors this seems highly unlikely, but I'm hoping someone has some more or less concrete historical evidence that will refute this.

Such claims make the blood turn cold...

I think the only Jew making that claim is the one who runs Britam. According to Anglo-Israelism or Christian Identity, the Danes are supposedly the descendents of the tribe of Dan because of the similarity of the names. Saxon/Sachsen/Saksen is suppose to derive from Isaacson, as in the OT prophet Isaac . Y chromosome testing has disproven these theories.

Anglo-Israelism has been refuted.

The lost tribes [microform] : a refutation of the theories of Messrs. Welson, Hine and other writers who have identified them with the English nation : a lecture delivered under the auspices of the Young Men' s Society of Erskine Church, Montreal on 17th December, 1877

I've read theories that call the Picts, Irish, Scots, Saxons, and Franks a hebraic people.

With cited evidence as laughable as "Hibernia sounds a little like what would be 'land of the hebrews'"

DNA has proven that the jews and arabs (semites) to be totally different in DNA as Vikings and Northern Europeans.This is another case of some idiot babbling nonsense and lies. Any scientist who works in this field can tell you this .DNA is the pattern of who we are .It does not lie. The jews are as close to a Viking as a hog is to the moon

Descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes are today found amongst Western Nations according to the Bible and Rabbinical Commentary supplemented by historical and related studies. It is in these countries that Israelite Tribes realized their Destined Ancestral Expression. This is what was prophesied. It is what took place. It obligates us to take heed of who we are and all that it entails. This is the message of the Bible to you, now!

The USA and related nations have an obligation as Israelite Nations to fulfill their destiny. You are obligated by the Bible to be a great nation, uplift humanity, internalize Biblical Consciousness, maintain Biblical values, look after yourselves not only for your own sake but also for the sake of the rest of humanity. You should also support the Jews and the State of Israel: Again for your sake (as God-fearing Hebrews) as much as theirs.

I guess that sums up the motivation.

But actually, although it is utterly ridiculous, it has an evil background. It tries to justify their presence in our lands, and not only their presence but also their claim to leadership. And as a good (judeo-) christian, of course, we are supposed to obey

Hibernia was the Roman name for Ireland, meaning "Land of Winter". The word hibernate comes from the same root word. The native Gaels called it Eire from which we get the name EIreland in English.

Sure glad I am neither a jew or a christian

I knew it had something to do with the cold, and I knew the etymology related it to Hibernate, but yeah Jews will say anything to take credit for White accomplishments.

I don't think most Jews support the Anglo-Israelism/Chrisitan Identity theory except for that one who runs Britam. They don't want to share the status of chosen people.
