Anglo-Israel movement.—First formulated in 1794 by Richard Brothers, the Anglo-Israel movement attracted to itself over the next hundred years nearly two million followers in England and the United States dedicated to the proposition that the Anglo-Saxon people were in reality the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel (as distinct from the Jews representing the remaining
tribe of Judah). Starting from the assumption that Jeremiah meant Britain when he referred to the “isles afar off,” the theory was stuck together from bits and pieces of Biblical phrases, twisted out of context and mixed with scraps of pseudophilology based on the similarity of words and sounds. ‘British’ is derived from the Hebrew ‘Berit’ meaning ‘covenant’ and ‘ish’ meaning ‘man’—ergo, ‘man of the Covenant’; the Saxons were said to be ‘Isaac’s sons.’ Brothers, who claimed he was a direct descendant of David and should replace George III on the throne, was arrested for treason but judged insane. Notable expressions of the theory are: Richard Brothers,
