ED KOCH, former Jewish Mayor of New York City, once told U. S. Cardinal John O’Conner, an American of Irish descent, "The TEN LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL we [Jews] believe ended up in Ireland" (U. S. News & World Report, March 17, 1987). Mayor Ed Koch obviously himself believed some of the Israelites did "end up in Ireland." Ancient Irish history reveals that some of the dispersed Israelites ("Lost Ten Tribes") had founded a thriving colony in Ireland about 600 years before the time of the Prophet Jeremiah. According to Irish historian Geoffrey Keating, the first permanent settlers in Ireland were known as the "Tuatha de Danaan" (tribe or people of "Dan") whom we are told "after sojournin for some time in Greece...proceeded from thence to Denmark and Norway" (History of Ireland, vol. 2, p. 59). What does "Tuatha" mean? "TUATH...Irish history...a ‘TRIBE’ or ‘PEOPLE’ in Ireland" (New English Dictionary on Historical Principles, vol. 20, pt. 1, p. 441).
Keating also says, "The Danaans...left Greece after a battle with the Assyrians and went to Ireland; and also to Denmark, and called it ‘DAN-MARES,’ ‘Dan’s country’" (vol. 1, pp. 195-199). And the Encyclopedia Britannica states that "according to Danish tradition...Jutland [the mainland of Denmark] was acquired by DAN, the...ancestor of the DANES" (11th ed., Vol. 8).
