HISTORY OF PUKHTOON

Posted by Arif Jan Khan Umerzai

The theory that the Pashtun or "ethnic Afghans" are descended from the ancient Israelites—more precisely, from the perspective of Jewish history the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel— has a longstanding basis as a tradition among the Pashtun themselves, was widely accepted by 19th century British scholars, and has been accepted by some reasonably recent and prominent individuals such as Itzhak Ben-Zvi, second President of Israel. However, contemporary anthropologists continue to debate this, putting forth an eastern Iranian people relation to the other peoples of the Iranian plateau based upon strong genetic and linguistic evidence, in addition to other possibilities such as admixture with invaders and groups that migrated to the region now inhabited by the Pashtuns.

Based on Findings of many international scholars, I firmly BELIEVE that we Pakhtun are Bani Israel .... and it is proven with our tradition and custum as well. Moreover, it is also proven with most of our tribes names that we are Bane Israel such as Barakzai, Barak is an Israelite tribe, Achakzai, (Isac is a name of tribe in Israel),Yusufzai, Sulaimankhel Adamkhel and etc which are all the name of Israeli tribes and Israeli historical and religious personages. Afghan itself is an Israelite name.
