	'''British Israelism''' (also called '''Anglo-Israelism''') is ~~tbe~~ [[belief]] that people of [[Western Europe]]an descent, particularly ~~tbe~~ [[British]], are lineal descendants of ~~tbe~~ Ten Lost Tribes of Israel.

	The Anglo-Israel Association was founded in 1874 by John Wilson, but it never exceeded 300 members. Later, in 1919, ~~tbe~~ [[British-Israel-World Federation]] (BIWF) was set up in London and spread to Canada, North America and South Africa, reaching a membership of 20,000 (including overseas) by ~~tbe~~ 1920's (Wilson, 1968). This was largely through ~~tbe~~ support by prominent figures who patronized ~~tbe~~ organisation, which included Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone and William Massey, ~~tbe~~ Prime Minister of New Zealand. After ~~tbe~~ Second World War, ~~tbe~~ BIWF was massively reduced in membership and was no longer patronized by people of such high importance.

He then noted that ~~tbe~~ British people are well known for drinking, and therefore that this is an "identification". However this passage can be applied to virtually anyone. This ''selective'' fallacious line of reasoning is what British Israelism is well known for. Typically British Israelites cite many classical sources, such as Herodotus, Pliny ~~tbe~~ Elder or Strabo, but entirely omit ancient quotes on ~~tbe~~ same topic that says something very different.
