Dying Out: The Last Samaritans | Real Stories

The Samaritans are one of the most ancient tribes in the world - they’ve been around for over 3,000 years. But the population is now fragile and the tribe at risk of finally dying out...
Their population consists of just four extended families, around only 800 people in total (in Roman times there used to be over a million). They have three men to every one woman. To keep the tribe going they’ve tried bringing in women from afar, including a number from the Ukraine. But is it too little, too late?

This is all a fabrication. These Devils (deceivers) go about speaking lies - claiming Israelite-Samaritans, no such thing. Samaritans were Babylonians (Ethiopians/Cushites) place in northern Israel by the King of Assyria after the northern kingdom went into the Assyrian captivity. They then learn the customs of the Hebrews & call themselves Fallacia Jews. The word fallacia comes from the word fallacy which means false or deceit. So their name itself tells you they are fake. So called Samaritans are Hamites, Israelites are Shemitic. 2 Kings 17:22 For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them; 2 Kings 17:23 Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day. 2 Kings 17:24 And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.

[@d-centt3679]

It’s futile trying to educate a “smart” person like u self. But the good thing is that u’ve partially provided your own answer. Abraham had 6 sons with Keturah, 1 (Ishmael) with the bondmaid Agar & Sarah had Isaac. So how could a child of the “flesh” from Keturah be an Israelite when the scriptures says this: Romans 9:6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Romans 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. Romans 9:8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

[@d-centt3679]

[@d-centt3679]

Poor u. U could say u r an Israeli but NOT an Israelite. U took the customs of the Israelites & turned it into a religion which u call Judaism. The word Jew which the name of your religion derives, comes from Judah the 4th born son of Israel. The one u call Ashem which just means “the name” never gave Moses religion. He gave him laws, statutes & commandments. Not to be rude but u’ll have go read up about Esau & u’ll come to find out that u are actually Amalek a duke of Esau. Jeremiah 14:2 Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. Isaiah 29:22 Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.

I told u that u inherited lies. U coming from a culture of victimhood I’m not surprised that u took it as a slight rather than go research, read & see for yourself. U know u & your ppl r not the descendants of Israel. Isaiah 14:1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. Isaiah 14:2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. Isaiah 14:3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

4 families? What? There are like 800 Samaritans in both Israel and Palestine. That is way more than 4 families. Also, Samaritans and Jews broke off not even 200 years after the 13 tribes united in a single religion. They had a serious hate-rift between them for a thousand years, until both were subdued by Romans. Had they stayed friends and with an alliance, maybe today the region would have stayed a Hebraic/Mossaic (Judaism/Samaritanism) faith instead of Islamic or Christian.

If you don't like women just don't be in a relationship with one

[@TheMusachioedBrony]

There is a famous television Israeli television personality called Sofi Tsedaka, and I remember hearing several years ago that she had converted to Judaism from Samaritan. I really wonder the reason there are three men for every one woman. In other countries that have this problem, it is because female fetuses were aborted due to the preference for male children. I cannot imagine this could happen in such a highly religious community. In nature, female fetuses and babies are stronger, so this imbalance is very unnatural. Could it be solely due to attrition of woman not wanting the restraints of a traditional Samaritan life?

[@TheMusachioedBrony]

[@yowaikemen]

Yes, it might be misogyny, unironically. Samaritans give their 'religion' in addition to the tribe through the father, Judaism gives the tribe through the father, but the religion through the mother, if that makes sense. So Samaritans have more incentive to have men than women. There are also a lot of strict rules on Samaritan women.

[@abdallaha92]

It's kinda ironic Samaritans are seen as different than Palestinians. Palestinians are a mix of Arabs and the local populations of Byzantine Palestine, with Samaritans being one of the largest groups we're descedent from. Nablus, along with Jenin, and Yibna, was mostly Samaritan until mass conversions during the Islamic conquest

Many people see conversion to Islam as abandoning their ethnic group. For example, in the Balkans many ethnically european Muslims are called Turks by their Christian neighbors.

Other than that of course they are the same of the rest of Palestinians but with a strain of excesive interbreeding. It remainds me of the case of the Irish travellers and the rest of the Irish. Of course they are very close but they have somehow diverged trough the excesive inbreeding of the travellers (and the "outbreeding" of the "other" Irish) So evolution is still at work of course and divergencies is bulding by the time. The gene pool is the same as Palestinians but culturally they are different. And with tine (and Ukranian wowans) this diferencies only can grow

[@EliteXtasy]

Eastern European women are more willing (i.e. easy). Women nearby - be it Arab, Persian, Turk, Afghan, etc - are more strict on who they'd marry and how they'd raise their children with regards to culture, politics, ethnicity, and religion. Even if they're willing, they'd still face social stigma.

They are suffering from inbreeding over generations and need DNA that is as different from theirs as possible to increase genetic diversity. The more genetically different the mother and the father is; the more healthier is the baby.

It is much easier to convert women who are less connected to any religion, we as samaritans dont trust marrying jewish or muslim women, not that we havent, but in the rare occasions that it has happened its usually ended in catastrophe so we tend to stay away.

[@nick_stayz_lit7377]

Samaritans can be a delicate topic because the ancient Kingdom of Israel is where Samaritans lived, whereas the much smaller southern Kingdom of Judah is where Jews lived. **Samaritans from Israel** and Jews from Judah notoriously thought each other heretics. Samaritans today still believe that Jews follow a false religion corrupted by Babylonian cult practices that got added during the Jewish exile in Babylon. For instance, Samaritans use a much more ancient Hebrew script, while modern Jewish people use a stylized Imperial Aramaic script. They were separate ethno-religious identities, and archeology shows there was never actually a united Jewish kingdom. TL;DR: the existence of Samaritans brig up an uncomfortable topic for Zionists: that the United Kingdom of Israel under Solomon or David as an ancient Jewish homeland is completely ahistorical. The actual ancient Jewish Kingdom of Judea was a very small area that didn't even extend to the coast... It would be like if Canannites hadn't been completely genocided, and still existed -- kind of negates the Zionist argument.

@@AQWOMAR9 You are not wrong, but in this instance, we are both correct. Samaritians are Israeli citizens. All Samaritian men serve in the Israeli Army and they frequently intermarry with Jews. Our religion is the same. It's like the difference between Sunni and Shia or Catholic and Orthodox. They are culturally and religiously apart of our nation and I invite you to go talk to them if you disagree, they literally call themselves "the sons of Israel." But, also too, they live among Palestinians, do business with them, etc. And hold Palestinian passports. Many of them were converted to Islam by force, under threat of expulsion or death, so that's not really saying much. It's a significant historical event in their oral history. Genetically speaking Jews, Palestinians and Samaritians all cluster together, we're all related. The closest genetic relatives of Palestinians are Jews and vice versa. Probably half of Palestinians are just Arabized Jews, Samaritians and Christians that converted to Islam, by choice or societal pressure during the many centuries of Muslim rule. Perhaps the Samaritians can help us see that we aren't that different.

Actually, you are the one who needs to get your facts straight: the ancient Jewish homeland was called the Kingdom of Judah, a tiny country to the south of the ancient Kingdom of Israel -- where Samaritans lived. Samaritans are the only real Israelis. Samaritans are from Israel. Jews are from Judah. Archeology shows there was never any fairy-tale 'united kingdom' under Solomon before that.

[@ZviJ1]

@@nick_stayz_lit7377 You obviously do not have a sufficient grip on the land's history. Your arguments are based on the fallacy or lie that the ancient Israelites of the Southern Kingdon were the most ancient Jews. But the name "Jews" came into being only during the Hellenistic and Roman occupation periods during the Second Temple era, when ALL Israelites, regardless of tribal affiliation and place of residence, who accepted Jerusalem as the Chosen Place, were dubbed "Jews" by those foreign occupiers. To dub the Samaritans "the only real Israelis" and deny the historic existence of the Unified KIngdon under the 3 kings who reigned over it (a position debunked by many archaeological findings that have forced its more honest minimalists in Israelite archaeology to realign themselves with the findings that prove this kingdom's existence) is equally untenable hogwash.

Hopefully, this makes for a good, nurturing opportunity for those women.
