Offshoots of British Israelism
There are various offshoots of British Israelism, most of which emerged in the late 19th century or the early 20th century, including Dutch Israelism, Nordic Israelism and French Israelism. A more racialized form of British Israelism, which promotes antisemitism, emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, and is sometimes called Christian Identity. Christian Identity teaches that Jews do not descend from Judah (as British Israelites maintain) but from Satan. Another key teaching of Christian Identity is that non-Caucasian people do not have a soul and therefore cannot be saved.

Famous quotes containing the word british:
“The great British Library—an immense collection of volumes of all ages and languages, many of which are now forgotten, and most of which are seldom read: one of these sequestered pools of obsolete literature to which modern authors repair, and draw buckets full of classic lore, or “pure English, undefiled” wherewith to swell their own scanty rills of thought.”
—Washington Irving (1783–1859)
