>where did the Israelites go and where did the eventually wind up
The Israelites were White. Even before the time of Christ, who was also a White man, they had moved out of the Levant (which had been subject to invasion for centuries) into the Caucuses region and then into Europe. That is not to say that they were the only White people or the first White people. There is a lot of speculation about which groups they were specifically - the Celts, the Scythians, the Greeks, etc. - but they certainly weren't the mongrel, physically and spiritually deformed jews.
Yes, good stuff! They mostly moved by force after 3 Assyrian invasions, settling at first in Northern Iraq and Northern Iran. When Assyria collapsed, they saw their opportunity and split north as you noted. After over 500 years in the Caucuses, they moved in different groups into Western Europe, some going north, others via the Mediterranean.
I enjoy the Irish Invasions the best.
