WIKIPEDIA: According to the Bible, Galilee was named by the Israelites and was the tribal region of Naphthali and Dan, at times overlapping the Tribe of Asher's land.

MICHELLE FAUL: The crew of an oil tanker hijacked in Nigerian waters is from the Philippines, Georgia, and Russia
ISA SAGO: We must not rely on oil alone.
Remy C. Ilona: The Igbo Jews are said to have migrated from Syria, Portugal, and Libya into West Africa around 740 C.E. It is claimed that the initial immigrants were from the biblical tribes of Gad, Asher, Dan, and Naphtali. Later, they were joined by more Jewish immigrants from Portugal and Libya in 1484 and 1667 respectively.
David Mark: What makes Biafra all the more crucial for the future of Sub-Sahara Africa is that it is made up of an overwhelming number of Igbo. The Igbo believe they are descended from Israel and self identify as Israelites. With this in mind It is not surprising that in the Biafran Civil War, Israel actually gave supplies and support to Nigeria’s Southern region, which is where much of its industry and oil are. The irony is that the Igbo, as they begin to decolonize their religion and culture, have exemplified far more indigenous behavior than their fellow Nigerians. This is what makes Biafra important. It is a region experiencing a return to its ancient Hebrew roots and should be supported in its desire and drive to do so.
Shai Afsai: Academic integrity is crucial and scholarly precision is necessary when it comes to African Judaism.
SHAI AFSAI: Igbo Jews are practicing a joyous, forward- looking rabbinic Judaism, composing their own prayer melodies, continuing to learn Hebrew, and attempting to foster relationships with Jewish communities outside of Nigeria.
Though they lack centralized leadership and are not concentrated in a small geographic area, the Igbo Jews have in some ways come to resemble the Abayudaya of eastern Uganda or the San Nicandro Jews of southeast Italy.
George Robinson: "Re-Emerging: The Jews of Nigeria" is one of those peculiar documentary films that makes a sort of nonsense of everything I know about film and art. On the one hand, the film, which is produced, written, directed, shot, and edited by Jeff L. Lieberman, is a baggy, often shapeless mess, meandering and repetitive, filled with side roads that lead nowhere, and a narration that borders on the amateur.
More seriously, the film misses an opportunity to explore the function of Christianity in a post-colonial Africa, although it is smart enough to raise the issue.
There have long been rumors of a more direct connection between the Igbo and Judaism, and ~ in a country currently torn apart by Christian-Muslim sectarian violence ~ the idea that a third religious element could emerge is certainly intriguing.
Henry Abramson: First of all, it’s important to understand that Spain has a triangular culture, specifically: Christians, Muslims, and Jews.

Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM): France is paying, today, the price of its aggression against Muslims and its hostile policy towards Islam. As long as its soldiers occupy countries, such as Mali and Central Africa, and bombard our people, in Syria and Iraq, and as long as its stupid media continues to undermine our prophet, France will expose itself to the worst.

כְּאַיָּל תַּעֲרֹג עַל אֲפִיקֵי מָיִם כֵּן נַפְשִׁי תַעֲרֹג אֵלֶיךָ אֱלֹהִים
The day you passed away is still fresh in my mind. Even more so than I’d like it to be. I woke up to dozen of text messages from our friends. Some of them were were followed by a period and others by a question mark. “Did Vinny die?” “Vinny died last night.” “Sam, Vinny died last night”. In a state of shock I checked your Facebook page. It was true, you were really gone. I began to confirm for those who sent me text with question marks and I began to share my disbelief with those who already knew the truth.
At your funeral, I cried mostly because I imagined the pain you suffered when you died. I imagine your car hitting that stonewall and your friends being unable to save you. I imagine their guilt for not being able to rescue you from the flames. I hear your mother’s cries as clear as day and I still hear your cousin trying to keep it together during his speech. I remember standing there regretting that I showed up. I remember crying in our friends arms because no ceremony was going to take this pain away.
Vin, I’ve never lost a person so young before. You were one of the first people I met in college, I thought you were so odd. You always had a smile on your face and you were always a sweetheart. When you decided to live off campus we all missed you like crazy. I was so happy that spring semester when I found you in the library every morning before class. I still have our stupid text.
You broke our hearts buddy.. I just wish you had the chance to live. You were a beautiful soul that deserved to flourish. You touched so many of us. You’ve also taught us so much. That day,the day you died.. We told each other I love yous and made promises never meant to be broken. I love you Vinny. I wish you were here.
Sincerely,
Samantha

Now, why the Filipino donut? In the book there are a few Filipino characters: a boy who delivers the detective his lumpia, housemaids, a chauffer, hired thugs and the one who owns a donut coffee shop called Mabuhay Donuts. He is a 70-year old Filipino ex-boxer who is a valuable ‘informant’ to the detective.
Pages 172 - 173:
The Filipino-style Chinese donut, or shtekeleh, is the great contribution of the District of Sitka to the food lovers of the world. In its present form, it cannot be found in the Philippines. No Chinese trencherman would recognize it as the fruit of his native fry kettles. Like the storm god Yahweh of Sumeria, the shtekeleh was not invented by the Jews, but the world would sport neither God nor the shtekeleh without Jews and their desires. A panatela of fried dough, not quite sweet, not quite salty, rolled in sugar, crisp-skinned, tender inside, and honeycombed with air pockets. You sink it in your paper cup of milky tea and close your eyes, and for ten fat seconds, you seem to glimpse the possibility of finer things.
The hidden master of the Filipino-style Chinese donut is Benito Taganes, proprietor and king of the bubbling vats of Mabuhay, dark, cramped, invisible from the street, stays open all night long. It drains the bars and the cafés after hours, concentrates the wicked and the guilty along its chipped formica counter, and thrumps with the gossip of criminals, policemen, shtarkers and shlemiels, whores and night owls. With the fat applauding in the fryers, the exhaust fans roaring, and the boom box blasting the heartsick kundimans of Benito’s Manila childhood, the clientele makes free with their service. A golden mist of kosher oil hangs in the air and baffles the senses. Who could overhear with ears full of KosherFry and the wailing of Diomedes Maturan? But Benito Taganes overhears, and he remembers. Benito could draw you a family tree for Alexei Lebed, the chieftain of the Russian mob, only on it you would find not grandparents and nieces but bagmen, bump-offs, and offshore bank accounts. He could sing kundimans of wives who remain loyal to their imprisoned husbands and husbands doing time because their wives dropped dimes on them.

Moshe Wolfson: In the Machaneh Yisra’el ~ the midbar ~ we have the 600,000 Yidden under the Annanei Kavod, which is the Machaneh, and there were some unfortunate Yidden who were evicted from the Machaneh. Those were the Bnoi Dan. The Machaneh rejected them. They were spat out from the Machaneh. Being that they weren’t under the protection of the Annanei Kavod, Amalek came and waged War with them. Moshe was told, "Go out of the Machaneh! Go out of the Annanei Kavod! And go protect those Bene Dan!"
