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.

Bnei Bilhah are of an ancient origin. In the Hebrew migratory tradition begun more than two millennia ago, an Israeli remnant migrated into Africa with many Danites from Northeast Africa migrating back to their tribal allocations in Israel, such as Tel Aviv, besides emerging Naphtalite communities throughout Mainland Africa, including Levitical Islanders from Haiti, Jamaica, Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and Australia, as well as a Mixed Multitude comprising the African Diaspora from the United States of America settling Southwest of the Sea of Galilee.

Justice for Bilhah and Zilpah By Joel H. Cohen

4 News: On the third floor is Raheem, a young man who fled war in Sudan to come to Israel.
4 News: Firm estimates are hard to come by but it’s thought there are 250,000 foreigners living in Israel. In addition to this, there are 135,000 Ethiopian Jews in Israel. The majority of those live in Tel Aviv 
The 1990s saw waves of immigration from the Philippines and Ethiopia: the former a traditional migration of people seeking better economic opportunities and work in the healthcare sector, the latter as part of a huge airlift operation to rescue Ethiopian Jews out of Addis Ababa during civil war. 
Both groups have stayed in large numbers in Israel but have suffered problems. Ethiopian Jews suffer from widespread racism on a daily basis while Filipinos struggle to gain full citizenship rights from the Jewish state.
David Katz: how do we get a ger head count? can everyone just raise their hands, or how does this work? the curiosity killed the kat[z] it seems though so far so good. let's hope the new government here can somehow become openly pro-ger. i think, extracting shevatim yisra'el ~ emphasis on Greater Israeli tribal designation, respectively ~ should be a prerequisite for an official census, don't you, David? further, in lieu of the absence of proper korbanot, it appears an official census would only be necessary were Global Regional War on the horizon:

Burton Richardson: There's a lot of setting up. There are a lot of tricks they use to Get past that shield.



Jon Entine: Not only did they [Lemba] show Kohanim markers, more than 60-65% of [the Lemba Priesthood] have the same Kohanim marker that is found in less of a percentage — 55% — of American and European Jews. On the male line, [Lemba Priests] are more Kohanim, more coherently and consistently Jewish than American Jews or European Jews. It's absolutely remarkable. On that one line that we could trace, right now — the Y-chromosomal line — the male surname line of [Lemba] are almost certainly descendant from the Semites. Zimbabwe was named after 'The Great Zimbabwe': ‎The Great Zimbabwe was certainly built by Jews. 
William Sanchez: Hi, this is Bill Sanchez.
DNA expert: Mr. Sanchez, I don't usually call people up, but when we got some of the data from you, it was pretty interesting, so we decided that we'd give you a call. Do you know that you might be descendant from Priests?
William Sanchez [laughs]: Yah, it makes sense. I am a priest.
Stunned Silence.
DNA expert: You're a Priest?
William Sanchez: Absolutely!
DNA expert: Om, well, I don't mean a Catholic priest. I meant Jewish Priest.

Jon Entine: Nearly half of the 70 family members of William Sanchez were found to be embedded with the J-1 or J, which definitely marks them of Semitic ancestry. Many of them have direct ancestry that probably indicates that they are Kohanim. ‎A half a dozen of Sanchez's cousins have begun the formal process of conversion to Judaism or are just openly declaring themselves Jews recognizing that, under Jewish Law, they are not considered kosher Kohanim and this is absolutely startling.
Irwin and Elaine Berg: Trefor Jenkins showed that 50 percent of the Lemba Y chromosomes were Semitic in origin. DNA tests of Jewish Cohanim, or descendants of the Israelite priestly class, show that over 50 percent have a specific marker known as the Cohen Modal Haplotype. CMH was found in more than 50 percent of the Buba clan. According to Lemba tradition, a male named Buba was the founder of the Buba priestly clan. It appears that Buba was a Cohen. Many find the idea that they must convert before they are accepted as Jews insulting. There is considerable discussion among them over whether they should accept conversion.

||the God of Bilhah||

Ken Cohen: we have absolutely no indication, and no tradition, of what the religious beliefs of Bilhah and Zilpah were, or which deity or deities they worshipped.

betsy teutsch: Some of the rejection of Bilhah and Zilpah is due to class and race issues. Bilhah and Zilpah should not be treated merely as objects (wombs/surrogates) but as putting their lives on the line for Israel in enduring pregnancies for the propagation of the tribes. Bringing the rare practice of including B&Z enhances pluralism. Inclusion of Bilhah and Zilpah as equals with Rachel &Leah is a way of retroactively treating them justly as mothers.
