I feel like a lot of people act as if the ancient Israelites are an extinct culture when we (Jews and Samaritans) are literally still here. Jews and Samaritans didn't "replace" the Israelites, but are a continuation of that culture.

And I think the idea that the ancient Israelites are an extinct culture feeds the supercessionist mindset of the general population with regards to claims on religious texts and practices, indigenaity of Jews and even Jewish identity itself.

Regarding that second bit, I want to "yes, and" it, because that's exactly what is foundational to beliefs as disparate as Islamism to Black Hebrew Israelites to British Israelism to the Mormons and more:

The Jews aren't the "real Jews", and they are, and these groups all hate Jews to greater or lesser degrees out of resentment that we won't lie down and die so they can take our heritage and history for themselves.

“An intelligent following of custom, or even occasionally an intelligent deviation from custom, is better than a blind and simply mechanical adhesion to it.”
