There is a school of thought within Judaism that those of the northern tribes, ie the House of Ephraim, migrated to the north and west when Assyria was defeated by the Babylonians. Much of the northern tribes became the Celtic peoples. But then it is also taught that descendants of Essua (Edom) also were pushed out of the middle east at that time. They became what we now call the Italian and Germanic peoples.
Given that much of the Muslim world are descendants of the other six sons of Abraham, it has been calculated that 3/5ths of the world's population are now descendants of Abraham. http://www.britam.org/
BTW, there have been perversions of this with Anglo-Israelism and Gardner Ted Amstrong. They took what the rabbis have been researching and twisted it.
In the end much of these fights are merely one branch of the family fighting another branch.
