yes, but the "problem" is
That the Muslims view themsleves as the "real" Israelites, while the Jews, Banu Israel, are punished for not following Islam (and other sins) by losing this right - see Surat Baqqara - the cow) Yes, there was an idiot (I think from YOSH college in Ariel) who published a "research" saying that all we have to do is show them that the land was promised to the Sons of Israel. The thing is, as he probably forgot from his first year, that in theology, their interpretation is that they are the real and reformed (from their sins) Banu Israel. We are just Dhamis.
