The Holy Bible doesn't just go wandering off into the genealogy of every jew
it bumps into. Mordecai is the notable exception. The Holy Bible doesn't
even have this much biographical information on many of the Twelve
Disciples, who were Israelites, and far more important than some far-away
jew in Babylon who cheated his way to the top, LIED to the emperor, and
KILLED tens of thousands of his "enemy" (many of whom were Benjamites and
other Israelites).
This genealogy of Mordecai was listed in order to make the point that
Israelites in Babylon had miscegenated with jews, and to point out how
tragic such miscegenation is.
We understand that in order for you to claim that jews were Israelites, and
to conceal the role of jews in KILLING millions of Israelites, you need
desperately to make it appear that Mordecai was a Benjamite.
But Mordecai was not a Benjamite.
And he was not an Israelite.
Mordecai was a *descendant* of a Benjamite, Kish.
Because he was a *jew*, by definition, he could not be an Israelite. At
least one of his 8 great-grandparents had to have been a jew in order for
Mordecai himself to be a jew, and that means he could not have been an
Israelite.
