British Israelism Wikipedia
British Israelism (also called Anglo-Israelism) is the belief that people of Western European descent, particularly those in Great Britain, are the direct lineal descendants of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The concept often includes the belief that the British Royal Family is directly descended from the line of King David.

Bill Cooper also has a few episodes of "Hour of the Time" devoted to debunking British Israelism/Christian Identity here. *Disclaimer* I do not agree with all of Cooper's research!
I have transcribed a portion of one of the shows as follows:
None of this British Israelism stuff ever surfaced in the entire history of the world until King Henry 8 wanted to divorce his wife and found out that the Pope would not let him. So, King Henry 8 divorced all of England and himself from the catholic church, from the pope, founded the Anglican church, and then it became necessary to justify his actions to the world, to the English people in specific and to be able to make it stick. Somewhere down the line, the royal house of England invented a family tree connecting them directly by descendants to the royal house of David and thus to the Old Testament the lineage of the divine right to rule, or so they claim. Later, they claimed that all of England, not just the royal house, this came later folks, all of England were the descendants of the 10 lost tribes of Israel, which according to the bible were never lost at all and are not lost today. And that London was the new Jerusalem and then later they extended that to the entire Anglo Saxon race. Cutting off the German peoples claiming that the ancient Aryans were the enemies of the state of Israel or the race of Israel that they have come to make it. And then later, forgot all about that and reabsorbed the Aryan that and now it’s the Aryan Anglo Saxon American people. Discounting the original Native Americans of course. Still from the strategic studies of the executive Intelligence review dated 11/14/97. Although the preconditions for British Israelism were rampant in England, the 1st formal statement of the ideology did not occur until the seventeen nineties when Richard Brothers, a royal navy officer, who had fought against America in the revolutionary war, began to write that England was not just theoretically the new Jerusalem but that the English people themselves were descended from the lost tribes of Israel and that they must restore the temple in Palestine. The time for such theory was not right and Brothers was suspected of being a radical that was ultimately confined to an insane asylum. (omitted opinion) Around 1840, however, a decision was made somewhere at the colonial office at the East India Company headquarters to revive sarky’s (sp) old method of manipulation and the next few years would see the rise of two interrelated cults which would become a major weapon in British foreign policy. First, Irish clergyman, John Nelson Darby started publishing texts which he claimed decoded the secrets of the Bible and prophetically laid out the fast approaching apocalypse. Darby’s theories which we today call pre-millennium dispensationalism have several striking components. #1 the millennial kingdom of Christ will sweep away all civilization and the only people saved will be a tiny group of elect who will be raptured physically into the new kingdom. #2 the evil power in the world is Gog as identified in Ezekiel who will sweep down on Israel and begin the end of days. Darby confidently identified Gog as Russia. #3 the end will come only after the scripture is fulfilled and the Jews return to Israel and build the temple. How did the state of Israel come into existence ladies and gentlemen? Check your history. Although simultaneously, one John Wilson picked up the theories of Richard Brothers and published lectures on our Israelitish origin in 1840 claiming also on the evidence of Biblical secret knowledge that the 10 tribes migrated to Europe after the destruction of the 2nd temple primarily turning into Christian Englishmen and Germans. The racially inferior tribes of Judah, says Wilson, remained in Palestine and became the modern Jews… and today they say the Jews that call themselves Jews today and speak Hebrew and practice the religious ceremonies and holidays are not Jews at all. They’re not even from the tribe of Judah. (omitted). They’re really from some weird tribe in the mountains of what used to be called the old Soviet Union (this is what the British Israelites say) Tazars (sp) is the name. The British Israelites claim there are no real Jews alive today. (omitted) And then the Kazars (sp) are the real descendants of the real Israelites and the real 10 tribes that are of the race of Shemites or Semites, which include the Arab people also.
So we went from their teaching that the racially inferior tribes of Judah remained in Palestine and became the modern Jews. That flies in the face of everything they said. Because if you studied the Middle East, then you’d know that the State of Israel was not that ruled by the house of David. The house of David was of the tribe of Judah. The house of David and the tribe of Judah warred against and conquered the state of Israel. That’s the true history of the region. Yet these people claim that they have the divine right to rule and that they are superior race to all of the people because they are descended from the House of David and the original Hebrew race from the ancient country of Israel which wasn’t a country that encompassed all of the 10 tribes of Israel. There were several small countries. The most powerful of which emerged from the tribe of Judah and conquered all the rest under the house of David. (omitted) Both of these bizarre theories were sponsored by the British oligarchy because they exactly fit the crown’s policy requirements. Darby’s identification of Russia would be crucial to drumming up support for the war against the country, which the British would shortly provoke in the Crimea. Wilson’s biblically sanctioned friendship with the German’s was also British policy. The fraud of the whole thing was exposed when slightly later, British foreign policy turned against the Germans. Immediately, Wilson’s organization was factionalized and it was discovered by the winning faction that the German’s were actually the racial heirs of the Assyrians, the ancient enemy of Israel and therefore the enemy of British Israel. The Germans, of course, have always claimed descendency from what they call the Aryans of India. Actually, it was a term that was invented by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. And both Darbyites and the British Israelites provided invaluable assistance in firmly turning the attention of the British population to Palestine and the need for the rebuilding of the temple. Timing was crucial. In 1840, brutish foreign secretary Lord Palmerstone had unofficially committed the British Empire to Zionism. That’s no secret. I’ve been telling you that for many many years. And the creation of a British controlled entity in Palestine. And that, folks, is the real secret to the creation of the state of Israel in the Middle East. On the one hand, Britain needed to ensure that the increasing chaos in the Ottoman Empire did not invite other great powers from developing influence there. On the other, it needed to protect the land groups to India and its growing colonial empire. It also would give people who believe in the prophecies in the Bible and the book of Revelation the belief that prophecy was being fulfilled and would further elevate the British Israelites as the superior or master race in the world. This became official policy in 1845 with a colonial office report proposing “the establishment of a Jewish nation in Palestine as a protected state under the guardianship of Great Britain.” Such a state, the report concluded, “would place us in a commanding position in the Levant from whence to check the process of encroachment to overall our enemies and, if necessary, impair their advance.”

The crown’s case officer for this project was Anthony Ashley Cooper, the 7th Earl Shaftsbury (sp), a pious oligarch who combined aspects of both the Darbyites and the British Israelites, cleaned them up for general consumption and became the leading spokesperson for a plan to resettle Jews back in Israel. Shaftsbury high-church version of British Israelism as well as the various low church versions grew through the 19th Century. Queen Victoria’s daughter, Princess Alice, became a patroness of the movement. In 1862, the Prince of Wales and future King Edward VII made a tour of the holy land. The first English royal to set foot there since 1270. In 1865, Shaftsbury’s efforts came to fruition with the founding of the Palestine exploration fund under the official patronage of the queen. The PEF brought together funding from the Rothschilds and the United Grand Lodge of Freemasons. Membership ranged from oligarchs to apocalyptic crazies. And again, religion made a great cover for espionage.
