I think it is really your responsibility to show that they are references to the Hebrews, and only the Hebrews. You have made that claim, but the only source you seem to have says that the name could apply to any or all of several peoples.

I have to agree with Daffy here. Rather than simply providing one or more references that would disprove the statement, you are arguing against her claim there was such a statement and insisting that she prove the statement exists. That is a debate tactic not really suitable for a scientific discussion.

Can you provide references that would disprove the statement, whether it was ever made or not?
