In Genesis 11: 31 it stats " and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans". According to Theologians Ur was a city in the east of Babylon, so Abraham came from Babylon, which is modern days Iraq. God told Abraham to go to Canaan ( Genesis 12: 1), which is modern day Palestine.
Abraham's grandson, Jacob, wrestled with God and Jacob's name was changed to Israel, which means "He who struggles with God". God told Jacob in Genesis 46: 3 that he would make Jacob a great nation. Jacob eventually became the founder of the Israelites because God said he would become a great nation.
So Abraham was a Babylonian and through him came Jacob, who founded the Israelites and that means that the Israelites have the same blood line as the Babylonians through Abraham.

AnswerThe Israelites were a West Semitic people, closely related to the Canaanites, Aramites and other neighbours. From about 2200 BCE, the early Babylonians were also Semitic, but not a West Semitic People. The Chaldeans, often called Babylonians, were Southern Semitic, or Arabian, people who settled near Babylon in the eighth century BCE. So, the Babylonians were ethnically close to the Israelites, but not as much so as the people of Aram, Edom or Moab, and other close neighbours of Israel.
Habakkuk was inquiring from God why He sent Babylonians in order to enslave the Israelites and why it would take so long.God answered him that it was necessary to send one of the most wicked people on earth-the Babylonians in order to discipline the wayward Israelites but He also added that He would pass His judgement on the Babylonians even more severely after they served as an instrument of God's corrective action against Israelites because they deserved it due to their wicked ways.As a response to this Habakkuk said that:"The just will live by faith.",meaning that the Israelities will endure their punishment patiently aware that they deserved it and in conviction that it will all pass in due time.
Ezekiel was a prophet of the true God. Daniel was a prophet serving when the Israelites were in exile in Babylon and he was given a position in the King's household.
