Your "Welsh post" examples are from the 200-to-300-years-ago wishful thinking period. People with no idea of how to do a study read through text after text looking for passages in Welsh and Hebrew that looked roughly parallel.
If you do that, you will find some, sooner or later. Thing is, if you haven't done that for a whole bunch of potential language pairs, you don't know what it means when you have to read N-thousand sentences to find 12 parallels. You have no calibration, no baseline. People got some hits and got excited.
When we really started doing comparative linguistics, though, the real relationships were not what the early wishful thinkers had trumpeted.

Entire phrases are coincidences? LOL

Coincidences, coincidences. The world is just chock full of these coincidences. LOL
