[quote=General Sherman;6120362][quote=-The Patriot-;6120347]     The Khazars were a people of Turkish extraction who converted to Judaism during the Dark Ages. They were a small population who scattered to the four winds after the Russians invaded and defeated them. Anybody who thinks they can trace their ancestry to the Khazars is crazy.  The book The Thirteenth Tribe is pure speculation and fantasy.  The title is based on a common error. The Twelve Tribes of Israel were Hebrews, not Khazars. Not all Jews are descended from Hebrews.   The Khazars poured into Eastern Europe, over the years mixed with Whites and some Jews who actually were descended from the ancient Judeans who came into Europa during the days of the Roman and Byzantine empire, now we have the Ashkenazi, who we all love and adore so much. You know it's true ;) lol@Ashkenazi being purely descended from the ancient Judeans. They're Khazar/White mongrels, a few of the lucky ones have retained a bit of real Judean ancestry. A Jewish-Israeli professor recently wrote a best selling book about just that. About the myth/invention of the Jewish people , can't remember the name at the moment, don't worry I'll remember later.    Why do you think so many of the Ashkenazi have those squinty, beady, lazy little Jew eyes? That's the Mongoloid/Turkic DNA from their Khazar ancestors.:D
