medieval Khazarian DNA, you can let us know. Why the willingness to believe and pass along the canard that Jews aren't REALLY from the Middle East? Why is there no skepticism about the sources of that lie? Do you know that pushing that notion is an indication to some of us here that you are using anti-Semitic sources? If Ashkenazis were really descended from a Turkish people who converted, their DNA would have something in common with modern people from that area, but they don't. Why do you just assume that an honest effort by Jews to study their own DNA (for other reasons) is automatically suspect when it turns up something you'd rather not hear? Why the eagerness to strip Jews of their own history? Do you do the same to Christians? Shall we ask you why some Native American tribes won't allow scientific access to a body that appears to be an ancient non-Indian (Caucasian? Russian? )found on a reservation? Why are we willing to back down in the face of Native insistance that they have been here since the beginning of time, when there is some evidence that they may have come over the land bridge from Asia? They were still here first. The Apaches, from their Athabascan linguistic roots, show that they swept down from Canada and ended up in the Southwest rather late in the game. Does that make them interlopers who don't belong there?
Be careful about trying to reorder history to your liking; it may bite you.
