Khazar Jewry is not a myth.  Even today, as restant of Khazars, there are thousands of Turkish Jews, living in Crimea  and elswhere.  They are known there as the Krymchak and Karaite community.

Arthur Koestler caused a stir with his book 'The thirteenth tribe', the Ashkenazi Jews are descended from the Khazars, a Turkic people who converted to Judaism a thousand years ago

According to royal genealogies, Bulan converted taking the Hebrew name Gabriel (Sabriel in the local  idiom). He reinforced his new identity by importing a Jewish wife Serakh from the exile community of Babylon, and brought in Semitic Jewish spouses for the nobles he encouraged/ordered to convert, along with teacher and probably the Hebrew-fluent secretary you have trouble accepting.  About 300 years later, one of their descendants became king of Gruzhin/Georgia in the Bagratun dynasty, which continues until today.

He denies the hypothesis for political reasons

Hello esau and khazar. How are you?

So basically he's saying it was impossible for a Turkic khazar to smart enough to convert to Judaism? Explain their last 7 kings with Hebrew names.

please read Ilan Pappe , he is an Israeli Professor of Israeli history and talks about the Khazars as converting to Judaism for politico social reasons, Khazar being in between mighty Islamic and Christian regions. There were many conversions to Judaism in N. Africa , usually due to the fact that Judaic traders would give special deals to converts. As in Judaism embraced converts in the past . One should not insist upon all Jews being descendants of David et al. This concept of a chosen race is perhaps a valid definition of racism and the cultural phenomena of fascism.

This professor should evaluate the letter sent by medieval Persian Jews to those who claim jewish community in Baltic region and Belarusia. The writer, which represents Bukhara Jewish community, the Bukharan Jews preserve their identity in a very orthodox way, Suprisingly asked slavic jew about their identity based on genealogy "which tribe are your community belong to?" The answer had only became a topic of refutation from the Jews of Bukhara.

Everyone go back and read Deutoronomy 28 and it will point to who the Hebrews are today. We only have the concept of Judsidm due to conversion of groups who were not Hebrews and decendents of Shem. To the chosen ones, it was simply a way of life due to their covenant and charge to be the priests of the world.

Never have I seen such academic "rope-a-dope". The evidence is there Sir, whether or not you like it. 🕎🐉

Israeli-born geneticist Dr. According to Eran Elhaik latest genetic research, today's Israelis are descended from the Khazar Turks, not from the Middle East.

Ashkenazi are converts. And it's drives them mental that people know.

He starts his argument with a ridiculously sarcastic theory intended to mock the Khazar theory.
Sarcasm is a fallback when facts and intelligence are absent.

Tell us you're a khazar without saying

This is historically very true, although it is not convenient to some tribes no one can change the history!!!

Ohh There are Khazar Jewish symbols as archaeological remains, menorah and similar, in Serbia (Vojvodina), from 8th, 9th century.

They just sow doubt on history instead of proving their own…
