Further proof that Keith Woods is a controlled op.
The article does not refute the Khazar origin. It simply examines from a few select angle.
See far more proof of Khazar origin from their genetic diseases and Chinese history.
It is knit w blood, not religion.
5 reasons why they are Khazars 👇
1. Genetics
It is endorsed by Israeli geneticist Eran Elhaik and 23&me. Also:
The genetic diseases of Ashkenazis point to bottlenecking of 600-800 years ago, and not further back,
which ties neatly with the fall of Khazaria, and is not compatible with consanguinity from fall of 2nd temple.
Khazars sat on the trade route and were polyethnic, who mixed their Turkic genes with those of Iran, Balkans, Syria and Lower Volga,
which also explains why they had not inbred out of existence, but w just above average schizophrenia and depression.
Fact is many groups along the Mediterranean possess JHg, from Mediterranean to India, but this would not make them all Levant. (Aramaic is a language, not a gene.)
MiroCyo, researcher that specializes in bronze age Levant genetics, determined that Ashkenazis are too far removed to be of Levant.
2. Language and culture
Israeli linguist Paul Wexler is of the view that Yiddish is Turkic in root.
I would also point out that Klezmer, Jewish music, is Turkic. So is their dress, hat, food, dance … all Turkic.
They even site their houses traditionally as Turkic tribes do.
3. History and Politics
The Han-Tang Chinese split the Ashina tribes from the Altai Mountains into two, and drove one of them West to the Caspian Sea. There they established Khazaria.
Ashina is the blue tribe,
Just like the Ashkenazis.
The Chinese documented them. They called their chiefs
“COHEN,” a Turkic title. Not Emir, not shah.
They have dual systems of priest and chief, carried over to Khazaria (see Israeli historian, Shlomo Sand).
The dual system was evident in their Noahide Bolshevik system: one guidance counsel paired with one commander at every level.
… Yes, the Bolshevik Jews knew where they came from. They established two autonomous regions for Jews near Caspian, and moved Russian territories into a separate Ukraine, even though, as Putin recounted to Tucker, Crimea was not theirs; neither was Kiev for most part of Khazaria.
In fact, Khazaria was vanquished by the Christian trio of Kiev Russ of Germanic Russ Viking descent, Armenians that dominated Byzantine army and court, and Byzantine Greeks.
Ergo, the extreme obsession of Jews with the Germanics, which included Germanic Scandinavians, N Russian and Baltics, Germans, Saxon British, Dutch … Afrikaners and the Tsars (who descended from Germanic stock). They called the Germanics “Amalek” and the Tsars “Seed of Amalek.”
In other words, White Christians.
They saw Armenians also as Amaleks and Rome too. You can interpret Rome as W Rome, but it could also be E Rome.
Their vengeance is such that some converted to Islam and continued to terrorize pilgrims and circumcised them (not an Islamic custom but a Jewish one). These would include Seljuk, whose father was an ex-Khazar commander.
4. Religion and belief system
Dominant belief of Turkic tribes of the Altai Mountains is shamanism, which preaches gender fluidity and reveres intersex.
They practice blood sacrifice (although not human sacrifice), and bind threads.
Burnt Offering, animals and meat fed to fire, is a big part of religious ceremony.
They bind threads on bodies to ward off evil spirits.
They worship multiple gods and goddesses and focus on trance communion with the female energy of Shaknah, which is the deity the rabbis sway their pelvic to make love to.
Khazars, when adopting Judaism, amalgamated their native shamanism with Babylonian religions. But the core is still their own tribe’s.
5. Dispersion Pattern
Hebrew was not resurrected until the 11th century. This runs counter to the continuity of Judean-Israelites, but coincides w Khazaria.
(Hebrew was never a language fit for complex thoughts in ancient times. See my highlighted post on origin (and corruption) of Christianity.
Most ritual murders, well poison, and appearances of Tengu, coincided w fall of Khazaria, and cannot be explained w origin in Levant.
