Balanced Essay on Jews and Kazars (worth reading)

Just for the record, which is pretty interesting.

Default it's a common phenomenon

Someone famous once said national/ethnic pride was a mistaken set of assumptions about one's ancestry. We're all likely confused:

The Japanese tend to look down on Koreans, despite massive amounts of Korean DNA in Japan's gene pool.

Europe? Hell, there have been dark skinned Romans, some part Etruscan (an older people of Italy) roaming around that continent. And Asiatic hordes. The round faced Welsh. And no body is sure how the Finns got a language related to none but Turkish.

Native Americans? Lots of people think Middle Easterners and Africans floated over to the New World in pre-historic times. See Barry Fells book, America B.C.

So, forgive them Jews.

Me, I have nothin against racial purity dreams. It's hard to do, as no one can resist a beautiful woman, whatever color she is.

Just look at your relatives! (This is the way to cure a racist!) Who loves all their relatives? I just e-mailed a distant cousin awhile back. Her and my ancestors helped settle the West. Ya know what? She wouldn't even respond. Makes me wanna say, "Damn white people!", though I'm one myself.

To sum up, yea, -some- Jews are not Semitic. But, lotsa people are confused. Remember, the Nazis would have considered most white Americans degenerates or hybrids.

Isn't there a "Racist Rants" forum?

On second thought, that map looks mighty tempting. I mean, Khazaria is much bigger than Israel! And I think there may be oil there! Can we really have it?

Put the Borscht on the stove, mama -- I'm comin' home!

Finnish is related to Estonian and Hungarian (Uralian languages), not Turskish, as I recall.

I'm reminded of the SCTV skit where Rick Moranis responded to a bunch of anti-Semitic taunts with scripted replies that all began with, "Hey! Hoodlum!"

"Hey! Hoodlum! Why don't you go put a tree in your living room?"

Ancient Jewish joke. I've heard it credited to Ben Gurion:

God, we're your chosen people. You took us out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You took us dry shod across the Red Sea and drowned Pharoah's army. You gave us the law at Mt. Sinai. You sustained us through 40 years in the wilderness.

So why did you drop us in the only place in the Middle East with no oil?

I personally, thinking about the Kazars, love to contemplate the vision of Jewish Cossacks riding across the steppes. Wasn't there a guy from around there, Jewish guy, Genghis Kahn?

Seymour Kahn, an itinerant 12th/13th century spice merchant, was known to his friends as "Gingi" for his flaming red hair. The Mongolians were unable to pronounce "Gingi" and called him "Genghis" instead, which means "hook-nosed thief from Khazaria" in the local dialect. One day in 1190, an advisor told Kahn that there was a sale on yarmulkes in northern China. The rest, as they say, is history.

Nota bene: Kahn beat Marco Polo to the Orient by at least 75 years.

Of course! Anyone who wants can have all the free oil they want. That's just the way it works. Isn't it wonderful?
