"Judaism is one, denominations are many" (Jewish Almanac, 1980, p. 504).
Now there are at least two denominations claiming to be REAL JEWS. As a
matter of fact I was talking to a very semitic-looking Jew at Missions
Fest 2000 this year in Vancouver. He had a display booth. He said he
wasn't from "Jews For Jesus" but he too believed he was 100% Jewish and
100% Christian so I suppose he was another denomination again. Judging
from the phenotype I would say genetically he would be as much a
"semite" as Barak, Khadaffy or Hussein. So let's put biology aside
here. Which denomination has the papal infallibility to excommunicate the
others? Tell us, Rabbi J2.
   Now, Bob Cohen tells me there are "Jewish" Poleys. (They descend from
great, great, great grandpa Shlomo Poley who wrote the Protocols of the
Learned Elder of Zion, founded Khazar University and invented the bagel).
Now if Jesus Christ is King of the Jews, which Poleys should be entitled
to park their asses (and camels) on a patch of sand and fight a perpetual

   Maybe we should ask Khazar University (It has a web site). The "Law of
   Return" is one of the Constitutional documents of Israel. If I remember
   correctly it emphasizes (Anti-Christ) Jewish religion and not biological
   race. I think it says if you have a Jewish mother you are considered to be
   a Jew (one criterion) but only if you haven't converted to another
   religion.
 
  This is right. So far so good Poley.
 
   I suppose some world religions are exempt in practice but not
   Christianity.
 
  Ah, this is the Poley I know and love. WRONG.

 I SUPPOSED that one could, for example be a Taoist and a Jew. But I am
 asking and since you are the expert what is the answer?

The answer is...how does the Taoist Jew raise his/her children? Taoist
or Jew. Do they study Taoism or Judaism? How do they identify
PRIMARILY?

   Thus the Cohen written up in the local BC Christian News
   recently as a convert to Christianity is now excommunicated and does not
   have aliyeh rights. His biology hasn't changed.
 
  But he is no longer a Jew is he ?

 Jews for Jesus said on Larry King recently that they were 100% Jewish and
 100% Christian so it DEPENDS ON WHOSE OPINION YOU SOLICIT.

No it doesn't. The answer is ridiculous. They are Christians BY
DEFINITION.
If you believe that Christ is Lord then you are a Christian. No Jew
believes
that Christ is Lord. No Muslim believes that Christ is Lord. No Hindu
either.
Only Christians believe that Christ is Lord. What is so complicated
about
this? Jews for Jesus is a lie. I am a Jew for Jesus. They are jewish
converts
to Christianity.

 Or are the
 rabbis of New Khazaria (Israel) saying they have papal infallibility with
 respect to their ecommunications?

Cut the Khazaria shit Poley. It's over. It was a stupid ploy to begin
with.

  The right of return is only for Jews
  in the Jewish State. This isn't too difficult to comprehend is it?

 It is very clear as long as there is no controversy as to which
 self-professed Jews are the REAL McCOYS, so to speak.

Cut the REAL McCOYS shit Poley. It's over. The Jews are who they say
they are
and it is now genetically indisputable. Deal with it.

   These Jews for Jesus are
   Pro-Christ Jews by their self-description but they are rejected by the
   Anti-Christ Jews.
 
  Jews for Jesus ARE NOT JEWS. They are Christians by definition. They
  believe that Jesus is god. This is ONLY a Christian belief.

 But THEIR definition does not prevent them from also being Christians. Why
 is your definition the only right one?

What are you talking about? They ARE Christians. If they also claim to
be
purple toads, that doesn't make them so. There is still reality to
contend
with. No Jew on the planet considers Jews for Jesus to be Jews. Who
else
should make that determination? You?

   This is because the teachings of Christ are regarded
   as BLASPHEMY by the Israeli Establishment.
 
  Ah, now we get into Poleyisms. Fasten your seat belts we are leaving
  reality.

 Why do you think the Sanhedrin was party to the crucifixion of Christ
 2,000 years ago? The crime was BLASPHEMY...that man could say that God
 spoke through him.

That gospel story is phony. All of the details are unhistorical.

  The Israeli Establishment is non religious and doesn't give a shit
  about the teachings of Christ.

 If that were true they would have no difficuly with "Jews for Jesus".

What difficulty do they have with JfJ? None. They are no problem at
all.

  They do however fund and execute many
  archaeological projects and studies which focus on first century
  Jewish history in Judea and especially around Jerusalem. They are
  particularly interested in a group of revolutionary Jews known as The
  Poor. This group was headed by a devout Jewish leader named Yeshua who
  was crucified by the Romans for insurrection.
 
 And the Sanhedrin had no part in this?

No one knows because there is no historical reference to Jesus.

  After his death, the movement was led by his brother James, and his
  chief disciple " Peter " who was a known revolutionary.
 
   "God CANNOT be manifested in a

 Since 1947, he has been at the forefront in the struggle for a balanced US

 On December 18, 1993 Dr. Lilienthal celebrated both his 80th birthday and the
 40th anniversary of his first book, What Price 'Israel'? Dr Lilienthal, who
 is a courageous anti-Zionist Jew, was joined by more than 200 guests who
 travelled from all over the United States to attend. The following excerpt is
 taken from this first book, What Price 'Israel'?

 

 Today, to trace anyone's descent to ancient Palestine would be a genealogical
 impossibility; and to presume, axiomatically, such a descent for Jews, alone
 among all human groups, is an assumption of purely fictional significance.
 Most everybody in the Western world could stake out some claim of Palestinian
 descent if genealogical records could be established for two-thousand years.
 And there are, indeed, people who, though not by the widest stretch of
 imagination Jewish, proudly make that very claim: some of the oldest of the
 South's aristocratic families play a game of comparing whose lineage goes
 farther back into 'Israel'. No one knows what happened to the Ten Lost Tribes
 of 'Israel', but to speculate on who might be who is a favored Anglo-Saxon
 pastime, and Queen Victoria belonged to an 'Israelite' Society that traced
 the ancestry of its membership back to those lost tribes.

 Twelve tribes started in Canaan about thirty-five centuries ago; and not only
 that ten of them disappeared - more than half of the members of the remaining
 two tribes never returned from their "exile" in Babylon. How then, can
 anybody claim to descend directly from that relatively small community which
 inhabited the Holy Land at the time of Abraham's Covenant with God?

 The Jewish racial myth flows from the fact that the words Hebrew,
 'Israelite', Jew, Judaism, and the Jewish people have been used synonymously
 to suggest a historic continuity. But this is a misuse. These words refer to
 different groups of people with varying ways of life in different periods in
 history. Hebrew is a term correctly applied to the period from the beginning
 of Biblical history to the settling in Canaan. 'Israelite' refers correctly
 to the members of the twelve tribes of 'Israel'. The name Yehudi or Jew is
 used in the Old Testament to designate members of the tribe of Judah,
 descendants of the fourth son of Jacob, as well as to denote citizens of the
 Kingdom of Judah, particularly at the time of Jeremiah and under the Persian

 Maybe we should ask Khazar University (It has a web site). The "Law of
 Return" is one of the Constitutional documents of Israel. If I remember
 correctly it emphasizes (Anti-Christ) Jewish religion and not biological
 race. I think it says if you have a Jewish mother you are considered to be
 a Jew (one criterion) but only if you haven't converted to another
 religion. I suppose some world religions are exempt in practice but not
 Christianity. Thus the Cohen written up in the local BC Christian News
 recently as a convert to Christianity is now excommunicated and does not
 have aliyeh rights. His biology hasn't changed. These Jews for Jesus are
 Pro-Christ Jews by their self-description but they are rejected by the
 Anti-Christ Jews. This is because the teachings of Christ are regarded
 as BLASPHEMY by the Israeli Establishment. "God CANNOT be manifested in a
 human being" is the succint explanation I think. However, I have yet to
 encounter a rabbi on the Internet who could defend such a theology. If you
 find one put him on.

Ah, this is the Poley I know and love. WRONG.

 Thus the Cohen written up in the local BC Christian News
 recently as a convert to Christianity is now excommunicated and does not
 have aliyeh rights. His biology hasn't changed.

But he is no longer a Jew is he ? The right of return is only for Jews
in the Jewish State. This isn't too difficult to comprehend is it?

 These Jews for Jesus are
 Pro-Christ Jews by their self-description but they are rejected by the
 Anti-Christ Jews.

Jews for Jesus ARE NOT JEWS. They are Christians by definition. They
believe that Jesus is god. This is ONLY a Christian belief.

 This is because the teachings of Christ are regarded
 as BLASPHEMY by the Israeli Establishment.

Ah, now we get into Poleyisms. Fasten your seat belts we are leaving
reality.

The Israeli Establishment is non religious and doesn't give a shit
about the teachings of Christ. They do however fund and execute many
archaeological projects and studies which focus on first century
Jewish history in Judea and especially around Jerusalem. They are
particularly interested in a group of revolutionary Jews known as The
Poor. This group was headed by a devout Jewish leader named Yeshua who
was crucified by the Romans for insurrection.

After his death, the movement was led by his brother James, and his
chief disciple " Peter " who was a known revolutionary.

 "God CANNOT be manifested in a
 human being" is the succint explanation I think.

That is correct. It's called idolatry and is forbidden by Jewish and
Muslim law.

 However, I have yet to
 encounter a rabbi on the Internet who could defend such a theology.

It is what it is and doesn't need to be defended. Deification of
humans
is purely pagan. Paul of Tarsus deified his version of Jesus for the
pagans so that they could worship something "new" but still within a
context which they understood. Hence the Jewish Jesus became the pagan
Christ, a human deity.

 If you

Perhaps the most significant mass conversion to the Judaic faith occurred in
Europe, in the 8th century A.D., and that story of the Khazars (Turko-Finnish
people) is quite pertinent to the establishment of the modern State of
'Israel'. This partly nomadic people, probably related to the Volga Bulgars,
first appeared in Trans-Caucasia in the second century. They settled in what
is now Southern Russia, between the Volga and the Don, and then spread to the
shores of the Black, Caspian and Azov seas. The Kingdom of Khazaria, ruled by
a khagan or khakan fell to Attila the Hun in 448, and to the Muslims in 737.
In between, the Khazars ruled over part of the Bulgarians, conquered the
Crimea, and stretched their kingdom over the Caucasus farther to the
northwest to include Kiev, and eastwards to Derbend. Annual tributes were
levied on the Russian Slavonians of Kiev. The city of Kiev was probably built
by the Khazars. There were Jews in the city and the surrounding area before
the Russian Empire was founded by the Varangians whom the Scandinavian
warriors sometimes called the Russ or Ross (circa 855-863).

 With all the respect to "us"

That statement may get some peoples' ire up but I think it is an assertion
of "IDENTITY" as the British Israel Christians call it. Right or wrong it
is forthright and a challenge to all. Don't Muslims and Christians also
believe they are God's Chosen People? What then is "Culture X" for any one
of these groups or others?

 we are not the kings of this world!

Interesting...sounds like what Jesus Christ, "King of the Jews" said 2,000
years ago. Last year a "Judge Cohen" (retired), Supreme Court of Israel,
said the trial of Jesus was a mis-trial. Alright then, how about a kind of
retrial from Scripture and other historical evidence? I have been on
L-Torah for several years and I still haven't heard one violation of the
Torah which anyone can reasonably attach to Jesus Christ. And the
Traditional Jewish Prayer Book says "Judaism has never called for an
unreasoned faith". The Holy Koran tells us Jesus was born of a virgin,
purged of vanity and wickedness and ascended to Heaven. No violation of
the Torah in that.

 Indeed and unfortunately more than a few of "us" do abuse others,
 exploiting for vain the name of THY LORD. It's an undeniable fact
 that some Orthodox Rabbis in Israel do abuse the name of THY LORD
 for vain, in an attempt to rule others!  :(

 It is to say that am unhappy to deal with those who are against
 anyone because of one's origin, belief or disbelief.

What then do you say of the Sapidi family who are being sent back to
Israel from Vancouver this week? They found their way to Pentecostal
Christianity from Judaism and are afraid of persecution in Israel. The
daughter was born in Canada and so their appeal will be heard in 6 months
time. The Sapidis are, I expect, reasonable people. Can you get them on
Internet, Doron, to make their case?

 You are right! I have NOT spend enough time at your site

 it wasn't worth due to the published citiation you bring. . .

 You may want to rewrite the openning of your outstanding web-site

resemble the Turks. They are black-haired and of two kinds, one called
the
Kara [i.e. "Black"] - Khazars who are swarthy verging on deep black as
if
they were a kind of Hindu, and a white kind [Ak-Khazars], who are
strikingly handsome".
Note the above description says that both  kinds of Khazars had black
hair
though regarding countenance, etc. one was white and the other very
dark.
There were other Khazars who were blond or red-heared:

Al Maghribi said: "As to the Khazars, they are to the north of the
inhabited earth towards the 7th clime, having over their heads the
constellation of the plough. Their land is cold and wet, their eyes
blue,
their hair flowing and predominantly reddish, their bodies large and
their
natures cold. Their general aspect is wild".  Al-Maghribi is here
apparently speaking of another section of the Khazars who lived more to
the
north. These had "predominantly reddish" hair and blue eyes. It was
remarked above that the Khazar White Ugrians were described by the
Chinese
as red-haired, pale-skinned, and green-eyed. The Alans who were closely
associated with the Khazars were described by the Roman historian
Ammianus
Marcelinus as being blonde-haired like all the Scythians according to
him.
Ammianus includes the Agathysoi (Khazars) amongst the Alans. From the
above
it follows that different Khazar and Khazar-linked groups were of
different
types.

The Khazars and Israel.

One version of the letter of King Joseph quoted above said that the
Khazars had a tradition that they were descended from the Tribe of
Simeon.
Eldad HaDani (ca.850 c.e.) wrote that they came from Simeon and
Menasseh.
The Cochin Scroll also says that the Khazars were descended from Simeon
and
Menasseh. The Khazars are identical with The Red Jews. The Lost Ten
Tribes
were called "Red Jews" and were described as all having Red Hair. Red
Hair
in the Middle Ages especially in Germany was considered a negative
characteristic and associated with the Jews and with Judas. The
Anti-Christ
and Judas were depicted as both having red hair and as both coming from
the
Tribe of Dan.  In the whole literature of the Jews in the Medieval
Period
and in that of the Gentiles the Red Jews were identified as descended
from
the Lost Tribes of Israel. There are also Jewish legal rabbinical
Responsa
in which the Khazars are identified as originally of Israelite descent.
At
the peak of their history the Khazars controlled the area of the Don and
Danaper Rivers and these rivers were referred to in Khazar times as
"Sambation" and as "River of Sabt (i.e. "Shabat") and in Jewish legend
both
terms are connected with the Lost Ten Tribes. The Khazars had emerged
from
areas to which the Lost Ten Tribes were exiled or had moved to after
their
exile. The Khazars were related to other groups for whom independent
proofs
show an Israelite origin and so what is pertinent to them is pertinent
also
to the Khazars and vice-versa. The Khazars were linked especially with
the
Tribes of Simeon and Menasseh. They were identical with the
Agathyrsi-proper who derived from the Clan of "Jeezer" son of Gilead son
of
Menasseh (Numbers 26;30). The name transliterated as "Jeezer" ((àéòæø in
Hebrew was probably pronounceable as "Ay-(g)a-zar" and the Agathyrsi
were
also known as "Acatzari", Khazari, and Gazari. Those of the Agathyrsi
(Acatzari) who remained in Scythia eventually formed the nucleus of the
Khazar nation and a tradition exists (related by Eldad HaDani in ca.800
c.e. and by the Cochin Scroll) that the Khazars came from the Tribes of
Simeon and Menasseh. The Picts of Scotland also came from the Agathyrsi.
Amongst the pre-christian Picts and Scottish existed a taboo on pig meat
and on other unclean animals prohibited by the Mosaic code (MacKenzie).
Later in christian times the idea existed that "Jews" or a "Type of Jew"
had settled in Scotland. Similarly the Khazars before their conversion
had
had some kind of notion that they were of Israelite descent and had had
some exposure to Mosaic lore65. The "Jeezer" (i.e. "Ay-g-azar" of
Gilead)
origin of the Picts is consistent with the neighbouring Caledonians
(with
whom the Picts united) being also descended from Gilead and the very
name
Caledonian is derived from Gilead. Elements (such as those of Gilead)
connected with Menasseh dominated Scotland and the west of Britain and
from
these areas later came an overwhelming proportion of the early British
settlers of North America in its formative period.

The Khazars Convert To Judaism.
According to the Russian-Jewish scholar, Abraham Harcavy (Vilna, 1867)
the
Khazars converted to Judaism in about 620 c.e. Other authorities put
this
event more than a hundred years later. The conversion at first was more
or
less a secret and was confined to the king and his co-ruling associate
prince and to the inner aristocracy. Later most of the Khazars-proper
appear to have converted along with some of the Alans and some of the
other
subject peoples most of whom however remained pagan, christian, or
moslem.
The conversion was also done in stages (Polak).. At first they accepted
a
kind of monotheism with Hebraic-type ceremonies which perhaps in
principle
is paralleled by the modern Noachide movement (?). Later they accepted
full-fledged Rabbinical Orthodoxy. The first Khazar king to accept
Judaism
was named Bulan whose name means "unicorn" or "elk" (Altheim, GDH vol.1
p.239). The unicorn was an emblem known from the Sakae region east of
the
Caspian Sea. It is also a symbol of Menasseh.
The conversion of the Khazars to Judaism was preceded by a Disputation
amongst members of different religions. The Jewish poet and philosopher
Yehuda HaLevi (1074-1141), in Spain, wrote a Classical work in defence
of
Judaism using this Disputation as a framework. The book is called "The
Kuzari".

The Khazars at one stage may have held some type of suzerainty over what
is
now Hungary, Poland, and Austria.

The Khazars and The Vikings.
Around the 700s Viking "Varangians" began to penetrate the interior of
Russia. The Varangians were mainly Swedish though the term (in Russian
Chronicles) could also be used to encompass anybody from Scandinavia as
well as Englishman (E.B. 1955, "Russia", Vernadsky). Varangians were
confederated with the Khazars and were the Khazar entity referred to as
the
Varach'an (Warathan) Huns. The Varangians were variously also referred
to
as "Varegos", "Barragos", and "Variag" (Polak p.187, Koestler p.147,
Minorsky p.432).  Their name is derived from the Hebrew "Beriah"
[pronounceable as "Veri-a-g"] which name was given to a son  of Asher
(Genesis 46;17), a son of Ephraim (1-Chronicles 7;23), and a son of
Benjamin (1-Chronicles 8;16).
In ca.800 c.e. a group of Varangians appeared at the Byzantium court.
They
called their king "Chakan" which title is considered to have been that
of
the King of Khazaria (Vernadsky, "The Origins of Russia", p.244ff).  The
title "Chakan" or "Cagan" was originally the Hebrew "COHEN" and means
"priest" or "officiate".
More information concerning the Khazars comes from a letter sent some
time
between 954-961 to Ibn Hasdai who was the Jewish physician and foreign
minister to the muslim king of Cordoba in Spain. The letter is from a
King
Joseph of Khazaria. There are two versions of this letter but both
contain
important information from early sources. From the letter(s) we learn
that:
King Joseph was the 13th king of Khazaria; Previously, in the time of
the
11th monarch, King Benjamin, all the surrounding kings had been at war
against the Khazars except  for the King of the Cossacks and the King of
the Alans.

 By "King of the Cossacks"  the Don Cossacks are intended. The Don
Cossacks were a mixed people amongst whom in historical times were
families
who practised Judaic customs and some who converted to Judaism. These
individuals had the notion that they were descended from Dan son of
Israel
after whom the Don River was named .
The Alans were a people who had lived to the north of the Caspian Sea
then
moved to the Caucasus area and north of it. Previously in the time of
Attilla and before then  (i.e. in the 400s c.e.) a section of the Alans
had
gone westward. They settled in areas of Gaul especially in Brittany and
influenced Norman military tactics (Bachrach). There were also Alans
amongst the Allemans in Alsace and in Suebia. In addition, the name
"Alan"
is found in Scotland both as a personal names and as the name of a Tribe
in
the north. In "The Tribes" the Alans are traced to Elon son of Zebulon.

The letter continues to relate that the Alan monarch marched against
the
enemies of the Khazars and routed them. The King of the Alans had
rendered
assistance since "some of them observed the Torah of the Jews". King
Joseph
himself was married to a daughter of the Alan ruler. Bar Hebraeus had
reported that the Khazars came from the east and settled in "the country
of
the Alans now called Barsalia" meaning an area on the northern shores of
the Black Sea.
The Khazars proper were a small group who obtained a loose uncertain
control over many other nations. The Khazar power was probably always in
frequent fluctuation. The Varangians established themselves in and
around
Kiev where they ruled over the natives. They local

European peoples.

THE KHAZARS: SOME NOTES FOR FURTHER STUDY.

The Khazars were a small but powerful people who once ruled over
portions
of Russia and eastern Europe. They (or at least many of their leaders)
converted to Judaism, were eventually defeated and disappeared. Their
descendants were either assimilated amongst the Jews or became
Sabbath-keeping and other "divergent" christians many (if not most) of
whom
in some way or other migrated to the west and to North America. Other
descendants of the Khazars may be scattered throughout the former area
of
the U.S.S.R. and in different parts of Europe.

THE NUMBERS OF THE KHAZARS WERE NOT GREAT. AN ESTIMATE SAYS THAT THEY
NUMBERED ABOUT 50,000.
It may have been more but it could not have been excessively so.


A knowledge of the Khazars is useful for several reasons. Evidence
exists
that the Khazars were descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel. There is
also proof that they were related to peoples in northwest Europe. It
follows that evidence connecting northwest Europeans to Israel is
strengthened when cognizance is taken of the Israelite ancestry of their
Khazar brothers.

The Khazars and Anti-Semites.
Another reason for studying the Khazars is that anti-Semites and some
assimilationist Jews claim that the present-day Jews came from the
Khazars
who they assume were non-Israelite. Anti-Semites use their notion of the
Khazars to allege that the Jews are impostors and not true descendants
of
Israel. Some "Identity" groups also make this allegation. So do the
Arabs
and some Negro anti-Semites. In the past some assimilationist Jews used
the
Khazar idea to claim that since their ancestors were not in Judah  at a
certain time therefore they were not culpable for whatever the Jews may
or
may not have done to the christian messiah.

There is also an ideaological component some people wanting to present
Judaism as a religion
(more than an hereditary group) and the Khazars as non-Jewish converts
emphasizing the fact
 that Judaism is open to all.

KOESTLER
There was a writer named Arthur Koestler who thought that by showing the
Jews to be descended from the Khazars
the Gentiles would stop hating the Jews since the Khazars were not in
Palestine when Jesus was
there. Koestler read the sources but chose to emphasize those that were
in
line with his goal
and even these were not so  convincing. Even so the book of Koestler
(The
Thirteenth Tribe)
became a best seller and a favorite with anti-semites. The book itself
does
not really prove anything
but anti-semites love it since it purports to show that the Jews are not
really the chosen people
and this is therefore another reason to hate them.
Koestler did not believe in the Bible so he dismissed legends that the
Khazars were descended from the Lost Tribes as fantasies. He was an
atheist
socialist  or agnostic so any other "rational" simplistic explanation
was
preferable to him and to his idealogical goal.

Kostler should have realized that:
There are some types who will hate Jews no matter what.
Some who will always be sympathetic.
Some inbetween who can swing either way.
Even though some of the most vicious haters of the Jewish people have
been
Christians so too
most of the few friends and allies the Jews have had have been those who
believe in the Bible -whether
Christian or not.

The background for some of the ideas about the Khazars also concerns the
Karaites of Russia.

The Khazars and Karaites.
The Khazars ruled over many peoples some of whom were also influenced
by
Hebraising tendencies. In Judaism at that time there were  two main
streams. There were Rabbinical Jews  who parallel the Orthodox Jews of
today. They believed in the Bible and in its interpretation according to
oral tradition. They were homogeneous (and still are) and consistent in
their basic beliefs and practices. They usually managed to reach a
consensus regarding the practical application of Biblical injunctions.
Another group were the Karaites who claimed to believe only in
Scripture.
The Karaites, however, were actually eclectic and widely divergent
amongst
themselves in their interpretation of Scripture. The Karaite movement in

Here is a discussion between various geneticists on the gentic history of
the Jews.
Gentically, various dispersed groups have more in common than with their
gentile hosts.
Thus unless the Khazars were one of the lost tribes(no impossible), the Jews
are descendents of the biblical people, predominantly.

Ironically the same gentic tests also prove that the Jews are not
predominantly semites, but are more closely related to the
armenians.(remember that the middle east was a melting pot of various
peoples. Abrahams was from as mentioned in the bible came from near the
caucus mountains and the gentic ancestry also fits that pattern.

Ken,

Thanks for the note. My problem is that I'm not an expert in the area, so
have to rely on the experts. Of course one cannot do this mindlessly, and
must pay attention to the methodological debates. As I see it, the Cavalli
school holds the high ground, at least for the time being. Also, as you
conclude in your note, selection and drift are probable factors. The point
is that when these are taken into account, not much room is left for
interbreeding. What is interesting with MacDonald's account is that it is
actually compatible with a degree of exogamy. His model has a strong
contingent element and it is an empirical question how much interbreeding
took place in each area.

Frank

Thanks for the informative posting.  I am short-term in the midst of
something else, but I hope to have time to read the sources you provide.
 My only initial reactions are 1) I hesitate to dismiss ABO frequencies
across the board as "selectively determined" when so many potential
selective pressures have been purported to act upon the system and none
are or have been global (or even pan-Old World) in scope; 2) a very
sound explanation for the cline seen in the E=W gradient in the B
allele remains the degree of Mongol "penetration" of the local gene
pools; 3) the movement of genes, memes, etc from NE Africa to the Middle
East is well attested archaeologically and skeletally during the
Neolithic and early Bronze periods at a time not too long prior to the
establishment of the hierarchical and competing later Bronze/Iron Age
systems in the Middle East; so that 4) any greater genetic clustering of
Jews (some exceptions noted) with "Europeans", seems counterintuitive
given the probable genetic origin of the Middle Eastern populations from
which they derive.  This clustering with European must then come from
selection, drift or interbreeding.  But you've given me food for
thought.  Thanks again  -Ken

 I'm working on the concept of ethnicity, and recently reviewed the
evidence
 of Jewish genetic identity. The literature I found (it might not be
 exhaustive) strongly supports Kevin MacDonald's view that traditional
 Judaism is a cultural group strategy that has resulted in the fairly
 rigorous genetic segregation of its members.

 I began my review with the debate triggered by Morton et al.'s (1982)
 target paper. Morton et al.'s results indicated a considerable amount of
 admixture in Jewish populations. Their most effective critic was
 Cavalli-Sforza, who pointed out their fundamental methodological error of
 relying on alleles subject to selection pressure. Here is the relevant
part
 of the review:

 In his commentary on Morton et al., Cavalli-Sforza (1982) criticized
their
 methods, arguing that they had not distinguished between genetic markers
 that are selectively neutral and those that come under selection
pressure.
 In the latter case, gene frequencies of quite diverse populations living
 under the same climatic or disease conditions will rapidly converge in
the
 absence of admixture. For example, in testing the possibility of
admixture
 for Ashkenazim Jews, Cavalli-Sforza and Carmelli (1979; supplementing
 Carmelli and Cavalli-Sforza 1979) found that one marker (the HLA loci)
 indicated no admixture with Europeans, while another (the ABO loci)
 indicated almost 100 per cent admixture. This indicates rapid selection
for
 ABO and its unsuitability for tests of admixture. Yet Morton et al.
 included the ABO data in their analysis. Cavalli-Sforza's (1982) summary
of
 his research with Carmelli thus appears to be the most authoritative: (a)
 Genetic analysis discriminates "reasonably well" between Gentile Central
 Europeans, Southern Europeans, North Africans, and Middle Eastern
 populations; (b) With regard to Jews historically inhabiting any of these
 regions "their genetic markers are more similar to those of the
population
 whose origins they shared more than 2,000 years ago than to those with
 which they have been in contact since"; (c) that some Jewish populations,
 in particular the Ashkenazim of Central Europe, show important
similarities
 with their Gentile neighbours, due to admixture, natural selection, or
 both; and (d) Despite Middle Eastern origins being "at

DID MODERN JEWS DESCEND FROM KHAZARS?




Many anti-Semites complain that modern Jews are not the Biblical Jews
but are descended from the Khazars. The Khazars converted to Judaism and
thus modern day Jews, it is claimed, are imposters who have no claim on
the Land of Israel, Eretz Yisrael. This claim will be discussed in the
following sections.

It is also interesting to note that the same anti-Semites who complain
about the alleged contents of the Talmud, which was completed no later
than 500 C.E. also claim that the Jews of today are "self-styled Jews"
descended from the Khazars who converted to Judaism in 740 C.E. Some
even claim that the "true" descendants of the Biblical Jews are the
modern day "Aryans". So according to this "logic" the Talmud which they
complain about would actually be an "Aryan" book and not that of the
modern Jews!

Its difficult to see how they can reconcile these two seemingly
contradictory positions.

As for Ashkenazim being Khazars, for one thing there were Jews on the
Rhine (who came with the Romans) long before there was a Khazaria and
even before many Germanic tribes settled there. In fact, the word
Ashkenaz means Germany in Hebrew. Second, even if a group of Khazars
abandoned their own homeland and adopted Jewish peoplehood by conversion
it still doesn't negate their right to the land of Israel. Even Moses's
wives weren't born Hebrews and Ruth the Moabitess was a convert (see
Book of Ruth). Unlike the Germans, membership in the Jewish peoplehood
is not based soley on blood.

RESPONSE (2)

DESCENDED FROM KHAZARS?



The following article addresses the issues of the Khazars with reference
to a particular anti-Semitic film where the same claim is made.

From "The Other Israel - Is it Really Accurate", 1990 Dennis Green,
Stuart Hayward, Phillip Woodfield Opposition to Anti-Semitism,
Incorporated, Christchurch, New Zealand.

In the film, Ted Pike makes the assertion (as have most anti-Semitic
groups, including the Nazis) that the Jews of European origin, the
"Askhenazim" (who comprise almost 80% of today's Jewry), are actually
descended from a medieval people called the Khazars, who converted to
Judaism in the 8th century. The logic of the argument goes something
like this; if 80% of all the Jews in tile world are not really Jews,
then, firstly, these Jews have absolutely no claim, biblical or
otherwise, to the Land of Israel. Secondly, these Jews are in no way the
people of God, and thus, have no place in the promises or plans of God.
Thirdly, if the vast majority of present-day Jews are not Jews
(therefore, not Semitic) at all, then it cannot be considered
"anti-Semitic" to oppose them.

Pike states that 'Today, the Askhenazim, or Khazars, form the majority,
Around 80 %, of those who call themselves Jews." He claims that the
Mongols drove the Khazar-jews into Germany, Poland and Russia in the
13th century, and that these, not "real" Jews, are the people who now
make up most of the population of Israel. Quite simply, this is not
true, as the basic analysis below will show.

The Khazars were a confederation of Turkish tribes who established a
major commercial empire in the second half of the 6th century. As a
trading nation, they were faced with a dilemma; tile Christians would
not trade freely with Muslim nations, and the Muslim nations would not
trade freely with the Christian nations. The Khazars did not want to be
recognized as being more partial to one faith than the other. Therefore,
around 740 C.E., King Bulan adopted Judaism, and thus, as a "neutral"
people, the Khazars could trade more freely with both the Christian and
Muslim nations that bordered Khazaria. It should be noted, however, that
it was only the "ruling class" that adopted Judaism, not the general
Khazar population, as Ted Pike and the other anti-Semites claim (1).
These Khazar-Jews had little, if any, contact with the central Jewish
organisation in Iraq, or with the Jews who still lived in Palestine (as
the Romans had renamed the province of Judea in 135 C.E.). These
Khazar-jews had, in fact, closer links with the (Christian) Byzantine
Empire, as can been seen by the fact that several Byzantine emperors,
including Justinian II (704) and Constantine V (732), had Khazarian
wives.

By the 10th century the Khazar empire, faced with the growing strength
of the Pechenegs to their north and west, and of the Russians around
Kiev, suffered a decline. Khazar power was crushed in 965 when the ruler
of Kiev, Svyatoslav, launched a harsh military campaign against them.
Many Khazars, including some of those who had converted to Judaism,
moved
