Thought there would be some proof shown. Not the " because i said so" debunking

[robertshepherd]

Thank you, sir. Prof. Shaul Stampfer totally debunks the Khazar myth.

Converts to a religion. Plain and simple

I've got a Mormon neighbor that swears he is from Joseph's line and I am Jewish too if only I'd get a blessing to find out which tribe.
In his mind the Earth was populated by the scattered tribes, I pointed out the new testament where they are preached to and all the different languages they ended up with being amoung the nations mostly sirian and Babylonian but he has an American prophet that says otherwise.

What I'm hearing is that a few Khazars converted 1, 000 years ago but their lineage can still be traced back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob because they had joined other Jewish families via marriage back when they converted. Is this an accurate summary?

[lizarosa]

We are not supposed to use it anymore. Semitic people or Semites is an obsolete term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group associated with people of the Middle East, including Arabs, Jews, Akkadians, and Phoenicians.

The Ashkenazi Jews are the descendents of the Jews of the diaspora of 70a.d/ various Roman Jewish Wars which brought more Jews to various parts of the Roman empire.

My question to Dr. Brown is whether or not he condemns anti-gentilism as much as he does anti-Semitism, that is, the descrimination against, prejudice or hostility to non-Jews by Semites, as well as Jewish supremacism. Because the ethnoreligious group of Jewry constitutes a dominant minority in the U.S., one that is entrenched in our economics, politics, media and academia, and which enjoys the most influence, privilege and security as a community here.

Dr Brown, can you explain the meaning of Psalm 16? I’m having trouble understanding what it’s referring to and I’ve looked up commentaries but none of them really add up

[ai-kthy]

Descendants of Khazars are Karaims and Kyrymchaks. Not Ashkenazi. But some of them got assimilated among Ashkenazis. That's why they are disappeared. They were minority so they couldn't affect Ashkenazi dna much. But in some Ashkenazi dna it can be seen

[jamesthomas]

0:46 Lol, neither ashkenazi jews or the Khazars were ever caucasians.

[zedek]

But scripture doesn’t tell you what DNA were the Israelites so how can you trace them back. Also Yeshua said that Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles. The Ashkenazi have a higher chance on being gentiles than being jews. Luke 21:24-And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.”

According to 1 Maccabees 3:48 & wisdom of Solomon 14:15-16 you are the walking talking image of the image of so called Jesus whose image was created by the heathen. That image was created to look like whoever is calling themselves Jews hence the classic dark hair and brown eyes.That alone. An image of a man you don’t believe has come yet literally destroys you all, it’s the irony for me.

[MosheHaMayim]

s.a.tan stands against Israel, nothing new about that. Jeremiah 33 also has similar verses like chapter 31. The OT prophets speak much about DNA Israel and their latter day return to the land, both houses being reunited and living under Messiah King Yeshua.
Jeremiah 31:10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.


11 For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. 

(Hebrews 13: 8).

Amen

[aptginc]

While I was not happy for it one of my children did DNA. On her fathers side are Jewish while a small amount it still showed up just as in the heritage that was told us. We have always been Christians.

[misterx]

Why do they have Eastern European DNA?

[ttall]

I'm not Anti Semetic Or racist..but I feel Special because Jesus loves me. I feel good that he's my King. Do you think Jesus thinks I'm special ? Doesn't that separate me from other groups that don't believe in him ? What does Jesus think of people that don't believe in him ? What is he going to do to those people in the end?

[allanhouston]

Wait, this guy starts with a statement and try to debunk it while citing a fictional book, like its a scientific proof. Weak points, my friend

[phillipbradshaw]

Ashkenazi was a kingdom destroyed and repopulated by the Babylonians with captives from Israel, that is now Armenia.
