31. No, can YOU tell us...
John ,   Europe   (06.08.08)
How do you know that ONE OF THE FORFATHERS or FORMOTHERS of these people was not a convert? Let's just mention KHAZAR, and the mass conversion. Today, it is estimated that 80% of Ashkenazim is from Khazar conversion. This is historical FACTS. So, you have a problem: they are not "pure blooded". What now? Oh, yes, simple logic: if you DON'T have monoteism before Avraam, and he embraces it - he is a convert. Ruth is convert. Damn it, Onkelos is convert. MANY very important people in Jewish tradition are converts. Go and read. Just because you made allyah, doesn't mean you are cadik.
32. John , Khazars and king David

Ruth , a convert , was NOT David's mother . She was his grand grandmother . Try to learn . The Ashkenazi Jews are NOT for 80 % descendants of the Khazars . Your "historical facts" were advocated by antisemitic sources [ wikipedia ]Tell me what you read , and i'll tell you what you are .

the khazars that's long time ago . Those of their descendants have already this Jewish background , they are 100 % part of the Jewish people now . Having made Alyah , gives me some "points" , and a galut guy as you are , has'nt any right to criticise .
34. John , Khazars
bar ,   Israel   (06.08.08)
the theory that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews are the descendants of the non semitic converted Khazars was advocated by various racial theorists and ANTISEMITIC sources in the 20 th Century [ wikipedia ] Tell me what you read , and i'll tell you what you are
35. John , Ruth and David
bar ,   Israel   (06.08.08)
David's mother was'nt Ruth . She was his grand grandmother . You are what you are trelling , lies
36. #17- There is a traditional patrilineal Jewish movement
Dave ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.09.08)
There is a TRADITIONAL patrilineal Jewish movement- it's called Karaite Judaism. It is very traditional- it requires belief in Torah Mi'Sinai. It's followers are accepted as fully Jewish even by some Orthodox.
37. John, Europe...
Jenny ,   Hamburg   (07.25.08)
I guess Europe stands for Germany, right? Leave these typical projection things and calm down. Nobody talked about pure blooded Judaism. Avraham moved against his fathers Idiolaltry - there was no conversion process involved. So he was not a convert. Why do you point righteous on your right for conversation? The article isn't written against conversion processes - au contraire :-)
