I would like to understand who are those Khazars people keep mentioning ?

People around here keep using this word.

what does it have to do with Jews and Judaism ?

I read about Khazar being a 7th century kingdom.

I know about the book of the Khazar being an 800 years old philosophy book, how does this make all Jews Khazars ?

what about the local population ? I mean Jews are mentioned in the chronicles and history books of most middle easterns cultures.

there have been constant Jewish settlements in Israel since the beginning of ancient history.

Cities like Yavne, Bnei Brak, Zefat, Tiberia and Jerusalem were always occupied by Jews.

Jews were dispersed time and time again by the Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, Crusaders, Muslims, Spanish and so on.

do you imply the Jews were destroyed completely, then some Khazar refugees decided to adopt their identity ?

    It's just a lame attempt to discredit us.

    It makes no sense at all but they need to believe it to promote their nonsense.

    A Jew is any person born to Jewish parents or who converted to Judaism, so saying all Jews in the world have common origin - Israelite or Khazar - is a myth.

    Oh yeah

    Another troll pretending stupidity.

    You cannot mix history with politics to serve some phony claim that those blonde hair green eyes jews are originally Middle Eastern Semitics. You turn to be a funny loser.

    You cannot change history to suit your political agenda trying to convince others that Khazar Jews of Turk/Slavic origin never existed. You are fooling yourself.
