actually i have no objection to anything from the article you quoted from the khazaria site...namely because that article and that site on the whole is not advocating for what you seem to think they are advocating for...
are you reading anything i'm writing at all??
the jews at Khazaria.com SAY they are gentile converts - CHECK
they SAY they are not racial hebrews - CHECK
they SAY they migrated to Eastern Europe - CHECK
maybe you should contact that website and ask them to remove 'zionist propaganda' such as -this-...
"East European Jewish ancestry originates substantially from ancient Judea, and the same is true of most other modern Jewish populations"
"The main ethnic element of Ashkenazim (German and Eastern European Jews), Sephardim (Spanish and Portuguese Jews), Mizrakhim (Middle Eastern Jews), Juhurim (Mountain Jews of the Caucasus), Italqim (Italian Jews), and most other modern Jewish populations of the world is Israelite."
again i don't know how much longer we will be able to continue this if you aren't even reading -your own sources-

All existing studies fail to compare modern Jewish populations' DNA to ancient Judean DNA and medieval Khazarian DNA, but in the absence of old DNA, comparisons with living populations appear to be adequate to trace geographic roots.

i know you don't like the new studies posted.
the antisemitic revisionists i guess....
maybe revisit them?
it's up to you.

At the same time, there are traces of European (including Northern Italian and Western Slavic or Eastern Slavic) and Khazar ancestry among European Jews.
Medieval Kingdom of Khazaria, 652-1016
Over a thousand years ago, the far east of Europe was ruled by Jewish kings who presided over numerous tribes, including their own tribe: the Turkic Khazars.
After their conversion, the Khazar people used Jewish personal names, spoke and wrote in Hebrew, were circumcised, had synagogues and rabbis, studied the Torah and Talmud, and observed Hanukkah, Pesach, and the Sabbath. The Khazars were an advanced civilization with one of the most tolerant societies of the medieval period. It hosted merchants from all over Asia and Europe. On these pages it is hoped that you may learn more about this fascinating culture.

thanks.
