actually, i don't think that the bible gives the jews any special right to any holy lands in the first place.

so, i don't need to pull out the khazar theory to deny any concept of a jewish right of return; the religious basis is bullshit to begin with.

it's worse than bullshit. it's insane.

think about what you're saying: you're claiming that it's ok to displace a population of people based on a promise handed down by god to somebody that walked across a desert at 120 years old in the iron age, only to collapse before he saw a "promised land".

there is no such goddamned thing as a motherfucking "promised land". alright? got it? yeesh.

how can serious people make serious policy based on such absurd idiocy? how did we let powerful institutions get taken over by such stupidity? and how did we allow this to actually happen?

i will always defer to the science, and the science says it is dubious, but i must admit that i do find the khazarian theory of ashkenazi origins as a plausible explanation of the origin of white jews. but, it has no effect on how i view israel because i don't think that brown jews have a right to a "promised land", either - because i think the idea of a "promised land" is completely fucking insane.

are there holes in the arguments detracting from the theory? well, i'm not going to do a systemic review. but if what you're doing is taking dna from some existing georgians and comparing it with dna from white jews and pointing out that they don't match, you're not really testing what you think you're testing. you could just as well deduce that the georgians aren't khazars, right? and, does anybody actually think that they are?

i've seen studies that suggest some genetic affinity between white jews and iranians, and it's maybe a little closer to the point.

but, i will defer. i must.
