Original Note:
Poster is referring to the Khazar myth, which claims that Ashkenazi Jews were primarily descendents from Khazars. No genetic markers have been found in Ashkenazi Jews that would link them to peoples of the Caucasus/Khazar area. Post repeats a known antisemitic conspiracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Jews https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazar_hypothesis_of_Ashkenazi_ancestry
