I think it would be a mistake to equate Ashkenazi Jews w/ Khazaria. Even tho such a linkage distances present day Jewish inhabitants of Israel from Hebraic biblical ancestors, the dna evidence is lacking, primarily because there is no extant Khazar population to match Ashkenazi Jews with.
This is a complex subject, one I've struggled w/ for years , starting w/ my reading of Koestler's 13th Tribe. But Koestler himself admits his argumentation was motivated by a desire to distance the Israeli Zionists from real Jews, left-liberal Jews like himself. Those colonialist thugs were not part of the civilized, peace-seeking, intellectual tradition he was part of. Did such an ideological bias cause him to overstate his case? I believe so and so does Laurent Guyenot. https://www.unz.com/article/lev-gumilev-and-the-khazar-chimera/#a-jewish-coup-in-khazaria
T'would be better to hold the Khazar proposition as an unproven hypothesis. There is surely some admixture to the total Jewish gene polo, but not the overwhelming 90% the Ashkenazim represent. Important to keep in mind: the word Ashkenazi means German not Khazarian.
thanks for keeping this real. I've also struggled long with more accurate definitions. I started with this thought years ago, "If all of xy and z are being 'anti-semitic' then I wonder gee what is a semite?" The charade falls away quickly after that.
Semite started out as a language term for a cluster of Middle Eastern tongues - Aramaic, Arabic and Hebrew. Aramaic faded out. Arabic spread as Islam conquered countries and Hebrew dwindled into a sacerdotal (religious) language similar to the status of Latin. Then it got revived as European, Russian and American Jews emigrated to Israel after WW2. Israelis now speak Hebrew as their national language, so they're once again considered Semites.
Read an article the other day about Trump talking about massive roundups and deportations of Latinos & others. I was always taken aback at the divisiveness he sowed through his last term, and was really expecting more blowback. Just imagine what could happen if they recycle Trump into the Oval Office, and he (they / TPTB) actually starts doing that. All kinds of possibilities: from a limited civil war giving way to Marshall Law to real terrorism from a pissed off muslim world, or a one-two punch from both.
And if they can’t get either of those things to go organically, there is always the false flag option. And maybe they will have some real fun and take the economy down while it’s happening.
in a country of very few critical thinkers anymore I tried for years to get engagement with friends about such significant historical events. All I usually get back is 'blah blah blah new netflix show we're binge watching". I've given up.

He (Will) is a bit artsy, plays annoyingly loud music, coupled with fast clips of various things, so I don’t listen to much of his stuff, but this one is worth the time.

It wasn't the last time little adolescent Israel made his barking voice heard in Dallas.

There are 3 words that sound alike w/ different spellings and meanings. https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/laying-down-the-law-on-martial-and-marshal-and-marshall
"Marshall" is the first name of my favorite philosopher of media - Marshall McLuhan known for his adage "the Medium is the Message."
