the khazar myth is edgy but if you want to insult ashkenazi jews by saying were not "tru israelites" while remaining accurate, dont call us slavs or turks, call us romans. its much more accurate, were like half descended from southern italian converts, also it names us after our enemies.

@georgia not sure the rhetorical point of the khazar theory because saying "actually you guys are turks" has very little significance. maybe it's for people who are really attached to the old testament israelites and want to deny their relation to modern jews?

@genmaicha @georgia an actual jew came up with the khazar theory, which still doesn't shine too much light into why it was made up. my hunch is that he wanted to fabricate a claim on Ukraine
