I am really disappointed that this anti-Semitic website is being promoted here. No, make that actually pissed off. That someone claiming to be a scholar has been taken in by this stains academia, if indeed it is the case that he is a scholar. Bruce, this is contemptuous at best, and you can use your darkest imagination as to what I would call it at worst. There has been much legitimate Khazar research, and from what little I've seen of it, it is very fascinating. But, there is other Khazar "research" that has been insidiously used to lay the groundwork among some that Western Jews are descendents of Khazars in their entirety, thus leading to the "natural" conclusion that they then have no claim to the Holy Land. An academic intifada if you will. I suggest that the moderator or whomever is in charge of this list forbids this garbage from appearing here again. Let's keep this list focused on genealogy, not hatred.
