Ashkenazi “Jews” are NOT biblical Israelites. Instead of being primarily the descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel, present-day Jewish populations are primarily descendants of Turkish peoples who lived in what is now Russia, north of Georgia, east of Ukraine. Indeed, a substantial proportion of the population originates from local Europeans who converted to Judaism. In fact, more than 80% of Ashkenazi DNA has European ancestry on the maternal side. The real question is not, “Are these people Jews?”, but rather, “Are these people Americans?” And the answer is obviously NOT. Their everyday language isn’t English, but Yiddish, a vernacular based on High German fused with many elements taken from Hebrew and to some extent Aramaic. Yiddish originated in 9th century Central/Eastern Europe, and these Ashkenazi brought it over to America from there. Being an American entails MORE than simply having been physically born here. It involves embracing the American culture and way of life, not importing a foreign culture and language into a new country. Again, this isn’t about religion—people are free to practice (or not) any form of worship they choose. Just because a people may have adopted rabbinic Judaism as their religion does NOT make them the physical posterity of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Nor does it give them any right or claim to the land of Palestine. They need to return to eastern Europe and the Caucasus whence they originated.
