I don't usually agree with Renzulli, but he's on track here.

Another anti-semite thing going around the freedom movement is that Ashkenazi Jews are Khazars and it's "proven" because the Ashkenazi Jewish language was the or is descendent from the Khazar language.

This is utter nonsense. 

1) "Ashkenaz" is the Hebrew word for Germany.

2) Most Ashkenazi Yiddish speakers are understood by native German speakers and vice versa.  In fact, the word "Yiddish" is an anglicization of the German word "Juedisch" (or Jewish).  And Yiddish is officially a Germanic language.

3) The anti-semites claim that the Khazar Jews are not "real Jews".  DNA testing shows that not only is that false, but it's hard to tell between any European Jews and European non-Jews.  And that includes the Ashkenazi that migrated as far east as Kyrgistan and even China.

Darn you, Mike. 

For centuries my people have been accused of kidnapping cherubic, Aryan-featured little kids, slitting their throats with our shechita knives and using their blood to make Matzah for Passover. 

We have been accused of sneaking into the local church and re-torturing Jesus of Nazereth anew by stabbing Communion wafers with daggers. 

We have been accused of being conniving, usurious Joo Banksters, who sucker the fine moral paragons that comprise the leaders in Government and allied Industry, ensnaring them in a two-thousand-year-plot, playing both sides against the middle, towards World Dominion. 

I for one, have grown weary of these claims. 

I do not like bloody Matzah (who does?).  I am either on the net, or getting a crummy night's sleep, when I was scheduled for cracker stabbing.  If my landsmen are rapacious international financiers who destroy countries, and murder millions on a whim, why is the work of three generations in our family business all but spent, trying to survive the latest economic stimulus? 

Well. I, for one was just on the cusp of re-inventing myself as an erudite, yet mysterious, racconteur, rumoured to be a Khazar prince, when you come along with this article and poo in my punchbowl. 

Phooey.  Back to the drawing board.

It's easy. Follow the Money! It leads back to Central European Banksters that so happen to also be Israeli Zionists...oh how convenient isn't it? 

If you want people to stop hatin' on y'all then Damnit do something about your Bankster Elitists that you have in your ranks and abolish the racist apartheid and construct a nation based on an idea of Liberty and Equality for ALL colors, races and creeds rather than one based on a Religion.

Funny how people easily forget how Christians and Muslims are treated by the Zionists within Israel and abroad isn't it.....

Aint no Brazilian or Norwegian bother my Liberties and pocket book now that's for darn sure. :-)

Anti-Semitism goes back to the day the Jews were first heard of as slaves of the Egyptians, and their history has been a long sad one ever since. At least Christians are now mainly over it because they finally figured out that whether Jews "killed the Savior" or not, God long ago reversed the conviction and sentence, so no harm, no foul, and that Jews have a historical right to a homeland in Israel with or without some holy books some of them wrote or their veracity. Too bad, Islam from day one has been in an all-out war with the Jews, its very theology being an attempt to call Jewish theology a lie, but not a fairy tale, a twisted version of the truth, and reverse the favor of God from Jews to Arabs, and since it's ingrained in Muhammad and his Quran it will never end as long as Islam exists. Hence the new anti-Semitism is fueled by Saudi oil money, and has unfortunately made great inroads around the world, especially in mainly atheist post-Christian Europe, who have formed a strange marriage with the fundamentalist Muslim Arabs that can't last long before it explodes in their faces. Here in America, which is still mainly Christian, we're too wise to fall for it, except for some misguided fringers on both wings. Instead we recognize that the Jews need a national homeland precisely because of anti-Semitism, a safe haven that is protected by U.S. military might, even if the rest of the world turns its back. Only those ignorant of Islam fall for the baloney that the Israelis are invaders or Nazis who stole the land of the Palestinian people, a fake people who are just Arabs whose ancestors stole the entire region of the world way back before it was taken from them by the Turks, and from the Turks by the Western Allies, all while the real Jews were kept homeless and finally took matters in their own hands after the Holocaust.
