The Ashkenazi are a European people and nothing about them is Middle Eastern except that the Middle East is from where their religion originated just like it is for the Christians! The ridiculous claim by these Europeans that they are the Hebrews returning home to Palestine is absolutely ridiculous – and especially today when DNA has confirmed that they are in fact 100% European! Life in Palestine for them is so wonderful compared to the way they used to live in the ghettos of Eastern Europe that they will never want to get out of Palestine.
