How are the Ashkenazi connected to the Middle East? By using a biblical fiction and by claiming to be the descendants of the ancient Hebrews which is such a ridiculous claim to be made by white European people who are so European that their own DNA has confirmed that they are in fact 100% European. Arab land was used to get rid of the European Jews who were extremely hated by the Christians of Europe who desperately were looking around for a place to get rid of them!
