It is hard for me to understand that millions of European Christians used to believe that another group of Europeans just like them were the descendants of the ancient Hebrews that are mentioned in that Bible. Common sense should have told them that the reason why the Ashkenazi look so European is because they are European! common sense should have told them the reason why they look completely different from the Jews of the Middle East is because they are completely different people and the only thing they have in common is only religion. Let common sense be your guide.
