I am of Middle Eastern origin and the Ashkenazi are of European origin and we have absolutely nothing in common. The Ashkenazi to the people of the Middle East are not different from the Germans or the French or the British – meaning that they are all a European people. How did anybody buy the ridiculous notion that the Ashkenazi are descended from the ancient Hebrews and yet they provided no evidence for their claim? Today, we have scientific evidence that the European Jews have 0% genetic link connecting them to the Middle East. So, on what basis are these white people still claiming to be from the Middle East? It is so bizarre!
