Israeli researchers find American Indians with Jewish genetic markers
Xinhuanet ^ | 5-30-12

JERUSALEM, May 30 (Xinhua) -- Geneticists at an Israeli hospital said they have found a unique Jewish genetic mutation among an American Indian tribe, indicating that they are descendants of Jews expelled from Spain 600 years ago, local Haaretz daily reported on Wednesday.

The findings of the study, conducted at the Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, show that a group of Indians from the State of Colorado bear the so-called "Ashkenazi mutation," on the BRCA1 gene - a marker unique to European Jews.

While such so-called "secret Jews," or "Anusim" in Hebrew, whose families assimilated into various north and south American cultures hundreds of years ago after journeying to the New World are more and more known, this is the first time an Indian tribe has shown the gene.

Those Jews were believed to be descendants of a Jewish man who left Europe and settled in south America about 600 years ago - likely among the hundreds of thousands of Jews expelled by Spain in 1492, and possibly among those who sailed with Christopher Columbus, according to the report, which appears in the European Journal of Human Genetics.

Good gravy. Are there still people who believe that?

There are, and the article I linked makes it very clear who they are.

Have you ever looked at the Russian/Eastern European Jews....they’re not Semites.

Actually, one of the most famous Jewish writers of the 20th century wrote a book expounding this theory.

Their only alternatives would have been tiny but tolerant Holland or continued dhimmitude in Muslim North Africa and the Ottoman Empire. Jews were not allowed back into Britain till after Cromwell took power in the 1600's.

There was also the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Actually, they may as well have been. The families did not intermarry back then. Furthermore, the Askenasi were originally Khazars who converted to Judaism circa 1200 A.D. - no connection to Israel.
The Khagan Bek (prime minister/chief general) of the Khazar Khaganate, Bulan, converted to Judaism in 740. The empire did not and the Ashina clan Khagans remained Tengists for generations, if not all the way to 1016, when the last kingdom led the Christian Georgius Tsul was destroyed by the Rus and Byzantium. There was no Khazar state in 1200. The entire legitimacy of the Khazar Khaganate (empire) lay in the Ashina Tengrist priest Khagans, who were the ruling family of the previous Kok Turkut. But putting aside history, there is genetics. And genetic testing shows that most Ashkenazi Jews have no Turkic ancestry. Go to Khazaria.com for a summary. There are Turkic Jews such as the few thousand Karaylar (Tatar Karaites) and all but extinct Krimchaks (Tatar Rabbinate Jews). I'm sure that some Bukharan Jews have some Turkic ancestry too. But some distant ancestry means nothing. No one thinks of David, much less Jesus as Moabites.

You mean the communist anti-Zionist fiction writer Arthur Koestler? Koestler was a hack, who ignored actual history and research. Do yourself a favor, stop digging. I have forgotten more about Khazaria than you will bother to learn.

In 721 BC the ten northern tribes of Israel were dispersed to all the nations as part of their judgment for breaking covenant with Yahweh.

Have you gone to the site Joes and Jews on the web. It's an interesting site about the subject of the lost tribe of Israel, with loads of info and related items. It's a good site to get lost in (notice the pun). It doesn't espouse "British Israelism", which I have found to be off the track of truth.

This subject is actually dear to my heart, because as I read, especially The Old Testament, it comes up unbelievably often.

I had zero information or knowledge about lost tribes the night The LORD saved me. The LORD clearly indicated to me that Joseph was important to me during my salvation experience and I hardly knew anything about Joseph. I later came to realize that He was showing me that I am of the tribe of Joseph. That is why I began to be really interested in this subject.

I believe that “Darkness at Noon” is considered both a great literary achievement as well as a devastating indictment of communism.

Millions Of Jews Traced To Four Women

Reminds me of an old Sam Levenson joke: "Somewhere on this globe, every ten seconds, there is a woman giving birth to a child. She must be found and stopped."

Chinese Jews look Chinese. Ethiopian Jews look Ethiopian. Yemeni Jews look Yemeni.

Actually, one of the most famous Jewish writers of the 20th century wrote a book expounding this theory.

Arthur Koestler wanted to prove that Jews weren't "Semites" so the "anti-Semites" would stop hating them. Instead the "anti-Semites" switched from hating them because they were Semites to hating them because they were not Semites.

Do you know the difference between 'Ashkenazi Hebrew and Sefaradi Hebrew? Can you read the prayerbooks of the two rites?

I advise you to cease and desist this neo-Nazi nonsense.
