An Ashkenazi Jew claims that Ashkenazi Jews are not Hebrews or related to the ancient Israelites at all.

What do you think?

No, but I did see your site.
I really don't believe in the 13 tribes; I believe there's only (Gen.49:28; Luke 22:30;Rev.7:3-8) 12 tribes of Israel that is stated in the Bible. I only believe what the Bible says(Luke 4:4) and not what people think or believe because they're false deceptions leading you away from the Bible. I happen to talk to a person that belonged to Church of God International that believed in the 13th tribe; I was wondering where he got such a thing; when the Bible only speaks of only 12 tribes.

I read about it. It’s not true.
They checked Ashkenazi Jews DNA and they found a very strong Middle Eastern ancestry.
They found only loose ancestry form the Kazars.
Meaning, the Kazars did convert to Judaism and there is some mixture with the Jewish population, but, the Middle Eastern ancestry was much stronger when DNA was checked!!!
This article and others like it is only to confirm the Muslim-Arab notion that Jews are not indigenous to the Middle East and that they should return to Europe. But if you check the DNA of Askenazi Jews (from Europe) you fined that their origin is from the Middle East.
Not only that, the Askenazi Jews are only half of the Jewish population. Half of it were Jews that all through history were scattered in the middle eastern area - Ottoman empire - and in the Arab northern African countries.
These Jews never sew European countries all through history.

If you think about it, it really doesn't matter what tribe you're in because we all belong to the linage of Adam. And the promises made to Abraham applies to all the seeds of the earth. But most important of all, Jesus Christ united all the dispensations, from Adam to the present, the twelve plus the thirteenth tribes and all the gentiles in between. The resurrection of all the dead and the living will be fulfilled through the atonement of Jesus Christ.

Depending on the verse you pick in the bible, the names and number of tribes varies from 11 to 13, and in total (counting all names given or Israelite tribes names), is more than 16. I noticed that the previous poster didn't mention the listing of tribes in Ruth or that the listing of tribes in Rev is actually different than it is in Gen. There's obvious conflict. So, if there are tribes unaccounted, it's no surprise.

ALL Cohens have been proved to be all genetically linked. This obviously includes all Ashkenazi Jews.

Who does he say his father was? He's using the term "Jew" inappropriately. He isn't one, according to our knowledge and use of the word. And, I rather think that since there's no relation.....I've no interest in him.

there might have been a tribe that was eliminated and another took their place, I'm not sure....
