The book is fabulous. And, I think I agree with him. I have always said that so many Eastern European Jews look Turkish.
If you like to read books like this, try ''Blood Brothers'', by Elias Chacour. It is the true story of a Palestinian boy who grows to manhood and becomes a priest. It is from 1947 on. Tho I am not a Christian, I was intrigued by his love of Jesus and his using the peace of Jesus to try to make peace in Israel. Just had to tell someone about this book------it has really touched me.
I like the reply above mine. I have adopted the Sehpardim and the Mizrahim Jews as my own---they are the Jews of the Holy Land.

It's Koestler. He is not alone in determining that the Ashkenaky Jews are descendants of the Khazars, a Turkic people who converted to Judaism centuries BCE and forgot their origins. By this theory, the true Jews who can trace their origin to Babylon, and before that to Judea, are the Sephardim, a smaller number that includes Disraeli and Spinoza.

"Arabs are merely Jews on horse-back," according to Benjamin Disraeli. (He was the only Jew to become Prime Minister of Britain - in the 19th Century.)
