Are Ashkenazi Jews decendants from the middle east or from the khazars?

Question

I keep hearing both sides. One side says genetic evidence proves they are from the middle east, but other says they are decendants from the Khazars. The khazars are people who converted to judaism, who come from southern Russia. Is there genetic evidence of The khazar theory??

Please list source and answer if you truly know

Answer 1

Read how many Sephardic (Brown Jews) citizens of Israel were killed off by radiation treatment.

The Khazars are as bloodthirsty as their true ancestor Attila the white Hun.

They think they have to create a superior race of Jews with white caucasian features.

The Khazars are the core of Zionism and they want to create their kingdom again since the Khazar kingdom was crushed by Christians from the North (Russia) in the 11th century.


Zionists used Radiation to poison 100,000 Sephardic Jewish Children

Answer 2

sources ok

Key findings:

The main ethnic element of Ashkenazim (German and Eastern European Jews), Sephardim (Spanish and Portuguese Jews), Mizrakhim (Middle Eastern Jews), Juhurim (Mountain Jews of the Caucasus), Italqim (Italian Jews), and most other modern Jewish populations of the world is Israelite. The Israelite haplotypes fall into haplogroups J and E.
Ashkenazim also descend, in a smaller way, from European peoples such as Slavs and Khazars. The non-Israelite haplogroups include Q (typically Central Asian) and R1a1 (typically Eastern European

These results are grossly inconsistent with the notion that the Ashkenazim are descended, to any significant degree, from the Khazars or some Slavic group. Such claims have often rested on the large numbers of Ashkenazim, relative to the small numbers of German Jews a thousand years ago. However, the genetic evidence supports the notion that the Ashkenazim are descended from a small ancestral population

Answer 3

All Jews came from the Middle East originally. I don't know about the more recent origin of Europe's Jews, but they weren't descended from the Khazars.
