In December 2012 Israeli geneticist Dr. Eran Elhaik published his paper The Missing Link of Jewish European Ancestry: Contrasting the Rhineland and the Khazarian Hypotheses, which has scientifically proven that Ashkenazi Jews, 90% of the Jews in the world, are the descendants of the Khazars/Khazarians; the populace of the once mighty Empire, whose pagan King, and his pagans subjects, converted to rabbinical Judaism en masse in the 8th century.
Dr. Elhaik spoke of a previous study which had claimed to have proved that Ashkenazi Jews were not the descendants of the the Khazarians, but instead proved that they originated from the Levant: "It is my impression that their results were written before they began the research. First they shot their arrow - and then they painted the bull's-eye around it."
Unlike previous studies, which "proved" what the Zionist Khazarians wanted to hear i.e. they were they descendants of the tribe of Judea, Elhaik's study has been meet with silence in Israel, with virtually all historians and geneticists refusing to comment to the Israeli newspaper Haartez.
It was Henry, a valued commenter on this blog, who first told me of this study, and sent me a copies of Elhaik's paper and a report on it from the journal Genome Biology and Evolution, published by Oxford University Press. It's not the first time he has sent me very interesting documents, so a big thank you to Henry!
On the first two pages below is the aforementioned Genome Biology and Evolution article by Danielle Venton, and is fairly straightforward. The Haartez link above, is a mainstream report on Elhaik's paper. The study itself is a scientific paper, by a geneticist for geneticists, so it's not all 'light reading', to put it mildly.
