Jews...and their Polish experience

The 'Ashkenazim' or 'Eastern' Jews are descendants of the Khazars/Kagans,

What does "Ashkenaz" mean...translated in regard to Germany?

Ashkenaz" being the Medieval Hebrew name for Germany

Witek and Joepilsudski, you're both right in some ways. Jews are devided to 3: Ashkenazi Jews (Most of the jews of europe), Sepharadi Jews (Jews of Spain & Portugal. -> most of them have immigrated to the Balkan, and then to Israel) and Mizrakhi Jews (Jews of Asia & Africa). Their look is determind by their origins. Ashkenazic Jews often have light skin/hair/eyes. Most of the Jews are of Ashkenazic Ethnicity (Especially of Russian and Polish origins), and how did the Ashkenazic get to Europe? 2000 years ago Jews were exiled from Israel by the Romans. Many of them were sent to what is known today as Italy as Slaves (and immigrated to Germany from there), some immigrated to Spain,Germany and France, and others crossed Asia, through the Caucasus to Russia. About the Khazars - Khazaria was a kingdom in the Southern Ukraine/North Caucasus area, true. They were known as people with a Red hair and blue eyes, most of them anyway. Some Jews who had to leave Babylon moved straight ahead to Europe - through Khazaria. Some of them stayed In Khazaria, and after hundreds of years the king of the Khazars started to believe in the Jewish Religion, after talking to A Rabbi, A Priest and A Sheikh. At the beginning, most of the Elite of the Khazaria did "gyor" (became Jewish), and a few years later most of the Khazars became Jews. After the Kingdom fall, many of them changed their religion to Christianity, some of them moved north/east to the lands of Russia and some of them moved west to Poland, Ashkenaz, Lithuania etc'. Some of the Ashkenazic Jews are actually Sepharadic (some of the Romanian Jews, Dutch Jews, Belgian Jews, German Jews and Russian Jews), because when the Jews were exiled from Spain & Portugal, many of them moved east to other European countries, while most of them moved to the Balkan. By the way, from Genetic tests that have been made in Israel, a gene that is very common in Turkish-race people was found at *some* Ashkenazic Jews. Some say It's a proof of Khazar origins. The term "Ashkenazic" is originally from the word "Ashkenaz" - that refers to Germany, but most of the Jews of Europe are called Ashkenazic, doesnt matter if their origins are of German Jews are not, and thats because of the way they pray at the Bet-Knesset. The "Nusakh Tfila" (way they pray) has been created in Ashkenaz, Germany.

Bachon, any ideas on the origin of this name?

my point is that the Ashkenazim have played games with history and used it to justify a 'right to the land' that this tribe's ancestors never lived in, Palestine... it is a scam.

...so 'Askenazi' could be transliterated as 'Princes of Germany'

My question to this argument is: Do you want us to live in Poland or germany?

Polish people always told Jews to "go back to palestine". We did. So what are you compaining about now?

Your bigotry is so obvious it makes you look ridiculous.

Polish attitudes towards Jews has nothing to do with actual Jews.

Most of the things you think you know about us have no connection to reality.

Look at your own posts.

In one post you say on the one hand that jews can live in poland, like there's no problem, and on the other hand you complain about "those damn commie Jews" that are still in poland. Your bigotry is so obvious it makes you look ridiculous.

The discussion between Jews and Poles is about the relationship between two ethnic-religious groups that lived in the same country for hundreds of years, sometimes in harmony, but more often with hostility and suspicion. It's an interesting topic and it has a lot of emotional baggage.
