Robert C. Quillan wrote a very enlightening article titled, "The Jewish Kings of Russia." This article appeared in the April-June, 1988 edition of the Jewish magazine, Shabbat Shalom. Some Excerpts King Menachem? King Benjamin? King Joseph? King Obadiah? King Isaac? King Hanukkah? King Zebulun? King Moses? King Nessi? Bible students won't find these names in the Scriptures; instead, these [non-genetic] Jewish Kings ruled what is now part of the southern Soviet Union. Long before the modern [twentieth century] State of Israel, a Jewish kingdom located between the Caspian and Black seas arose amid a world overtly hostile to the Jews. This new Israel was called Khazaria. The King converted to Judaism. His Khazar nobles followed, as did much of the population. [King]Bulan and 4,000 Khazars were soon circumcised. Thus began a line of Gentile-Jewish [non-Israelite] kings that ruled into the tenth century. Though not of Semitic origin, Joseph [one of the Khazar kings] regarded his people as a part of Israel, and considered himself a Jew by faith rather than by genetics. He was a spiritual son of Abraham rather than a biological one. He apparently considered Semitic and non-Semitic Jews...to be brothers in a common faith and a common Messiah. Same article - later excerpt "...the Jews of Poland and eastern Europe are of largely Khazar-Jewish, rather than Semitic-Jewish origin" and "Because many American Jews trace their lineage to these countries," many scholars conclude that this "disturbs the concept of a chosen people [from today's Jews] extending back to Abraham." Dr. Benjamin H. Freedman, a Jew, was published by the National Economic Council, Inc. on October 15, 1947. Dr Freedman's letter exposes political Zionism.

Council Letter No. 177 - submitted by Dr. Benjamin H. Freedman popular ignorance of the real basis of political Zionism is beyond calculation. Vaguely most Christian Americans have the idea that the Jews claim Palestine because it was the "Promised Land" in which they lived for a period of a few centuried that ended 2000 years ago. And the thought of a people returning to its "homeland" seems emotionally satisfying and good. But here are facts most Americans do not know: Political Zionism is almost exclusively a movement by the Jews of Europe. But these Eastern European Jews have neither a racial nor a historic connection with Palestine. Their [non-Semitic] ancestors were not inhabitants of the "Promised Land." They are the direct descendants of the people of the Khazar Kingdom, which existed until the 12th century. The Khazars were a non-Semitic, Turko-Finn, Mongolian tribal people who, about the 1st century A.D., emigrated from Middle Asia to Eastern Europe....About the 7th century A.D., the King of the Khazars adopted Judaism as the state religion, and the majority of inhabitants joined him in the new allegiance. Before that date there was no such thing as a Khazar who was a Jew. Neither then nor since was there such a thing as a Khazar whose ancestors had come from the Holy Land. The Semitic people who established Judaism in Palestine many centuries before the Khazars became converts to the Hebrew faith [Dr. Freedman errs at this point - Talmudic Judaism, a corrupt and blasphemous religion brought back from Babylon to Judea, has nothing to do with the Hebrew faith of the Old Covenant], did mostly emigrate from Palestine. But none of them [Semitic Judahites] emigrated to the Khazar Kingdom far to the North. In view of this fact, what becomes of the cry for "repatriation" to the "homeland"? These Eastern European, Yiddish-speaking Jews have no historic or racial connection with Palestine... ...if the Indians should demand America back, would we all pack up and return to the lands of our ancestral origins? Yet the Arabs have been in Palestine a thousand years longer that we have been here [in America]. And if the claim of the Palestinian-descended Jews is so dubious, what of the claim of the Khazar-descended Jews? Would a single Christian support their trek back to the "homeland" or wnat to oblige them by expelling the Arabs, if it were known that these Eastern European, Yiddish-speaking Jews who form the Zionist group practically in toto [almost entirely], have neither a geographic, historic, nor ethnic connection with either the Jews [Israelite Judahites] of the Old Testament or the land known today as Palestine? Henry Woldmar Ruoff's book, "The Circle of Knowledge" substantiates Dr. Freedman's statements in the section entitled "Book Of Races And Peoples": The social solidarity of the Jews is chiefly a product of religion and tradition. Taking all factors into account, and especially their type of civilization, the Jews of today are more truly European that Asiatic or Semitic. Please, do continue on to Khazars part 3
