Editor’s Note: Since I hold a B. A. in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Florida, I have always been fascinated by the claims and controversies about the real origin of modern day “Jews” from Northern Europe: the so-called, Askhenazim: are they really Jews? are they Hebrews? Do they have any claim to the Holy Land? — The Rothschilds are among the Ashkehazim and they are the principal proponents of the modern state of Israel. — The political question is inextricable from the genetic question, because if this finding is true, then the majority of those who claim to be Jews in the Holy Land today have no ethnic or religious right or reason to occupy or return to that land, even if one were to accept the ludicrous notion, that a people, dispossessed of their land 2000 years ago had any right to return.
