American Jews Are Khazars Not Israelites
San Diego Union- August 29, 1966
Nathan M. Pollock a has beef with the Israeli government. His elaborate plans to celebrate this September the 1000th anniversary of the Jewish-Khazar alliance were summarily rejected.
Being an elderly, meek-looking man who migrated to Israel from Russia 43 years ago, Pollock ekes out a living as a translator of scientific texts and proofreader in a publishing firm. But his great passion, hobby and avocation is historic research. He has devoted 40 of his 64 years to trying to prove that six out of 10 Israelis and nine out of 10 Jews in the Western Hemisphere are not real Jews' Jews, but descendants of fierce Khozar tribes which roamed the steppes of southern Russia many centuries ago.
For obvious reasons the Israeli authorities are not at all eager to give the official stamp of approval to Pollack's theories. "For all we know, he may be 100 per cent right" said a senior government official. "In fact, he is not the first one to discover the connection between Jews and Khozars. Many famous scholars, Jews and non-Jews, stressed these links in their historical research works.
"But who can tell today what percentage of Khozar blood flows in our veins, if at all? And who can declare with any degree of accuracy which Jews are Jews and which are descendants of this Tartar-Mongol race? " As a matter of fact, our alleged descent from the Khazars is the central theme of Arab propaganda," he added. "The Arabs claim most European Jews have no right to be in Israel in the first place because they are not descended from Biblical Hebrews, but from Tartar-Mongol nomad tribes, including the Khozars who were converted to Judaism en masse 1,000 years ago."
'Scientific opinion in Israel is divided on the subject. No one argues the basic premise: that a group of 12,000 Jews, fleeing from persecution and wars in the Holy land, in the wake of Byzantine and Moslem conquests, made the long overland trek to Persia, crossed the territory of today's Turkestan in Central Asia and found asylum in the Khozar Kingdom, which occupied a vast area between the Caspian Sea, Volga River, Ural Mountains, Black Sea and the Polish borderlands.
In the year 965 the Khozars were defeated for the first time in 500 years by Prince Sviatoslav of Kiev. King Bulan III of Khozaria concluded that Prince Sviatoslav emerged victorious from the war because his troops and mercenaries were Christians, while his nomads were pagan worshipers. The king and his nobles embraced Judaism in 965, and in 966 a royal edict was passed enforcing Judaism as the only legal religion in the Khozar Kingdom. Tribesmen had to undergo circumcision, learn Hebrew prayers and recognize Jewish rabbis as their spiritual leaders--on pain of death.
As other Jews who were persecuted in the Middle East, medieval Europe and Spain at that time, heard of the new Jewish-Khozar kingdom, rumors spread that the Messiah had arrived at long last. There were several consecutive migration waves to Khozaria, via Persia, Greece and Poland.
Pollock believes the traditional Russian anti-Semitism probability stems from that epoch when Hebrew-speaking Khozar raiders attacked Russian villages, killed the men folk, abducted women, forcibly converted them to Judaism and married them in full-fledged religious ceremonies. This also would explain why so many European Jews are blond and blue-eyed, with a slight Mongol slant to their eyes, as well as the total absence of Semitic features among many Israelis of European descent.
The flourishing Jewish-Khozar Kingdom was destroyed in 1239 by the Mongol invasion of Batu Khan.
Following the Mongol invasion and conquest, surviving members of Jewish-Khozar tribes trekked west and settled in Poland, Hungary, Bohemia, Austria, Romania and the Ukraine. How can one find out of he is a "Khozar Jew" or a "Hebrew Jew?" According to Pollock , whose parents came from Poland, if your name is Halperin, Alpert, Halpern, Galpern, etc., you are a 100 percent Khozar. "Alper" means "brave knight" in the Khozar tongue, and the name was granted by the king to the most distinguished warriors. Names like Kaplan, Caplon, Koppel and the like are the positive proof of Khozar descent, according to the scholar. "Kaplan" means "fierce hawk" in the Khozar language. Kogan, Kagan, Kaganovich show aristocratic descent from Kagan-Hagan, King Bulan's chief minister.
Excerpt from the journal of Charles Pickney of South Carolina of the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, regarding the "statement of Benjamin Franklin" at the Convention, concerning Jewish Immigration.
There is a great danger for the United States of America. This great danger is the Jew.
"In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; have depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves; have not assimilated themselves; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which this nation is founded; by objecting to its restrictions, they have built up a State within a State; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal."
For more than 1700 years, they have lamented their sorrowful fate--namely, that they were driven out of their motherland, but gentlemen, if the civilized world today should give them back Palestine and their property, they would immediately find pressing reasons for not returning there. Why? Because they are vampires and vampires cannot live on other vampires--they cannot live among themselves; they must live among Christians and others who do not belong to their race.
"If they are not excluded from the United States, by the Constitution, within less than 100 years, they will stream into this country in such numbers they will rule and destroy us and change our form of Government for which we Americans shed our blood and sacrificed life, property and personal freedom. If the Jews are not excluded, within 200 years, our children will be working in the fields to feed the Jews, while they remain in the Counting House gleefully rubbing their hands."
"I warn you, gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jews forever, your children's children will curse you in your graves. Their ideas are not those of Americans even when they have lived among us for ten generations. The leopard cannot change its spots. The Jews are a danger to this land and if they are allowed to enter they will imperil our institutions--they should be excluded by the Constitution."
