Khazars may originally have been Edomites (or Hittites). Khazar
tradition holds that they originally came from Mt. Seir in Edom.
The Edomites were the ancient, major enemies of the Jews. John
Hyrcanus' army defeated the neighboring Edomites and forced them
all to *become* Jews (get circumcized or be killed) in 125 BC.
The Edomites then practically took over Judea. The name 'Judea'
was soon changed to 'Idumea' (Edom land). Their kings were the
'Jewish' Edomite Herodian dynasty (who built Herod's Temple).
Many (or most?) Jewish Pharisees (not Saducees) were Edomite Jews.
The Pharisees took over and put the Saducees out of business.
The Jewish Encyclopedia says 'Edom is in modern Jewry.' (Many
parts of the Bible are devoted to cursing all Edomites to death,
including the entire Jewish book of Obadiah. Ban that bad book?)

The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel, from about 500 B.C.:
16:1 Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
16:2 Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
16:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem;
Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan;
thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
WHO ARE THE MODERN JEWS?

In this age of brain-dead media programmed zombies, would it still
be possible for the facts to speak? If so, there is something
worth saying about the modern "Jewish" race, not written by
anti-semites, but by Jews themselves -- and where else but in
The Jewish Encyclopedia! Please excuse me for being so abrupt,
but I had to get your attention. You see, this article is worth
reading because it has some facts that you need to know about the
authenticity of today's Jewish race. The question that must be
asked as well as answered is simple: Are the modern Jews really
the descendants of the ancient people of Israel? The source of
our information is also quite simple: The Jewish Encyclopedia.
Hopefully we will not find any anti-Semitism in the writings of
these Jewish scholars. However, the reader should be forewarned.
Their articles were written long before the age of mass-media
social engineering and do not contain any of the familiar
buzz-words common to today's new views. In other words, brace
yourself for a factual scientific analysis of the racial origins of
the modern Jews. Oh, and should you decide to verify any of these
facts, you will find them in your local library in the 1901-1905
edition of The Jewish Encyclopedia. So, please, do read on.
At the turn of the last century there was great interest stirring
in the science of anthropology. In the wake of this, Jewish
scholarship turned its watchful eye upon itself and began to
examine the racial claims that modern Jews make to the ancestral
heritage of ancient Israel. The results were startling. The
religious community found itself completely alienated by its
scientific counterpart. The scientific method was coming face to
face with religious traditions and there was a great unsettling in
the land. The facts were telling a different story than what had
been heard for centuries in the local synagogue. In his article on
Purity of Race, Joseph Jacobs relates something of the dilemma that
was gripping the Jewish community at this time. He writes: "The
question whether the Jews of today are in the main descended from
the Jews of Bible times, and from them alone, is still undecided"
(Jew. Enc. X (1905), 283). What a startling statement to come from
a Jewish scholar and to be printed in The Jewish Encyclopedia!
However, scholarship must have its reasons. Let us look further to
see what the scientific community had discovered that would warrant
such a radical and perplexing statement.
In his article on Purity of Race, Jacobs gives several important
facts that were forcing anthropologists of his day to reconsider
the modern Jew's racial claims to be Biblical Israel. In the study
of craniometry which involves the measurements of the skull, the
evidence was clearly mounting against the modern Jews. After
extensive samples were taken from a broad spectrum of Jewish groups
world-wide. The conclusion was evident. Jacobs writes; "They are
predominantly brachycephalic, or broad-headed, while the Semites
of Arabic origin are invariably dolichocephalic, or long-headed"
(Jew. Enc. X (1905), 284). Simply put, all known Semites have
historically been long-headed, but the modern Jews were
predominantly round-headed! While Jacobs avoids drawing any
personal conclusions, he relates a prevailing view of his time:
"Some anthropologist are inclined to associate the racial origins
of the Jews, not with the Semites, whose language they adopted, but
with the Armenians and Hittites of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls
and curved noses they appear to have inherited" (Jew. Enc. X
(1905), 284). The findings of some anthropologist were leading
them to conclude that the modern Jews were not in fact Semites
at all, but rather descendants of the ancient Hittites. Jacobs
however was personally hesitant to confess that the Jews were not
the Jews, simply because of the profound implications it imposed.
He also wrote the article on Anthropology and there declared:
"Much turns upon the preliminary question whether contemporary Jews
are of the same race as those mentioned in the Bible" (Jew. Enc. I
(1901), 619). Jacobs obviously realized the implications of the
data he was receiving. It suggested the revolutionary idea that
the Jews were not in fact the Jews. He again presented the
anthropological evidence the cranial measurements of the modern
Jews, stating: "Their skulls are mainly brachycephalic; that is,
the breadth is generally over 80 per cent of the length. This has
been used as an argument against the purity of race, as most
Semites -- like the Arabs and Syrians -- are dolichocephalic, or
long-headed" (Jew, Enc. I (1901), 619). Jacobs avoids any personal
conclusions. He was the former president of The Jewish Historical
Society of England and obviously could not bring himself to break
with the great strength of the "Jewish" tradition.
But Jacobs was not the only Jewish scholar of his day that was
attempting to come to terms with the startling discoveries of his
time. After all, it was the talk of the Jewish community. The
haunting question persisted, Were the Jews really the Jews? In his
article on Craniometry, Jewish scholar Maurice Fishberg provides a
more comprehensive treatment of the "Jewish" cranial findings that
were turning the Jewish world upside down. Moreover, Fishberg was
a licensed medical Doctor and a medical examiner in New York City.
He was clearly an expert in his field and eminently qualified to
comment on the data at hand. Unlike Jacobs who was tied to the
Jewish historical society, Fishberg presents the facts much more
objectively. Forthwith, he declares: "As is at present accepted
by nearly all anthropologists, the shape of the head is the most
stable characteristic of a given race" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 335).
The article by Fishberg is thoroughly educational as well as
informative. His scientific frame of reference is immediately
evident. He includes numerous charts and statistics, a complete
inventory of all the cranial data collected on the Jews to date.
Fishberg also gives an understanding of some of the basic concepts
and terminology. He writes: "The cephalic index is expressed by
multiplying the width of the head by 100 and dividing the product
by the length... The broader or rounder the head is, the higher
its cephalic index, and vice versa. When the cephalic index is
above 80 anthropologist term it 'brachycephalic'; between 75 and
80, 'mesocephalic'; and less than 75, 'dolichocephalic"' (Jew. Enc.
IV (1902), 333). Dr. Fishberg then proceeds to present all the
Jewish cranial findings in classical scientific form. He writes:
"Appended is a table of nearly 3,000 Jewish heads, from various
countries, measured during the last twenty years" (Jew. Enc. IV
(1902), 333). In the table that follows, there is not one Jewish
head that has a cephalic index below 80, and they are taken from
a wide variety of countries spread throughout Europe, Russia, and
Asia Minor. Fishberg comments on the data: "On an examination of
the figures in this table a remarkable uniformity of the cephalic
index of the modern Jews will be noticed... nearly 90 per cent are
between 81.5 and 83... Another remarkable fact is the striking
absence of the dolichocephalic type, which is characteristic of
all the other modern Semitic races" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 334).
Dr. Fishberg also presents a large graphic chart which shows the
cephalic indexes of the Jews by percentage. This chart peaks
upward at the cephalic index measurement of 82, indicating the
average Jewish mean. Fishberg comments on the overall percentage
factor: "What is worthy of notice is the small percentage of
dolichocephaly -- only 1.58 percent -- and the large preponderance
of brachycephaly, 76.48 per cent" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 334). The
Jewish medical examiner also confirms the representative nature of
his findings. He states: "The cephalic indexes from which this
curve was obtained were those of Jews in various parts of the
world" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902L 331). Fishberg then provides a table
of cephalic indexes by gender which shows little significant
difference. He writes: "There appears no perceptible difference
between the cephalic index of Jews and that of Jewesses" (Jew. Enc.
IV (1902), 335). Finally, Fishberg addresses the most obvious and
confronting problem with his findings, specifically how they relate
to the racial claims of the modern Jews. He writes: "The most
important problem suggested by a study of craniometrical results
concerning Jews is the relation of the type head of the modern Jews
to that of the ancient Hebrews and to the modern Semitic skulls.
The pure Semitic skull is dolichocephalic, as may be seen from a
study of the heads of modern Arabs, Abyssinians, Syrians.... The
only way the type of the head may change is by intermixture with
other races. If the ancient Hebrews were of the same stock as
the modern non-Jewish Semites, and if the modern Jews are their
descendants, then a pure dolichocephalic type of head would be
expected among the Jews. As has been seen, all results of
craniometry prove that the Jews are brachycephalic, and that
the dolichocephalic form is only found among them in less than
two percent of the cases" (Jew. Enc. IV (1902), 335). Fishberg
presents an excellent summary of the problem. If the modern Jews
are descendants of the ancient Hebrews and are supposed to be
Semites, then dolichocephalic skulls would be expected. However,
the exact opposite is true. The Jews are predominantly
round-headed. Fishberg provides some other cranial data, but draws
no further conclusions. The factual data he presents, however, is
some of the most incriminating evidence to have ever been collected
against the racial claims of the modern Jews.
Like the shape of the skull, the shape and configuration of the
nose is another important racial index that was recognized by
anthropologist at the turn of the century. It is also another
clear sign against the modern Jew's racial claims to be Biblical
Israel. It turns out that the so called "Jewish nose" is not
Jewish at all, but rather comes from the ancient Hittites, as do
also their round skulls. Dr. Fishberg is also the author of the
article on the Nose. On the importance of this area as a racial
index, the Jewish medical examiner writes: "The relation of the
breadth of the nose to its length, known as the `nasal index,' has
been considered one of the best means of distinguishing the various
races of mankind" (Jew. Enc. IX (1905), 339). Fishberg proceeds
to present a table of the nasal indexes of the modern Jews. Their
marked similarity to one another and peculiarity to others again
predominates in this table. Joseph Jacobs, in his article on
Anthropology, also mentioned the peculiarity of the Jewish nose,
stating: "The nose is generally the characteristic feature of the
Jews, who have, on the average, the longest (77 ram) and narrowest
(34 mm)" (Jew. Enc. I (1901), 619). In attempting to address this
peculiarity, Fishberg presents some of the current thinking
circulating among the anthropologist of his day. He writes:
"Some authors show that this form of nose is not characteristically
Semitic, became the modern non-Jewish Semites, particularly such as
are supposed to have maintained themselves in a pure state, as the
bedouin Arabs, do not possess this characteristic nose at all.
Their noses are as a rule short, straight, and often 'snub'
or concave. Luschan holds that the hook-nose is by no means
characteristic of the Semites, and contends that the number of
arched noses that are found among the Jews is due to ancient
intermixture with the Hittites in Asia Minor. He shows that other
races also, as the Armenian, for instance, who have a good portion
of Hittite blood in their veins, have hook-noses" (Jew. Enc. IX
(1905), 338). Thus, the notorious "Jewish" hook-nose is another
clear sign to the true racial origins of the modern Jews.
According to all the racial indicators recognized by leading
anthropologist at the turn of the century, the modern Jews have
more in common with the ancient Hittites, than with the ancient
Israelites. In another early publication written about the same
time, this statement is found in the article on the Hittites:
"The human type is always brachycephalic [round-headed], with
brow receding sharply and long nose making almost one line with
the sloping forehead. In the sculptures of the Commagene and the
Tyana districts, the nose has a long curving tip, of very Jewish
appearance" (Enc. Brit. XIII (1910), 537). It should be evidently
now that the round-headed hook-nosed Jews of today have a definite
racial connection with the ancient Hittites, remembering or course
what Joseph Jacobs wrote: "Some anthropologists are inclined to
associate the racial origins of the Jews, not with the Semites,
whose language they adopted, but with the Armenians and Hittites
of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls and cuffed noses they appear to
have inherited" (Jew. Enc. X (1903), 264). Moreover, a portrait
of one of these Hittites taken from a sculptural relief found on
the tomb of an Egyptian Pharaoh clearly reveals what looks like a
typical modern Jew (Jew. Enc. VI (1904), 427). The resemblance is
so startling it is uncanny!
In light of this, and all the other scientific evidence, confirmed
and verified, it should be enough to convince any rational person
that the modern Jews are standing on very shaky ground in their
racial claims to be descendants of Biblical Israel. If you don't
believe me just read The Jewish Encyclopedia, remembering of course
that there is nothing anti-Semitic about it. After all, the
Hittites were not Semites at all.
