<<A Lutheran and a Zionist? Did you learn that from Martin Luther's Jews and Their Lies?>> A Lutheran is a Jew??? I have acorns that aren't as nutty as you.

...they are Khazars who converted to Talmudic Judaism in the ninth century. They have no genetic claim as the genetic "heirs of Abraham" because they are Khazar converts. Their title deed is bogus ... Here's some evidence to the contrary: Jewish Population Genetics (NY Times) csulb.edu With a new technique based on the male or Y chromosome, biologists have traced the diaspora of Jewish populations from the dispersals that began in 586 B.C. to the modern communities of Europe and the Middle East. The analysis provides genetic witness that these communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations, evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into Judaism over the centuries. Another finding, paradoxical but unsurprising, is that by the yardstick of the Y chromosome, the world's Jewish communities closely resemble not only each other but also Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese, suggesting that all are descended from a common ancestral population that inhabited the Middle East some four thousand years ago. Origins and diversity of Jewish Y-chromosome haplotypes (ASHG) faseb.org ...Overall the results support the hypothesis that Jewish populations from North Africa, Europe, and West Asia are descended from common Middle-Eastern ancestors. ... Tracing the Cohanim (Nova on PBS) pbs.org About 50 percent of Cohanim in both Sephardic and Ashkenazic populations have an unusual set of genetic markers on their Y chromosome. What is equally striking is that this genetic signature of the Cohanim is rarely found outside of Jewish populations. ... The Y chromosome also keeps track of time. Small mutations occur in the DNA being passed on, and these changes build up with each generation. Like the tick of a clock, the number of these mutations is a measure of time passed. By looking at the differences between Y chromosomes in the Cohanim, researchers can estimate roughly how many generations ago members of the priesthood had a common ancestor. Remarkably, the evidence suggests the Cohanim chromosomes coalesce at a date that corresponds with when the priesthood is thought to have begun.
