The speaker claims that many Jews in present-day Israel are not descendants of the Judeans or the lost tribes of Israel, but rather descendants of the Khazars from Eastern Europe. They argue that these Jews cannot trace their ancestry to ancient Palestine and are not Semites. The speaker questions why the history of the Khazars and their kingdom is not taught in schools or included in history textbooks. They suggest doing some cross-checking and mention that even the Jewish encyclopedia acknowledges the existence of the Khazars.

Speaker 0: The Israelites is not Israel. And as Tony and I are both Catholic, and so when we talk about the Israelites that are talked about in the Bible, there is a clear distinction between this prophecy about the Israelites and the government of Israel and white Europeans settling into the holy land. Mhmm. And so when we say this, like, the Israelites, the Israelites in the bible are actually the Palestinian people who have been there for thousands of years, not the white European from Ukraine or Poland or America. The Israelites are the people who were indigenous to that land that lived there for thousands of years, and those are not the people who have Trump wrapped around his finger. It's this, like, settler colonial white Europeans that have settled into the land of the actual Israelites that have either blackmailed him or cut deals with him financially. I mean, we go back to greed. Right? Greed is always, like, a big factor decisions. So Trump, in all senses, is wrapped in intertwined with this government and the Zionist regime and the Rothschilds and the Vanderbilts and the 13 rich families that control the world, basically. Right.

The speaker examines the claim of ethnic cleansing by Israel against Palestinians by presenting population statistics. They highlight the significant decrease in Jewish populations in various Arab countries since 1948, while the Arab population in Israel has increased. The Jewish population in Morocco, Algeria, Indonesia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon has drastically declined, while the Arab population in Israel has grown to over 2 million. The speaker questions who is actually engaging in ethnic cleansing based on these statistics.

DNA tests are allegedly prohibited in Israel because they would reveal that virtually no Ashkenazi Jews are Semitic or have ancestral connection to Palestine. The speaker claims to have met Chinese, Vietnamese, and African Jews, none of whom are native to Palestine. The speaker states that some Ashkenazi Jews are entirely European in their DNA. The speaker recounts being assaulted by a BBC manager who had recently converted to Judaism. The speaker believes that converting to Judaism does not give someone the right to displace Palestinians.

Dante Fortson presents a case for undeniable evidence that Ashkenazi Jews are not simply converts or “proselytes” and argues that historical and scientific sources support that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the ancient Near Eastern Israelites in the way they are often portrayed. He frames the discussion around Genesis 10 and the genealogy of Ashkenaz as a grandson of Japheth, asserting that Ashkenaz is identified among the Gentiles and that the biblical designation aligns with Japheth’s lineage, not Shem. He uses this to challenge the narrative that Ashkenazi claims are purely Khazar or Khazarian. Fortson emphasizes that the claim Ashkenazi are not the original people of the book is not unique to Israelites; he says other sources have made similar points, and he intends to link biblical text with contemporary research. He references the 16th- to 20th-century scholarly conversation around Ashkenazi origins, including the Thirteenth Tribe hypothesis by Arthur Kessler, which argued that Ashkenazi Jews descended from Khazars rather than from Semitic Israelites. He notes that Kessler’s thesis has been controversial and often challenged by urban apologetics. He then introduces Shlomo Sand, who wrote The Invention of the Jewish People, highlighting Sand’s claim that mass conversions and the lack of a continuous, verifiable diaspora narrative complicate the traditional view of Jewish origins. Fortson provides several non-Israelite sources to support the claim that Ashkenazi origins are European rather than Near Eastern. He cites Arthur Kessler’s 1976 book asserting that Ashkenazim are Khazars, and he cites Shlomo Sand’s 2008 work arguing that Jewish origin narratives are largely inventions of modern historiography. He juxtaposes these with references to Khazar history, arguing that the Khazar Empire’s role in European history is often emphasized by various historians but contested by others. He then brings in genetic research to support a non-Near Eastern origin for Ashkenazi Jews. He cites a January 2006 US National Library of Medicine/National Institutes of Health report (Technion and Rambam Medical Center study) showing that four founding mothers who lived in Europe about a thousand years ago were the ancestors of about two-fifths of Ashkenazi Jews, with the remaining 60% showing more heterogeneous origins. He provides links to the study and summarizes that Ashkenazi maternal lineages largely trace to European origins. Fortson also references a 2013 Nature Communications article stating that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews are descended from prehistoric European women, and that Ashkenazi maternal lineages do not originate primarily in the Near East or from Khazar mass conversions. He quotes the Nature Communications report, which notes that female ancestors converted to Judaism in the North Mediterranean around two thousand years ago and later in West and Central Europe, and that the findings contradict the notion of a Near Eastern or Khazar origin for most Ashkenazi mitochondrial lineages. He brings in a 2014 LA Times/AP report concluding that all Ashkenazi Jews alive today can trace their roots to a founder group of about 330 people who lived during the Middle Ages, a finding tied to a genome sequencing study published in Nature Communications. He emphasizes that this origin narrative aligns with European roots for Ashkenazi Jews rather than Levantine origins, while Sephardic Jews are described as originating from regions around the Mediterranean (Portugal, Spain, the Middle East, and North Africa). Fortson cites the Encyclopedia Britannica entry on Ashkenazim and its distinction between Ashkenazim and Sephardim, noting that Ashkenazim historically lived in the Rhineland and later spread to Poland, Lithuania, and Russia, with cultural and linguistic differences such as Yiddish usage. He uses this to argue that Ashkenazi identity involves specific historical, linguistic, and geographic contexts that diverge from a simple Near Eastern origin. A recurring theme is the contrast between biblical/literary claims of lineage and modern scientific evidence. He discusses Jew FAQ’s explanation of who is considered a Jew (mother-line descent or formal conversion) to illustrate the complexity and exclusivity of Jewish identity, arguing that even within Jewish sources there is a recognition of a group that is not easily identified as originated from the Near East. Fortson repeatedly asserts that the presence of European ancestry in Ashkenazi lineages, and the visual mismatch between biblical assumptions and genetic/population studies, undermines claims that Ashkenazi origins are exclusively Semitic or Near Eastern. He argues that these conclusions are supported by multiple independent sources, including government and academic outlets, and that opponents who rely on a Levantine-centric narrative often fail to address these receipts. Throughout, Fortson challenges what he describes as a promotional narrative from urban apologetics that labels questions about Ashkenazi origins as antisemitic or racist. He contends that scientists and historians outside the Israelite-centered frame have produced consistent findings that Ashkenazi origins are European, and that the biblical Ashkenaz is linked to Japheth’s line in Genesis, rather than to a simple Near Eastern origin story. He invites viewers to examine the linked sources in chat and description, urging critical examination of receipts and encouraging continued exploration of the topic. In addition to the main discussion, Fortson plugs forthcoming content: a video on the Ravi Zacharias scandal and a Berean TV segment addressing ten billion cities in the coming kingdom, as well as commentary on doctrinal issues in Christianity and the interactions among various apologetics communities. He closes by reiterating that patrons will receive app access early and promoting ongoing fundraising and publication efforts, while stressing the importance of examining sources to understand the origins and identity of Ashkenazi Jews.

The speaker asserts that every Israeli prime minister has a fake name and that many changed their original European Jewish surnames to sound more Jewish or Middle Eastern. The speaker claims various examples: - David Ben Gurion: original name Gruen; changed to sound more Jewish and Middle Eastern. - Benjamin Netanyahu: real name Milkovsky (also stated as Malikowski in places); the speaker urges checking to verify Milkovsky. - Moshe Sharet: original name Chertok. - Levi Eshkol: original name Shklonik; changed to Eshkol. - Yigal Allon: original name Peikovits. - Golda Meir: real name Mabovich (not Golda Meir). - Yitzhak Rabin: real name Rubitsov. - Yitzhak Shamir: original name Yezernitsky; noted as being on a British wanted poster in Palestine for terrorism. - Shimon Peres: original name Persky. - Ehud Barak: original name Brog; changed to Barak. - Ariel Sharon: original name Shinerman; changed to Sharon. - Yair Lapid: original name Lample; changed to Lapid. The speaker emphasizes that Israelis are European Jews who do not come from Palestine and argues they want others to believe they are indigenous to the land; thus, they changed names to obscure their Eastern European origins. The pattern highlighted is that these are Eastern European names, not Palestinian or Middle Eastern, implying a claim about origins and ethnicity. The discussion centers on name changes as a deliberate act to redefine identity, with multiple examples presented to illustrate the point.

Someone challenged the existence of Palestine as a sovereign state, but that argument is flawed because many countries gained statehood recently. The Bible is often used to support the claim of Jewish people to the land, but it also mentions a preexisting Palestinian king in the book of Genesis. This suggests that a Palestinian state existed before the Jewish presence. Although it didn't cover the entire region, it included a significant portion of southwestern Israel. The real issue here is that some people don't want Palestinians to exist, as evidenced by articles suggesting they should be driven into the Sinai Desert.

Speaker 0 asserts that Bezalel Smotrich and Ben Gavir are “literally talking about exterminating the entire population of Gaza.” Speaker 1 counters that they are not talking about extermination. Speaker 0 insists the statements are brazen, up front, and what they actually want to do. Speaker 0 adds that Hamas is involved in a separate context. Speaker 0 says, “The West Bank had nothing to do with what happened on October 7, but they're annexing that land anyway. They're raining terror on innocent people, innocent Palestinians.” Speaker 0 concedes, “I am willing to admit, because it's the truth, that what Hamas did on October 7 was a fucking atrocity,” specifically mentioning killing innocent people. Speaker 1 challenges acknowledgement of atrocities against civilians in Gaza. Speaker 0 asks about a hospital being tapped; Speaker 1 responds that it’s an old terrorist trick and they do it “all the time.” Speaker 0 asks whether the IDF's action was wrong. Speaker 1 concedes, “I'm sure they have committed what we would call war crimes, as every army does in every war.” Speaker 0 notes, “Including our own.” Speaker 1 agrees, giving the Civil War example: Sherman burned Atlanta and Vad, arguing that despite brutality, the North were the good guys fighting slavery, and also noting Israel is fighting to survive and is the front line in the Western world. Speaker 0 disputes this, saying much of the problems in the Middle East come from an expansionist policy and that if Israel wasn’t trying to continue expanding, they would not be dealing with the enemies they’re dealing with. Speaker 1 disagrees that they ever were expanding, arguing they “were attacked” and that they “never been trying to expand.” Speaker 0 claims Israel is trying to annex the West Bank, southern Lebanon, and Syria, and argues they have succeeded in doing so. Speaker 1 says these are lands where they were attacked from when Israel became a country in 1947; he claims Israel said, “we will accept half a loaf,” and asserts they had as much right to that land as anybody, with a historical presence since a thousand BC when King David had a lineage. Speaker 0 dismisses this lineage-based argument as irrelevant to the present. Speaker 1 counters that it’s relevant, and asserts that the notion of wiping out innocent people merely because one’s ancestors lived there centuries ago is not acceptable. The conversation ends with Speaker 0 calling Palestinians colonizers, and Speaker 1 arguing they are not colonizers; they assert that Israel is annexing land, which, in their view, is described as colonization.

The speaker argues that the indigeneity of Palestinians to the land of Palestine does not entitle them to their own country within Israel. They claim almost every country was conquered, citing Canada and Australia as examples where indigenous populations like the Inuits and Aboriginals are not allowed to create their own countries. The speaker states that in 1948, Jews won a war against Arabs and Palestinians on the land, and therefore, it is now their country. They assert that no other country is expected to separate and give land to indigenous people. The speaker believes that demanding this of Israel is a result of Jew hatred, as such demands are not made of countries like the US, Mexico, Canada, or Australia.

The speaker claims that Israel views the October 7th attacks as an opportunity for ethnic cleansing in Gaza to solve a demographic problem. This allegation is based on data in the Israeli press, where, according to the speaker, Israelis have openly discussed this idea. The speaker states that the population of Gaza is largely composed of descendants from the 1948 ethnic cleansing, and that there was another massive ethnic cleansing after the 1967 war in the West Bank. The speaker suggests that a third attempt at ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not surprising. According to the speaker, literature on the creation of Israel thoroughly documents that ethnic cleansing was discussed by Zionists from the beginning, as it was seen as necessary to create a greater Israel. The speaker rejects the idea that Palestine was a land without people for a people without land.

Some shady shit has been going on with my AncestryDNA results. I've got to show you how they've been changing over time. When I first did the test, my results told me 45% Levant, which makes sense because I am Palestinian. And when I broke down my results, my dad contributed 25% of that Levant DNA. I also got my dad tested and his results had 50% Levant. Fast forward to now, where they've updated their database again, is in theory supposed to make your results more accurate. They're telling me that I'm now only 21% Levant and that my dad is contributing 0% Levant to my DNA. They've changed him from 50% to 22% Levant. And suddenly, he's got all of this extra Arabian Peninsula in him, which is quite fitting because when you hear Zionists spew propaganda, they love to say that Palestinians are not native to the land and that we all are Arabs that came from the Arabian Peninsula. AncestryDNA is owned by Blackstone. And who's calling the shots at Blackstone? This guy, Steven Schwarzman. And he just so happens to credit a trip to Israel for inspiring his entrepreneurial spirit. He's also the kind of guy that will spend money to push his agenda. In this article by the New York Post, they talk about how he was said to be using both his clout and very thick wallet to fund a counter offensive to the anti Israel protests at Yale. Thankfully, I wasn't using AncestryDNA to learn about my ethnicity. I already know I'm fucking Palestinian. I used them to get a DNA file that I could upload onto other websites and learn about my ancient ancestry. From all the way back to the Bronze Age, my DNA ties me to the land of Palestine and The Levant more than anywhere else in the world. Canaanites are my number one match for the Bronze Age, then Phoenicians in the Iron Age, then The Levant again during late antiquity, and then again during the Middle Ages. And when you look at my dad's results, he scores even higher for The Levant. So fuck Ancestry and their bullshit results. I've officially deleted my DNA and my dad's DNA from their website. Those bastards are not gonna have my info anymore. Lord knows what they're doing with our DNA results anyway. Freaks me out. Please don't give them your DNA and please don't give them your money.

The Palestinian people have a diverse genetic makeup, with influences from ancient Anatolian, Natufian, and Levant Neolithic populations. They also share genetic similarities with Bronze Age Canaanites, with Samaritans being the most similar. Despite historical connections, modern Palestinians are not genetically related to the ancient Philistines, who are closer to Greeks and Italians. Throughout history, the region saw various conquests and migrations, leading to foreign admixture among Palestinians from groups like Egyptians, North Africans, and Ottomans. This genetic diversity reflects the rich heritage of the Palestinian people.

My name is Sônia Bloomfield, an anthropology professor specializing in Israel's history, society, and culture. The Palestinians originated from the ancient Philistines, a Greek people who settled in Gaza after being expelled from Egypt. Over time, they assimilated into other cultures and ceased to exist. In 137 AD, the Romans destroyed Israel and named the land Palestine, after the long-gone Philistines. Until 1967, the term "Palestinian" referred to anyone living in the region, including Jews, Arabs, and Africans. However, after the Soviet Union and terrorists claimed that only Arabs were Palestinians, the narrative changed. The truth is that the land was abandoned and neglected until the Jews revitalized it.

The speaker argues that American Jews are wrestling with a category they inherited from our European ancestors about 250 years ago. As Jews moved into modern nation-states and pursued secular jobs and secular education, they reimagined Judaism to fit in. Judaism was transformed into something like a Protestant-style religion: a framework that worked well for a long period, enabling Jews to participate in broader society. The speaker emphasizes that Jews are not merely a religion, nor are we a race or ethnicity. Instead, Jews are a nation, civilization, tribe, peoplehood, and above all, a family. Therefore, a young person in America who thinks Judaism is simply a Protestant religion risks viewing the 7,000,000 Jews in Israel as merely co-religionists. If that is the lens, the natural question becomes: what do you owe to them? It would be like telling a mainline, very progressive Protestant in Berkeley, California that they must care about a Pentecostal in Brazil. In that framing, it doesn’t make sense, because it’s a category error. The speaker clarifies that the people in Israel are not merely co-religionists; they are siblings. The danger lies in thinking of Israel's Jewish population primarily through the lens of shared religious practice. When that happens, there is a risk of sliding into anti-Zionism, because the fundamental, personal connection to Israel—as siblings within a broader Jewish family—gets diminished or lost if Israel is reduced to a subset of co-religionists who share a particular religious outlook or social-justice framework. Key contrasts highlighted include the historical adaptation that treated Judaism as a Protestant-style religion to fit into secular, modern-state life, versus the present understanding that Jewish identity encompasses nationhood, civilization, and family ties. The speaker suggests that recognizing Israel as part of a family, not just a co-religionist community, is essential to maintaining connections that are not solely defined by theological agreement or social-justice alignment but by a broader shared Jewish peoplehood.

Many Jews in Palestine today come from Eastern Europe, specifically from a group called the Khazars. The Khazars were a nation that not many people know about. These Eastern European Jews cannot trace their ancestry back to ancient Jews in Palestine. They are not semites and never have been.

The speaker claims that Eastern European Jews, who constitute 92% of the world’s Jewish population, were originally Khazar. The Khazars are described as a warlike tribe from deep in Asia who were so formidable that even neighboring peoples drove them out of Asia into Eastern Europe. To explain Eastern Europe, the speaker states that the Khazar Kingdom was the largest country in Europe, spanning 800,000 square miles, and that there were no Russia or other countries at that time. The Khazars allegedly loaned 40,000 soldiers to other monarchs when they went to war, illustrating their immense power. The speaker notes that the Khazars were phallic worshipers, labeling this as filthy, and says this was part of their pagan or barbarian religious practices. According to the account, the king grew distrustful of the kingdom’s degeneracy and chose a monotheistic faith—either Christianity, Islam, or what is known today as Judaism (described pejoratively as “communism” here). By randomly selecting a faith with a spinning top, the king purportedly chose Judaism and established it as the state religion. He then sent to the Talmudic schools and brought up thousands of rabbis, opening synagogues and schools across the Khazar kingdom. The size of the population is given as 800,000 people in a territory of 800,000 square miles, with the speaker asserting there were perhaps 10 to 20,000,000 people who became Jews under this system. A central claim is that none of these Jews had an ancestor who ever paid toll in the holy land, extending this assertion back not only to the Old Testament but to “the beginning of time.” The overall narrative suggests that the modern Jewish population in Eastern Europe arose from the Khazar conversion to Judaism, resulting in a large, mono-religious community in that region.

Speaker 0 explains that Netanyahu evokes Jewish history in his religious text and sentiment to rally support for attacks, and that Nurode explains this increases right-wing sentiment in Israel. Speaker 1 notes that when Netanyahu announced the offensive against Iran, he did not just discuss threats but invoked Jewish history, drawing parallels with Jews rising up against Persian enslavement more than two thousand years ago. Speaker 2 adds: “My brothers and sisters, in two days, we celebrate the holiday of Purim. Two thousand five hundred years ago in ancient Persia, an enemy rose against us with the exact same goal of destroying our people.” Speaker 1 continues: “A day later, Netanyahu invoked scripture describing the government in Tehran as Amalek, the ultimate enemy in the Old Testament, the enemy whose memory and existence must be erased.” Speaker 2: “We read in this week's Torah portions. Remember what Amalek did to you. We remember and we act.” Speaker 1 remarks that this is not the first time Netanyahu has used the Amalek reference to justify violence against an adversary. In fact, his reference to Palestinians as Amalek was cited during hearings in the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice. Speaker 0 states that inciting religious fervor is not unique to Netanyahu; it’s a popular tactic among right-wing and populist leaders to rally support, and it often pays off. She cites opinion polls to illustrate how widespread these sentiments are: a Hebrew University poll on Israel’s war on Gaza found 75% of Jewish Israelis believe there are no innocence in Gaza; a survey by the Institute for National Security released last month shows 78% of Israelis consider Iran a serious threat. Speaker 1 adds that mixing scripture with mainstream politics is playing with fire and has led to talk of a greater Israel spanning from the Euphrates to the Nile River and erasing existing Arab countries in the process, an ambition referenced not only by Netanyahu but also by the head of the opposition in Israel.

A speaker identifying themselves as Jewish with critical thinking skills questions where information comes from and asks to see sources. They reference opening the Torah and reading the story of how Jewish people ended up in Israel, then challenge the audience about Abraham’s origins and knowledge of his story. They state that Abraham comes from what is now present-day Iraq, and they question what the story with Abraham, the Jewish people, and God is. They assert that Jewish people are not indigenous to Israel and recount a version of the biblical narrative: God speaks to Abraham and offers a present of “free land” for the Jewish people, telling Abraham to take them to a land filled with milk and honey, and that Abraham leads the people there. They ask what happens when they get to Israel and note that there were already people there. They claim that God told Abraham to slaughter and expel those people from the land, identifying those people as the indigenous inhabitants. The speaker condemns what they describe as others on the app presenting this information as fact, expressing concern that Jewish people themselves may not know their own history or the history of their religion, culture, and land. They juxtapose this with broader historical tragedies, suggesting that if readers have wondered what they would have done during the Holocaust, civil rights movement, slavery, and Canada’s genocide of indigenous people, they should look at what people are doing in the present. They argue that worldwide tragedies and genocide continue because people are afraid to speak out due to social repercussions. Throughout, the speaker emphasizes the following core claims: - Abraham originated from a region corresponding to present-day Iraq, not Israel. - The narrative involves God presenting “free land” to the Jewish people and Abraham leading them to this land. - Upon arrival, the land already had indigenous inhabitants. - The divine instruction attributed to God to Abraham was to slaughter and expel those indigenous people. - Many individuals on the app propagate incorrect historical claims as fact, and some Jewish people may lack awareness of their own historical and religious background. - The speaker connects current fear of speaking out to historical and ongoing acts of mass violence and genocide, urging people to speak out rather than stay silent. The speaker ends by linking contemporary social fear to historical injustices, calling for greater courage to speak out.

Speaker 0 begins by stating that there are about 16,000,000 Jews in total worldwide, with 8,000,000 living in the area being discussed, and the remainder living mainly in New York, South Florida, and a few other places. He notes that this is a small population with historical and biblical connections to the land, and asks if such a connection exists. Speaker 1 responds that Bibi’s family lived in Eastern Europe and that there is no evidence they ever lived in the land, and that he isn’t religious. He questions whether there is a true ancestral link. Speaker 0 asks whether there is evidence of any genuine ancestral connection. Speaker 1 asks if there is a family tree for Bibi, and if not, whether anyone has one. Speaker 0 asks how they know, and Speaker 1 elaborates that the point is to establish an ancestral connection to the land. He notes that there has been a practice of Judaism and a connection to the language, suggesting that Bibi has fought for the land, and that his family has fought for it. He raises an obvious, meaningful question: where does this right come from? He explains that many people in the territory Israel controls, particularly in the West Bank, have genetic evidence of having been there for thousands of years, with many identified as Christians for two thousand years, and even if some did not practice Judaism or were Samaritan or pre-Islam, the question remains: how do they compare in terms of rights to someone whose ancestors lived in Latvia or Poland and were Jewish? He questions the basis of being “Jewish” by faith, language, or Torah. Speaker 0 challenges the question, asking how we know if Bibi’s ancestors ever lived there, and expresses confusion about what Speaker 1 is trying to determine. Speaker 1 emphasizes that a claim of rights based on ancestral presence is significant because many claims hinge on whether ancestors lived there, whether money flowed, and whether displacement occurred. He reiterates that it is not a theoretical issue like a grandparent’s distant past, but a real question of who has the right to be there. Speaker 0 remains unable to fully process Speaker 1’s point.
