Well said by several. I was quite surprised to read some of it. This list is
definitely NOT the place for such material.

Subject: Re: [CARPENTER] Koestler's Kazar "research"
I am really disappointed that this anti-Semitic website is being
promoted
here. No, make that actually pissed off. That someone claiming to be a
scholar has been taken in by this stains academia, if indeed it is the
case that he is a scholar. Bruce, this is contemptuous at best, and you
can use your darkest imagination as to what I would call it at worst.
There has been much legitimate Khazar research, and from what little I've
seen of it, it is very fascinating. But, there is other Khazar "research"
that has been insidiously used to lay the groundwork among some that
Western Jews are descendents of Khazars in their entirety, thus leading to
the "natural" conclusion that they then have no claim to the Holy Land. An
academic intifada if you will.
I suggest that the moderator or whomever is in charge of this list forbids
this garbage from appearing here again. Let's keep this list focused on
genealogy, not hatred.

even though he only has a B.S)
