"Europe's Jews aren't Jews at all, Felton wrote. Almost all of them are "Khazars," a long-extinct Turkic tribe from somewhere north of the Caspian Sea."

This is oddly reminiscent of the undergraduate who explained, in an Elizabethan Lit course, that Shakespeare's plays weren't written by Shakespeare at all, they were written by someone else named Shakespeare.

Arthur Koestler (Darkness at Noon) has written a book on the subject of the Khazars and their acceptance of Judaism. It was not well received by the Jewish community (of which he was one).
