I think they’re referring to Khazars (Turks) of the 10th century. Many believe descendants of Japheth (one of Noah’s sons) essentially hijacked Judaism and the real Semitic Jews, which are descendants of Shem (another son of Noah).

Thanks for that information. I did not know any of that, but it does sort of explain something I have been wondering about for years.

Turkey is an Islamic country, yet modern Turkey was set up by Attaturk and I have been told he was Jewish. I never quite understood how this could be, because I thought the Turks would be anti-Jewish because of Islam.

It always struck me as odd that a man who is considered the Greatest Modern Turk was also Jewish, but what you have told me makes this circumstance sound more understandable.

With the exception of the few surviving Krymchaks (Tatars following normative Judaism) and Karaylar (Tatar Karaites), no groups of Jews claim to be Khazars. Genetic testing shows that the vast majority of European Jews are closely related to other Jews looking at Y-chromosome testing.

Mustafa Kemal (attaturk) was not Jewish at all. Neither were the Young Turks. Antisemites of all stripes like to claim that Young Turks were the grandchildren of Jewish followers of a false Messiah who converted to Islam. But they can only cite a handful of example in a party with tens of thousands of supporters. (For some reason, many Armenian nationalists are emotionally wed to the this lie and no amount of facts matter to them.)
