As with Christianity, some of the oldest Jewish communities in the world are in Ethiopia.
The Ethiopian Jews are legit and can trace their heritage back via DNA testing. These frauds - who are led by Michelle Obama's cousin - not only do not claim such a heritage but claim that European Jews are illegitmate. This is why the Forward published this crap - to confuse and divide. That is their true agenda: to undermine Judaism and replace it with secular humanism.
for ethiopian Jews that’s a different case — they are genetically descendents of Jews. For many of those mentioned in the article, this is not the case. They are not genetic descendents of Jacob.
