So although Khazars might have been absorbed into the Jewish population it is unlikely that they formed a large percentage of the ancestors of modern Ashkenazim.
Some historians, and most famously the non-historian novelist Arthur Koestler (in The Thirteenth Tribe), have proposed that Jewish Khazars are the ancestors of most or all Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jews, but the idea is controversial and is not supported by mainstream researchers. Recent genetic studies appear to demonstrate that Middle Eastern elements dominate the Ashkenazi male line (see, e.g., Y-chromosomal Aaron), but that the female line appears to have a substantially different history. Some have argued this suggests Middle Eastern men marrying into local European communities [4]meaning that Ashkenazim are either not related to Jewish Khazars or that Jewish Khazars represent only a small element of Ashkenazi ancestry rather than the dominant element suggested by Koestler. The theory for the most part is considered to have been widely discredited. Some historians and scientists recognize the need to specifically test the Khazar theory, rather than generalizing based on studies of other non-Khazar populations.[5]
also anyone can change a wikipedia article. look at the billion dollar zionist propaganda machine

So...Christ (a Jew) killed himself, corrupted His religion and is just a douche bag? If you're going to try to put Jews at odds with Christians, you're going to have to target Christians who haven't ever read the Bible.
You say the Jews killed Christ...Yet Christ was a Jew, as were the 12 apostles, as were the 500 who saw Him after he rose again, as was Paul, as were most of the writers of the New Testament. Kinda throws a kink into your sweeping generalization, doesn't it?
if anything pontius pilate (a ruthless bloodthirsty man) killed jesus and a bunch of other jews, so many that rome told him "man, quit killing so many jews" (paraphrased obviously)
so unless you're completely willing to argue with all the historical AND the scriptural arguments, please, stop spewing this ignorance
