You are very mistaken, sir. I have read Sands book and it is a good book which dispels several zionist/jewish myths… having said that, when it comes to genetics and such, Sand is way out of league. All recent genetic studies confirm the existence of Jews as a related set of ethnic groups. Mainly Ashkenazim, Sephardim, and the Mizrahim.
One of the most recent genetic studies on Ashkenazim Jews was the “2014 study by Carmi et al. published by Nature Communications found that the Ashkenazi Jewish population originates from mixing between Middle Eastern and European peoples, and that Ashkenazi Jews are roughly half European and half Middle Eastern. According to the authors, that mixing likely occurred some 600–800 years ago, followed by rapid growth and genetic isolation (rate per generation 16–53%;). The study found that all Ashkenazi Jews descent from around 350 individuals, and that the principal component analysis of common variants in the sequenced AJ samples, confirmed previous observations, namely, the proximity of Ashkenazi Jewish cluster to other Jewish, European and Middle Eastern populations”.
http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140909/ncomms5835/full/ncomms5835.html
In another recent study I checked, one of the oldest jewish communities in Europe, i.e, in Italy, was found to be genetically closer to other Jewish populations, including iraqi and iranian jews, than to the italians they’ve lived amongst for 2000 plus years.
In this respect, Sand is simply wrong.

Right-wing nazi-rag KyivPost has a miserable coverage of same piece. “Agence France-Presse: Russia’s guy says Ukraine run by ‘miserable Jews'” Zhakharchenko is “Russia’s guy,” his picture under the headline with a totally unrelated caption, subtitled by the first paragraph of the AFP fake “news” (sic!)“Ukraine’s pro-Russian rebel chief on Monday branded the country’s leaders “miserable” Jews in an apparent anti-Semitic jibe.”, and a link to Yahoo news reproducing the AFP piece in full.
https://tinyurl.com/nes4o9g
Zionazi thieves stole the word “semitic” to mean “Jews,” when in fact it comprehends many other languages and peoples. Zhakharchenko’s AFP phony “anti-Semitic jibe” would be insulting to all these many peoples.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_people
“…Semitic peoples and their languages, in ancient historic times (between the 30th and 20th centuries BC), covered a broad area which encompassed what are today the modern states and regions of Iraq, Syria, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestinian territories, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and the Sinai Peninsula and Malta…”
…The word “Semite” and most uses of the word “Semitic” relate to any people whose native tongue is, or was historically, a member of the associated language family.[35][36] The term “anti-Semite”, however, came by a circuitous route to refer most commonly to one hostile or discriminatory towards Jews in particular…[37]
Yet another historical theft by the so-called “chosen” crooks.

Lone Wolf@19 You are 100% correct. The over used term anti-semite is nothing but a slur to disparage anyone the jews don’t like. If anyone takes the time to actually look at Zakhachenkos quote they will see he said the people in question are poor examples of the jewish race. I dispute the “race” but do agree with the statement. israeli geneticists have shown that the majority of of jews are descendants of the Khazars which sort of negates any claim to Palestine. Can Roman Catholics from Peru lay claim to Rome based on nothing more than a religious belief? I’d like to think not. This is nothing more than a smear campaign against someone who speaks the truth.

So let me get this straight — in the alternate universe where you pro-Russian anti-American commentators reside, the so-called “Junta” in Kiev is concomitantly Jewish and Nazi. Is that correct? Got it. It makes perfect sense. Just throw any old worn-out trope of an accusation at the wall and hope it all sticks. It doesn’t matter if the layers of refuse contradict in any way. When have contradictions ever gotten in your way? Never, that’s when — and they never will.

“All recent genetic studies confirm the existence of Jews as a related set of ethnic groups. Mainly Ashkenazim, Sephardim, and the Mizrahim”. Christ, couldn’t resist the illogic here.
All recent genetic studies would also “confirm” the existence of Hindus “as a related set of ethnic groups” tending from the Indian subcontinent. But no one save perhaps Mr. Modi would confuse Hinduism with the Indian nation.
All genetic evidence shows is the likely geo-demographic origin of the religion. That would be in the same ethnographic region as the ancient Canaanites and Phoenicians, of which the ancient Hebrews were a branch of, distinguished only by the adoption of a different, new and ‘godless’ (because it refused idol representation) religion that 600 years later was put into writing, founding Judaism. That’s based on the current ISRAELI archaeology.
The Hebrews were basically Canaanites whose educated layer switched religions from Baal to an invisible ‘god’. This explains why we hear so much wailing in the Bible about “backsliders” into Baal worship, as the common person could always switch religions while the new religion became the preserve of a priestly caste of “judges” etc. The mass desire for a “king” was also a symptom of backsliding. Israeli archeology reveals a sudden change 12~11th century BCE in the structure of housing, from that of the “palace culture” common in the Mediterranean at that time, featuring one lord’s big palace surrounded by much smaller structures, to that featuring no such lordly palaces, but only larger housing structures of generally equal size, usually arraigned around a semi-circular “commons”.
This corresponds to what is theorized as a big change in the Earth’s climate, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Bronze_Age_collapse
Likely, the agriculture that supported the palace culture collapsed in the climate change. But the idea that Hebrewism was the religious ideology of a leveling, egalitarian social revolution that abolished both kings and their idols, and replaced it with religious ideas likely spread by Egyptian refugee followers of Akhenaten’s (1352 B.C. to 1336 B.C) monotheistic sun god cult centered around Aten but later violently repressed by Egypt’s priesthood caste (where have I heard this story before?), in a region long under Egyptian influence, is a far more interesting story than the Biblical original, and certainly more interesting than racial-geneticist reductions.

Genetic Roots of the Ashkenazi Jews
Most Ashkenazi Jews, traditionally believed to have descended from the ancient tribes of Israel, may in fact be maternally descended from prehistoric Europeans.
By Kate Yandell | October 8, 2013
The majority of Ashkenazi Jews are descended from prehistoric European women, according to study published today (October 8) in Nature Communications. While the Jewish religion began in the Near East, and the Ashkenazi Jews were believed to have origins in the early indigenous tribes of this region, new evidence from mitochondrial DNA, which is passed on exclusively from mother to child, suggests that female ancestors of most modern Ashkenazi Jews converted to Judaism in the north Mediterranean around 2,000 years ago and later in west and central Europe.
The new findings contradict previous assertions that Ashkenazi mitochondrial lineages originated in the Near East, or from mass conversions to Judaism in the Khazar kingdom, an empire in the north Caucasus region between Europe and Asia lasting from the 7th century to the 11th century whose leaders adopted Judaism. “We found that most of the maternal lineages don’t trace to the north Caucasus, which would be a proxy for the Khazarians, or to the Near East, but most of them emanate from Europe,” said coauthor Martin Richards, an archaeogeneticist at the University of Huddersfield in the U.K.
Richards and colleagues’ story “seems reasonable,” said Harry Ostrer, a human geneticist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University in New York City who was not involved in the study. “It certainly fits with what we understand about Jewish history.”
The Ashkenazi Jews make up the majority of Jews today and most recently have ancestry in central or Eastern Europe. Previous work has demonstrated that just four mitochondrial types, pass down from four mothers, account for 40 percent of variation in Ashkenazi Jews’ mitochondrial DNA, and some researchers have published evidence of Near Eastern origins for these Ashkenazi mitochondrial types.

No, you don’t get it. Where is the contradiction between being Jewish and Nazi? Ever heard of a Zionist entity so-called “Israel”? They have an open-air concentration camp, where they keep people in sub-human conditions. “The idea,” said Dov Weisglass, adviser to Ehud Olmert, “is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger.” Where do you think Zionists got the idea? Isn’t that what the Nazis did with forced labor in concentration camps, keep them on a “diet”? What is the “chosen crooks” BS but racial hierarchy? What’s the “Jewish state” but social Darwinism? What is the “Greater Israel” and the “promised land” crap but another form of “Lebensraum”? As you can see, it is possible to be Jewish and Nazi, no contradiction whatsoever. Same with the Ukinazis, just different location.

“israeli geneticists have shown that the majority of of jews are descendants of the Khazars which sort of negates any claim to Palestine.”
BS. There is one such study, not very convincing and a dozen other recent studies that refute the Khazar theory.
Ashkenazi Jews cluster half way between Europeans and Middle Eastern
populations bc they are a mix of basically the 2.
The Jews had already spread throughout the Mediterranean basin around
the time of Alexander. Their midle eastern ancestry need not have been
from Palestine but could be and often was from several other areas.
The more mobile jews, merchants, bankers, slave traders, etc, moved to
Europe, imbalance in the number of men and women forced them initially
to marry European women. That’s how the Ashkenazi came into being.
SOMEBODY(15)
” Basic rule: People define themselves and should not let other people define them. Or the other way round: We should try not to stereotype people according to our prejudices and fantasies.”
“Neither Poroshenko nor Yatseniuk are Jewish as they do not define themselves as such.”
UHH?? YOU are obviously very ignorant of Jewish evolutionary strategies,such as crypto-judaism.
Poroshenko and Yatseniuk have both been described as hiding their
Jewish ancestry in Israeli media.
It may be that they are indeed fully absorbed but given their connections and histories, it is very possible, indeed likely, that they CHOOSE to HIDE their ancestry, especially in a country as the Ukraine, where Jewish comissars were heavily responsible for some horrific crimes against the Ukrainian people, not long ago.
I have to say that though the Jews are massively overrepresented in
this new Ukrainian government, many of the people in PeteCarroll’s list are probably NOT Jewish. For instance, though it appears Tymoshenko is partly jewish, there is NO evidence for folks such as Klitschko or Yarosh.

“Jews, he notes, are one of the most distinctive population groups in the world because of our history of ENDOGAMY. Jews — Ashkenazim in particular — are relatively homogeneous despite the fact that they are spread throughout Europe and have since immigrated to the Americas and back to Israel. The Inquisition shattered Sephardi Jewry, leading to far more incidences of intermarriage and to a less distinctive DNA.”

It prompted me to check Col. Cassad, nice map of the Debaltsevo area, very detailed report as of yesterday. UAF is in serious trouble if the Krasny Pakhar foothold expands, or the NAF puts pressure on Svetlodarsk. Getting across that lake could be a problem, ltd. exposed rtes.

I get the impression that Russian bloggers use slang more than Anglophone bloggers do, which makes it kind of difficult for us Russian speakers who didn’t grow up in Russia. I have the same problem with Der Spiegel: it uses a lot of terms that aren’t proper German. I actually find that annoying in a mainstream magazine, but then, I guess they want to show how hip they are.
Col. Cassad is always wary of being overconfident. There was another report today that the Debaltsevo cauldron has been sealed, but I have lost count of how many times that has been reported. Given that the 4th mobilization has flopped, and that with each successive mobilization, fewer people show up at the draft board if they get a draft notice, it makes sense for NAF not to advance as quickly as they could. The majority of Ukrainians have lost their appetite for war on Donbass and are apparently growing suspicious of their media. By the way, do you know of any other civil war in which people were drafted? If one side needs to draft people whereas the other can get by with volunteers, I think that’s a sign of trouble in itself.
And here’s the other video from that Col. Cassad post: We have all gone mad (with Eng subs but graphic). The song is a cover of Mother, we’ve all gone mad by Kino.

“Clip” may not be a bad translation of “rolik”. Anyway, I looked up “ролик” in Russian Wiktionary, and one of the meanings of the word given there is “video”. Apparently, the word first started acquiring this meaning in the 1990s, as the Russian term for trailer (as in a trailer of a film).
Yes, it is a very good video. “Perfect” is not an exaggeration. Judging by other things he has uploaded at Youtube, the video’s creator is a musician, so he has a fine aesthetic sense. (He is into dubstep.) I don’t think Americans have ever produced “propaganda” that is this well done. Russians and (the original) Nazis are/were the best at creating propaganda. American propaganda is very crude and bland, even if it’s done by expats like Alfred Hitchcock or Fritz Lang. And don’t get me started on Steven Spielberg or Kathryn Bigelow.

I think the US Civil War is kind of exceptional in this respect, since there was a clear distinction between slave states and free states. The way the US Constitution set up the United States, the United States were a civil war waiting to happen. In most civil wars, there is no pre-existing demarcation between one geographical region and another based on regions taking markedly different positions on a critical issue. The Russian Civil War which followed the Bolshevik Revolution is an example.

“There is no such thing as “the Jewish people” in the sense of a racial or national determination. There are people of various nationalities and racial heritages who assert that they follow, or their ancestors followed, religious Jewish believes.”
Really? You provide a link to a book as proof of your claim and then completely fail to mention that the hypothesis it puts forth isn’t widely accepted because the evidence doesn’t support it, not least of all the DNA records, as demonstrated in the very link you yourself provide?
In a general sense I would actually agree that group identities are largely artificial constructs. But I would think a German would understand that, since ‘Germany’ as a coherent entity isn’t even 150 years old. Before that it was collection of dozens of duchies that broadly shared a common language and culture, but all of which had a distinctive individual identities. Identities many were loath to part with, especially the Prussians. As another, even clearer example France has been a single entity under a central government for a lot longer than Germany but even as recently as the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars there were significant parts of Napoleons armies, drawn from different parts of France, that would have had significant trouble being mutually intelligible to each other. Napoleon himself wasn’t even French, he was Corsican by birth and Italian by lineage.
As yet another example that great spreader of Hellenism, Alexander, wasn’t Greek. He was Makedonian. Of course even saying the ‘Greek’ city-states were a single culture is misleading, but it’s true they viewed each other as having much in common and separate from the ‘barbaroi’, but Makedonia would have existed in some vaguely defined middle-ground between the two, the primitive distant cousin to the north, never truly an equal of ‘proper’ Greeks like Athens and Corinth.
Or take the Japanese. Genetically they’re basically Korean colonists, with some mixing with native Jomon peoples. Few Japanese would seriously claim descent from a sun goddess, yet you can’t say there isn’t a defacto distinctive Japanese culture.

How many non-Jewish kids are allowed to go to Jewish schools? And if I told Jews to keep their “fat, long stinky noses” out of my people, that would surely be considered the vilest form of “anti-Semitism”. If Jews minded their own business, no one would have any need to constantly talk about them and their religion. But they don’t. Everywhere Jews go they do everything they can to control and destroy the people they are living among. Judaism is different to the thousands of other religions out there. Other religions are based on belief, not race. There is no such thing as the Catholic people, the Muslim people, the Buddhist people or the Hindu people. Anyone can convert to these religions so long as you believe in them, regardless of your racial origin. Judaism is unique in that it is a religion based on racial ancestry, rather than being a universal religion based on religious beliefs. Being a Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist etc. has nothing to do with ancestry. If you believe in the religion it is open to anyone. Judaism is primarily a racial unity movement for one particular ethnic group rather than a religion based on belief like all others. The purpose of the Jewish religion is to advance the interests of their own racial group at the expense of everyone else. For example, when Jews believe that all non-Jews exist only to serve them, this is something non-Jews have a reason to be concerned about, especially when Jews are in so many powerful positions in their countries. Would you like to be ruled over by people who believe that they are superior to you and that the only reason you exist is to serve them? Last time I checked, Jews didn’t like it too much when the National Socialists in Germany said similar things about them.
Likewise, when Jews constantly stir up wars all over the world and get other countries to attack their “enemies”, this is something non-Jews have a right to be angry about. Why should thousands of American and European soldiers die in wars for Israel? Why should we be the suckers who the Jews send off to die in their Zionist wars while they safely sit at home in Israel? If Jews are constantly stirring up wars so that they can take over countries for themselves (as in Ukraine), this is something Ukrainians and other non-Jews have a right to be concerned about since it is their families being killed as a result of Jewish greed and lust for power. Judaism and Jewish culture essentially revolves around hatred for all people not from your own racial group, and this is why Jews are universally disliked everywhere they go. If Jews steal trillions of dollars from our people and cause our entire economies to collapse, don’t we have a right to be angry about that? The Jewish religion teaches that it is a mitzvah (blessing) to cheat a non-Jew out of his money and forbids Jews from returning it unless it is suspected he might find out. There are many other examples. Jews go into every other country constantly trying to screw over the native people, and then are surprised when the native people react back against them. Here’s a new idea: instead of constantly trying to screw over everyone else and then reacting with shock when the inevitable backlash comes, try treating other people as equals in a decent way, and maybe they’ll respond in kind. But I suppose the “Chosen People” can never view us “unchosen” as equals, therefore the cycle will continue, and Jews will continue their usual pattern of blaming everybody else rather then reflecting on their own actions. After all, we “unchosen” people only exist to serve you, so why would you ever treat us with any respect or mercy? This is why people are concerned with the Jewish religion, because its teachings negatively affect all non-Jews. It is a misanthropic religion, based on the hatred of all other people not from your own racial group.
