......Because for some reason bloodline matters with religion......

The jewish claim of "choseness" rests on bloodline.
They are Jews. History is clear on this. Ishmael still thinks it has the Abrahamic birthright. This is bias against their brother speaking. Ketzer is German for Khazar and means heretic or Jew.
"Jews fled Rome and Greece to Khazaria to avoid forced conversion to Christianity. They adopted Islam when forced, repudiating it when safe." LINK
The claim I usually see is "Jews are really the descendants of Khazars so they aren't really Jews!" - which is blatantly false on both counts. As I said, the Khazar had negligible impact on anything; their current descendants are either Sunni and Sufi Muslims, or Eastern orthodox Christians. Second, if someone practices Judaism or identifies as "culturally Jewish" then, well, they get to call themselves Jewish.

The Abrahamic blessing is made pretty clear. This thread really is not about the Abrahamic birthright at all... I am not even bringing that up. Instead this thread, as you can see is about the fact that modern day jews are of European origin.

Well, you have posted a link that repeats the contents of Koestlers research which talks of Khazars becoming jews...and being of European origin.
Here are the first three lines from the link you posted....
Khazars adopt Judaism as their religion in A.D. 740.
Majority of Eastern European Jews are Khazar and Japhetic in origin, not Semitic.
Jews more closely related to Hun, Uigur, and Magyrs than to the seed of Abraham Isaac and Jacob.
the-red-thread.net...
Edit: I was just going through that site and noticed it makes some ridiculous claims, such as the 12 tribes of Israel being modern day Caucasian Europeans!!

You seem to miss the point. The video you posted is an Islamic attempt to paint a broad smoke screen across the Jewish tribes as some type of single-minded conspiracy.
The Jewish people are many tribes representing many parts of the world. Not only this, they are not all of the same perspective when it comes to religion or government leanings. There is no conspiracy other than the normal divisions that any nation experiences at the hands of the influence of evil at work in the world.
America is a good example of a many flavored landscape. Most nations are a mix of divided factions. This is the true conspiracy at work in the world. To paint this as a Zionist conspiracy is in error. The enemy is not mankind. It is the enemy that seeks to divide and conquer by stealing, killing and destroying.
God represents honor, protection, freedom, liberty and justice. Oddly enough, America and Israel are the founders of this concept.

Only when considered from your VERY convoluted, cottage-industry 'theory-of-everything' perspective.
Quote: ["Apart from the printing of the Bible and the virtue that it taught men, our current world would still be in the dark ages."]
The christianity-faction you apparantly represent IS the dark-age illness, not the cure. Just as judaism has manifested in better and worse versions, so has christianity. Both ultimately polarizing in the opposites of co-existence or fascistic ideology.

Humans have been making advances in science since the dawn of civilization... regardless of their religous beliefs.
For example, consider the sumerians who invented writing in the first place... will you attribute it to their religious beliefs. Can we now say that the writers of the bible owe it to the ancient Sumerians who invented writing in the first place?
