-- No sh.t! You don't say!

Read and get educated and if you're indeed the honest and straightforward
person which you strive so much to put the show, try to debrainwash
yourself:

As you can see from the following, the Ashkenazi Jews comprise appr. 80% of
the current Jewry global population.
There is NO connection between them and the Khazar tribe and its kingdom of
Northern Caucasus, opposite to the parts from where the Ashkenazi Jews came
from. They converted to Judaism in the late 8th cent. or early 9th.
All those Jews came to Europe during various eras, BC and AD.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ashkenazi Jews, also known as Ashkenazic Jews or Ashkenazim are Jews
descended from the medieval Jewish communities of the Rhineland. Many later
migrated, largely eastward, forming communities in Germany, Poland, Austria,
Eastern Europe and elsewhere between the 10th and 19th centuries. From
medieval times until the mid-20th century, the lingua franca among Ashkenazi
Jews was Yiddish or Slavic languages such as the (now extinct) Knaanic, and
they developed a distinct culture and liturgy influenced by interaction with
surrounding nations.
Although in the 11th century they comprised only 3% of the world's Jewish
population, today Ashkenazi Jews account for approximately 80% of world
Jewry. Most Jewish communities with extended histories in Europe are
Ashkenazim, with the exception of those associated with the Mediterranean
region. A significant portion of the Jews who migrated from Europe to other
continents in the past two centuries are Eastern Ashkenazim, particularly in
the United States.
