Sephardic Jews are ARABS themselves, ironic as that may be. This is obvious to anyone who observes the extreme phenotypical similarity between Sephardic Jews and Arabs.

With all the exagerated excitement sorrounding Jewish genetic studies, maybe you can tell me why "A keynote research paper showing that Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians are genetically almost identical has been pulled from a leading journal." (http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,605798,00.html)

Obviously, there is an agenda here.

The linguist Paul Wexler has already established a theory backed up by lots of evidence that Yiddish is a Slavic language, but uses mostlye a German vocabulary. Modern Hebrew (not to be confused with ancient Hebrew) is also a Slavic Language, but uses a mostly ancient Hebrew vocabulary.

Linguistic, historic, archealogical, as well as genetic evidence all points to so-called Ashkenazi Jews being descended from the Khazars.

Origins of Yiddish traces to Khazaria:

The truth is out there. You can dismiss it based on principle, based on ad hominem claims of "anti-semitism" or any other reason, but the truth is still out there.
