Thank you so much for your truly erudite article, exposing some hidden convolutions of history that have severe implications on current affairs in the Levant !!! 👍👍👍

Hopefully this will reach a wider audience and help them to get out of the pervasive Zionist Matrix ...🤞🤞

The Khazar conversion to Judaism was pragmatic simplicity itself. On one side of Khazaria was the still strong Christian Byzantine Empire, on the other was the Muslim Arab Caliphate. The Khazars didn't want to take sides, and wanted to trade with both, so how better to satisfy both than by becoming a People of the Book?

It seems to have worked pretty well for a couple of centuries, too. Then my distant Swedish cousins came. Along with the Seljuks, the Ottomans, and quite a few others.
