Jim:

There is no evidence - genetic (most important on this
list) or archaeological to support your contention.
As such, you are espousing personal religious views
not based on scientific evidence or studies.

However, you insistence regarding Jewish ancestry has
made me curious. Is it your contention then that
these "Jews who forgot their Jewishness and became
Europeans" therefore can claim Jewish ancestry (both
culturally and genetically) in the same fashion that
contemporary Jewish populations (obviously) do today?
