What are your working definitions of tribe and ethmicity in that case?
Tribes typically share genetic ancestry, as do ethnicities.
Discussion
A tribe carries, propogates racial, ethnic , behavioral and cultural qualities but those are not defining traits.
Tribal membership is the defining trait.
You can be adopted into a tribe , married intoba tribe and have membership with zero related DNA.

The main cohort of what are called Jews we live with in the US and Europe are Ashkenazi/Khazarian. The Mizrahi are diverse and mostly now live in Israel.

There is obviously a huge European admixture but surely dna would be able to confirm such a thing.
I've read a little more about it and it does seem pretty likely that the white jews came from Eurasia like this. There were clearly tons of converts.
And while they said you can trace their dna to the middle east that's the case for most people.
