yup, and they converted later, and yes, they are not from the middle east, they are essentially eastern europeans, from the region of the black sea/caspian sea area, next door to russia

they then propagated this story that they are original jews but they are not, and most of the jews in the establishment of modern Israel are these kinds of people, as are most of the "jewish" bankster families and royal families

they have been conning everyone for over a thousand years, meanwhile the real jews are just their cover.
