Invented by a communist/zionist Jew who wanted to prove that Jews were not the same people who murdered Christ, then they should not be hated by Catholic gentiles. Turkey only became the home of Jews after their expulsion from Spain.

>A quote that shows the clear ethnic Jewish motivation of the popularization of the “Khazar theory” by Arthur Koestler. Koestler, the Jewish one time Communist and radical Zionist (Jabotinsky party member), is most famous for writing the book “The Thirteenth Tribe” which is one of the most quoted “proofs” of the “Khazar theory.”

>His official biography, written by Michael Scammell, specifically quotes him on why he wrote “The Thirteenth Tribe.” His argument was that if he could persuade people that a non-Jewish “Khazar” heritage formed the basis of modern Jews, then this would be a weapon against European racially based anti-Semitism. “Should this theory be confirmed, the term ‘anti-Semitism’ would become void of meaning,” he said. According to Scammell, Koestler told French biologist Pierre Debray-Ritzen he “was convinced that if he could prove that the bulk of Eastern European Jews were descended from the Khazars, the racial basis for anti-Semitism would be removed and anti-Semitism itself could disappear.”

>The theory has sometimes been used by Jewish authors such as Arthur Koestler as part of an argument against traditional forms of antisemitism (for example the claim that "the Jews killed Christ")
