Mark,
I understand your concern that a neophyte in CI might misconstrue the implications of what I'm saying, but for the sake of clarity I will catagorically state that I don't believe there are any jews descendant of the Khazars that are Israelite.
People in White Identity circles know the jews lie about everything, but, as Bill pointed out, many still believe the jews when they claim they are the ancient Israelites. I would suggest the same may be true of what the jews claim about their, at least partial, Khazar origins.
When I first read about the alleged story of the Khazar conversion to judaism, I was highly skeptical. it sounded too convenient, and it seemed to contradict the history of the jews themselves. The idea that the king of the Khazars wanted to choose a religion for his people--and summoned a Chistian, a muslim, and a jewish rabbi to give their best pitch sounds like a fairy tale. After all, why not bring in a "pagan" priest, too?
One top of that, the reason the jews give for the king to choose judaism over the other two choices? Because it was good for business--judaism allowed for the making of large profits. If that sounds plausible to you, anything will. If that were the case, why didn't every royal family in Europe convert to judaism if it meant maximizing their wealth?
Historically, at least as far as I'm aware, jews are not proselytizers. A large part of them do not recognize "gentile" conversion, even if some rabbis give lip service to the idea. And yet we are to believe that the jews converted an entire empire to judaism, unprecedented in the anals of history.
As I said, from jewish sources themselves, they cannot agree about the extent to which the Khazars converted to judaism. Some, in fact, go so far as to state that only the king and his entourage converted. In reality, they don't know anything for certain because it's based on a myth. We do know, however, that at least one high-ranking Khazar had a Christian burial with Greek writing in the grave.
The other big problem with the conversion story is that St. Cyril visited the Khazars, as I said, 100 years before their supposed conversion to judaism, as attested to by the Byzantine history records. Why would the Khazar king, a 100 years later, ask for a Christian to come to Khazaria to make a pitch for Christianity if St. Cyril had already done so?
And you're right, Mark, the picture that the jews have created about Khazar society is all too familiar. The historians have depicted Khazaria as a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic tolerant Utopia with judaism as the unity force. Sounds a lot like New York City or their plans for Europe and America today.
But that depiction seems to contradict the fact that the Khazars fought off the mongol-turk attempted invasions of Europe. The jews in Khazaria would have welcomed and abetted such an invasion. Like Charles Martel, had the Khazars not repelled those invasions, there very well could have been a mosque where Notre Dame now stands in the heart of Paris.
One important point to keep in mind is that this Khazar thesis was first promoted by the jewish historian, Heinrich Graetz, who wrote his "authoritative" "History Of The Jews" prior to the rise of political zionism. As such, he probably didn't foresee how the Khazar myth would conflict with the foundational justification for the ersatz entity of the state of Israel. Subsequently, jewish historians have been busy spinning the Khazar story every which way to obfuscate its implications.
As I pointed out before, no jewish writer that I know of has ever cited the possible Israelite origins of the Khazars as opening the door to the possibility that there are Israelite jews. That is the central irony that I alluded to earlier. And this is yet another reason why I don't take this "conversion" myth seriously. Even if--and that's a big IF--some Khazars converted to judaism, given the nature of jews, they would have inter-married with other jews, converted or not, and destroyed the Israelite bloodline.
For any neophyte Identity Christians, I hope this shuts the door on the possibility that any full-blooded israelite jews slipped through the cracks of Khazar history.

It is for this filth that you murdered your Empire. It is this filth that elects, selects, your politicians." -- Ezra Pound
