The Jews are not a collection of blood, but a collection of beliefs. The symbol of Jews is their belief in Judaism. According to the definition of "Halaka" in the law of Judaism, all people who convert to Judaism (religious meaning) and those born of Jewish mothers (blood meaning) belong to Jews. The Jews believe that the Old Testament of the Bible is history. The Jewish ancestors originated from the Semites in Egypt. The land of Israel in West Asia (the Levant) is the land promised by God to the Jews.

In fact, Jews in history have different ethnic origins and bloodlines. The ethnic groups include the following five types of people:

Ashkenazi Jews (Ashkenazi), also known as Ashkenazi Jews, refer to Jews who originally lived in Central Europe, Northern Europe, and Eastern Europe, mostly living in the Rhine Valley and France. Their ancestors are Turkic (Khazarian Jews). Ashkenazi Jews account for about 70% of Jews in the world.

Sephardi Jews are a large branch of Jews. The ancestors came from Middle Arabia and West Asia, and came to the Iberian Peninsula with the Saracens (Arabs).

Sefadi Jews make up about 20% of Jews. Because of living on the Iberian Peninsula for a long time, his living habits are quite different from other branches, and he speaks Ladino (a Latin branch?).

Mizraḥim ("Oriental Jews") is a descendant of primitive Jews living in the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. There is only a population of about 1.75 million. According to Israeli statistics, most people (more than 1.3 million) currently live in Israel.

Black Hebrews, a kind of black-skinned Jews have been living in North Africa (Egypt and Ethiopia). This dark-skinned Jew believed that they were descendants of King Solomon of ancient Israel and Queen Sheba of the Kingdom of Axum in Ethiopia.

Financial Jew Financial Jew, also known as Court Jew, the former is Marx’s collective name for Jewish financiers and businessmen. In Marx's view, Jews are loan sharks.

Palace Jews are a special group in European history. They refer to Jews who have lived on loan sharks and financial businesses in Europe since the Middle Ages. They controlled the European royal family through the debt economy and controlled the tax revenue of various countries. Now Jews and a few hereditary families related to Jews still control the lifeblood of some important financial institutions and financial systems in the world, including the United States.

Note

There is still a lot of controversy about the origin of "Athletic Jews". Research on the relationship reconstruction using the genetic information of the Y chromosome inherited from the father, the mitochondria inherited from the mother and the autosome inherited from the parents have reached conflicting conclusions. Some of these studies indicate that their ancestors are mainly from the Near East (a region including Israel/Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan), while other studies indicate that their ancestors are mostly from the Caucasus (related to the ancient Turks). After more than 1,000 years, the main distribution of Jews was on the plains of Eastern Europe-all migrated from the Caucasus. At the same time, this can also explain why the so-called Jews are quite different from the Arabs in physical characteristics. They have obvious characteristics such as a hooked nose and deep decree lines-these are the physiological characteristics of the mountain nomads in Eastern Europe, not the Middle East.
