I'm not sure if Khazars are Semites, but I think they are distinct based on a few searches. Are Jews European? Yes, seems like. At least for the Ashkenazi group. But they have genetic markers common in Middle Eastern people (also quick search check).

Also, I've heard it argued here that the Ashkenazi Jews were not Khazars. And this apparently this is more widespread than just Voat, called the 'Khazar myth' by critics according to Wikipedia(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazar_hypothesis_of_Ashkenazi_ancestry)).

Look, I know you can't get a straightforward answer on anything having to do with the Jews, so if it seems like I'm doubtful just know I'm doubtful of everything. And the objections I'm throwing up are aiming at getting to truth.
