Why is Israel so interested and helping Azerbaijan?

It can be said that the war recorded between Azerbaijan and Armenia is a manifestation of the hatred between the two societies, which manifests itself in a very different dimension than the Turkish-Armenian or Turkish-Greek hatred.

Origins of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflicts:

Another war that is more serious and deep than this war is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The conflict between the Palestinians and the Israelis is neither an inter-religious conflict nor a fight for land division. This war is a blood feud. Its roots date back to 3500 years ago. I talked to you about this when I was telling you about the love of Samson, Delilah, even mentioned in the Testament (Torah). The seeds of grudge and hatred of the events that are actually happening today were planted 3,500 years ago. However, these two tribes, the Palestinians and the Israelis, are Semitic Ethnos tribes descended from the same lineage.

In this article, I would like to clarify some issues by making use of the information in the book "Caspian Khaganate" written by Arif Cengiz Erman, which is one of the books I have read recently.

Israel; Like you, I have always wondered why you helped Azerbaijan politically, economically and militarily in the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. I found the answer I was looking for in Erman Hoca's book.

After the Seljuks accepted the religion of Islam and established a state, they preferred to adopt the Arab culture to a large extent, just like the Karakhanids and the Ghaznavids. The Ottomans, on the other hand, were not affected by the Arab culture to this extent, and because they had more contact with the West, they were able to develop a more original culture.

Turkish-Arab Distrust:

Meanwhile, a painful situation in Turkish history has injured us all. While the Turkish army was retreating from Syria, Palestine and Lebanon towards Anatolia, the actions of the deranged Arab nationalists who united with the British and attacked the Ottoman Army from behind, inflicted deep wounds in Turkish history. These two societies, which have been in the same geography for centuries and share the same religious brotherhood, have moved away from each other due to the actions of the Arab ultra-nationalists who came to the British game. Most Turks did not forget the Mashrik (Eastern) Arabs, who attacked the Turkish Army from behind and killed tens of thousands of Turkish soldiers in World War I. It was not possible to forget.

East Turkestan Question:

Recently, in the Republic of Turkey, as if the 'Palestine Question' is our priority problem, an understanding that is more royalist than the king, and the understanding of 'owning' this problem has started to dominate. While I respect the rightful cause of the Palestinians, I think that if we, the Turks, are going to stand up for a cause, if we are going to raise a problem first, it should be the East Turkestan Question rather than the Palestine Question. Therefore, I say that Turks do not have a Palestine Problem, but an East Turkestan Problem.

It is the defenseless Turks who were massacred in East Turkestan, and who were put in concentration camps without saying old, woman or child. It is a pity that the rulers of the Turkish states cannot find the opportunity to deal with the East Turkestan problem, rather than filling their own coffers. Let's hope they come to their senses before it's too late.

Jewish Turks in History:

There is disagreement among Jewish Turks and historians about the arrival date of Seljuk, who was born in 900, to Cend. Considering that Subaşı Selçuk, the commander of the Caspian army, was at a young age when he escaped from the Caspian palace, it is rumored that this date must be between 920-925. Seljuk had five sons named Mikail, Israel, Musa, Yusuf and Yunus in order of age. As can be understood from the names of the children, the name Israel especially attracts attention. Because Muslims never give this name to their children, it was a Jewish name. It should be evaluated that the names that Selçuk gave to his children, who are understood to be Jewish in origin, are also Hebrew names found in the Torah, which in a way is cultural and religious proof of this.

Was Selcuk Bey a Tengrist or a Jew?

Famous Turkish historian Zeki Velidi Togan said, “Names such as Israel, Mikail, Davut, Yunus and Musa from the Seljuk family are proof that the Jewish Khazar culture began to spread among the Oghuz Aristocracy in the 10th century.” he wrote. However, it is impossible to agree with Togan's view.

If Selcuk was not a Jew but a Tengrician, why would he have given his children Jewish names? Were the Tengrist Turks a community detached from their traditions, without identity and personality? Even though they were not Jews, did they like Jewish names very much? İbrahim Kafesoğlu, a staunch Turkish-Islamic synthesizer, for some reason preferred to write the name Israel by distorting it as Israfil.

Selcuk Bey Becomes a Muslim:

If we continue our article through the views and evaluations of Erman Hodja, since Seljuk was a Jew, a significant part of the Kınık lords and clan members who acted with Seljuk were also Jews. Realizing that they could not survive for a long time as Jewish Turks in a region where Muslim Turks are the majority, Selçuk and his supporters decided to meet among themselves and become Muslims after a while. 

However, this time was not that short, it was quite a long time. The Seljuk family was still Jewish in 989, when Davut Çağrı was born. From this, it is understood that Seljuk Bey and Kınık tribes adopted Islam between 990 and 991, just before 992 when they captured Cend. In these years, Selçuk Bey was now in his 90s. His son Israel, on the other hand, converted to Islam in 1003.

Jewish Khazar and Türi Tribes:

Today, over 11 million Ashkenazi Jews and some 2.5 million Sephardic Jews are descendants of Jewish Khazar and Türi tribes. These Jews, whose ancestors were Turkish, make up more than ninety percent of the world's Jewish population today. Therefore, II. The origin of millions of Jews who were massacred by the Nazis during World War II is not Semitic, but Turkish.

Some of the Sephardic Jews, who are usually auburn-blonde, are of North African origin. They are of Berber descent, not Semitic. The Berbers are the successors of the Bandal, an ancient Turkic tribe. The Bandals left Spain in 429 and migrated to North Africa. Later, some of them returned to the Iberian Peninsula together with the Andalusian Umayyads in the 8th century. Here, some of the Bandals adopted Judaism by being influenced by the Khazars and Turis who migrated to the Iberian Peninsula.

Krymchaks and Mountain Jews:

The Turkish-speaking Krymchaks are the descendants of the Jewish Turkic Turi tribes, who did not migrate with the Caspian tribe but remained in their homeland and whose numbers were much reduced. During the Tatar rule, a part of the Karaky (Kereyit) tribe settled in Crimea and its environs, and after being influenced by the Jewish Turks there, they adopted this religion. However, the Judaism of the Karaites, which preserved their Tengrist traditions, became a religion that was a mixture of the belief in the Sky God and Judaism. Mountain Jews are among the descendants of the Alan Turks, who are known to have a population of around 300 thousand scattered in many countries today. Mountain Jews should not be confused with Iranian Jews. Iranian Jews, whose number is around 300 thousand, are the part of the Part Turks who adopted Judaism.

Kınık Tribe and Judaism:

The aristocrats of the Kınık tribe and some of their people adopted Judaism. This tribe, which migrated to the east under the leadership of the Bey at the beginning of the 10th century, is the Oghuz tribe, which established the Seljuk Empire after adopting Islam. The Jewish population, excluding Jews of Turkish origin, is very small. The Semitic Jews, who are true Hebrews, number several million today. Apart from these, there are about 200,000 Ethiopian Jews.

Conclusion:

As can be understood, Judaism is not an ethnos (ethnic origin), but a religious society and includes different ethnos. It is estimated that there are between 14 million and 17 million Jews in the world today. According to calculations, the overwhelming majority of this Jewish population consists of Jews of Turkish origin. More than ninety percent of the Jews are descendants of the Khazar Turks.

History; is the mirror of the future. Everyone knows that the place of nations that do not know their past is the dustbin of history. As I end my lines here, I say to everyone, stay with the real history.
