Tucker Carlson recently claimed that Ashkenazi (European) Jews have no connection to the Land of Israel, suggesting they descend from Khazar Turkic converts rather than ancient Israelites. Is there any truth to this rapidly-spreading theory?

Are Ethiopian Jews really the descendants of Dan, as Israel Lau laughably claimed when el al brought them to Israel en masse in the 80s? How about the Gerash, of Bulgaria or Romanian Jews, with their very tightly curled hair?

Judaism is as obsessed with genetic lineage as “Aryans” were in mid-twentieth century Germany. Drop it already.

1- we can track Jewish migration from the Mediterranean region to France, Germany and Britain during the Roman empire. During the crusades we can trace Jewish migration from western europe to eastern europe to escape being murdered. We can trace the movement of Jews on pilgrimages from all over to Jerusalem and other holy sites in the levant. We know that there were laws which prohibited any migration to the levant, even when Jews were welcomed in other parts of the Ottoman Empire after the Spanish expulsion. This changed in the 1870s and from that time Jews have migrated back. So once Jews were allowed to move from Europe to the levant, they did.
2- My family was very religious and they moved to Israel over 100 years ago.
3- Yiddish is written with Hebrew letter.

Indeed the Messiah of the world is a direct descendant of a righteous convert (Ruth)

Do converts to Christianity have a connection to Bethlehem?
Do converts to Islam have a connection to Mecca?

He needs attention. His anti-semitism is just a ploy to gain power and money. I doubt he believes anything he says.

Because he is a descendant of Israelites himself and has the same genetics as Ashkenazi Jews. He who finds fault in others reveals his own flaw. Same reason why Roger Waters is obsessed too.
