Theory of Pashtun descent from Israelites

[Maiwand]

There is nothing wrong with being a descendant of Jews, they are the most intelligent people in the world and our prophet (pbuh) was married to a Jewish lady. Many of our prophets were jews, like Mozes and Jesus. And even when we where jews, now we are alhamdullah muslims and are saved from the hell fire. And the funny thing is that we Pashtuns (Talibans) are the biggest enemies of the Zionist state. But the Zionists have nothing to do with the real Jews, they are the descendants of Khazars, a pagan people from Eastern-Europe.

I agree with you that they khazars are not real jews, but i disagree with you on the israelite theory, as there is no proof, but however we are known to be schyian sakas, also not all pashtuns are taliban and yes there is nothing wrong having the blood of a jew. Welcome roara

I have read some time ago that the Israeli government is sponsoring an academic research about this subject, here is an article about it:

Afghanistan - Are Taliban Descendants of Israelites?


Afghanistan - Are the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan descendants of an Israelite tribe that migrated across Asia after it was exiled over 2,700 years ago?
This intriguing question has been asked by a variety of scholars, theologians, anthropologists and pundits over the years, but has remained somewhere between the realms of amateur speculation and serious academic research.

But now, for the first time, the Israeli government has shown official interest, with their Foreign Ministry providing a scholarship to an Indian scientist to come to the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa and determine whether or not the tribe that provides the hard core of today's Taliban has a blood link to any of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, and specifically to the tribe of Efraim.

Shahnaz Ali, a senior research fellow at the National Institute of Immunohaematology, Mumbai, has joined the Technion to study the blood samples that she collected from Afridi Pathans in Malihabad, in the Lucknow district, Uttar Pradesh state, India, to check their putative Israelite origin.
