No I think they are around half descended from the biblical hebrews. They are not particularly descended from Khazars or any other group. They have collected genetics from different populations over their existence as a group. They have a parasitic strategy of living off of host societies, and they attract individuals with traits that lend themselves toward that strategy from many different countries.
What I mean is that Israel of the OT is about the people, the son's of Israel (Jacob); it was never about a place. God told them to go somewhere, but He never called that place Israel. To call that place Israel is another insult to God; as if killing His son wasn't enough.
Okay what about the promised land though?
There was a promised land, I agree, but it was not called Israel. Only the people were called Israel, even when they were deported, like in Babylon for example.
