Weren't ashkenzai jews european at one point in time? They were converts, but then they interbred and self isolated for the next 1000 years? If they were european, then they have no blood claim to the line of david and being true jews.

David was an Israelite, not a Jew, since Jewish identity only started with Ezra. Israelites were defined by membership to a religious nation, not defined by blood. David himself was a descendant of a Moabite - Ruth.
