@dfgghfgj I submit you have it the other way around - it's the mainstream Jews who perform most of the religion's precepts incorrectly in comparison to the Qaraites and their fellow travellers, although I agree that the Samaritans' belief in Mt. Gerizim is an aberration.
Having said this, be informed that several Sfaradi females have already married Samaritans.
They should get wives from Nablus. The majority of Palestinians in Nablus are descended from Samaritans who were forced to convert to Islam, and half of them have Samaritan surnames. President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi once wrote an article where he stated that two thirds of people in and around Nablus are of Samaritan origin.
@ohanina2mizrahim There's still an undecided controversy if they mostly descend from Northern Israelites or from foreigners brought by the Assyrians into Samaria.
In any rate Samaritanism isnt Judaism,tempting as the notion continues to be (why do they deny it's Judaism?).
Their script isnt original Hebrew letters (13th century BCE) but a latter-day development of this script from the 2nd half of the 2nd century BCE.
I too like them to a healthy extent ie without apologizing 4 my Jewishness.
@ohanina2mizrahim Evidently half of what I've explained is above your head (or perhaps you've tried to spite me?). If you'll see a chart of original Hebrew letters from the 13th century BCE and a chart of Samaritan letters, you'll notice a huge difference.
And it's more than funny that some people insist they are Jews when the Samaritans themselves maintain that their religion isn't Judaism and would be happy to explain why.
Downright brainless misinformation - the Samaritans didn't exist at all until about 2700 years ago when the proto-Samaritans arrived on history's stage.
Before the Second Temple era there was no Judaism but a proto-Jewish religion.
And the description on the side bar is so obviously slanted against Israel. Maybe it's Israel's fault that these people in-breed, and thus suffer the related afflictions.
Nice try implicating Israel in all the world's problems.

I am not sure that all the askenazim descended from the nation of israel.
Some of them really look like European Goyim, but anyway this is another problem...

I see them as original hebrews.
I don't really care if their judaism is exact or not.
They are using original hebrew letters, and they have been living in Eretz Israel for centuries.
I really like these people!

Personnaly, I don't care if they are north Israelite or other semite population.
They have hebrew name, they are using original hebrew letters, contrary to us which are using assyrian alaphabeth!!
They look for sure closer to original hebrew than many ashkenazim or Falashim ect...
I think they have to be consider as jew!

It depend on your definition of Jew!!
For me a jew is a Semite Judean Israelite who believe in Judaism and follow the Thorah.
Judaism as evoluate a lot during the last centuries, in Babylon, Spain, North Africa, East Europe ect...
Sorry, but for me the actual ashkenazim Haredim are far away from the original hebrew, from an ethnic, Cultural, linguistic point of view!!
So maybe Samaritan don't want to be consider as Jew, but at least they look more israelite than many people!!
