Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, p. 41, which says, "Edom is in modern Jewry."
"Esau is Edom", Genesis 36.
When Christ argued with the Pharisees they admitted they were not of Israel. They were Edomites. John 8:33 "They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say thou, Ye shall be made free?" Christ acknowledged they were from Abraham, but not counted as children. Only those of Jacob are counted as children. Christ and Paul defined that term, children, as only Israelites.
Two books that I have. "Who is Esau-Edom" by Charles Weisman, 1991, is a book that is at Amazon amazingly. Edom makes up 9% of today's Jews. 90% are from Japheth through a grandson. In 1976 well known Jewish author Arthur Koestler made the New York Times top ten best seller list with "The Thirteenth Tribe". In the book Koestler shows that ninety percent of today's Jews are of Japhetic ancestry. You might find it online free. Sheldon Emry did an audio book review that is worth the listen. They can be found on this page. https://www.christianisrael.info/ Not too far from the top.
Actually the 1% aren't Israel either. The key to know about the Middle East is that Ishmael was promised the land with out strings. Israel was promised the land based on behavior. There is another promised land(s) where Israel moved.
Esau still trying to destroy Jacob. It is an old battle.
The world is upside down, not the Kingdom of God. Esau/Edom is in Modern Jewry.
Do you have any good links on the Esau/Edom connection?

Hope that helps.
That explains where your claim came from. I wonder where they got it from. Not seeing the link, yet.
So there is maybe 1% that’s from the original Judahites?
