It doesn't matter how close they are "genetically." Their genes didn't come from people who lived there before 1948.Firstly, I believe the mods typically request that entire articles not be cut and pasted but referenced by link.
I'm guessing that you did not bother to go to the link and look at the source in your haste to spew an anti-mod comment.
Secondly, item 3 from your link, (which is confirmed in various other sources), is in direct contradiction to the wailing that takes place when that fact is presented to the more excitable of the screamers and shouters.
3. Zionist settlement between 1880 and 1948 did not displace or dispossess Palestinians.
And, your point is what exactly?
Lastly, your article should have mentioned that the geographic area of Pal'istan was inhabited. However, it's worth noting that the geographic area was not the formal structure of a "country" as many of the screamers / wailers represent it to be.
And, your point is what exactly?
Joan Peter's was extremely inaccurate as a source for demographics.
Now, if you're arguing that that there was no huge Zionist displacement of Arabs according to available demographic information. I agree.
If you're arguing that Jews are also indiginous and did not spontaniously appear when immigrants came over from Europe. I agree.
You posted far more than 500 words, which is a copyright violation, and no one ever claimed that all the Jews in Israel are indigenous. The point is that most of the so-called "Palestinians" are not indigenous. They are immigrants from other countries.
Where is 500 words a copyright infringement according to the rules of USMB? Here, I'll help you, since you and Holly have clearly NOT gone to the link itself, and seen the extremely long article with the graphs and table.
Copyright. Link Each "Copy & Paste" to It's Source. Only paste a small to medium section of the material.
The point is...according to the article from which a posted a "medium" size section, there is no way to prove how many are or are not indiginous, and since your title states that the claim any are is "debunked" ... and you state "most are not indiginous" - your claim is debunked by this information.
There's no need to prove the exact number of so-called "Palestinians" are indigenous. The evidence indicates that the vast majority of them aren't. In fact, because of interbreeding, virtually none of them are indigenous. The so-called "indigenous" Palestinians were swamped by vast numbers if immigrants.
No evidence to support that claim. In fact, even genetically - Palestinians are still very close to the indiginous Jewish population.
