Ancient Jews have that ancestry, too. They were a mix of Kurds and Canaanites, Philistines, etc. So are Palestinians.
the researchers are looking for haplotypes and haplogroups. there isn't, fox example, "a Jewish gene."
and they aren't descended from the lost tribes, they are descended from the Jewish population that remained on the land after the Roman expulsion. Watch the videos, one Israeli historian describes how the Romans enslaved the elite, the leadership, but left the ordinary people behind. That is who the Palestinians are descended from (85% ...), and yes everyone who wandered through that four lane highway that is Palestine/Israel! I thought that was well put. And again, so are the Jews!
by the way, there are Palestinian COHANIM, in roughly the same proportion as among Jews.
