José;8877838 said:Sally is also right when she says that I probably have some jewish ancestry by virtue of being hispanic since jews settled in Spain and Portugal even before the diaspora of 70 AD and from then on there were more Jews in that part of the world than saguaros in the Sonoran desert.
But just like the Askhenazim from Eastern Europe it's a vestigial ancestry at best.
Askhenazi Jews, the founders of Israel, have either:
1 No jewish ancestry at all being the descendants of converts
2 or a residual ancestry ranging from 0,1 to 1 or 2%.
You are free to call us all "hybrids" due to that extremely dilluted jewish heritage. It's technically correct but it would be an extremely misleading use of the word.
Wrong on all counts as the Ashkenazi's show the genetic haplotype that is only present in a matrilineal lineage that can be traced back to the time of Abraham. Very few of the Ashkenazi Jews are converts as Judaism does not accept converts as other religions do, it is a long drawn out procedure that has blocks at every stage. The most prevalent reason for the European look of Ashkenazi Jews is from rape of Jewish females by ANTISEMITIC JEW HATERS and NAZIS, makes you proud to be descended from rapists doesn't it. More likely to be 95 to 98 % ancestry due to very little marriage outside of their own community for ANTISEMITIC and RELIGOUS reasons.
