Saigon---there are very basic flaws in your "scholarship" which
you would know if you had basic knowlege of population genetics and of the field of anthropology. To start---BIOLOGICAL systems have interacted since long before
the stone age THRUOUT THE WORLD ----the mayans
of ancient south america are CLOSELY RELATED to the
MONGOLIANS north of india ----biologically. To say that
the people today called "palestinians" are genetically
related to persons from the area of the world which was called
PALESTINE for 2000 years is virtually meaningless----it is a natural FACT of biology just as the ESKIMOS of North
America are related to the MOGOLIAN
people of north asia The issue is the interpretation of
this data which according to you comes out
to be "there were arabs in jerusalem in the
stone age" Nope and there were no eskimos in
Japan in the stone age either.
ESKIMO is a culture with a language and customs --
it is the INUIT NATION no matter what its REMOTE
REMOTE genetics. "arab" is also a "culture"---
especially according to ARABS and their nazi offshoot
ARABISTS and the nazi concept of the UAR---
"UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC" which describes jews as
GENETIC FOREIGNERS to the middle east. None
of the studies you present place "ARABS" in jerusalem.
They simply confirm the genetic admixture (IN THE
MIDDLE EAST) of----arabs--other people in recent history
invaded by arabs --like egypt, Lebanon, syria, etc
and confirm that JEWS are also of the Middle east ---and that is all your studies reveal. The people who wrote about the
studies LUDICROUSLY decided to refer to all the people of
CANAAN as "palestinians" and there lies your confusion
at the hands of the propagandaists who strive mightily to
manipulate The people of ancient canaan were not "PALESTINIANS" they were canaanites----something like
the jews. Your article CORRECTLY states that the people
called PHILISTINES were from CRETE----when you find studies showing that the "palestinians" of the SAME GENE POOL as the people of CRETE-----you can describe the people
who call themselves "PALESTINIANS" as----PHILISTINES'--
which the romans rendered to PALESTINA. No such study
exists. In fact the studies you present refute that idiotic
idea ------the people called PHILISTINES ---to wit cretans---
consituted a now extinct people in the middle east. The people who DEVELOPED IN THE MIDDLE EAST ----egyptians,
lebanese, syrians, jordanians, bedouins, jews, yemenis, arabians ----NATURALLY share genetic origins ALL OF THEM
------gee ---you are even more stupid than is sherri
Yes irose, it's amazing how everybody is related to everybody. I was thinking maybe the JAPANESE are actually the real Palestinians that go back to PALESTINE all the way up to the STONE AGE!
The Japanese-Jewish common ancestry theory (日ユ同祖論（日猶同祖論） Nichiyu Dōsoron?) appeared in the 17th century as a hypothesis which claimed the Japanese people were the main part of the ten lost tribes of Israel. A later version portrayed them as descendents of a tribe of Jewish Nestorians. Some versions of the theory applied to the whole population, but others only claimed that a specific group within the Japanese people was descended from Jews.
During the Age of Discovery, European explorers attempted to connect many peoples with whom they first came into contact to the Ten Lost Tribes, sometimes in conjunction with attempts to introduce Christian missionaries. The first person to identify the lost tribes with an East Asian nation was João Rodriguez (1561-1634), a Jesuit missionary and interpreter. In 1608, he argued that the both the Japanese and the Chinese descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel. He believed that the Chinese sages Confucius and Lao-tse took their ideas from Judaism.[4] Rodriguez later abandoned this theory. In his Historia da Igreja do Japão he argued that Japan was populated in two waves of immigration from the mainland, one group originating from Chekiang, and the other from Korea.[5]
According to Parfitt, "the first full-blown development of the theory was put forward by Nicholas McLeod, a Scot who started his career in the herring industry before he ended up in Japan as a missionary."[6] In 1870 McLeod published Epitome of the ancient history of Japan[7] and Illustrations to the Epitome of the ancient history of Japan,[8] claiming that the Japanese people included descendants of the lost tribes of Israel, who formed the aristocracy and traditional priestly castes. Evidence cited for this theory included similarities between the legends of Emperor Jimmu and Moses, the presence of "Portuguese-Jewish" racial features on some Japanese, and similarities between Shinto and Judaism.[9]
The Japanese-Jewish common ancestor theory has been seen as one of the attempts by European racial scientists to explain Japan's rapid modernization, in contrast to that of the other "inferior" or "degraded" Asians, especially the Chinese.[9] The theory itself, however, was taken in different directions.
[edit]Jews in China
The same year the book by Saeka on the theory was published an article promoting yet another version of the theory appeared in Israels's Messenger, a magazine published by the Shanghai Zionist Federation. [14] Whereas McLeod had claimed that the priest caste and ruling class of Japan were descendants of Jews, the article published by the Shanghai group offered a more proletarian version of the theory. Ami-Shillony writes that
"Its author claimed, contrary to what McLeod had written, that it was the outcasts of Japan, the Eta (or Ety as the article rendered the term) who were the descendants of Jews.[15]
The author of the article said that, like the Jews in the West, the Japanese Eta were hard working people, especially associated with the shoemaking industry who also lived in ghettos, "not that the Japanese compel them to do so, but they seem to prefer to be isolated from the rest of the population." The author also claimed that the Eta observed Jewish customs: "In the ghetto of Nagasaki, for example, the Ety observe the Sabbath very religiously. Not only do they not work on that day of the week, but they do not smoke nor kindle fires, just like the Orthodox Jews."[16]
