A study of genetics found that Palestinians and Jews are genetically the same people.
I remember when this study was published, Palestinians were horrified and Yasser Arafat condemned the science.
I think the findings are quite ironic.
The conflict is a modern day Cain and Abel Story.
WHAT I was just reading in Israeli Shlomo Sands new book is Jews are most like the people where they live. For hundreds of yesrs, Judaism was a proselytizing religion so the DNA of Jews is most likely like those in the lands they and their parents and grandparents live within. Of course, Zionists who settled in Israel the past hundred years, coming from Europe and Russia and elsewhere, in their DNA, they have nothing in common with the indigenous Palestinian people or Jews who lived in Palestine 2000 years ago.
Sherri----either Shlomo Sands is an idiot ----or you are lying I know nothing
about your education------but in my high school years----all we got in the field
of genetics was MENDELIAN stuff------and a few issues that could be extrapolated
using tissue surface antigens as markers-----if you are younger than I am---
and were exposed to the kind of genetics education that kids got as long as
20 years ago----YOU SHOULD KNOW that the comment you claim to be
quoting is sheer nonsense.
the FACT is that genetic studies have---over the past 40 years
revealed a remarkable genetic link between jews WORLD WIDE---
and that link traces back to the Levant as origine Even 35 years ago---
genetic studies which were far more primitive than they are today---
revealed that jews WORLD WIDE have a remarkable INTRA MARRIAGE
rate----consistent with known jewish history-----MOVING ABOUT but
marrying each other. Are you sure you are not reading the
ISA version of some book written by some guy named "SANDS"?
Sands said that jews engage in PROSELYTIZING? -----pig Constantine
rendered it a CAPITAL CRIME --~ 300 AD and even prior to that time--
it was not a custom unless the potential convert INSISTED. It is true
that the EDOMITES in ancient times converted to Judaism---I do not
know if they were coerced. Some greeks and roman, too----
and some yemenis ---but that was not recently----more like
during BC times
I did not read the sands book-----if he wrote that---I
will be sure not to-----such stupidity and ignorance
irritates me----even if he suggested such stuff---your
statement is so idiotic---that I can only conclude you
are lying-----I do not believe any editor would publish
such nonsense------do you have the name of the
publishing company? it is located in Iran?
