Refugees and the right to return

[Shusha]

How many of the recent settlers (the last hundred years) went to reclaim a home or farm that they left some time in the past?

All of them.

 

[Shusha]

The European Jews were/are Europeans, they weren't returning to the Middle East, they were colonizing the place. The native Muslims and Christians they found there are the descendants of the people that practiced Judaism, Samaritanism, Paganism that converted to Christianity and then to Islam.

You keep making the same argument. The basis for your argument is that possession is the be all and end all. And that invasion, colonization and conversion is irrelevant. So now, the Jewish people possess it. (Again). What you arguing about?

How many of the recent settlers (the last hundred years) went to reclaim a home or farm that they left some time in the past?

All of them.

None of them. Their ancestors were Europeans. It's a big fat hoax that they come from the Middle East. Your run of the mill Greek or Italian Christian has more Middle Eastern DNA than a European Jew.

There are no issues in the OP. Its a long video with very little information about what her point is. When I asked you for clarification on what you wished to discuss and the content of the video, you failed to respond. Make your case.

Its disingenuous of you to fail to make a point and then claim victory.

Specifically, please respond to posts #7 and #25.

I did give a specific issue with documented proof and you danced around my post.

 

[Shusha]

Also #81. You can try #82 and #93 as well, though I was talking to monte in those.

The citizenship Order?

Actually, I asked you two very specific questions about that and you failed to respond.

Genes Of Most Ashkenazi Jews Trace Back To Europe, Not Middle East

All You have is sensationalist headline from a study that uses a questionable method of deduction.

Your study is actually saying:
A substantial prehistoric European ancestry amongst Ashkenazi maternal lineages.

We're talking about a period of roughly between 3.3 million years ago until 5,300 years ago.

Why the deduction is questionable? Because we're using science and the results should be checked in a context of other studies. One such study on 'Ancient DNA Analysis of 8000 B.C. Near Eastern Farmers'
refers specifically to the study You've linked, it say the following:

This is in agreement with previous observations from other Early Neolithic populations [27], [46], and underlines the importance of genetic drift processes at the beginning of the Neolithic [16]. Nevertheless, the multi-population comparative analyses performed here also suggest that certain population isolates of Middle Eastern origin, like the Druze, could have retained an ancient Neolithic genetic legacy through cultural isolation and endogamous practices [47]. Another interesting case are the Ashkenazi Jews, who display a frequency of haplogroup K similar to the PPNB sample together with low non-significant pairwise Fst values, which taken together suggests an ancient Near Eastern origin. This observation clearly contradicts the results of a recent study, where a detailed phylogeographical analysis of mtDNA lineages has suggested a predominantly European origin for the Ashkenazi communities [48]. According to that work the majority of the Ashkenazi mtDNA lineages can be assigned to three major founders within haplogroup K (31% of their total lineages): K1a1b1a, K1a9 and K2a2. The absence of characteristic mutations within the control region in the PPNB K-haplotypes allow discarding them as members of either sub-clades K1a1b1a or K2a2, both representing a 79% of total Ashkenazi K lineages. However, without a high-resolution typing of the mtDNA coding region it cannot be excluded that the PPNB K lineages belong to the third sub-cluster K1a9 (20% of Askhenazi K lineages). Moreover, in the light of the evidence presented here of a loss of lineages in the Near East since Neolithic times, the absence of Ashkenazi mtDNA founder clades in the Near East should not be taken as a definitive argument for its absence in the past. The genotyping of the complete mtDNA in ancient Near Eastern populations would be required to fully answer this question and it will undoubtedly add resolution to the patterns detected in modern populations in this and other studies.

Genome-Wide Diversity in the Levant Reveals Recent Structuring by Culture


Abstract
The Levant is a region in the Near East with an impressive record of continuous human existence and major cultural developments since the Paleolithic period. Genetic and archeological studies present solid evidence placing the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula as the first stepping-stone outside Africa. There is, however, little understanding of demographic changes in the Middle East, particularly the Levant, after the first Out-of-Africa expansion and how the Levantine peoples relate genetically to each other and to their neighbors. In this study we analyze more than 500,000 genome-wide SNPs in 1,341 new samples from the Levant and compare them to samples from 48 populations worldwide. Our results show recent genetic stratifications in the Levant are driven by the religious affiliations of the populations within the region. Cultural changes within the last two millennia appear to have facilitated/maintained admixture between culturally similar populations from the Levant, Arabian Peninsula, and Africa. The same cultural changes seem to have resulted in genetic isolation of other groups by limiting admixture with culturally different neighboring populations. Consequently, Levant populations today fall into two main groups: one sharing more genetic characteristics with modern-day Europeans and Central Asians, and the other with closer genetic affinities to other Middle Easterners and Africans. Finally, we identify a putative Levantine ancestral component that diverged from other Middle Easterners ∼23,700–15,500 years ago during the last glacial period, and diverged from Europeans ∼15,900–9,100 years ago between the last glacial warming and the start of the Neolithic.

The plots reveal a Levantine structure not reported previously: Lebanese Christians and all Druze cluster together, and Lebanese Muslims are extended towards Syrians, Palestinians, and Jordanians, which are close to Saudis and Bedouins. Ashkenazi Jews are drawn towards the Caucasus and Eastern Europe, reflecting historical admixture events with Europeans, while Sephardi Jews cluster tightly with the Levantine groups. These results are consistent with previous studies reporting higher European genome-wide admixture in Ashkenazi Jews compared with other Jews [11] and higher Y-chromosomal gene flow to Lebanese Muslims from the Arabian Peninsula compared with other Lebanese [5].

We see here Palestinians are closer to Saudis, Syrians, Jordanians and the Bedouin, while Ashkenazi Jews, although some very close to Europeans, mostly cluster with the Lebanese Druze and Christians:

#25, same.

What legal principles? You have not outlined the legal principles you wish to discuss. Point form is fine. I'm pretty familiar with the legal principles. Just outline them. For example:

1. Citizenship Order of 1925 makes all residents of the territory citizens of the territory.
2. Israel declared independence over the territory, making all residents citizens of Israel.
3. Arab Palestinians are prevented by law from seceding, therefore they can not stop being citizens of Israel.

Just walk me through your thinking here.
