DNA sampling is a vile modern method of racial discrimination.
Which is why self-identification and culture should be the determining values when deciding someone's ethnicity.
The only value in DNA research is that it shows the relationship of groups to each other and migration patterns over time. It's a fascinating tool. I can see how it could be used for discrimminatoin- in fact, in some of the very arguments here on both sides claiming certain Jewish groups are European and Palestinians are Arab.
I don't see what DNA sampling would accomplish in Phoenall's claims.
It would accomplish the truth once and for all, and set up the Palestinians for the biggest fail of their existence. It would show that their claims to being indigenous are false, and that their claims to ownership of the land are at best false and at worst fraudulent. That is why they wont submit to the testing
Unfortunately for you, it shows nothing of the kind as genetic testing HAS been done and I've never heard anything about refusals.
