The Shared Genetic Heritage Of Jews And Palestinians by Demmzy15(m): 10:10pm On Jun 11, 2016
I decided to create this thread to show that Palestinian Muslims and Christians(Arabs) are descendants of Jacob aka Israel. This is a reply to militant terrorist Christians like Parisbookaddict aka Ifeann, true2god aka proudkafir, OLAADEGBU, Anas09 aka Anus, analice107 aka tranny, etc who are supporters of evil. The support the killing of civilians especially women and children by their Zionist state. Most annoying part is that, the Jews don't care about Christians, go and check their Talmud and see the amount of hate and abuses hurled at Jesus and his mother.

Yet some robots on Nairaland, who their holy book has blocked their sense of reasoning continue to support this vile and evil State of Israel. Any of you who's bold enough should challenge whatever I'm stating here, remember you'll ran away from this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3151808/why-every-non-muslim-especially-christians , I'm available anytime if you want to continue!


The Times recently carried this unusual report on an Israeli Jew (Tsvi Misinai, a retired computer expert) who’s hoping to prove that Palestinians are descended from Jews. Apparently, he thinks that proving this will help to stop the bloodshed. His idea is that modern Jews are descended from emigration in the first few centuries of the Christian era. The Jews who stayed put in Palestine converted to Islam, and became Palestinian Arabs. There’s hope that genetic tests might be able to prove this.
Well, there is good news and bad news on that score.

The good news is that the genetics of Arabs and Jews have been pretty extensively researched. The classic study dates to 2000, from a team lead by Michael Hammer of University of Arizona. They looked at Y-chromosome haplotypes – this is the genetic material passed from father to son down the generations.
What they revealed was that Arabs and Jews are essentially a single population, and that Palestinians are slap bang in the middle of the different Jewish populations (as shown in this figure).

Another team, lead by Almut Nebel at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem, took a closer look in 2001. They found that Jewish lineages essentially bracket Muslim Kurds, but they were also very closely related to Palestinians. In fact, what their analysis suggested was that Palestinians were identical to Jews, but with a small mix of Arab genes – what you would expect if they were originally from the same stock, but that Palestinians had mixed a little with Arab immigrants. They conclude:

We propose that the Y chromosomes in Palestinian Arabs and Bedouin represent, to a large extent, early lineages derived from the Neolithic inhabitants of the area and additional lineages from more-recent population movements. The early lineages are part of the common chromosome pool shared with Jews (Nebel et al. 2000). According to our working model, the more-recent migrations were mostly from the Arabian Peninsula…

So, as far as male lineage goes, the genetic story is very clear. Palestinians and Jews are virtually indistinguishable.

Women are a bit more tricky…

Up until last year, the matrilineal heritage of Jews also seemed pretty clear. Analysis of elements in mitochondrial DNA (which is passed from mother to daughter) seemed to show that Jewish populations around Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East were derived from at least 8 unrelated ‘founding mothers’.

Where they came from wasn’t clear, but the most likely explanation was that they were from local populations that bred with immigrant Jewish males. Their offspring became absorbed into the Jewish community.

In 2008, a more sophisticated analysis was published that made use of whole mitochondrial DNA sequences. They found no evidence for the genetic bottle necks that indicate founding mothers in the large Jewish populations. Instead, they found a complicated picture with a very diverse gene pool suggesting intermarriage both with local populations and other Jewish groups.
The overall conclusion is that the female Jewish line deviates a lot more from the Palestinian heritage than the male line, but the heritage is still there.

So that’s the good news. Jews and Palestinian Arabs are blood brothers – although this close genetic relationship probably stems from pre-Judaic times, rather than any more recent conversion of Palestinian Jews to Islam.

And the bad news? Well, this basic story has been known for the best part of a decade now. But, perhaps unsurprisingly, it hasn’t lead to the warring sides laying down their weapons and engaging in a group hug. This is a religious conflict, not a genetic one.
Mr Misinai is, sadly, on a hiding to nothing.

The Jews are categorised into the Sephardic Jews and the Ashkenazi Jews.the Sephardic Jews are the actual descendants of Jacob that did not accept Islam with the remaining with the remaining Jews who later accepted Islam and adopted Arabic as their official language and are today referred today as Palestinian Arabs just like the Egyptians are referred to as Arabs after the reverted to Islam even though they have their own tribe which is the kibt which in English is called Copt used to refer to the remaining Egyptians that are not Muslims.
The Ashkenazi have no lineage with Jacob, they are the descendants of the khazars from Eastern europe that adopted Judaism as their state religion.
The khazars were idol worshippers and are always at war with Western Christians led by Rome and the eastern Muslims led by the Ottoman.
The khazars are constantly mocked that they are idol worshippers and they begin to lose some of their offsprings to either christianity as in the case of Russia, Ukraine and some parts of Germany or Islam as in the case of khazakstan Uzbekistan and other nations in the Balkans.
The king and his advisers feeling that idol worshiping I unreasonable decides to profess a faith of worshipping God.
They considered Christianity but feel they will be subjected to catholic control which they they werenot wiling to accept,they also considered Islam but couldn't bear with been lorded over by the ottomans.
Then Jews who claim to be the pioneers of the abrahamic faith are been persecuted particularly in Christian dominated countries and labeled Christ killers. Some one then proposed Judaism to the khazars which provides them with lots of benefits part of which include saying they are the pioneers of the abrahamic faith and every abrahamic faith has its roots from them, since Judaism then don't have an empire that they control, no army accepting Judaism is their best bet because instead of receiving orders they will bark out the orders. They also brought the Jews persecuted from Western Europe seeking asylum under their wings and became their protectors, this account for why most Ashkenazi Jews look European with blonde hair and blue eyes.
It is important to note that a non Ashkenazi today can never be prime minister or any important post in Israel today.
