Israeli Jews more related to Palestinians than other Jews
I posted a blog about this subject a while back and just wanted to add additional information.
As the article below will illustrate - Israeli Jews, Israeli Arabs and Palestinians share a common ancestry. Israeli Jews and Palestinians have a closer genetic relationship than Israeli Jews have with Ashkenazi Jews which come from European heritage.
The evolution of the Zionist movement comes from European Jews after World War II who felt that the only place that Jews are safe are in their own country. Presently, due to the excessive immigration by the Israeli state, Ashkenazi Jews will soon outnumber true Semitic Jews. So saying that being anti-zionist is anti-semitic is not only a propaganda ploy, it is an outright lie. Zionists, which eminate from Europe, are not even Semitic and only have a very distant link to Semitic Jews. Semitic Jews and Palestinians share genetic material that comes from a common ancestor and only recently has diverged. A larger percentage of the Palestinian population is Semitic than is the Israeli population. So being anti-Palestinian is being anti-semitic, not the other way around.
Also note that the article will trace Palestinian lineage back to pre-historic times which indicates that it was the Palestinians and their ancestors, the Caananites, not the Jews, settled the area presently populated by Israel. We commonly hear Jews refer to a land without people for a people without a land, however, genetic research clearly shows that the present Palestinian population can be traced back to pre-historic times, in the land of Palestine, which pre-dates the Jewish claim to the lands.
Do not allow yourself to be duped into believing that standing up for the rights of the Palestinian people and fighting Zionism makes you anti-semitic, anti-Jewish or anti-Israel, it makes you a person who has morality and a sense of justice.
Take the time to find the truth...
DNA evidence, archeology and cultural anthropology proves:
Ashkenazi Jews carry components found in European populations, but are rare in Semitic populations.
Geneticists generally agree there was mixing in Middle East populations in prehistoric times. Nebel et al. (2000) doing Y-chromosome haplotype analysis for patrilineal ancestry of Jews and Palestinian Muslims "revealed a common gene pool for a large portion of Y chromosomes, suggesting a relatively recent common ancestry". The two modal haplotypes that comprise the Palestinian Arab clade were very infrequent among Jews, "reflecting divergence and/or admixture from other populations". Nebel et al. regard their findings in good agreement with historical evidence that suggest that "Part, or perhaps the majority, of the Muslim Arabs in this country descended from local inhabitants, mainly Christians and Jews, who had converted after the Islamic conquest in the seventh century AD... These local inhabitants, in turn, were descendants of the core population that had lived in the area for several centuries, some even since prehistoric times.
Arnaiz-Villena, et al. (2001) compared the genetic profile of Palestinians with that of other Mediterranean populations, and argue that:
Archaeologic and genetic data support [the hypothesis] that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian and Anatolian peoples in ancient times.
Because of the common ancestry between Jews and Palestinians, a Jewish claim to the land is also a Palestinian claim to the land as they come from the same ancestry. If genetic evidence can overturn court convictions for murderers, why cant archeology, cultural anthropology and genetics overturn the belief that the Israelis have a historic claim to this land. The DNA evidence is irrefutable, so if the Israeli Jews claim a historical link to the land, then so do their relatives, the Palestinians.
