among the Palestinians you also have Moors who had conquered the Iberian peninsula from Morocco generations after after Spain and Portugal took their land back Salaheddine asked them to take back Jerusalem and gave them the neighborhood of the Moroccans this neighborhood has been demolished by the Israelis for the wailing wall the Moors are largely Amazigh and some mixed with Arabic Amazigh Ibersch Italian West African and Serfadic and Ashkenazi Jewish and from earlier with the Phoenician the original inhabitants of the Canaan. you have different Palestinian some Arab so Semitch also have Jewish dna in them so you have a chance that some Palestinian such as the Christians and Muslims have more right than for example the Ashkenazi Jews because they are more European the Serfadic have a lot of Amazigh North African and Iberian in them but also Serphad Jewish. i think the current Egyptians are the original jews and the jews from yemen the rest are all mixed race. so Muslim and Christians from Egypt are Jewish in origin

+Mohamed Abdelhack This will help. The Muslim history in the region of Palestine began in the 630s during the great Muslim conquests. The Roman region of Palestine was conquered by the Muslim armies of the Caliphate (Islamic Empire) under Caliph Umar. Muslim presence in the region has since continued to develop to the present time for nearly 1400 years. Islam was first introduced to the region of Palestine during the Muslim conquests of the 7th century, when armies from the Arabian Peninsula under the Rashidun Caliphate conquered a territory previously under the control of the Byzantine Empire. The Islamization of Palestine occurred as a result of the Islamic conquest in 640. It was a long process that included immigration of Muslim Arabs, as well as other Muslims, from other regions, as well as conversion to Islam by some of the indigenous Christian, Samaritan and Jewish population of the area. Islam did not become the majority religion of Palestine until at least the 9th century and possibly even as late as the Mamluk era (1250-1516). This occurred simultaneously with acculturation of the locals into Arab identity and the establishment of Arabic as the lingua franca, which eventually became their sole vernacular. The Jewish people have long maintained both physical and religious ties with the land of Israel. The first appearance of the name "Israel" in the historic record is the Merneptah Stele, circa 1200 BCE. During the biblical period, two kingdoms occupied the highland zone, the Kingdom of Israel (Samaria) in the north and the Kingdom of Judah in the south. The Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire (circa 722 BCE) and the Kingdom of Judah by the Neo-Babylonian Empire (586 BCE). Upon the defeat of the Babylonian Empire by the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great, the Jewish elite returned to Jerusalem and the Second Temple was built. In 165 BCE, the independent Hasmonean Kingdom was established. Although coming under the sway of various empires and home to a variety of ethnicities, the area of ancient Israel was predominantly Jewish until the Jewish-Roman wars. After this time, Jews became a minority in most regions, except Galilee. The area became increasingly Christian after the 3rd century, though the percentages of Christians and Jews are unknown, the former perhaps coming to predominate in urban areas, the latter remaining in rural areas Jewish settlements declined from over 160 to 50 by the time of the Muslim conquest. Michael Avi-Yonah calculated that Jews constituted 10-15% of Palestine's population by the time of the Persian invasion of 614 while Moshe Gil claims that Jews constituted the majority of the population until 7th century Muslim conquest. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_history_in_Palestine_region en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamization_of_Palestine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Palestine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_and_Judaism_in_the_Land_of_Israel

Well, if you do not conflate the terms Palestinians and Muslims then this is no counter-argument, the term Palestinian contains everyone who called this land home before the whole mess of the state of Israel began and if the Jew refugees had decided to stay in the land without kicking out the people who were living there they would have become Palestinians themselves... The same thing happened to the whole region, even Palestine had some Arabic-speaking tribes unlike places like Morocco, Tunisia... But they are the same people of the land, they mixed up with other races which is inevitable due to the position of this piece of land but that doesn't make them outsiders. Some residents were Jewish and converted to other religions some long time ago, are those also considered outsiders?

@@maidy199 I agree with the first part, Jewish Israeli's are no less Palestinians than Arabs as fact is the word Palestinian was used for all who were in the land during the British times here. Before the British came, (i.e. Ottoman empire) neither Jew nor Arab was calling him or herself Palestinian. Nobody would have even thought to connect back to Roman Palestine, except maybe some historians or Christians. Your statement about "if the Jew refugees had decided to stay in the land without kicking out the people who were living there" is ridiculous. I don't want to get into a never ending argument about this place and time in modern history because it has become so politicized. But to make it seem like Israel just kicked people out without mentioning. A) Arab refusing any compromise such as the 1947 Partition which would have led to the two states, or how about not mentioning that many left on their own because their leaders told them to because they thought they would return when Israel was defeated. It's a sad reality for these people because it was their leaders who screwed them over (and them kept using them as political prisoners) and I am not claiming that Israel was perfectly innocent and did nothing wrong or kicked nobody out, I'm sure some were kicked out, it was a harsh war. but the way you make this out to be one sided is wrong and unfair. Anyway what is more important than the past is the present. There are two peoples here now and we need a solution for every suffering or innocent person on both sides such as the two state solution.

90% of all Palestinians are immigrants or descendants of immigrants who arrived in Palestine since 1836. 50% are immigrants or descendants of immigrants who arrived in Palestine since 1900. they came from all over the middle east as far away as morroco and iran. some are even circassians from Russia. most are from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and what is now Saudi arabia. you can tell where they're from by the dialect of Arabic they speak. most speak Egyptian, Syrian or Bedouin dialects. Arafat and Said were born and raised in Egypt. abbas' parents were from Syria. erakat's parents were from Saudi arabia. they have a right to live in Israel/Palestine as do the jews. but please don.t give me this lie that they are indigenous to the area!

@@maidy199 Muslims are Arabs. Jewish is an ethnic group. The Arabs conquered it because they aren't indigenous.

That's what happens when some random guy comes up to you in the middle of the street and starts asking you about politics while you're going somewhere

Bud it’s okay to be sad, because notice most of the Jews said their native and in the other video the Arabs said they didn’t.

Most Israelis don’t know the truth, it’s history, most people aren’t very educated in foreign history. What I can tell you is that arabs came from Arabia, that’s it.

Nitsan Nishri you mean all Arabs Come from Arabia or just Palestinians ?

anonymouse Arabs came from Arabia, Jews came from Judea

judios tu lo has dicho,pero jlos jazaros sionistas y askenazis nada que ver

Israel is over 50% Arab Jewish and the Ashkenazi Jews didn’t immigrate they escaped Europe. That is why the Palestinian Arab terror didn’t work like in Algeria for example where the French got back to France. The Jews don’t have where to go back.

TEBAOS 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The difference is that that would be a theoretical country in AlAndalus. Israel exists, has a government, has people born there. So actually, your argument could be used for the refugees born in Lebanon and Syria who claim to be from "Palestine".

@@cielarko6210 Al Andalus was a real country. How is that theoretical?

But Arabs took Spain by force. Jews were naturally in Canaan.

You didn't "lived" there, you conquered it. No body argues that Arabia is the homland of arabs. Also if the Palestinians were really indigenous they would care about tracking their history in the land 2000 years ...

Yes and im sure he is morrocan like all the other israelis

@Alden Buyer Palestinians didn't come from 20+ countries, but Israelis did though, apparently.

Jews are famous for the pot calling the kettle black.

They're right though, there has never been a country called Palestine so they're not from there at all. Sure, the Jews also come from a lot of places these days but that's because they've been forced out over and over again, and then decided to move back later. If anyone doubts that Jews originally lived there, they're either ignorant of history or just ideologues with an obvious agenda. The guy talking about Palestine being a British invention is absolutely right, it was just the name of the region and nothing else. It's like someone today deciding to make a political group called "State of Balkan" and then laying claim to all of Balkan. It's ridiculous.

@@gnawershreth They're not right, there was a country called Philistine. There was never a country called Israel though.

Sonny Day, That doesn't mean that the current people claiming to Palestinians have any connection to ancient groups who lived there just because they use similar sounding names. There was once a Kingdom of Prussia as well but if you make a political group called "State of Prossia" (spelled differently but you claim to "be them".) that doesn't mean you now have a claim to the former lands of Prussia. "The State of Palestine" is a political group formed in 1988 ffs, and they deliberately chose that name to lay claim to everything that has to do with the name's former usage. It's exactly like someone making a "State of Balkan" group and claiming the entire Balkan region. You also saw the same with the whole Macedonia - Greece stuff. Today's Macedonians claimed to be the original people of that area, they claimed part of Greek history as their own, their claimed historical Greek heroes as theirs etc. because they used the same name as the Greeks had previously used. Today's Macedonians are a (relatively speaking) new people to that area and when you hear about "Macedon" in history, that's Greek history, Greek peoples etc. Just because a new group shows up and adopts words, names etc. of the ancient past, doesn't mean that they're the same group.

They keep saying that before they came, the land was empty. That here were no trees or people. Like how many lies are Israel telling to their people? I mean I guess they would have to tell these lies in order for them to be able to rationalise the idea of their country existing

He was referring to completely different time periods. He said he heard it was empty in the 1860’s but the Roman province was from 2000 of years ago and the presenceof the Philistines much before that.

@@foreveravatar5874 they talking about 3000 years ago after the roman empire expled the Jews from their country the land became empty only had a little Jewish population and the control of Roman empire it was named Palestine to humiliate the Jewish nation because Pales means in Hebrew invading and colonizing

@@jellyfishstarfish8427 yes

Indigenous means having distinctive features that originate in a certain area ( unlike native).

local here refers to the levant in general, not specifically palestine.

also. Israelites as a people arose in the late bronze age. Based on some data I've seen, Jews do not have early bronze age canaanite dna, let alone neolithic. So palestinians having neolithic dna from the region doesn't support them being descended from Jews, quite the opposite actually.

That’s a haplogroup study. Haplogroups amount to less than 1% of a person’s DNA when Y-Chromosomes are tested. You must consider autosomal and whole genome testing which considers 100% of a person’s ancestry. If we look at the autosomal results of the ancient Canaanites we can see that Palestinians are far more related to them than Jews are (and this more indigenous). Take for example this distance chart here, using an Iron Age Canaanite sample from the Megiddo archeological site, it shows Palestinians are the closest in genetic distance by far and that all Levantines are closer in distance than all Jews with Ashkenazi Jews being the furthest away and Iraqi Jews being the closest Jews but still equidistant. More green and smaller number is closer in distance (genetically more similar to the ancient sample) and more purple and a larger number is more distant (genetically least similar to ancient sample): Megiddo_IA:14517: ibb.co/yVNX2LN

@@user-fk8xm2gy5i as israel

Well, I come from Old Yishuv (Hebron), and Mark Twain wasn't the only writer who went through that area of the Levant. Turkish Tax Rolls and population counts, (The Effendi Class being the Tax Collectors via Tax Farming, as well as the largest landowners) show that large parts of the Levant were depopulated. Continuing aridity to desertification due to climate change and poor agricultural practices had caused this. Bedouin Raiders took Fellehin slaves for their Date Farms, etc. And the mixed ethnic population now called "Palestinians" was on the decline. It was those Zionist Jews whose ancestors had been marched out of the Levant by the Romans who brought western medicine, new agricultural practices, scientific methodologies, and the willingness to work, changed land nobody except them really wanted...and they bought from the Turks, the Effendi, and Absentee Landlords who didn't give a thought to their Sharecroppers, the Fellehin population, whose life expectancy was short, and who never ruled themselves above the Mukhtar Level. This was a backwater of the Ottoman Empire, and any real life in the area was in Beirut and Syria. Much of the land was dying and dead before the Zionist Jews came. The Guela was a malarial swamp. They drained it, made good farmland, people returned. The Grand Mufti's Family sold land to Zionist Organizations, and even pushed their own Felleh Share Croppers off of it in order to sell it. The Turks approved land sales to Jews from Europe that the Effendi wanted to make....and then the Grand Mufti refused to live under Hashemite Rule, and he wanted Kingship for his own Family....and the Brits wouldn't give it to him. He was busy trying to kill Jews and take their Lands long before Israel existed, and when the other Nation States that resulted from the Sykes-Picot Agreement were recognized, He and his refused the one given to the "Palestinians" in order to shut him up....his red headed, blue eyed self had spent WW2 in Berlin licking Hitler's Ass and setting up Muslim Regiments for him. All because he didn't want a Hashemite over him. His Family's hereditary rule of all the Muslims of the Area? He was a seriously bad one...as were his family of converted Christians who wanted to keep the lands their Crusading had taken for them....no matter what....so when folks start making sounds about Indigenous and Native, who is who....remember this, the Levant was a backwater of corruption, slaving and poverty where the Turks didn't care what happened as long as they got their taxes, and they maintained control.....The Brits and French did what they do best, look out for their own best interests, and made promises they couldn't keep....so no Daviess87, you don't know your history of the Levant, and you shouldn't be spouting until you do. Go, spend some time in the Turkish Archives, in the British Archives.....and see what was actually written, recorded over the hundreds of years regarding the dunams of Land laid waste in that area....

It was known as Israel long before it was called Palestine by some. For example, the 9th Cen. BCE archaeological find, the Mesha Stele aka Moabite Stone mentions Israel and a king of Israel, namely Omri. The Mesha Stele is housed in The Louvre in Paris, France. Your turn. Cite one archaeological evidence for the Palestinians.

Deciduous Horn No one cares what the land was called 3,000 years ago.

Daveissa87 Predictable. I get this response when the Arab side can't come up with one archaeological evidence(s) for the "Palestinians."

mara cohen What about families who were part of the upper class elite during the Ottoman times? They didn't have it better once the Ottoman empire ended and everything fell to hell between both sides.

Apart from what you mentioned, there's not that much of a difference (in appearance) between Jews and Palestinians. There are Jews that look white, there are Jews that look like the stereotypical West Asian/Middle Easterner, and there are Jews that look black (like the Ethiopians). Likewise for the Palestinians, there are some that look white, there are others that look like the stereotypical Middle Easterner/West Asian, and there are even some that look black too. If you keep watching his videos, most of the Jews and Palestinians (apart from the black Palestinians) will be represented (in some way, shape, or form) in his videos.

@@eliran9231 The Jordanians had absolutely nothing to do with the Palestinians after 1967; only Israel controlled the land in 1967, when the settler movement started.

The fault for this lies with the Israeli governments who didn't have the backbone to follow international law and stop the settlements.

No Fatima, Look up the Ghassanid/Sassanid Wars. Specifically Binyamin of Tiberias. This was long after the Bar Kochba Rebellion against the Romans. rencrow hasn't a clue to the history of the Levant, and he has swallowed a lot of rotten propaganda fish whole, which explains his spew here. Zionism is a political movement whose aim is to insure Jewish (a Levantine Ethno-Religious Group) self determination in their ancient Homeland. The fact that Israel is their ancient Homeland is very well documented, both in the Histories of Egypt, Syria, and Persia, as well as the Archeological evidence. My own Family came from Hebron and Jerusalem, and did not immigrate from europe.

I am not talking about the hebrew peoples, of which there is a very small population. Im talking about the fact that most of "Israelis" today are jewish polish and russian people.

It makes zero sense

Fatima Here is the problem. We the Jews came from Europe North Africa Horn of Africa Middle East etc because we were exiled because of the diaspora which was forced upon us by the Romans. Yet genetically we are middle eastern and we originate from Judea/Samaria. The Arabs Palestinians are not from Judea/Samaria.

The Archbishop of Jerusalem surrendered the City of Jerusalem to the Caliph Umar at that time. If you are an Arab Palestinian, either by birth or by full colonization (culture) you are not Indigenous to the Levant.

@@maracohen5930 that may be your opinion but it’s highly contested, I’m not about to argue with you but not all arab Palestinians immigrated here in that time a lot converted or were originally Muslim. The original Palestinians and the Michari Jews are the 2 most closely genetically close groups on earth

@@andremackron9827 having a Mizrahi Grandma whose family was butchered by the Mufti ‘s men during the Arab destruction of the Hebron Jewish Community in 1929, I am somewhat more than familiar with who and what Mizrahi Jews and both ethnic Arabs and Arabicized peoples are and are not. Your failure is to not comprehend that you are racist, and are attempting to utilize DNA as the standard of which groups are, or are not Indigenous to a specific area. Using the biological definition of the term “Indigenous” all Humanity are Indigenous to Africa. Using the cultural anthropological definition, culture and cultural/historical ties, and genetic histories are factors for defining the working standards for defining which groups are, or are not “Indigenous” to a specific place. These include such cultural ties as oral traditions such as beginning and teaching stories, sacred spaces, as demonstrated by archeology, language, ethnogenesis tradition, et al. Once those ties are broken, those who are no longer connected with them, and have n connection with them are no longer part of that Indigenous People. DNA is only factor. And no, this is not merely an “opinion” you ignorant git. Go read your Martinez-Cobo to actually learn about what you incompetently have chosen to make erroneous conclusions regarding. Ethnic Arabs are Indigenous to the south eastern Arabian Peninsula, not the Levant. Arabicized Peoples such as the Amazigh or the Kurds have maintained their cultural ties to their pre Arab Conquest past to maintain their Indigenous identities. “Palestinian” is an Arab Nationalist identity, invented as part of a 1964 propaganda campaign for the mixed Arab and Arabicized groups that are part of the old Ottoman subject population that called itself “Arabs”, Greek, Sudanese, Circassian, Chechen, and the other groups brought in by the Ottomans, on top of remnants of those in residence prior, all the way back to the Roman conquest and colonization, with the additions of the illegal Arab migrations into the Mandatory during the Brit Administration. The shocking number of “racist” idiots who know nothing regarding Indigenous Studies and Academic Disciplines, nonetheless historical illiteracy is appalling. They can contest all they want to. Doesn’t mean a hill of beans.

+Rami Did you watch the video? The Jews look just like most Middle Eastern people. Some are light-skinned, but so is Bashar Assad. Is he not an Arab or a Middle Easterner because he has blue eyes and pale skin?

+dmitri shufutinsky Just because some Jews share the same skin tone as many East Mediterranean natives does not mean they are from the same origin. it just means they came from similar environment.

+Rami Please, everyone knows these people are from the middle east, even their dna proves it.

Mer E Israeli society is an immigrant society and not much different than other immigrant societies like the Americans. It includes anything from black to Asian to European and of course some Middle Easterners.

How nice. Can't say that for the surrounding countries. You mean jews, muslims and christians living together?

Imran Hussain God did not limit Judaism to the inhabitants of a geographical area. Judaism has played an important role in Ethiopia and Yemen. If you want to find out why the majority of Jews came from Central and Western Europe then read this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkenazi_Jews#History_of_Jews_in_Europe_before_the_Ashkenazim

Jewish culture is matrilineal. So if a Jewish woman 2000 years ago married some European man, the kids would still be Jewish, and as it continued (the Jewish daughter marries another European local man and they make kids who become Jewish by default because their mum is Jewish etc), they begin to look like blond/white/blue-eyed people, but are still officially (and genetically) and culturally Jewish. Because the mum has to be Jewish. So we can consider these European-looking Jews to be direct descendants of the ones who landed in Europe after the ransacking of Jerusalem by the Roman army.

@Lena Samuel I agree - and most Jews carry Canaanite DNA (as do other inhabitants of the Levant). A lot depends on how you define 'indigenous,' but as the Jews did not assimilate in the Diaspora and still speak a Phoenician language and practice an ancient Levantine religion, they have a very strong claim to being indigenous (I believe that most modern historians believe that the Ancient Israelites emerged from the Canaanites rather than having conquered them as per the Biblical accounts, and DNA studies seem to back this up). On the other hand, most Levantine 'Arabs' have very little Arab ancestry (this is true of many Arabic speaking peoples - most Arabic speaking North Africans are not Arabs but Amazighs) - much depends, I think, on specific family histories, as some families came from the Balkans, Turkey, Kurdistan, Egypt, etc. - but I think the Jews, Lebanese and most Palestinians descend from the same Canaanite/Phoenician populations. For myself, I'm not sure if it is all that important - Israelis and Palestinians need to look to the future and find a way to make peace.

@@chicawhappa Its a purely religious and cultural thing. We are all decended from a multitude of places. Some arabs in the area converted from jews and some will have become christians. Its not so easy to narrow down who is a jew and who isn't.

Really ? I think many Jews have Mediterranean and Levantine looks, some of them are very dark, definitely from the middle East

well he is right, they are arabs they didnt came from that land, they got there in the 700AD when jews were there from 1300BC to 113AD.

Appropriation of the title Palestinian as a nationality marker for Arabs started only in July 1964.

+Nabil Arifi We have over 3000 years of history in Israel, yet not one single piece of archaeology supports any arab palestinian people ever living there before 300 years

המילניום ברושים I'm saying YOU. I'm not talking about anchient Israelites. Those guys are long gone or lived in small communities between Palestinians. You're ancestors on the other hand, derived from all over the world and adopted Judaism. So that 3000 years of history is the same as a black guy claiming to be related to ancient Egypt. It's history hijacking.

+‫המילניום ברושים‬‎ You do know what you just said ( about no arabs before 300 years ) right? In the region Palestine/Israel many Arabs among others have been living t least since Arabs first conquered it. And semites of many different tribes etc ( including jews) have been living in the region for much longer. I also disagree with nabil who concludes Jewish claims are baseless...which though complicated is not true. Yes jews have been mixing with others but so has every other group of people...maybe jews much less than others.

+Nabil Arifi jews have been mixing with other peoples like every other group of people...jews and armenians and some other groups have done that much less than others. For example most arabs now were not arabs 1000 years ago..many were semites but not arabs whcih makes it a bit complicated. Jews did fled to every corner of the world, you are not saying that some chinese or europeans just at some point decided to become jews. Yes there have been intermarriages and genetical differences with the original populations ( yes populations because even in the early jewish history there were different jewish communities and even states) . It is a complicated discussion and we should not make caricature out of it and compare it with a black guy who claims heritage from the farao's. First we don't know if and which farao's were black or mixed. There is nothing to suggest it. Personally i think there is a possibility that few blacks and more mixed farao's could have been. Ancient times racism as we know it was not yet present as was nationalism as we know it.

inaccurate....turks have about 6-18% turkic genetics which makes the people indigenous to that place. Arabs were probably something like that warriors came and settled in mixed with people living there ....i heard genetics say that jews and palestinians share a lot of similar genes which would make sense because all over the world it seems to work like that. 2 other enemies azerbaijanis and armenians have exact same genetics...but different language/ religion and hate each other looooool

@@MK-ov2hr the arabs are genetically related to the ancient canaanites. The canaanites inhabited the land before the existe of israel. The land of canaan was conquered by jews and called land of canaan. Even the thora and the bible talk about the canaan being conquered.

@@MK-ov2hr yes, north Africa was conquered thousands of years ago but there is no occupation.

@@ef2718 lol

Is it alot worse now?

and today? @@sidimightbe3246

mara cohen You know history very well :)

All are humans and created by same God.

mara cohen, precisely. Indigenous means the original people group who inhabited a geographical area. Did the Palestinians inhabit Israel from thousands of years ago? No, they have, what, 200 years of history in Israel? (And I agree Palestine is a very bad name; how about the Levant?) The Jewish have a time period that dates back several millennia, even thousands of years before the were put in the exile in 70AD. The BDS, Anti-Israeli groups will say that the Ashkenazim are "White" Europeans and don't have any place in the Land. They don't believe or realize that they are somehow Semitic because they look White, but there are certain diseases like Tay Sachs that occur just about exclusively in the Ashkenazim. And the Jewish Bible is an excellent source of historical events.

the definition doesn't cover the people who originally occupied that piece of land. Israel is real

As Aramean Syrians we don’t respect that , we’re indigenous for sure.

you could say that about the palestinians too since they are Arab lol

@Jsg u you shut up

@Jsg u WTH??? ignorant

Everything I said was factually correct Forced conversion to Islam are the norm - you can see it going on in Africa right now, no need to look any further

***** Read the news Young girls are being kidnapped in Africa and forcibly convert as we speak Same for the girls and women unfortunate enough to find themselves in ISIS's path Not talking history here, it's in the news

+CheekyMonkey888 Fox News no doubt? Idiot dumb ass the news you watch is one sided then your trying to tell me you got facts lmfao

Dinosaur Productions You just made my point

***** Take a look a pictures dating back to the turn of the century Small settlements, malaria infested marshland, vacant desert The Jews and Arabs that lived then were extremely poor and politics was not their priority, food was

how long? You arabs will never be europeans. That long

our civilization started before your prophet mohammad was born dummy

Except, all Modern Jews still have 50% of Canaanite DNA after 2500 years of diaspora. The Canaanites were only in Israel. So how are they not indigenous??

@@shainazion4073 really even the converts? Please don’t make up statistical information that isn’t factual nor can be substantiated. Canaanite dna you say? Diaspora? Please. Go read that bed time story to someone else. We’re adults here. You mean Levantine dna from every other country except the current apartheid state that some followers of Judaism are residing in. So where do you substantiate a 50% interval from? For “modern Jews” You can’t be indigenous AFTER the creation of the state. Still foreign to the land in every aspect.
