Though the finding may seem intuitive, it contradicts the notion that European Jews mostly descend from people who left Israel and the Middle East around 2,000 years ago. Instead, a substantial proportion of the population originates from local Europeans who converted to Judaism, said study co-author Martin Richards, an archaeogeneticist at the University of Huddersfield in England.
This not true, and the human genome hadn’t even been completed at the time. I’m anti Israel have been all my life. But this just isn’t true.
I don’t understand. this is a study from 2013, and the genome was mapped by 2003
Refutation without a counter source isn’t welcome here. Wasting people’s time is a troll tactic. It is another thing if you had a source that proves your claim, but you don’t.
The genome study is one evidence, another evidence is their susceptibility to melanoma unlike the indigenous Palestinians.
It’s not enough being anti-Israel if you still promote the foundational myths of Zionism. Ashkenazi Jews are not indigenous to Palestine or any part of the Middle East.
