Quantitative estimates of Turkic ancestry are low, typically less than 2%, based on studies of autosomal DNA and uniparental markers (e.g., Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA). For instance, a 2013 study by Behar et al. found no significant genetic contribution from populations in the Caucasus or north of it, which would include Turkic groups like the Khazars. Similarly, a 2019 study of Khazar remains showed no genetic connection to Ashkenazi Jews, reinforcing that any Turkic input is negligible.”

You are missing the point.

The person I was responding to noted the different physiognomy of Palestinians compared to Jews despite the fact that the study mentioned in the original post shows that Palestinians are closely related to ancient Jews.

In 1890, the Jewish population of Israel was 43,000. It is currently over 7 million. That increase came from European Jews moving to Israel who have (to varying amounts) less semitic genetics than the native population of that area.

Whether the European admixture is 40%-50% as indicated by on of your previous posts or more or less than that, it will be less than the native population.

This is the reason why the original poster looks at Palestinians and says they don’t look like “Jews”. Because the Jews he is thinking of are partly?, somewhat?, mostly? European and the Palestinians are nearly fully semitic.
