Things that make you go "Hmmm."

The victims of the two most notorious genocides of the 20th century (Jews and Armenians), and the two middle eastern minorities most intensely reviled by their muslim neighbors (Jews and Kurds) are genetically related.

Kurds like Israelis too, I've heard.

Kurdistan is the one place in Iraq that is thriving. Just like Israel made a modern, western oasis in the desert, the Kurds are doing the same thing in the mountains.

Technically Arabs and Jews are also genetically related.

"Technically Arabs and Jews are also genetically related."

Go back far enough and we all are. Some races seem to do a better job of picking their mates and advance. However, others are more concerned with keeping their women covered, which hand to wipe themselves, the physical distance between the holy book and a toilet, cartoons etc, and seem to pick mates which, to be kind, are not the pick of the litter.

Lie down with dogs and you get fleas. Lie down with mudslimes and you get what you deserve.

I believe they made up their alleged link to Ishmael. The Arabs werte the "Johnny Come Latelys" to the area. Identity theft for their own tome of falsehoods.

If you'd like to be on this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

..................

Shortly after, it was determined that 53 percent of the Buba clan of the Lemba people of southern Africa have the CMH, compared to 9 percent of non-Buba Lembas. The Lembas claim descent from ancient Israelites, and they follow certain Jewish practices such as circumcision and refraining from eating pork, and for many geneticists and historians the genetic evidence seemed to verify their claim.

aka the Bubba clan, he get's in everywhere.

It's interesting but you can also look at the data the other way - that the Jews are an amalgam of various splinters of the Hebraic peoples - some of whom became Israelites, while others went on to become Kurds, Armenians, etc.

A previous study by Ariella Oppenheim and her colleagues, published in Human Genetics in December 2000, showed that about 70 percent of Jewish paternal ancestries and about 82 percent of Palestinian Arabs share the same chromosomal pool. The geneticists asserted that this might support the claim that Palestinian Arabs descend in part from Judeans who converted to Islam. With their closer relationship to Jews, the Palestinian Arabs are distinctive from other Arab groups, such as Syrians, Lebanese, Saudis, and Iraqis, who have less of a connection to Jews.

This looks ideology-driven to me. The Palestinian Arabs are really the South Syrians. I would like to see data -- which I didn't find even alluded to in the article -- about how different the Palestinian Arabs are from the Syrians from a DNA-analysis perspective.

According to the Bible, Abraham was born in Ur, believed to be in Northern Iraq -- where the Kurds are -- and then moved to Harran, in eastern Turkey -- where the Kurds are.

It would be a surprise if the Jews were not ethnically related to the northern/eastern Mediterranean peoples and the Kurds.

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

"Kurdistan is the one place in Iraq that is thriving. Just like Israel made a modern, western oasis in the desert, the Kurds are doing the same thing in the mountains."

Hmmmm---I wonder if the "Muslim world" made most of its progress when the Kurds were in charge (Saladin) and ceased to do so when the Arabs took over. I haven't studied the history of the rise and stagnation of Islam enough to know.
