If the Ashkenazim are more related to Europeans, what business do they have doing in the Semitic heartland? Palestinians have genetic ties to people there thousands of years ago and so do Jews.
And so do you and I. The only question is: Are Jews any more similar to Palestinians, or even AS similar to them, as to (say) Kurds, Afghans, Armenians, Turks, or residents of Mosul?
The answer is a resounding NO! Again I say, NO! The DNA studies exist.
