I get the feeling you are linking pseudo scientific articles without really understanding them. A basic thing about science is it is almost impossible to prove the negative. IOW, you have the unfortunate taks of proving that there is not and never will be a link between the DNA of the ancient Americas and the Hebrews. You have started out in an unenviable position. OTOH, I only have to show that there is a link, which unfortunately for you there is.

The Q-P36 genetic haplotype as evidence linking Hebrew and Native American DNA

Researchers have also focused attention on one genetic haplotype as potentially providing evidence in favor of a link between Hebrew DNA and Native American DNA. The haplotype in question, known as Q-P36, is found in 31% of self-identified Native Americans in the US (Hammer 2005, p. 5).[10] It is also found in 5% of Ashkenazi Jews (Behar 2004, p. 357)[11] and 5% of Iraqi Jews. In addition, a rare branch of Q-P36, called Q-M323, is found in Yemeni Jews (Shen 2004, p. 251).[12]

ANother article I can;t find quickly also discusses the mitochondrial link. But don;t let science get in the way or anything. (What next proof of human induced Global Warming)

Besides the arguments you push are built on a straw man argument. The BoM itself never claims that all modern Native Americans are descended from BoM people’s. It does record the fact that there were other people’s already here. IOW, the Jewish DNA is just one group of people’s here.

You have no idea what I understand regarding DNA and genetic tracing. As a matter of fact, the DNA evidence shows Native Americans ARE descended from Asians not Jews ... a proof in the positive that stands up in courts, son. But that was a nice try at dissembling the truth to support your cult’s field of lies.
