There is no reason whatsoever that the genetic relationship between Jews and Arabs should be axed or hidden. Indeed, the biggest anti-zionists, the Arabs, have fed on a steady diet of deconstructionist propaganda suggesting that European Jewish immigrants have no semitism in them. This was shown to be false. Then of course there is the 44% of Jews and their decendants who fled Arab Islamic lands which make up Israel these are ones who remained as diaspora Jews largely in isolation from their neighbours for hundreds and even thousands of years. The issue is not the genetic relationship, which is a given. The issue is that the Pan Arabists, who were responsible for the last great diaspora of Jews from Palestine during the Jihads of the 7th century and following, will not accept a non-dhimmiized Jew in their midst since that was the status of the Jew (as dhimmi) ever since Mohammed entered into the dhimma with the Jews at the Khaybar oasis.

I didn't know that. Radical Islam is dangerous and virulent. The best defense against it is probably a good dose of Western Philosophy. Descartes, Bertrand Russell, and, to really finish off their weird verbal pathology, Language, Truth and Logic by Alfred Ayer. It wouldn't hurt to throw in some arabic translations of Deridda.

I have no problem with this either. Populations tend to mingle peacefully or via war meaning rape. Maybe this is subliminal human intelligence knowing that it's best not to inbreed! This paper got pulled due to politicized anti Israel language. But wooly_bully and others think it's due to conspiracy by Jews. After all, the clever Jews control the sciences. Just look at all the Jewish Noble Prize winners.

Go figure!
