Is it any coincidence that Israelis and Palestinians are closely related genetically?
A 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 [Latin, Iudaea'] who converted to Islam. Not Judahites.
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.
You are referring to the Sephardic Jews, who are not Israelites. From Jewish Encyclopedia IV, 1902, p 335, it reads, "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an 'Israelite' or a 'Hebrew'". -- 1980 Jewish Almanac, 1st chapter "Identity Crisis".
From Kevin Alan Brook’s, “The Genetic Bonds Between Kurds and Jews”, he quotes an article in the November 2001 issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics, Ariella Oppenheim of the Hebrew University of Israel wrote that this new study revealed that Jews have a closer genetic relationship to populations in the northern Mediterranean (Kurds, Anatolian Turks, and Armenians) than to populations in the southern Mediterranean (Arabs and Bedouins). These people have a predominant craniometrical characteristic of being brachycephalic.
Archaeologists classify the race of any historic culture by head shape. There are some other supporting metrics, but head shape and cranial capacity are primary determinants, because racially it does not change.
The remains of ancient Israelites consistently show they were "long-headed" (dolichocephalic) with an average cranial capacity identical to that of northern Europeans. Jews today are predominantly brachiocephalic (round-headed) and having on average a smaller cranial mass of Sino-Asians (also brachiocephalic).
This fact alone tells us Sephardic Jews are not ancient Israelites.
Africans have all types of shaped cranials.
Euros do too.
God designed Africa in the shape of a human head.
Africans have complete cranial development.
God speaks of the magnificent Ethiopians.
Doesn't talk too much about Europeans tho.
There was no israel when Christ was born anyway.
That's why I sense the research is faulty.
God designed folk for the region they were planted.
Northern Euros were not adapted for that region at that time in history.
Perhaps they found the bones of an explorer and they built a legend of lost culture a "Lost Colony" type of thing.
People enjoy these tales.
You need to argue your case to the scholars. I am only quoting what is well-established in archaeology that's been established for a long time. It's actually far more complicated than you may be interpreting it. Not just cranial shape is a determinant, but cranial capacity also. Negroid is also dolichocephalic, however the avg. cranial capacity is 1319 cc. This presents a dilemma in that the predominance of modern Jews, especially Ashkenazi Jews are brachycephalic (round-headed). Other metrics such as dental (i.e. palate, palatine suture shape, teeth size and crowding, incisor shape), nose (i.e. nasal aperture – shape, length, width, and height), and mastoid process (i.e. shape) is also very different from Israelite remains. (https://jenjdanna.com/blog/2012/7/10/forensics-101-race-determination-based-on-the-skull.html)
Archaeologists use certain metrics called anthropometry to determine the gender, age, and race of human remains found at historic sites as part of understanding the origins of people and its culture. As part of anthropometry is craniometrics, which is used to determine the racial component of human remains. It is the measurement of shape and capacity of the human cranium. Craniometry is a permanent determinant of race and is immutable (i.e. never changes in time).
“As is at present accepted by nearly all anthropologists, the shape of the head is the most stable characteristic of a given race” (Jewish Encyclopedia IV, 1902, p 335).
For example, “the cephalic index of the Egyptians has remained unchanged for four to five thousand years" (E. E. Jessel, The Unknown History of the Jews, p. 184)
The racial attribute of the ancient Israelites is remarkable because it does not match the physical identifying metrics of Jews today. Ancient Israelite skulls were dolichocephalic (long-headed). The avg. cranial head capacity was measured to be 1416 cc. This fits the physical metric of Northern Europeans.
“Here’s a paradox… an anthropological fact, many Christians may have much more Hebrew-Israelite blood in their veins than most of their Jewish neighbors.” Alfred M. Lilienthal, Jr., What Price Israel (Chicago, 1953) p.223
“On an examination of the figures in this table a remarkable uniformity of the cephalic index of the modern Jews will be noticed… nearly 90% are between 81.5 and 83…. Another remarkable fact is the striking absence of the dolichocephalic type, which is characteristic of all the other modern Semitic races” (Jew. Enc. IV, 1902, p 334).
“The most important problem suggested by a study of craniometrical results concerning Jews is the relation of the type head of the modern Jews to that of the ancient Hebrews and to the modern Semitic skulls. The pure Semitic skull is dolichocephalic, as may be seen from a study of the heads of modern Arabs, Abyssinians, Syrians…. The only way the type of head may change is by intermixture with other races. If the ancient Hebrews were of the same stock as the modern non-Jewish Semites, and if the modern Jews are their descendants, then a pure dolichocephalic type of head would be expected among the Jews. As has been seen, all results of Craniometry prove that the Jews are brachycephalic, and that the dolichocephalism form is only found among them in less than two percent of the cases” (Jew. Enc. IV, 1902, p 335).
“Some anthropologists are inclined to associate the racial origins of the Jews, not with the Semites, whose language they adopted, but with the Armenians and Hittites of Mesopotamia, whose broad skulls and cuffed noses they appear to have inherited” (Jew. Enc. X, 1903, p 264).
“And are not they [today’s Jews] the inventors of the Chosen People myth?” Dr. Oscar Levy, preface, The World Significance of the Russian Revolution, George Pitt Rivers (Oxford, 1920) p. vi
This means Jews today are not related racially to the ancient Israelites.
Your last sentence is true.
Anything written about Africans by Europeans is suspect.
Africans have a fully developed cranium. Germans are next.
Most other. People have flat rear cranium areas
Jews have been lying since Jesus rose from the dead.
Their encyclopedia would not be my first choice of info.
Ethiopia is still around tho...
95% of Israelis are Ashkenazi and have no genetic relationship to the Levant, but rather the steppes of the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. I'll provided more information on this in a momment, but first a little more information on the genetics if Sephardim Jews.
As an addition to what I posted, I think the following is important to add to which I ended it by showing the genetic relationship of Palestinians to Jews. Albeit, the study is indeed noteworthy, there is even more definitive information. The study above by Michael Hammer et al., had identified a genetic connection between Arabs (especially Syrians and Palestinians) and Jews, but had not tested Kurds, so it was less complete. More on this a little later.
A 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 [Latin, Iudaea'] who converted to Islam. As a side note, recall that the Israelites were carried off into captivity and the vacated lands were repopulated by the dictates of the Assyrians and foreigners were settled there. Later, the same was carried out by the Babylonians. Also, note that the Edomites were allies of king Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon and they were rewarded by inheriting the lands of Judah as part of the spoils of war.
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.
In 2001, a team of Israeli, German, and Indian scientists discovered that the majority of Jews around the world are closely related to the Kurdish people – more closely than they are to the Semitic-speaking Arabs or any other population that was tested.
Ashkenazic Jews have ancestors who lived in central and eastern Europe, while Sephardic Jews have ancestors from southwestern Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East. The Kurdish Jews and Sephardic Jews were found to be very close to each other. Both of these Jewish populations differed somewhat from Ashkenazic Jews, who mixed with European peoples during their diaspora.

These people have a predominant craniometrical characteristic of being brachycephalic.
The researchers suggested that the approximately 12.7 percent of Ashkenazic Jews who have the Eu 19 chromosomes – which are found among between 54 and 60 percent of Eastern European Christians – descend paternally from eastern Europeans (such as Slavs) or Khazars.

Incomplete synopsis.
The overarching drive is fundamental Islam brought on by the Brotherhood which goes waaaay back. It is a religious mindset.
Now enter the several deep states and their agendas fanning the flames for profit, power and control. ( including the MB who is seated at the UN via Turkey)
No moderate Islamic state that wants to prosper in todays world wants the troubles this secular belief system brings with it, except possibly the Taliban and Iran.
Many have worked hard to expel it for years, particularly Egypt after the Shah fell.
Many chess pieces at play here. A holy war is what the DS’s want.
As one poster here puts it the only winning move is not to pay, I say Not to Play…
TLDR: A large majority of Palestinians are religious hardliners. Those in the Gaza Strip more then most. Most of the ruling factions in the rest of the Middleeast baring maybe Iran and Afghanistan are comparatively moderate. And have struck a careful balance of power. Between their own domestic hardliners and the more moderate ruling groups. Introducing more hardliners would inevitably cause unrest.
Outside influence or not. That is simply how that math would play out. The only thing that the front groups accomplish. PLO, Hamas etc. Is turning a process that would take years of building pressure. Into a process of a few months to a year.

They likely omitted the Ashkenazi Jews from the study to skew the results.

If only they would just elect better leaders, they wouldn't have all these problems. I'm sure their elections are just as honest as ours.

This is a great explanation.
