Resurrecting the ancient Israelites from the Valley of Dry Bones
by geneticist Dr. Eran Elhaik
[Editor’s Note: VT has known Israeli geneticist Eran Elhaik since 2013 when we spotted the Jewish genome work he was doing at Johns Hopkins.]
We noted right away that he was another of the many academics who do not let ideology and politics influence his scientific research, which is always a breath of fresh air in the geopolitical sewer that VT has to swim in every day.
His work was politically controversial but solid, and he was able to defend it from the shills that attempted to discredit it.
In short, his work showed that Ashkenazic Jews have about as much “people of the land” DNA as some Europeans have Neanderthal DNA.
But Europeans have never referred to themselves as ancient Neanderthals nor laid claim to Africa as the “ancient homeland”, other than the former colonialists before conditions drove them into exile.
Elhaik describes below that the Yemenis have the closest blood links to the ancient Israelis, while the Saudis, with support from Israel, have actually been doing a mini-genocide on these closest relatives of the Ancients.
**My Note: I had to look up who/what this news source VT was.**
This is what it says: *VT is an uncensored independent alternative foreign policy media; a place for intelligent civil discourse focusing on U.S. Foreign Policy and Military Issues around the world.*
*VT operates as de-centralized virtual media providing fully 100% independent writers from the USA and around the world a free and open platform to present information and their points of view without censorship in the spirit of press freedom and democracy.*
*VT is NOT News. It is a blog about Foreign Policy issues with opinions and comments from writers and readers…it’s an international online community discussing the issues.*
*We are proudly 100% USA-owned and operated. Period!*
Wow! If true, this explains a lot, doesn't it?
