The idea that there are no biblical Palestinians is as repugnant as the idea that modern Jews have no lineage within Israel. Only a fool pushes one argument because it legitimizes the other. |
BTW, isn't it in our constitution that we are not supposed to consult the Bible?
|
but don't you know every family tree has some lies in it. |
It might be time to put restrictions on aid to Israel -- tie it to adopting a California style prohibition on circumcision! |
Yes people lie, but Y chromosomes don't. |
The word Palestine comes from "Philistine." In languages such as Arabic and Farsi, "Palestine" is pronounced with an "f", i.e., variants of "Phelesteen."
So there's no disputing that these people lived there side by side with the Jews, if you lend any credence to your Bible. |
do you mean that people who do whoopey always have boy children? |
Uh, no. But it is extremely implausible that all of the men are from ancient palestine and the women are all fakers. But they could easily enough do mitochondrial DNA analysis to replicate the results for women. For all I know it has already been done, but I haven't read that one. |
so your dna analysis will bring peace? |
No, but it nullifies one argument, namely that one or the other group does not have an ancient, historic claim to the territory. This is not insignificant, as an earlier poster brought it up and it has been used by both sides to deny their enemy's legitimacy. And it does a second thing. It points out that both groups have a common heritage. That may not mean much, but it is true. More of this type of evidence will appear in future years, only highlighting that these groups have more in common than they realized. |
The DNA of the women puts them in the country of origin, e.g. Poland, Morocco, Turkey, and so on. |
Which people, and what study are you talking about? |
Mitochondrial DNA of Jewish women. The men migrated and took local wives. The Y DNA often rolls back to Canaan. |
What about Palestinian women? |
holy shit Are you actually taking this thing that seriously? What about the mitocondrial dna of the lesser people? Are they not human too? Tell me because I want to know what I have missed out on and how my human value has been diminished |
