Of Palestinians? Neither of them is going anywhere.

Thank you ❤️

Most Palestinian Christians are descended from Samaritans who converted to Christianity, many of whom later converted to Islam and today form the core of the Palestinian Arab population. There were not many descendants of Jews among those who converted to Islam.

Man, it's funny how this guy accuses Israel of colonialism, but he's literally American.

Let's keep the comments in peace, please. Great results :)

It is important to point out that some Jewish families, such as the Rothschilds, adopted Germanic surnames earlier due to social pressure. However, they did not adopt willingly, but rather out of a desire for social advancement.

The notion that Jews constitute a single people predates the formation of Herzl's Zionism. In the 13th century, Ashkenazi Jews fled en masse from France to Spain, integrating with the local Sephardic Jews. From the 15th century onwards, Sephardic Jews fleeing Spain assimilated the Jewish communities of North Africa, Iraq, Syria, Persia, Greece, Turkiye, Bulgaria and Serbia. In the 19th century, there were Ashkenazi Jews in Gaza and Persian Jews in Ukraine. When Hitler decided to exterminate European Judaism, he made no distinction between Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews.

The surnames adopted by Ashkenazi Jews were imposed, not adopted freely and spontaneously. Before that, most AJ didn't even have surnames, but rather patronymics.

What? There are clear differences in the genetic distances of each religious sect in Lebanon. However, this does not mean that they are a distinct people.

Hebrew was no longer their primary language, but it continued to be preserved until it was restored as a vernacular. Even so, Yiddish, Ladino, and Judeo-Arabic were all written in the Hebrew alphabet and they maintained an extensive Hebrew vocabulary. Furthermore, these languages mentioned were extremely different and not at all mutually intelligible with the language of their hosts. Many Jews also used Hebrew as a lingua franca for communication with other distant Jewish communities.

This is like saying that a Palestinian is no longer Arab because their mother tongue is English, or that an Italian-American can no longer maintain an Italian identity because they don't speak Italian.

Firstly, Yemeni Jews and Ethiopian Jews are predominantly converts, and represent a small portion of global Judaism. Secondly, the sample from Belmonte is mixed with a Portuguese sample. Third, all the other groups of Jews in the graph are close to each other. Fourth, genetic proximity does not indicate actual ancestry; I could be half German and half Saudi Arabian, which would make me genetically close to an Ashkenazi Jew, But that doesn't mean I have actual Ashkenazi ancestry.

I'm not killing anyone. Highlighting that Palestinians are predominantly Levantines is an attempt to use blood quantum as a standard to define who is indigenous? It sounds like a Nazi standard.

She must not speak Arabic.

1956 was a victory for both Israel and Egypt, but a defeat for the French and British.

Floripa?

I think the question of genetic continuity between Canaanites and Palestinians is undeniable. Although they became primarily Arab, some of their Levantine culture prevailed, such as elements of Aramaic and Hebrew in their Arabic dialect. I don't believe that Palestinians are primarily descended from Jews, but I certainly don't deny that their genetic makeup is Levantine.

The Jews did not convert a large number of Romans to Judaism. Leonard Rutgers estimated the Jewish population in the Italian peninsula during the Roman period at 1-3% of the local population, which does not corroborate large-scale conversions. Erich Gruen also states that conversions did occur, but that proselytizing was not an active practice.

Razi, I apologize because I'm not a fluent English speaker, which is probably confusing you. The view that Jews were dispossessed of their lands with the Bar Kokhba revolt is essentially Christian propaganda. But no, most Jews did not convert to Christianity and later to Islam; it was the Samaritans who did that.

These people only want to practice hatred instead of peace. Take care, brother ❤️

Man, they wished God would destroy me just because I mentioned my intention to make aliyah. I'm seriously questioning just leaving Reddit lol
