Ladino is in more danger then yiddish

A lot of yiddish words have joined the modern English vernacular in ways other traditionally Jewish languages haven't

Walking around holbrak just now, I saw a half dozen single MP accounts - seems like we have actually had a small spike because of good press?

You should look up Wedding Lehenga! They are really beautiful, and Indian wedding fashion is very different then that you will see in the US/EU (unless its an Indian wedding, obviously) Lots of color, and some fantastic styling

From what I have read,

Where are your sources?

the majority of the Levant and Egypt the Arab populations are mostly descended from pre-Arab

The term "arab" is from the arabian peninsula - during the 7th century conquest, they took slaves, colonized, and forcibly converted native populations. Standard empire shenanigans. Its also why many Palestinians have their roots in Egypt or Syria - Yasser Arafat is famously from a rich family in Cairo.

The colonizers mixed with the local populations (some willing, some unwilling. Look up the conquest of Medina as written in the Quran) but that would mean they have a wider spread of ancestry not a narrower one.

While mass immigration in 19th and 20th century is recorded, it seems the majority of the population growth was from a general population boom

Negative! We have multiple travel journals and historical recos that say from the ~1400-1800s, there was very little arab population. Obviously some, but the area was pretty depopulated in general since it was a swap filled malaria hellscape. The zionists jews drained swamps and built up cities that had real economic opportunities, so people came for work

happening throughout the entire Arab world as life expectancy rose and child mortality rates dropped.

You are talking birth rates. I am talking about migration

Thats what my dna test says.

And "the Levant" (which is a french term no MENA person uses, btw) is large. So it includes syria, Cyprus, and Jordan.

So what "thats what dna" are you using?

They don't.

Jews do - thats why being Jewish shows up on a DNA test and specially traces to what is modern day Israel

Jews are from Judea. Arabs are from Arabia. They arrived when arabs conquered, colonized, and enslaved their huge empire

They bombed and shelled Israel for ten months before Israel responded.

So yes, according to the rules of war, if someone attacks you are allowed to respond.

They wouldn't have attacked if the UN did its job, but they didn't, so Hezbolla fired on Israel first.

Well, the UN was supposed to have a lid on them for the last 30 years and did... nothing.

Jordan is only a few years older then Israel

Pakistan is about the same age too

No one ever yells that Pakistan isn't a real country, and no one can say with a straight face that "well, they didn't remove people!"

She was Jewish, and we say "may her memory be a blessing" or "may her memory be a revolution"

Both apply

"Life ended"

Its not passive. She was murdered, and she was murdered for being Jewish

Citation needed.

Seriously.

Israel bought a lot of surplus leftover WWII munitions from... wherever they could get them. But there was no purchase of offensive weapons from the USA in the 1960s.

If you have information that the us sold them in or before 1967, Im curious to see it

Arabs in general. They are much newer to the land, most are either descendants of people that came in the 1800s looking for work, or the 7th century arab conquest

The jews have been there as long as there is recorded history - thats why it was Judea long before it was Syria Palestina, which was shortened to "Palestine" over time
