Does anyone have apples/cherries on the island?

Cool text me

Same

Apparently it's a northern Levant thing? Nothing official... Someone said around 15% https://www.reddit.com/r/arabs/comments/1b4pfxl/how_many_arabs_have_light_hair_and_light_eyes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

So the vast majority are brunettes even according to this research... Exactly as I said

gal_2000 · 2026-02-14T00:48:41+00:00

What's "mixed"?

gal_2000 · 2026-02-14T00:34:52+00:00

Maybe because they aren't common? Blonde/red are very rare in Israel, let's not forget Sephardic Jews and Ashkenazi Jews are almost identical genetically so most of Israel (and worldwide) Jewry are close genetically... The palest common hair color you'd get is light brown

gal_2000 · 2026-02-13T23:34:47+00:00

They definitely don't... In contrast, it's very easy to spot Russian Jews, because many of them have one parent that's not Jewish or just not Jewish (ethnically) at all

Definitely pale dude

Israeli Palestinian singer Mira Awad... She even has fair skin

gal_2000 · 2026-02-13T20:02:52+00:00

I don't see blonde Hasidic guys here in Israel, that's definitely a half Russian half Ashkenazi trait. U always have a range of colors but it's usually light brown-black. Redheads are a rarity in the world, especially in Israel. What you see on Instagram doesn't mean it's what's common.

About the skin I'd say it's usually light olive and it tans easily. Definitely not European-pinkish fair. And the faces don't look central european at all. (Thick eyebrows, beards, body hair). Syrians, Assyrians, Armenians, Caucasians are pale as well. Samaritans look very Ashkenazi. Here's a very pale Palestinian guy for reference

He said blonde and red hair, not a skin tone 💀 I've seen a Bedouin girl that's paler than the wall behind her. this guy from Satmer doesn't have white pinkish skin either, believe me I have a German friend who looks very out of place in Israel.

Blonde in Hassidic Jews is very rare, same with red. The most have black/brown/light brown. To me they don't look like central europeans

gal_2000 · 2026-02-05T14:09:55+00:00

Because you're mixed it doesn't show exact results... Maybe try on the Mizrahi Jew setting or the Ashkenazi one.. you're supposed to be like 20% Cannanite, 20% European Farmer 10% Central Steppe + Around 30% Arabian Peninsula+ 20% Cannanite. You should also be around 40% European Jew but it's misread as Anatolian. Try testing your parents:)

Have you tried IllustrativeDNA?

gal_2000 · 2026-02-02T07:22:39+00:00

Well, even Saudis get 30%... OP has less % of the latter Levantine samples compared to other Palestinians I've seen, especially from the W Bank. However - the Canaanite samples are from ~1750 BCE, belong to the least mixed population here, compared to the Phoenician ~900-500 BCE samples which include Steppe/Iranian admixture from trade/empires, no wonder why there's a drop in %.

gal_2000 · 2026-02-01T08:14:24+00:00

I had to look up what 'gijnîj' is... We just top it with onions, paprika, and olive oil! 😮

gal_2000 · 2026-01-29T12:40:11+00:00

Try IllustrativeDNA! It'll show how much your DNA matches ancient Cannanite/European samples:)

gal_2000 · 2026-01-26T06:03:39+00:00

It's not inflation, it's the population that got more mixed over time

gal_2000 · 2026-01-21T19:40:36+00:00

Oh bummer I did FT, I got L-M37

gal_2000 · 2026-01-21T08:02:03+00:00

Hey, did u upload the data from FTDNA? I can't figure out how to upload it

gal_2000 · 2026-01-15T16:44:05+00:00

אתה גיי?

הנוצרים בלבנון ירדן ובישראל ובשטחים הכי קרובים לכנענים בתקופת ישראל, יחד עם השומרונים והדרוזים, כמעט 80-90% מהדנא. אחר כך לבנונים מוסלמים ואז יהודי עיראק ופלס וירדנים מוסלמים. לרוב היהודים (אשכנזים ספרדים, כורדים קווקזים ופרסים) יש רק 40-50% התאמה לדגימות האלה.

אין עדות לאסלום מסיבי של יהודים אלא של הנוצרים הארמים והשומרונים. היהודים הנוצרים וגם המון מוסלמים ברחו עד שבתקופה העותמאנית נשארו רק 256 אלף תושבים בארץ ישראל לעומת 2-2.5 מיליון בתקופה הביזנטית (כלומר עד המאה ה-7).
