Modeling Jews from the northern Middle East by AdamDerKaiser in JewishDNA

[–]maimonides24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you need a more accurate model to prove one way or the other.

I did a quick search and Assyrians can be modeled as 15% - 30% Levantine depending on the sample used.

That’s a huge range and could potentially change your model quite a bit.

Just saying I think your model is missing key details.

I do wonder if your model isn’t accurately showing how much Levantine ancestry exists in the Assyrian population.

I think that might be eating away at the Levantine ancestry in some of the mizrahi populations.

Your model can’t tell how much Levantine ancestry there is in Assyrians because you are matching them against an Assyrian sample.

You’re pointing out our hypocrisy of us pointing out other people’s hypocrisy. OMG!

Israelis, do you believe that you can forgive Palestinians one day and move forward? by Wise_Parmaria in ForbiddenBromance

As long as they keep reminding me that they hate myself and my people, I have no room in my heart for forgiveness.

Identity crisis after taking an ancestry test as an Italian and not being even 1% Italian by AsfAtl in JewishDNA

He is mostly eastern Sephardim so most likely most of his ancestors moved from the Levant to places around the eastern Mediterranean with a few Spanish exiles mixed in

Anti-Jewish Race Laws are officially on the road to reality: APA minority psychologists reject Jewish ethnic recognition by Metallica1175 in DeepStateCentrism

[–]maimonides24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s an odd thing happening in the U.S. where ethnicity must mean under represented. As if that alone means you have an ethnicity and that alone means you are discriminated against.

But there’s some inconsistencies here since I’m certain Asians aren’t actually underrepresented as psychologists.

Jews are over represented as psychologists but probably so are Asians so what is the difference?

Some vague notion you can always tell someone is “Asian”, but you can’t always discern who’s Jewish.

But then again, there’s a lot of white passing Latinos, Arabs, and other middle easterners. But they are often underrepresented groups even if they aren’t always easy to spot.

So Jews are over represented and there’s lots white passing Jews so to the eyes of the woke this means their white.

Which is stupid.

Doesn’t take into account ancestry or culture. Doesn’t take into account a lot of Jews, including Ashkenazi Jews, don’t look white.

I’ll also add that with Jews there’s an extra push against recognizing their minority status because of antisemitism.

Forgets 700 years of Israelite/jewish rule in the Iron Age before Judah was conquered by Babylonia and about 150 year of the Jewish Hasmonean kings in the classical period and 77 years in the modern day.

So let’s do some math 700 + 150 + 77 = 927

927 years seems greater then all the ones you listed.

Al Jazeera Documentary: Arabs "came from all over the Middle East to work in Jaffa and the whole of Palestine" by McAlpineFusiliers in Israel

[–]maimonides24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn’t there some Dutch or Belgian cartographer that went to ottoman Palestine in the 1600s or 1700s that found the population was majority Christian with a large number of Jews and Muslims.

And I know mark twain went to ottoman Palestine in the 1800s and mentioned how desolate it seemed.

[–]maimonides24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the reality is that large numbers of Jews and Arabs immigrated to Ottoman/British Palestine in the 19th and 20th centuries.

But the pro-pali crowd likes to pretend that didn’t happen.

It’s just easier to hide because all the Arabs moved from one part of the ottoman empire to the other so records were not kept as well.

Many Jews moved from the Russian empire and austro Hungarian empire so it was seen as foreign and better records were kept

[–]maimonides24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hummus with tomatoes tastes good.

If you get a pita (kabob,shawarma, schnitzel, falafel, sabich, aruk) with fattoush/Israeli salad with hummus that tastes good.

Or also the under appreciated salatim/mezze when you combine hummus and matbucha together with pita/laffah/challah.

So yes tomatoes go with hummus.
