What do Palestinian Christians receiving on their DNA results?

[happycow]

The funny thing is that it's not Levantines themselves here who are claiming that they're Whites either. It's foreigners here who do which is making us look bad honestly.

I blame Sikeliot. His ghost continues to haunt this forum.

That's pretty much a prove that the vast majority of Palestinian Muslims are not indigenous to the Levant, I've seen some Muslims who took DNA test and they got only aabout 30%-45% Levanite with large amounts of Arabian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian admixture. Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews have usually more Levanite ancestry, what makes them more indigenous to Israel.

Care to show me some proof? All of the G25 results of Palestinian Muslims have over 50% Levantine, not under it. Our mixed Arabian and Egyptian admixture together accounts for 37% of our genepool. The rest is Levantine.

No. Christians weren't the only ones who called themselves as Syrians since the Muslims and the Druze also called themselves as such, and it has nothing to do with the Syriac ethnic identity either. Arabs had existed long before Islam, and there are plenty of Christians in the Levant who identify themselves as Arabs. You Maronites really have such an identity problem that it's baffling to say the least. In fact, it was the Arabs who invented the term "bilad al-sham" or Syria in today's context which even us Palestinians used to identify as Syrians before we started calling ourselves as Palestinians during the height of Arab nationalism and beyond. The Druze for example are just as genetically pure as their Christian counterparts, and yet, their religion used to be a sect of Islam before evolving into an independent religion.

I'm not Maronite. You think I'm Maronite simply because I'm using a Saint Charbel icon as my avatar? 💀 You clearly don't know anything about Middle Eastern Christians. Saint Charbel is beloved by all Middle Eastern Christians and we all pray for His intercession. It's amazing how culturally far removed Muslims are from Christians, 'Charbel' is one of the most popular names among Palestinians Christians, most of of whom are Greek Orthodox and Melkite Catholics, and you didn't even know that since you obviously have zero interaction with Palestinian Christians yet claims to be the same as them.💀

Syriac is actually just a derivation of Syrian, both mean the same thing - Christian. All the liturgically Syriac Churches used to until very recently be called Syrian Churches, until they officially changed their names since 'Syrian' now has more of an Arab Muslim connotation since they hijacked our identity. Yes, all Christians identified as Syrians and all Muslims as Arabs.

And I'm not surprised about the Druze, since their religion is actually way closer to Christianity than to Islam. The only aspect they retain from Islam is the Taqiyya. They reject the pedophile terrorist Mohammed and accept Jesus. Many of them actually hang a Cross necklace or the Rosary over the rear view mirror in their cars.

I'm an agnostic, so I don't give much crap about your beliefs and others. No, the word, Syrian, comes from the word Assyrian which became corrupted by the Greeks and Romans to refer to the region that is now Syria and Lebanon back then even though it wasn't inhabited by Assyrians. I have interacted with many of them, both in real life and on the internet. Can you back it up with proof? Syria - like Lebanon and other Levantine nations - was constructed by the Arab nationalists, which of whom were many Christians at that time, so it's not the same meaning as the Syriac or Assyrian peoples of Mesopotamia who are ethnically and genetically different from you guys despite that say the Maronites pray in the Syriac language and all. In other words, Syria was simply a regional name, not referring to an ethnicity or whatever. The Syriac churches for example are different from other Christian churches of the middle east, so you can't say that Copts have anything to do with your kind since they're genetically far more closer to us Palestinian Muslims than say to the Lebanese. Arab =/= Islam, but then again, Lebanon is heavily sectarian to the core, so it's not like it matters much to me or anything. Here's a thread about the history of the Arabs:

Some levantines can pass in South Europe sure. But come on. Most cannot.

Can the Apulian Graziano Pellè pass in the Levant?

I think there are a lot more Southern Euros that can pass in the Levant than vice versa. We are a relatively homogeneous group, afterall.
