Palestinians and Samaritans are genetic brothers

[StonyArabia]

It's well known that many Palestinians are descendants of of Samaritans who converted to Islam and took on Arabic language and Islam but kept their native culture and tradition intact with little Arabian influence, this is in particular true of the area of Nabalus. The genetic structure of the Palestinians also resembles that of the Samaritans with virtually only negligible differences. Most of the Palestinian samples here are Muslims. Thus this shows us religions and language change to an extent do, but not the people as a whole. This also explains why the Samaritans have become a very small minority today. This also means ultimately the Palestinians are native to the land of their ancestors who have lived there since ancient times. With universal religions like Christianity and Islam, they can not be divided or made it into some imaginary ethno-religious grouping when it never existed. The factual and rather not agenda biased studies shows that the Palestinian Muslims are also indigenous to the region.

Here is the chart:

Just look where the Palestinians and Samaritans are branching off, from the same lineage.

Yes but it also means Palestinians are Israelites and not Arabs.

Time Palestinians embrace Zionism and Zionism embraces Palestinians.

Cypriots have some Phoenician ancestry and the Lebanese some Greek ancestry, hence they are close

From wiki:
In ancient times Lebanon was the site of several Greek colonies. Following Christianization Greek culture remained a strong influence, waning as the centuries passed, though not disappearing. The city of Amioun (possibly from the Semitic word for Greeks, Yunan), capital of the Koura District (in turn from the Greek χωριά, "villages") in the north of the country is a living testament of that.

There's not much admixture on the Lebanese(or in any levantines for that matter). Cypriots are mostly of Hellenized natives with minor Greek admixture, which is why the Cypriots plot with the Lebanese and the Druze a lot than either of them are to the mainland Greeks.

True Cypriots are just hellenized levantines, they don't have much mainland Greek ancestry. If they did they would have plotted much north of Lebanon probably with Sicilians and South Italians.

All of them are different types of Arabs to me. "Al-Shami" is their original name.

Could you elaborate?

What do you mean? Genetically the Palestinians are not that different from the Samaritians. The world Al-Shami means Levantine btw.

I think he's implying that Palis and Samaratins are not indigenous.

[StonyArabia]

That does not seem true genetically speaking, as both seem native to their region. Samaritians are basically Israelites who never left the place they practice a unique form of Judaism. Also Palestinian Muslims are their primary descendants, as shown by genetics with little differences. This would explain why the Samaritians numbers dwindled to a minority today due to conversions mostly to Islam and at times to Christianity or even to mainstream Judaism.

I'm glad Zionism restored an indigenous levantine language to Palestine. Time for the Palestinians to discard the cloak of Arabian imperialism and embrace indigenous levantine religion (Judaism).

Lebanese don't have Greek mixture, or anything European. Cypriots plot with Lebanese because they are Hellenized Levantines.

Cypriots don't plot exactly as the lebanese and they do have significant Greek admixture. Here are the results of a lebanese guy that some of you guessed as Spanish. He plots with Palestinians rather than with Cypriots

They dont, and the cypriot are genetically more closely related the sephardic and the druze than to the mainland Greeks.

Oh, and here's another PCA plot to show you how close the cypriots are to the sephardic and the druze:

They dont plot anywhere near the European cluster but instead they plot within the west Asian cluster(towards the levant region).

Your welcome so anyone saying otherwise clearly does not know genetics. To the contrary claims of the Palestinians being non-native to the region seems to fall short flat truth be told. As Palestinians seemingly to be very native and one can even conclude the genetic core of their region. So them clustering with the Samaritans was to be expected. Of course minorities within Palestine/Israel like the Negevites and Gazans will show different genetics based on ethnic/cultural and as well geographic position, but the majority of the ethnic Palestinians seem to be not that much different from their genetic brothers and ancestors.

My dad clusters in between Druze/Cypriot on McDonald.
