The point is that he forgot what he was looking at. In this model, Ashkenazi_Russia scored 48% ancient Levant, while Palestinians scored 58% ancient Levant. That is not 48% of shared ancestry between Ashkenazi_Russia and Palestinians.

Pretty much, yeah. I mean, it meant to show the ancient Canaanite ancestry from the Bronze age period in both Ashkenazi Jews from Russia and the Palestinian Muslim averages and so on. The differences is small in their percentages really since Russian Jews have some Balto-Slavic ancestry in them in contrast to say the Sephardic Jews.
The same way that Ashkenazi Jews derive half of their ancestry from the local Southern European women. Netanyahu claimed that Palestinians are fully Arabians from the Arabian peninsula despite that's a complete horseshit. He never acknowledged that we're simply partially Arabian admixed. Both Jews and Arabs have over 50% Canaanite ancestry in general, bruh.
