Yeah, but half of Jewry's genes are from the ancient Canaanites and so on which is true for Palestinians as well. It's just a matter of foreign admixtures, that's all. Like, we're mixed with Arabians and Egyptians while they mixed with the local Southern Europeans.

If those samples are still so close to modern levantines it means your arab or egyptian admixture was already there back then while this european admixture wasn't there and will come way later. I never denied that they still have a levantine component but saying that they should be viewed as indigenous as palestinians/lebaneses is wrong and they are certainly not representative of ancient hebrews. Ashkenazim plot close to modern south-east europeans not levantines that means a lot imo

And again no y dna E-V13 present or any that is ancestral to E-V13 in the Near East.

Hmm, not really, but alright.

Do we have their Ydna/mtdna haplogroups?

Nope not in the Levant samples. But I’m assuming that there will be R1a in the other paper, but you have to pay to get full access to see it.
