J2 seems to be associated with Persians and it's not Semitic probably it originated in the Mesopotamia and spread into Iran especially Western Iran where it is the dominant lineage. Neolithic, Arab conquest, and Jewish migration might have played a role in bringing this lineage to Europe. Most likely it's the Neolithic and possibly Jewish migration.

Here is an interesting article

I'm from Gargano and i have this haplogroup, I have 0% Red Sea, the genetic it's really strange, How is it possible that in 750 years more or less the main component disappears but the haplogroup remains? ahah

I don't know why the previous Assyrian user Transhumanist claimed that Assyrians have a high percentage of J1 haplogroup.
The fact from a study conducted in 2017 on all ethnic groups of Mesopotamia by :

" Department of Genetics and Bioengineering, International Burch University, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2 Turkish Cypriot DNA Laboratory, Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus Turkish Cypriot Member Office, Nicosia (North Cyprus), Turkey, 3 Dr. Fazõl KuÈcËuÈk Faculty of Medicine, Eastern Mediterranean University, Famagusta (North Cyprus), Turkey, 4 Department of Biology, College of Education, University of Salahaddin, Erbil, Iraq, 5 Institute for Anthropological Research, Zagreb, Croatia"

show that Assyrians have 11.7% J1 haplogroup while Northern Iraqi Arabs have 36.61% followed by Kurds at 17.17%, Turkman at 12.37% and Yazidis have the lowest at 8.91%.

I am sure Central & Southern Iraqi Arabs have much higher percentage of J1 haplogroup than Northern Iraqi Arabs,
