It's weird because I noticed that a lot of Ashkenazim irl believe that they're from Avraham Avinu and yet simultaneously believe that they come from Slavic tribes. It's weird, especially considering...

Yes this is what I try telling people who say that Ashkenazim don't have a genotype that matches their phenotype. The European half of Ashkenazim actually clusters with North Italians, and these are...

But going based on where people plot on an autosomal level and phenotypes is less meaningful, for all peoples are socially constructed. Ashkenazi Jews can actually trace their LINEAGE back to Ancient...

She doesn't look common for an Ashkenazi or a Moroccan Sephardi. At all.

Ethiopian Jews and Indian Jews aren't genetically related to other Jews, but a lot of Ethiopian Jews have culturally assimilated into the Israeli culture and are therefore Middle Eastern. Indian Jews...

Yeah she doesn't look typical of any Jewish group to me tbh. She doesn't look super out of the ordinary for an Ashkenazi but she's still not common looking for us.

African Americans have developed their own culture and have their own unique history that is distinct from that of white Americans. You say they dress like white Americans, but so do most native...

I heard that it's very difficult to convert to Judaism in Israel altogether. They recommend that people who want to convert to Judaism do so in the diaspora and then move/return to Israel.

A lot of Philistines assimilated into the Ancient Israelite culture overtime and so I'm sure that many of the Ancient Israelites looked just like Philistines. Whether or not Palestinians "look like...

African Americans weren't assimilated. They're still African Americans. They do have the right to claim their West African ancestry, but that doesn't mean that they're West Africans the same way West...

King David himself was a redhead and a lot of Ashkenazim probably look more West Asian than King David himself did. He would also be confused as to what Islam is so it doesn't matter. He didn't know...

He was the king of Israel, and so I'm sure he'd wonder why there are people in the region calling themselves Palestinians and speaking Arabic. He also wouldn't know what Islam is. I do think that...

But African Americans are called AFRICAN AMERICANS and not West Africans for a reason. Of course they are genetically African (for the most part), but we don't call them West Africans because their...

But many Ashkenazim could actually trace their LINEAGE back to King David. It doesn't matter which population is genetically closest to King David, but which population actually has a line of...

Ever heard of this? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Israel_(united_monarchy)

Modern Hebrew is different but it still comes from Ancient Hebrew. It's still more similar to Ancient Hebrew...

It's not a very good quality photo and last time I checked, there are Arabs who dress like that too.

But we are genetically 45-65% West Asian and when foreigners are absorbed into the tribe,...

I know that the main European component in Ashkenazim is Southern European, but someone who is 3/4 Iranian and 1/4 Northern European will cluster with someone who is 1/2 North Italian and 1/2...

Lmao. Northern Italians are closer to Dutch people than they are to Middle Easterners.

No it's not. Many Jews in Poland didn't even speak Polish. We made up a language called Yiddish which comes from both German and Hebrew--which is a Canaanite language. And I don't think that...

Thank you.

SOME amount of East European ancestry, but not a lot. Jews from Germany usually have very little East European ancestry, and the Jews from Eastern Europe usually have around 10-15%.

Yes Jews were...

Yes but we have a LINE OF TRADITION going back to Mt. Sinai whether or not the details of our "cultures" are the same. You'd be surprised at how similar our cultures are despite some od us being...
