Are European Jews just converted Romans?

[Haider]

So now that we know Imperial Romans plotted with modern South Italians and by default modern European Jews, I think it's safe to assume the obvious: Euro Jews are converted Romans. The difference in haplogroup distribution could easily be explained due to all the bottlenecks Jews undergone. Imo this makes much more sense than coming up with several theories that European Jews are a mixture of this and that, that coincidentally enough made them plot with ancient Rome.

I wouldn't say so, mate.

[Haider]

I wouldn't say so, mate.

The facts are:

1. Modern Jews plot with ancient Romans
2. Ancient Jews migrated from Rome to other parts of Europe after the fall of Rome

Why come up with mind-blowing theories that modern Jews are 30% this, 20% that, 40% x, 10% y, when the obvious makes perfect sense?

[Smeagol]

Maybe not entirely but the Roman DNA results make it likely that European Jews are more Roman than we thought.

Would you say more Romans became Christians or Jews?

Sorry, I'll rephrase: How would you compare Romans' adoption of Judaism with Romans' adoption of Christianity?

I don't see how this is relevant to his question. Everyone knows the Romans mass converted to Christianity, but in the centuries prior to that Judaism was a proselytizing religion and around 10% of the Empire was Jewish at it's height.

It's nothing sinister.. I'm just after insight into his mode of thinking..

Wasn't saying it was, just trying to see what your point was.
