Interesting! The elite is described as being predominantly Mongoloid in the study. In other words (actually my own) they were basically high IQ Asian supremacists, haha

That is not what I said, what I said was that it was odd that Israel had such a high mutation rate sticking out like a sore thumb compared to neighbouring countries and unless vikings were doing aliyah at that time there had to be another explanation.

There is a history of judaism in China, those ladies aren't recent converts. You just don't want to accept them because it doesn't fit your bill.

Ashkenazim don't plot in Isreal, that's all I need to know.

It's just a religion, get over it

Those groups are still fairly marginal, some are basically irrelevant. As a whole the Jews are still an ethno-religious group, not merely a religion open for everyone to join. Whether they are predominantly Semitic and identical to the Biblical Hebrews or not is another question which I won't go into because I don't want to be attacked for something someone else wouldn't like to hear. Banning and censorship rarely convince people to change their minds, often quite the opposite. This thread is not about the Jews or Israel anyway.

Jews have no homeland.

Jews have no homeland.

Well, their homeland is in the Levant region where their Y-DNA is very similar to the genetic isolated groups of the Levant like the Christians and the Druze. Of course, western Jews aren't fully Levantine nor Europeans - they're somewhere in between.

Found autosomals in supplementary materials



By the looks of it, extremely heterogeneous elite. The way they describe it, mongoloid elite in the process of assimilation. Two of them are almost fully mongoloid.

My kin......

Well, they were Turkic afterall, though they're weren't Oghuz Turkic peoples like today's Turks, Azeris, Gagauz and Turkmen.

Well basically western Jews are as indigenous to Israel as Barack Obama is to Northwest Europe.

Unfortunately nothing about Hungary or Hungarians is mentioned either. Too bad.

Yes very sad, looks like the sole purpose of the paper was to disprove a genetic link between Ashekenazim and Khazars. Not to actually learn more about them.

In a way it is about the Jews, but I am going to stop posting now because I don't want my views to be mistaken for attacking Jews or israel. In fact I have great respect for them especially in the scientific and military field.

I will leave one last comment though, it is true that Judaism is exclusive now, but that wasn't always the case in history. Even the rule that you can only be a Jew if your mom is one is fairly recent.
