Firstly, Kurds are Indo-Iranians. Which means that their high frequencies of R1a-Z93 are perfectly comprehensible and expectable. Secondly, Sephardic Jews (whom are considered Western Jews) have negligible frequencies of R1a-Z93. Which led some experts to think that they actually got R1a-Z93 from Ashkenazi merchants during the Middle Ages. Thirdly, regarding J2 among "Mino-Myceneans" and J1 among "Canaanites" (are you referring to the Sidonian study here?), haven't you ever thought that maybe the two aforementioned ancient populations got J from Jews rather than the other way around? I mean, aren't the Danites said to be connected to the Greco-Mycenean Danoi? Didn't the Asherites occupy Tyre and Sidon for centuries? Last but not least, your stats are either BS or affected by sampling bias. As I've never come across any other peer-reviewed studies which said that any Jewish community (regardless of geographical origin) possesses such high frequencies of R1.
