To see diagram progressions like this is really sad. like a beautiful rainforest gradually being chipped away into nothing. same perps too considering the vast majority of Israelis are European
What percentage are European? I didn't know that.
Look up DNA testing in Israel, their govt doesn't want people testing and finding out their genetic history seems to include an awful lot of eastern Europe and not anything from the Middle East.
Even Ashkenazi Jews are from Turkey, not historic Palestine.
Purdy much, most Palestinians are actually the native Jewish population who converted to Christianity and then Islam. That's why the Israeli government doesn't want DNA testing.
Any ideas why they converted? I wasn’t aware of this, and I don’t see that it matters…I’m just curious.
A lot of it was forced conversion. There's a long history of religious and cultural oppression of various peoples in the region. You could probably find some online documentaries about it, though more than a few likely view the events through a pro-Zionist lens.
Christian crusades followed by Islam doing what Islam is designed to do.
Mass conversion of populations are not common. It's either conquest, oppression or rebellion.
well if you look at their leaders it's close to 100 if not that
The official Israeli CBS cites 50% of Israeli Jews having their ancestry in Europe, primarily Ashkenazi and post-Soviet groups.... but of course, with DNA test ban in Israel is hard to know for sure... Being 75% of the Israeli population Jewish, that places it as 2/3 of Jews in Israel are from European origin... and that is their own stats. I would even say more are.
