I suppose to Israel, it's simply a matter of who's the strongest who is able to claim the land.

It's literally that to everyone all the time.

Let's consider a couple of questions....

1. Who currently occupies the land, or any land?

2. Is anyone capable of removing these people also possessing the will to do so?

If you can answer #1 and the answer to #2 is "no"....then we know whose land it is. It doesn't really matter how anyone feels about it unless they intend to leave.

Unless there's been some big advances in DNA I haven't heard about....no....it doesn't say anything about race or ethnicity. The DNA of a Palestinian and Jew would be around 99.9% the same....and if you want to claim that the 0.1% makes some big difference...science disagrees.

And regardless, I can't imagine what it would possibly mean in any way to the current Gaza conflict. Nobody cares what your DNA is when the question of "who's land is this" comes up. That's obvious.
It comes up as a self justification based on a legendary right of inheritance.

Many Christians blindly support "Israel" for the same reasons.

It's nothing but baseless superstition to get blessed and not cursed or to feed their ego, thinking they're one with the chosen people of God. Nothing would please them more than to find they have Jewish ancestry if that were the case. Might as well convert to Judaism and become a Jew officially! But ironically, they don't want to lose their "salvation". Ain't that the truth, or not.

Well, it's a win all around. The Western powers got a western-aligned client state in the Modde East, they got rid of most of the European Jews that were left over from the Holecaust and they can sustain the hope that theTemple will be rebuilt so Jesus can come back,

Originally the people from the land of the levant were known as Canaanites who were nomad hunter and gatherers. But this is like other parts of the world that were yet formed into nations like Phonesia and and the land of Europe before cultures and cities became nations.

A strange one they discovered was that South Americans had Australian Aboriginal DNA which is weird as its virtually around the other side of the world if your going via the land bridges into Asia and into North American and then down.

So most lands have a mix of people but it wasn't until people formed a culture and then cities and eventually a nation. THis was how the Isrealites formed their nation. No other people in that area were developing as a nation.

It was just like the Phonesians became Lebanon or the tribes of Europe developed into cities and then individual nations. But all having surrounding ethnics in the mix until they branched off to become nations with their own culture, tradition, and especially a religion to identify them as different to other cultures around them.

Why do you keep posting outdated and false information (that article is from 2012)? The Khazarian hypothesis has already been proven false in relation to Ashkenazi origins. "Modern Jew" DNA is also Sephardic and Mizrahi. Regarding DNA, well yeah Jews and Arabs are both related from Abraham. What is your agenda here?
Even more interesting than the stuff TIMEWERX just laid out. Thank you for straightening things out here :oldthumbsup:.
