It's not racial. Never was. The Khazars,for example were Jewish, but weren't even Semites. But here's what really derails your claims...Now, as I asked you before, please explain how almost two thousand years of Roman and European enslavement, dispossession, banishment, of Jews - which included Jewish women forced into sex slavery, forced marriage, forced impregnation for infant sacrifice, castrated Jewish men sent as chained prisoners on Roman ships, fields, mines, etc. - resulted not only in their miraculous preservation as a people, but a miraculously preserved pure DNA bloodline "proved" to be traceable all the way back to the 1st century
The finding of a common set of genetic markers in both Ashkenazi and Sephardi Cohanim worldwide clearly indicates an origin pre-dating the separate development of the two communities around 1000 CE. Date calculation based on the variation of the mutations among Cohanim today yields a time frame of 106 generations from the ancestral founder of the line, some 3,300 years—the approximate time of the Exodus from Egypt, the lifetime of Aaron HaCohen.
Professor Hammer was recently in Israel for the Jewish Genome Conference. He confirmed that his findings are consistent—over 80 percent of self-identified Cohanim have a common set of markers.
The finding that less than one-third of the non-Cohen Jews who were tested possess these markers is not surprising to the geneticists. Jewishness is not defined genetically. Other Y-chromosomes can enter the Jewish gene pool through conversion or through a non-Jewish father. Jewish status is determined by the mother. Tribe membership follows the father’s line.
AMAZING STATISTICS
Calculations based on the high rate of genetic similarity of today’s Cohanim resulted in the highest “paternity-certainty” rate ever recorded in population genetics studies—a scientific testimony to family faithfulness.Stated Dr. David Goldstein of Oxford University:
“For more than 90 percent of the Cohens to share the same genetic markers after such a period of time is a testament to the devotion of the wives of the Cohens over the years. Even a low rate of infidelity would have dramatically lowered the percentage.”
Try to find a way to live with the reality. BTW, "anti" means "opposed to."
