As a geneticist, this was actually really well done. You employed the right models (your interpretation of principal component analysis was on point), and you connected it with history at a high level. Fascinating stuff and good use of the research.
His video was a bit sloppy imo. Too much history, too little about genetics. Also, the pictures he used don't seem accurate at all. The Natufians certainly weren't that dark skinned. Many Levantine people are white skinned. This isn't because of Europe. Europeans get much of their genes from the Middle East, in fact. So there must have been light skinned people in the Levant in the Bronze age, and many would have had colored eyes, like their descendants.
I think in life sometimes when your ideology doesn’t match with the fact, maybe it’s better to change the ideology and not the facts. 😂 I don’t think you watched the whole video because the majority of it is comparing genetic samples of modern people in the region with ancient samples of Israelites and the modern Samaritan populations. Videos is solid!
@@jawadmaniaci91 Are you replying to my comment? You probably didn't understand what I said. I said that the pictures aren't accurate. They're probably generated by AI. And that inaccuracy is irresponsible. There is no way that everybody was dark like that. There are Samaritans and other Levantines now with light features. So why is he choosing only dark skinned pictures? There's an inherent bias there. An assumption that middle easterners are dark. When the majority of Levantines have light features.
@@aag3752images created with artificial intelligence, I don't know how precise they are but it doesn't matter, they absolutely have no influence on the quality and accuracy of the topic, excellently addressed and exposed in the video which does not deal with the appearance of ancestral and ancient populations but with their proximity genetics to modern peoples
There is evidence that many Palestinians had ancestors who were once Jews. Israeli researcher Tsvi Misinai conducted anthropological research throughout several Palestinian villages. According to his findings, there are certain customs and traditions among the Palestinians that are of Judaic origins.
It’s obvious because arabisation and islamisation of Palestinians doesn’t make them any less Israelite. They’re farmers, tied to the land for millennia, they never left like merchants and pastoralists would.
No the have no Jews ancestors although they have Isralites ancetors. Not all Jews are Israelite and not all Israelite are jews. Few israelites are muslims
09:00 I am a Palestinain from Jennin, I am not surprised to see that we share 77% of our DNA with Samaritans, as we do look alike and we share some of the traditions, and I think that we all need to stop Zionism and live with the Israelies in a united nation after we stop this genocide
The Palestinian Arab population has increased by over 500% since Israel was reestablished in 1948, in a war the Arabs started and lost. Many Arabs who call themselves Palestinians are descended from Arabs who migrated to the area AFTER Jewish settlers began to improve the land, drained the malaria swamps, and developed productive farms in areas that were basically empty wasteland. Don't believe me. Read "Innocents Abroad" by Mark Twain, written in 1869 describing what "Palestine" was really like. Hint: forget about some mythical golden age that Zionism destroyed. He described Palestine as mostly empty, and depressing. In fact, if Israel had lost the war in 1948 or the Jews had never returned to the Land of Israel from where they were expelled by the Romans, there'd have been NO so-called Nation of Palestine. The area would have been divided up among Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, and that would have been the end of it (not counting the tens of thousands of Jews who would have been massacred and expelled had Israel lost. Oct 7 gives a good example of that.). Jordan ruled the West Bank and East Jerusalem from 1948 until 1967, until captured by Israel in the Six-Day War -- yet another war the Arabs started. If there was such a nation of Palestine, why weren't you demanding an end to that occupation of what you claim are such sacred Palestinian lands that you must have for your state? Never mind that the Arabs and the Palestinian leadership have rejected each and every peace proposal offered to them for an independent state since 1937. In WWII, over 500,000 German civilians were killed. Were the Allies at war with Nazi Germany to exterminate German civilians or because they had to do what it took to defeat Nazi Germany? And unlike Hamas psychopaths, the Nazis didn't use civilians as human shields and stick all their military assets in civilian areas. Genocide is supposed to reduce populations. Not increase them by 500%. Genocide is the intention of wiping out an entire people. Not civilians caught in the crossfire because Hamas deliberately places their combat assets in civilian homes, schools, and hospitals, leaving Israel no choice but to do what it has to to defeat Hamas, just as the Allies did what they had to do to destroy the Nazi regime. The same with Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad. Don't want killing? Tell Hamas to surrender. To date, they've rejected 17! proposals to stop the fighting. Stop crying in your beer and move on. You don't want killing? Don't start wars. And certainly don't support psychopathic killers like Hamas who behead babies, rape and mutilate teenagers, butcher senior citizens, then videotape and celebrate over it all, and kidnap innocent people as hostages. And then dance in the street and pass around candy in the streets of Gaza, along with thousands of other "innocent" civilians celebrating their bloody barbarity. If you're so concerned about genocide, where were you when Bashir al-Assad murdered 400,000 Syrians including dropping chemical bombs on them banned by international law. Where were you then? As far as Palestinian Arab ties to the Jews, well obviously you're descended from Jews who decided to convert to Islam centuries ago, mostly likely because they didn't want to be treated as second-class citizens anymore and forced to pay the jizya tax all non-Muslims were forced to pay their Muslim overlords under Sharia Law. Finally, a second genetic study should be done of Palestinian Arabs to see what percentage are actually descended from those migrants from Arabia which is where the Muslim armies came that conquered and converted much of these lands to Islam in the first place. By the sword. There was no democratic vote on the matter. If you look on RUclips, you can even find a clip of a top Hamas official ten years ago on Egyptian TV stating that most Palestinians are Egyptians and Saudis. Which is why he was complaining about the Egyptian government helping Israel blockade Gaza to prevent Iranian weapons from flooding in.
As a fellow Mountain Jew, my community’s endangered language was always very Semitic and had modern Arabic’s sounds and elements. We always looked much more like other Jewish communities from Syria and Iraq and even middle eastern Arabs than the people from Azerbaijan (the place we resided for 1,000+ years). Nonetheless, I’ve always wondered if my family’s history was, in fact, true, especially after seeing the entire world suddenly question my identity. I’m very grateful for your video and now feel more proud of who I am. I hope we can all watch this and ultimately become better people as a result. Thank you, sir
I remember that a Sephardic Rabbi once tried to reach at you but you were so isolated he got lost and ended in Russia, Persia and Georgia trying to find you but even Caucasian Jews in Tblisi didn't knew how to find you and said "Ask The Qoba Jews! They may know." But Israelisi Jews in Qoba didn't knew quite well either and he ended up in Bukhara teaching Jews about Maimonides there instead.
We have three syrian jews who are long time friends of my family. Im a muslim syrian although i dont particularly identify with religion. Those syrian jews we know are not at all different from us in how they look. They don't look distinguishable unless they open their mouth to say they are jews. Your identitt is not in your religion not even in your race. But dont confuse religion with race. Sure a certain religious group has its own distinctions because they mostly refused to marry someone coming from another lamd with a different belief . But ppl also converted to different religions. An ideology is one thing and a race is another. We all are the result of the mixture of different races more or less.. Thats what constitute our dna. Not our ideology. Jews in syria had a syrian passport like me and were never looked at as different. At least not in damascus where my parents have lived for generations
@@KenanKlnc-qb3qf Absolutely. My parents and grandparents and speak fluent Azeri, but, by blood, we’re not Turks at all. Best case, brother, maybe a small percentage. My DNA tests results contained 96% Middle Eastern/Iranian DNA.
Hi, I’m one of the Samaritans actually, really great video, I’m from the Cohen family as well , after doing the DNA test from 23andMe it turned out the same as you mentioned , thank you for pointing this out!😊
Can I ask a religious Question? Samaritans only use the Torah but not the rest of the Tanakh. But what do Samaritans think of the apocrypha (example Book of Enoch, Jubilees, Tobit, etc)
Sure ,In the community we believe only the first five Books of Moses (Torah) was given on Mount Sinai, and it was divine, however, we also have our own version of Joshua, and other books we inherited, in terms of Enoch. There are beliefs that are not written in the Torah about him. These are they also from the same book you’re talking about. But today we do not read them as much. Meaning we do not ignore what’s in them, but we mostly focus on Torah.
@@AboodCohen is there a taboo on these apocrypha texts (tobit, midrash, jubilees and whatever else is an example) or can a Samaritan read it without stigma?
@@AboodCohen I'm personally a Enochite religion. Meaning I revere enoch as the most important prophet. I do *not* worship him. I worship the Adonai Elohai. But from Jubilees, Book of Enoch and Jasher, I consider Enoch as the most important prophet.
I am speechless as usual! Your work enlightens us with what cutting edge technology has to offer, all wrapped up in an easy to follow commentary.. brilliant!!
He's not informed at all. Well this is all wrong for several reasons entirely... The Bible does not really make any reference to the ancient Israelites appearance, but there are clues in the Bible that they did not look like the present-day demographic in the region, and you have to remember that Israel was divided into two kingdoms, the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah. Secondly, the Jews present in Israel today have a very miniscule amount of true Israelite ancestry any way, and they could not possibly genetically account for the ancestry of all the other tribes, being that they are only descended from one. There were thirteen tribes in ancient Israel. Dan Judah Levi Simeon Issachar Naphtali Asher Gad Reuben Zebulun Joseph Ephraim Manasseh Those tribes disappeared millennia ago, so claiming to have an accurate understanding of ancient Israel's genetic origins is impossible... I'll give you one clue... After the sacking of Israel during the reign of Ashurbanipal 721 B.C. and Nebuchadnezzar 651 B.C., so roughly between the 7th-8th centuries, while those tribes went into captivity and disappeared a suddenly new people never before mentioned in recorded history appear in the historical record, specifically in the work of Herodotus, when we the reader learn for the first time of these new people, a nomadic warrior nation known as Scythia suddenly burst on the scene, is it coincidence then that just around the time the northern kingdom of Israel disppears into obsecurity, the Scythians suddenly emerge out of it?!
@@Ariapeithes_ Looks like it's you who is not well informed and attentive. Cause the video clearly covered what you said in the first paragraph. The analysis covered both bronze as well as iron Age periods. Most importantly,it respectfully acknowledged the different narratives regarding identity issues besides mere DNA analysis.
@@Ariapeithes_ Yeah probably the lost tribes of Israel after were exiled by the Assyrians mixed with the Scythians germanic people in the Caucasus, for generations, and migrated to central Asia, and from there to West Europe, and their upper mesopotamic related Anatolian DNA mixed with Canaanites got reduced, and these bones of ancient Israelites who had already mixed with ancient Canaanites belong to the period before the Assyrian exile and their DNA remained intact, but since the tribe of Judah from which the Jews come had not been exiled by the Assyrians, they still preserve a DNA related to the ancient canaanites as result of admixture.
I did FamilyTree DNA & Ancestry DNA, am 13% mizrahi jewish, 81% southern Levantine Canaanite, 2% Yemenite Jewish 3% Sephardic Jewish,1% Caucasus/Mesopotamian area. But am a Palestinian 😮
Why did they convert to Islam? Never mind. I'm not interested in arguing with you or anyone else. If you don't understand my point, move along.@mariabop
I am an Ashkenazi Jew who was born and grew up in Russia. However when I came to the USA many Arabs ( Mostly Lebanese and Syrians) think that I am an Arab and one even showed me a picture of his cousin who lives in Syria, who looks like my twin. My DNA showed 99.4% Ashkenzai Jew with an ancestry from Lavant, North Asia and Europe.
That’s means you are a convert Read gen 10:3 Your not Semitic but Japhet not from Canaan but From Creamea not from the Jordan but The Volga . Stop the lies Askenazi are the serpent people GOG and Magog the tribes that join the forces of Satan in the last battle.
American of Mexican descent here.. my dna shows I have levant dna from my father and I share dna with several Anatolian bodies they have found as well as one Natufian male body they have found. I am a converted Jew and I am often told by the Palestinian supporters that I am fake .. thanks for making a video proving I’m not crazy. Ps. I also have Philistine dna
So dont you have any percentage of Latine or Roman or Spanish or European DNA ? Are you a pure Jew as a direct decendant of Jacob ? You have a mixed DNA. Same as many Palestininans. But Palestininans born and live in Palestine not in Mexico , America or Russia or German . Palestine is their birth land. But your ancesters came from Mexico . So they are right. You cannot claim Israel as your country. Your country is America or Mexico. Most Jews always says Palestininans are Arabs from Makkah . That is also a big lie. Palestinans too have mixed Levent DNA and are born and live in Palestine . Palestinans have high percentage of Cananites DNA . Palestininans too have Jewish DNA.That is their land.. You cannot claim Israel is your promised land because you are a Jew, so as many European Jews. Then why do you live in America ? That was not your country . It belonged to native Americans .😅😂😂 . Most of Jews have mixed DNA . There are black Jews, white Jew, Yellow Jew, blond Jew, German Jew, Slavic Jew, Asian Jew, Indian Jew , Persian Jew , Arabic Jew, Russian Jew , Ethiopen Jew , Chinese Jew. Moroccan Jew , Spanish Jew, . Jews have different ethicities, different colour of skin and faces. If all Jews around the world claim their land is Israel/ Palestine , definitely Palestinian supporters will call that you are FAKE and they are 100 % right in their claim. First of all , you are not 100 % pure direct decentant of Jacob . Secondly , there were many tribes lived in current Israel in stone age , Iron age and copper age long before Jacob was born . They lived even before Abraham migrated to Canan. Occupying and Harassing native people live in Palestine by using a religious book is a basic human rights violation . It should not be happen in the world. Christians live all over World. Can all of them claim Italy or Vatican is their country ? Muslims live all over the world, can all of them claim Saudi is their country ? Your ancesters live 2000+ or 1000 + years in Europe and mingled and mixed with others . Then you have right to claim Palestinians' lands and houses are your lands ? Your Jewish people are not only fake but also thieves. Sorry .
Your DNA connection comes from Spain, many moors comes from the levent, that's why many latin south American have some Arab DNA due to the inquisition.
Im also Mexican, I tested Haplogroup G2a on my YDNA. Anatolians :) I tested out 5-7% North African Amazigh which I get from the Islamic period of Spain.
Of course, you have a link to Anatolia being Mexican. Your Spanish descent links you to that and hence is probably also the reason for the connection to the Levantine DNA.. All these videos and comments prove that we are ALL ONE HUMAN RACE and its beautiful.
As a LEBANESE person, I want to say 3 things. 1. We "Middle Easterners" are very diverse, genetically. The Levantine countries are more similar to each other, but still different. Lebanon generally has the whitest people in the region, our dna deriving primarily from the Levant and Caucuses, and secondarily from Europe. Our DNA is similar to the northern Palestinians he's talking about, who also have light features. And to Syrians who border us also. We do not look like Mizrahi Jews. So the point is, there are different ancestries, and many of us have Caucasian features (particularly in Lebanon). 2. The Palestinians are more native than modern day Jews that migrated there. In contrast, many Jews came from the outside in recent times. Except for Mizrahis. 3. To be transparent, I'm no supporter of political Zionism. But I have to agree with AncestralBrew, genes aren't everything. I personally don't think the Israel-Palestine conflict should be decided by genes at all. While we should acknowledge the fact that Palestinians are definitely native to the land, this does not mean that the Jews who came from Europe don't belong there. You can't just claim land based on ancestry. I'm 100% Lebanese, with some of my dna going back to the Romans, the Levant, and the Caucuses. Does this give me a right to claim Italy, Israel, and Turkey now? To put it more emphatically, Lebanese have the most Canaanite DNA of anybody in the world, according to recent genetic studies. But if we go by that, then Lebanese have the greatest claim to the entire region. And the Jews and even Palestinians should pack up and leave. Obviously, that would be absurd. Instead of going by DNA, I think the so-called holy land should be split fairly between people who were born and raised there. Easier said than done, I get it. But that would be the model to go by, not genetics.
i'd like to add that ashkenazi jews also do trace 50% of their linigage to the levant. but i really agree. if we are gonna debate over genetics, that is a very slippery slope.
I believe that the existence of Israel is entirely unethical for these very reasons and much more. there should be a single democratic state based on equal HUMAN rights for all, economic ownership of society to the people, and the right of return to the displaced palestinian diaspora and it should be called Palestine. Yes it is easier said than done no doubt, but there will be no peace until the injustice of the zionist settler-colonial project is dismantled and a state forged on equality and rights for all is established.
@@sab5686 Most Ashkenazy Jews still look eastern Mediterranean to me. Some are pretty white, this is true. But there's still something Levantine about them, so I don't doubt what you're saying.
@@sab5686 I agree, i certainly don't base my arguments on what should happen primarily on genetics, though the fact is that Zionist ideology forces the issue on genetics by directly trying to erase the indigenous Palestinian population and identity from the land and replace it with a colonial ethno-state that wipes away the rich history and mixed cultural identity of the land from thousands of years of history. I ultimately believe in a single state based on equality for all.
Even without genetics, it was clear that the Samaritans and Palestinians were descendants of the ancient Israelites. The populations of the Levant, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Samaritans and Alawites, generally look like each other physically, with regional differences ( syrians of Aleppo are different from a Palestinian from the south of palestine. They share the same culture. Israelis, even Mizrahi, do not look like Palestinians except for the rare Levantines and Iraqi Jews (and then again) so not even talking about the Ashkenazim who are the majority of the Jewish people. On the other hand, I agree that genetics is not identity. The problem is not that AN extremely genetically diverse populations can see themselves as a single people with the same origin but that this assertion seeks to erase the indigenous people. Israelis do not accept the fact that it is a country born from colonization and then immigration. For this they are trying to deny the Palestinians a truth which says that they are indeed indigenous. The Palestinians on the other side are so steeped in Arab nationalism that they have never collectively sought to tell their real story and not the myth that would make them Arabs of Arabia. I am North African, I am Arab but I know that my ancestors 1400 years ago spoke Amazigh. I know that my Arabness is an identity and not a genetic one. Genetically I am a North African from the northeast of Algeria. But at the end of the day i hope that palestinians and israelis leave in peace !
The majority of Jews in Israel are not ashkenazi. Less than 1/3 are Ashkenaz. Palestinians are all from surrounding nations who colonized the area, with some exceptions obviously.
@@micahasher7600 Nah, genetics now prove much of the Palestinians are natives, but Arabized like the Samaritans were too but still kept their heritage. Genetics also show much of the zionist colonizers from europe are mixed with people from countries surrounding Palestine and in europe and in central Asia.
You're so misinformed it's tragic. Palestinians carry very little actual Arab DNA & are in fact closer to the Israelites than most Jews genetically, they are descendants of canaanites/israelites. Whilst the population of Israel is mostly non ashkenazi they were the founders of Zionism which turned Palestinians into refugees on their own land. The state of Israel was created and run by Ashkenazis before conglomerating Jews from around the world a lot of whom received racism from them when they arrived. The founders referred to it as a settler colonial state so you tell me.@@micahasher7600
@@micahasher7600 Most of jews IN THE WORLD are Ashkenazis. But even without that. The Jews of Yemen; from Ethiopia, North Africa, Iran from the caucasus are not Levantines neither genetically nor anything at all. Genetics today proves your claims to be false. Palestinians are related to ancient people from palestine not 90% of israelis. It doesn(t change anything because israelis exist today and palestinians and israelis have to find peace. Furthermore, people have to be damn stupid to believe that Palestine (haifa, nazareth, jerusalem, hebron, jenine, lod, gaza,) was uninhabited before the arrival of the first Zionist settlers. It's so ridiculous that it amazes me that Israelis can believe it.
@@gohanbernard I won't play this game, but I got a good hand of cards as a Palestinian Christian Aramaic speaker haha I just learned today the close affinity we have with Samaritans.
I'm both a biologist and a peace activist here in Israel-Palestine, I thought that this video was really well done and with a very positive message. I have a group of Israelis and Palestinians that are working together on a peace proposal. We have a section on Mutual Recognition of Historic Connection and I added a link to this video since I think that it really captures the message that we want to convey about using research on ancestry and history as a way to bring people together
It’s hard to bring people together when one side is a European Nazi cult that thinks they own the world and the land because of some fairy god they worship.
I can share a gift to you , wars are artificial Plo is a Masonic lodge , modern Israel is the Masonic lodge of bnei Britt , Muslims brotherhood is also a Masonic lodge . They control all sides of any conflict forcing people hate each other , they serve the ancients gods of the past , this pagan gods are the demons in the Bible . Hell is real , they need human conflict to have death , death is humans sacrifice to demons , is irrelevant soldiers have no idea their master are serving hell . When a person die , demons absorbe the pain of the victim , soldier who kill children also get their own soul condemn to hell . All wars are ilegal to The Creator, are human made , no one has the right to kill anyone . Hell control the priest class inside all religion s of the world , kabalah is not from The Creator but Babylon magic , to contact demons and trust me they are real . Demons hate Jesus because really is The Messiah .
So technically Palestinians are more Israeli than the "Israelis" occupying their homeland. You'd think the occupiers would see the Palestinians as the purest link to their ancestors and worship them.
well if the muslim palestinians didnt betray their ancestors then they would still be Jewish and would be living israel in peace. instead they are cowards.
@@Tobyyy24 It's a temporary situation. I'm sure you read about western colonialism in the middle east and africa and elsewhere. The Algerians gained liberty even though it took them 130 years. The entity you mentioned is no different.
This video kicked off with a huge fallacy. One of the two samples, the J-ZS241 sample in particular which is used as a genetic proxy for Ancient Israelites, is associated with Pre-Israelite Canaanite populations in the Levant who at their genesis are more genetically related to various Hurro-Urartian derived groups like the Mittani, Guttians, Hurrians etc. who entered the Levant during the mid-Bronze Age and assimilated into, as well as invaded, conquered and precipitated the collapse of several indigenous Semitic civilizations such as the Ebla civilization in Syria as well as the Akkadian empire. The Eblaites and Akkadians in all likelihood, are the most closely related ancestral population to the Israelites, who themselves were most likely descendants of the Natufians who were Proto-Semites. Bronze Age Canaanites are descendants of Kura-Araxes civilization who were not Semitic speakers, initially, but adopted the language later from indigenous Semites in the region (descendants of Natufians). The Israelites and Canaanites were absolutely NOT the same people, based upon what the Israelites wrote about themselves as well as the Canaanites. In the generally accepted timeframe where Abraham would've began his migration away from his homeland in Southern Mesopotamia, is coincidentally the exact same time when several Hurro-Urartian groups, along with the Amorites who were heavily assimilated with these groups, invaded and took over Akkad, Ebla and Ur (Abraham's homeland). And you can observe the animus between Abraham and his tribe and descendants and the Hurro-Urartian/Amorite descendants (Bronze Age Canaanites) All over the Torah/Tanakh. Additional evidence is found in some of the names of the enemies of the Israelites that they encountered as they left Egypt and entered the Levant. Several names of Canaanites and Canaanite tribes that were conquered by the Israelites were Hurrian derived linguistically. Sheshai and Talmai (Joshua 15:14) The Perrizites, Girgashites and Hivites are of Hurrian origin (Hess et al.). While the Hittites and Jebusites are thought to be of Indo-European origin. These are the groups that Bronze Age Canaanite DNA samples belong to, not the Israelites. The Israelites most likely derive from the Southern Mesopotamian originiated Nomadic Habiru (Hebrews), Who have the exact same migration pattern, were slaves in Egypt just like the Israelites and they invaded the land of Canaan after being slaves in Egypt as documented in the Amarna letters Israelites = Egypto-Habiru (Descendants of Natufians/Proto-Semites) Bronze Age Canaanites = Hurro-Urartian (Descendants of Kura-Araxes culture) Two completely different peoples.
Good points. I think the video is well-intended, but falls completely short of identifiying ancient Israelites. He did not even use archaeological findings to bolster the true phenotype of the Israelites-- which would actually lend credence to the Ashkenazi claim over the Mizrachi claim that. Meaning, ancient Jews actually looked like Ashkenazi, with lighter hair, some even having fair eyes. One thing I might correct you on, the Jews were not natufians. The Jews, Israelites, came from north of the Euphrates and before that they migrated from Mt. Ararat, Turkey. That is to say, the Jews are from north of the original spot of the natufians. They were not native to the Levant, in all reality. However, Jews were granted the land of the canaanites. But make no mistake, they were not natufians. They had lighter skin, and they were from further north than most suspect.
@@Bittzenboth are trying to make claims based on the Bible and biblical archeology. Ur is still disputed-some think it might actually be Urfa in Southern Turkey instead of the one in Iraq.
Palestinian as a people is a modern identity during the British Mandate time and they are very diverse as well just like the Jews but somehow the genetic studies use population from certain regions which have higher population of Christians and Samaritans which constitute a very minute percentage of the whole Palestinian people. The Palestinian genetic study should be done by including the information of which clans, tribes, families that they come from because each group are not mixing or intermarrying one another. They marry within their own clans/tribes (50% of marriage in Palestinian communities are cousin marriages). There are actually Palestinians who descend from the modern diaspora Jews for instance the Makhamara clan in Yatta, Hebron have tradition of coming from Khaybar Jews which in turn were Yemenite Jews. In 1938 during the British Mandate, they still maintain their Jewish tradition like celebrating Hanukkah with the other Jews despite being Muslims. There are also very notable great families among the Israeli Arabs in Haifa and the north as well as northen Palestinians known as Abulafia and Abuhasira who were descendant from Sephardic Jews who came to Ottoman Levant in 15th century from the Spanish Inquisition. Many Israeli Sephardi Jews with the same surname (Abuhatzira and Abulafia) who can trace their generations back to Ottoman times are from the same people who nnever convert to Islam. Apart from the known modern day Jewish descendant clans/families there are also the prominent Husaini and Nusaybah clans are 7th CE Quraysh Arabs while the Abu Ghoshes are descendants of the 12 CE Eastern European Crusades and their Kurdish counterpart; al-Kurdi, the Nashashibis who are 15th CE Circassians, the Doghmush in Gaza who are 20th CE Turks, the Bushnak the 19th CE Bosniaks. There are also a Chechen neighbourhood in Abu Ghosh in Palestine who came in 19th century as well. And don’t forget the Afro Palestinians and the nomadic Bedouin tribes who have been within their own communities since immemorial. Where are their genetic profiles and why is this not mentioned at all and the results somehow suggest as if all of these people are uniform and homogeneously descended from the ancient Samaritans even prior to the Arab Conquest of the Levant in 7th century, prior to the Crusades, Mamluks, Ottoman and British period?
Thank you bro, finally some logical guy in here who is a genius in this. Also I disagree about his point accusing the Israelites of being polytheists in the kingdom of Israel
In this video, he actually mentions how Palestinians are diverse and uses several samples from different parts of Palestine. It’s almost as if you didn’t even watch the video.
@@xplicitgoofy1015 they were polytheists in the kingdom of Israel - this is fact. There is not one historian who will dispute this, not even the Zionist ones. Monotheism didn’t come to the Israelites until the fall of the Babylonian empire.
Great video. So basically, if we base it purely on genetics, the argument that Israelis have rights to land over the Palestinians is false. As both are descendants of the biblical Israelites.
The bible was written 300-400 years after the events happened and do not tell actual history. You do not gain claim of land based off a book, sorry. Israelites did not exist. Which has been proven by archeology. This work in this video is done by Israel and is pushing a false narrative so they can continue to steal Palestine.
@@adamnesico if that’s all it takes, I think I might start worshipping Jupiter and the ancient Roman gods so I have a claim on most of the meditation….. except in winter when I might worship the Aztec gods so I have somewhere warm to go on holidays 😂😂
The ancient Israelites were mostly Canaanites who embraced the worship of Yahweh with an Amorite immigrant minority “Abraham and his descendants,” meaning they were not much different from the rest of the inhabitants of the land of Canaan genetically, and three-quarters of the genes of the current population of Palestine are from the ancient inhabitants of Canaan, and the other quarter is mostly Greek and Arab
THS should be the top comment. This is the truth. There was no huge Israelite kingdom, exodus never happened, and the stories were written years after the time.
@@paperringpink In fact, I am religious and I believe in the Exodus, but as a Muslim, the story of the Exodus in our religion is not as detailed as it is in the Bible. Therefore, I can accept the bulk of the modern scientific hypothesis for the emergence of the Israelites. What I think is that there was an Amorite immigrant nucleus “Abraham and his family” that gathered around it Canaanite Nomad individuals from the desert of the land of Canaan who formed the tribe of Israel. This tribe was exiled to Egypt, then returned and gradually spread its Jehovah religion among the Canaanites tribes by preaching, marriage and war and everyone who embraced this religion became Israelite in few generation until the historic Kingdom of Israel was formed
@@akramkarim3780 Tbh, I thought abraham was from the ubaid culture since he brought haplogroup J into the region. J is the most common haplogroup amongst arabs and Jews. Also the Ubaid culture was in his hometown of Ur in southern Iraq. Thats just my theory.
@@drbek597 If we assume that Abraham was from the Ubaid culture, this would make him very ancient compared to the historical events with which he is connected.

The problem with this video is that your displaying these ancient people as white caucasians. When in fact pale skin didn't develop in humans until 4 to 6 thousand years ago. Meaning the natufians (15,000 years ago) and the neolithic farmers (7,000 years ago) were darkskin black people.
The percentages take into account all ancestry, but when it comes to haplogroups I think Jews have a higher frequency of Levantine paternal haplogroups than Levantine maternal ones even despite the whole "being Jewish comes from your mother" thing.
@@Threezi04 That's merely Jewish law, most Jews in Israel are secular, additionally per Jewish law you are Jewish if you convert or are born to an ethnic Jewish mother, after the exile approximately 20,000 Jews in Italy married with local women, these women would convert.
Pumpkin, the cultures of European Jewish communities -- Sfaradis, Ashkenazis, Romaniote, Italqis -- are the results of the adaptation of a Levantine ME culture by its Jewish carriers to various European surroundings and cultures.

Hebrew is a Semitic language, from the Afro-Asiatic language family, known as the language of the Jews and the Samaritans. It belongs to the Canaanite language family and is the only Canaanite language spoken today
but only scholars used Hebrew for 2k years, while doing research. Modern Hebrew was made up by one guy after Israel was created. There were many words that didn't exist and for those he used Arabic or made words up
Odd As a Palestinian-Syrian Arab Muslim from my Palestinian (father's) side I have some jewish very likely Samaritan ancestry since I come from Nablus a homeland to many Samaritans in the past and even present.
@@DANIAL101 True, we are the locals of the area who never left but intermixed or assimilated to incoming peoples and cultures. Any claim that we are Saudi Arabians is false since those descending from Yemen and Parts of Saudi Arabia in Palestine are very little but even if thats true, lets say we are all Saudi Arabians who migrated a 1000 years ago. Isnt 1000 years enought to make us natives to the land? The English Anglo-saxons migrated to england roughly 1300 or 1200 years ago yet they are natives. The Slavic tribes migrated to the Balkans in the 7th-8th centuries then established political entities later on are they not natives? I am pretty sure that even if we are Saudi Arabians who migrated 1000 years ago (which we arent) it still makes us native to the land.
@@hishamalaker491 No 1000 years is not enough to make you native, and no Arabs migrated 1000 years ago other than the constantly on the move Bedouins. Yes, if you were once Samaritan, then you are native, and it is a right shame you converted to such a loser religion. All Palestinian Muslims do contain a percentage of Saudi Arabian though, and the Bedouins are mostly Saudis, and they are far more peaceful than the other Muslims in Israel, we get on rather well with them, like we do the Druze. I would consider going back to your roots if I were you and ditching your Islamic conversion which was probably forced upon you.
CACAZOIDS ARE NOT ANCIENT HEBREWS..LOL.. THERE WASN'T EVEN WHITE PEOPLE 9000 YEARS AGO. THEY WERE ONLY BLACK..ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE CACAZOID WHITES AN ORIGINAL PEOPLE.. SUCH BS.
I find it very interesting that apart from Samaritans, modern day middle eastern Christians (Palestinians, Jordanians, etc.) have the closest genetic distance to ancient Israeli DNA samples. So perhaps, modern day middle eastern Christians are the true descendants of ancient Israelis.
The first followers of Jesus were from the Jewish community. It would make sense that a substantial part of the heritage of Christian people living in the Levant would be from Jews of that era. These people would have adopted the Arabic language as it became the lingua franca of the Middle East under the Rashidun Caliphate. As generations passed and their identity became more Christian, they have forgotten their Jewish roots. What was really interesting is how the Arab Christians have the most ancestry from ancient Jews, and the Yemenite Jews have more actual Arabian ancestry than the people who identify as Arabs.
@@marcdigiambattista751 It's all fascinating. Arabs largely came from the north while Yemenis have been there for awhile and Yemenite Jews would mostly marry other Yemenite Jews. My family are Palestinian Syrian Christians who speak and pray in Aramaic, we sing Halelyu'Yah, praising Yah as the Jews do, my dad and sister look like Adam Sandler and 2 of my other sisters are red headed (likely from Levantine Amorites from Syria). We also however, preserve our ancient roots that go back farther than Judaism, though Judaism is a big part of our heritage. Also remember that Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism developed along side each other, branching out of second temple era Judaism, so most of us that became Christians early on, were not rooted in Rabbinic Judaism.
The modern day Jews are the true descendants of the Israelites as a majority of them maintained their culture and rarely much converts to the religion.
@@xplicitgoofy1015 There were two kingdoms, Samaria (Israel) and Judah....much of the Israelites in the Northern Kingdom did not become Jews. Samaritans preserved their ancient Israelite traditions and are still here today. Palestinian Christians branched out of second temple era Judaism while much of the other second temple era Jews then became Rabbinic Jews .
Salam Alaykum brother Ali. I'm actually a Samaritan from a Lebanese family, and we've always known ourselves to be Samaritans, and the very least Israelites. Can i order an ancestry kit form you where you test for Israelite lineage specifically? Please each out.
No offense intended, none of the people I've seen claiming to descend from Samaritans want to embrace full-fledged Samaritanism, which entails moving permanently to Israel to live among the Samaritans. Evidently this is too hard.

They are only a tiny tiny percentage, but still they can call themselves native if they so wish because that tiny tiny percent is pure Levantine and they speak Canaanite language and practice Ancient Israelite religion.
Well this is all wrong for several reasons entirely... The Bible does not really make any reference to the ancient Israelites appearance, but there are clues in the Bible that they did not look like the present-day demographic in the region, and you have to remember that Israel was divided into two kingdoms, the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah. Secondly, the Jews present in Israel today have a very miniscule amount of true Israelite ancestry any way, and they could not possibly genetically account for the ancestry of all the other tribes, being that they are only descended from one. There were thirteen tribes in ancient Israel. Dan Judah Levi Simeon Issachar Naphtali Asher Gad Reuben Zebulun Joseph Ephraim Manasseh Those tribes disappeared millennia ago, so claiming to have an accurate understanding of ancient Israel's genetic origins is impossible... I'll give you one clue... After the sacking of Israel during the reign of Ashurbanipal 721 B.C. and Nebuchadnezzar 651 B.C., so roughly between the 7th-8th centuries, while those tribes went into captivity and disappeared a suddenly new people never before mentioned in recorded history appear in the historical record, specifically in the work of Herodotus, when we the reader learn for the first time of these new people, a nomadic warrior nation known as Scythia suddenly burst on the scene, is it coincidence then that just around the time the northern kingdom of Israel disppears into obsecurity, the Scythians suddenly emerge out of it?!
@@Ariapeithes_ You're using the bible as your central "source" of argumentation in place of valid and credible evidence such as what this video relies upon, which completely invalidates your argument full stop.
The sample size for bronze age Israelites is two and they don't match and they are poor quailty. They are not compared to contemporary Samaritans, only modern. And Samaritans have had 2,000+ years to become homogeneous. Therefore they are the same as bronze age Israelites? What is the margin for error? 50%? 100%?
In what way were the samples they poor quality and how would that effect the results? They were able to derive genetic data enough produce tangible results. Furthermore, those results makes sense, especially, considering the fact that Palestinians and Samaritans inhabit the very country for whose ancient inhabitants they are being compared to. It makes sense they would have a high amount of genetic affinity. Btw it also shows Jewish populations having varying levels of affinity with the Israelites and Samaritans.
Why didn't they use iron age Israelite DNA? There is more of it and it is higher quality. And they would not have to substitute Samaritan DNA for it. And why did they not test Canaanite or Philistine iron age DNA to see how that population changed? So we have a sample size too small to tell an outlier from typical. Why does it matter? The narrator of the video chose his words carefully. I will too. @@jawadmaniaci91

So fascinating and wonderful and has enlightened me to the rich beautiful diversity we have today based on some core ingredients. Looking forward to your continued mini docs.
You have to realize that the 2 samples are literally ancient samples that were preserved well enough to extract ancient DNA from. two samples may not be anywhere as refined and holistic as 1,000 samples, but it's what genetic archaeologist have to work with.
I am talking about the Israelites and Hebrews before Judaism was codified. if you listened, the Caanites mixed with the Israelites. It took a couple of hundred of years for the Israelites to move from polytheism to montheism during the time of Moses. The ancient Israelites were a mix of different Semitic tribes. The Palestinians were not there at that time.
No, the fact that Ishmael was a few or several years older than Isaac does not make a convincing case. They were not in the land of Biblical Israel then either. Remember Ishamel was an illegitimate son since Hagar was the servant used to bear children. Once Sarah became pregnant with Isaac there was not a need for a mistress. They did live in this triangulated arrangement for awhile, but there was a reason why Haar and Ishamel were expelled. in the bible, there is a passage that indicates Ishamel touched Isaac inappropriately. The establishment of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah were from the line of Isaac. There was no sovereign Palestinian state in ancient and modern times. Geneticist state that the modern Palestinians came during a particular century and are from Greek/Phoenician origins. The current conflict is not new since the Arabs have had the most intense hatred towards jews since the expulsion of Hagar. The conflict is rooted from Sarah & Hagar, and definitely between Isaac and Ishamel.@@davidharrigan9884
DNA has nothing to do with location, and time period, it is God's mark of creation. Thats why we can look back, and identify each race, in history.

The most common Y-chromosomal haplogroups among Ashkenazi Jews are E1b1b1, J1, J2 and R1a1a. The study of Y-chromosomes has shown that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of immigrants from the Middle East. The migration took place presumably 1300-2200 years ago.

The genesis of humanity traces back to prehistoric eras, extending beyond the inception of human civilization - perhaps even when our ancestors swam as fishes in primordial oceans. It's vital to acknowledge that our presence isn't solely a product of individual desires. Amid conflicts, viewing each other as interconnected siblings, transcending diverse religions, cultures, and languages, becomes paramount. Each of us holds a unique significance in the vast, enigmatic expanse of our cosmic home, a fleeting existence amidst countless stars. The universe, intriguingly, resides within each of us. We are made of atoms, and atoms can't be destroyed?........
So in conclusion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict its two native people fighting for the same land? One of the two natives stayed and the other wants to return but neither want to co-exist?
Well not quite. One people are half Israelite. One is racially pure Israelite. Or in other words a bunch of mix race people who think they deserve land more than a pure race people.
@@noahtylerpritchett2682 You're hardly in a position to cast aspersoins on the genetic Levantine purity of modern Jews. But in the crux of this "conflict", a people whose genetic links to the Levant weakened somewhat during a millennia of persecution, but nevertheless clings to all the standards of indeneighty, is "duking it out" with a population that has a bit stronger *autosomal* genetic link to the Levant, but abhors all other aspects of indigeneity that render a people indigenous to the Land of Israel.
The genetic history of the peoples who made up the Middle East in the Bronze Age is very similar to what is mentioned in the Book of Genesis, in that the Canaanites were the first in the Levant and originated from Ham "north Africa" just like the Netufians, and the Semites are from Mesopotamia and their migration after the flood and just like the Neolithic Iranian farmers from Iraq, and the Anatolians were the Japhethites, Abraham migtation are like the Amorites migration as if the ones who wrote this book wrote it based on oral traditions dating back to the Neolithic era

Amazing video. I enjoyed hearing your evidence based hypothesis and seemingly unbiased perspective. I disagree with some of your conclusions but ultimately I think that this video helped reshape my own understanding of Jewish ancestry.
Prior to the existence of the Israelites and Canaanites, the region was inhabited by a people known as the Natufians. The people that have the most ancestry derived from the Natufians are the Yemenis from Mahra (70-75%). If I were to use zionist logic, this would mean that they have the most legitimate claim to the land of Israel/Palestine.
Wrong. The Natufians largely descended from North Africans carrying Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1b as well as from Anatolian people carrying Y-DNA haplogroups J1 and then J2. The Yemenites and other Southern Arabians, on the other hand, largely descend from Levantine and Northern Mesopotamian men who continued travelling into Southern Arabia and mixed with other people who were already living there (mainly people who had moved into that region already thousands of years ago from East Africa and whose descendants continued migrating Eastwards towards South Asia and Australia). They're called proto-Australoids. Secondly, Jews also made their way into Arabia and many of them converted to Islam. Hence, it's not surprising to see Yemenites and other Arabians with Jewish/Levantine ancestry.
@@YehudaLion WELL SAID!!!! The Natufians mixed with other groups to FORM THE CANAANITES. Those who didn't mix in with them didn't because they were already elsewhere.
This is just an additional layer onto what i've already read about in many books: The Palestinians that remained on the land retained a far higher ancestral heritage to ancient Israelites than the Colonizing Ashkenazi Jews that use Zionism as a political tool to dispossess the Indigenous Palestinians.
Don't make this about white colonizers though. Most of the Christian Palestinians, and northern ones are very white, even some with blonde hair and blue eyes.
@@aag3752 Palestinians are a significantly mixed heritage no doubt, with a degree of ancient european ancestry. However the Zionist State of Israel is not just about twisting the narratives about ancient ancestry and the judaic religion, it is also in significant part about whiteness, as it was allowed to exist as an extension of Colonialism from European Powers, who rigged the UN heavily to allow for Israel to exist on a land already occupied by an indigenous population, which directly violated the UN's very own foundational human rights charter. People from European Countries who have no Jewish ancestry can convert to Judaism and be recognized under the 'right to return' law in Israel and granted "israeli citizenship. In a bid to appear multi-cultural, Israel offered this to Ethiopian refugees as well, under the condition that they undergo a "voluntary sterilization" procedure. As a result, only 70% of Israeli Citizens were born in Israel, and of the immigrant-citizens the overwhelming majority of them are white immigrants from the US and Europe. Israel has very specific ethnic laws in place to ensure the "right of return" convert-immigrants are overwhelmingly white.
@@aag3752yes but the Zionist colonial project is a part of European Settler Colonialism, and must be distinguished as such in the context of the modern political environment. It’s not about “color” as much as it is about colonialism in general, and specifically the European Settler Colonialism of the Ashkenazi led Zionist movement, a group made mostly of European ancestry and therefore the least similar to the genetic line in question.
Note that Y-DNA hplogroup E1b1 is African in origin and over 80% of Africans carry it. People who carry it today that don't look African are mixed. The Natufians carried Y-DNA hplogroup E1b1. The Natufians did NOT have the A111T mutation in the SLC24A5 and SLC45A2 gene that caused pale skin in Middle Easterners and other West Eurasian populations. Proving they were purely African genetically and phenotypically. Haplogroup J, on the other hand originate from the Caucasus mountain and made their way into the the Middle East, hence bringing the gene for light skin.
@@shafsteryellow Y-DNA is 1% of our DNA, but that 1% encodes our paternal lineage and is passed on from male to male infinitely, irrespective of current phenotype. Y-DNA is the genetic surname of an individual. That means the first male(or clan) that carried E1b1 thousands of years ago have not gone one generation without giving birth to a male. So, that 1% of DNA is probably the most important since it NEVER change, even with admixing. That 1% takes away the mystery out of one's origin. Example, both Einstein and Hitlar carried E1b1, so we know what race or people fathered their father. They may look white but we know they were fathered by Africans.
E1b1b is North African/Levantine and is found among the main Jewish communities at frequencies ranging between 15% to 30%. Same thing among Lebanese and Arameans. The other two main Y-DNA haplogrups among Jews, Samaritans, Lebanese and Arameans are J1 and J2.

There was Violent mass Samaritan conversion to Islam in 19 century Grand Rabbi Osman empire tried hard to stop conversion of Samaritans in 19 cemetery However, significant part of Nablus city are Samaritans ancestors Again it depends on area
Not sure about that one since it violates the Shariah and since the 19th century was a period of decline in terms of the Ottomans in which the shariah had a weaker hold over the empire and they began to secularize. Even then yeah your kinda right in some cases during certain periods of either rebellions or anarchy Samaritans were forced to convert or did so out of convenience. About the Nablus one its intresting I am Palestinian-Syrian Arab Muslim from there. My Palestinian side is likely descended of these Samaritans as we are from Nablus and my grandpa kinda resembles them. While you are right regarding the conversion of Samaritans keep in mind not all of it was forced, As in most cases it was by rebels or rioters during periods of Anarchy under Abbasid rule. Also the Samaritans were persecuted and massacred by everyone, be it their fellow jews or Byzantium or Crusaders or even the Ottomans however not all Muslim dynasties did prosecute them and some were in clear violation of the Shariah when they either forcefully converted them or conducted non-Islamic actions against them or other Muslims as Islamic history tends to be messy with many factions popping up either to rebel against the local authority or to make up a new heresy.
@@hishamalaker491 lol " Fellow Jews" is an oxymoron, since the Samaritans weren't Jews when they were persecuted by some of the Hasmoneans. Like most people, you don't understand that while all Jews are Israelite, all Israelites are not Jews. The Samaritans are a brother ethno-religion to Judaism and its adherents/members. Secondly, the Muslims of Shekhem a.k.a. Nablous were intent on committing genocide against the remaining Samaritans in 1841 and the only thing that saved them was the intervention of one of Jerusalem's chief rabbis, who granted them a certificate to show Muslims, claiming they were "a branch of the Children of Israel" who "conceded the Torah's veracity". This is just is plainly inexcusable, regardless of the excuses raised to save face for Muslims and their religion -- especially taking into account that the Palis and their supporters relentlessly insist on the *lie* that there was blissful peace between everyone in "Palestine" since AD 638 until "the Zionists" came in 1881 and upset this serene existence.
Sounds about right. The Levant has long been a crossroads repeatedly invaded by foreigners (albeit often on the way to some bigger prize), so it's hardly surprising that there has been some admixture over time. But it's also not surprising that there doesn’t appear to have been any wholesale population replacement during the Holocene either: this is the observed pattern throughout all of southern Europe, the Fertile Crescent, Iranian Plateau and the Indian Subcontinent (northern Europe is the odd man out in this regard). It's also not surprising that most of the admixture has been with neighbouring populations long ago - particularly among those whose ancestors never left the region. That the populations in that part of the world who self-identify as "Palestinians" are closer to the ancient Israelites (and their Samaritan stand-ins) is also no surprise - nor is the fact than "northern Palestinians" (i.e. those inhabiting what was once the Iron Age Kingdom of Israel, along with the Samaritans themselves) are SLIGHTLY closer to them than those "southern" ones in what was once Iron Age Judah. Finally, given that many modern Jewish populations lived for centuries in diaspora communities (i.e. alongside non-Levantine peoples often at some distance from the NW Semitic heatlands), it's not surprising that - in spite of a relatively strong pattern of endogamy - they have somewhat more (and more distant) genetic admixture than Palestinians and (especially) Samaritans. But as the video points out, genetics has bugger-all to do with cultural identity and with the justice of aggressively pursuing historical claims to the lands of the southern Levant in the present day. Fundamentalists (on various sides) are all too ready to use genetics as a weapon to wield against other people - on the whole VERY SIMILAR people, in fact, given how small human genetic variation is all around the WORLD (let alone the small subset of humanity that can trace its ancestors back to a particularly tiny sliver of land at a particular period in time) compared to virtually every other widespread species...
There's *lots* of pretending going on about the Samaritans, that ignores that they've heavily intermixed with Jews for the past 100 years and Slavs over the last 2 decades. When and if the Samaritans allow the publication of DNA results that *truly* reflect their genetic diversity, the results will end all this PC and Orientalist tinged pretending, except for the most obstinate of antisemites. As far as the Palis go, more than 97% of them, the Muslims, are rather genetically mixed relative to their Christian peers, the majority of whom being 40-70% Levantine -- not genetically superior overall to the Israeli Jews, considering many Ashkenazi Jews are above 40% Levantine (before mentioning the rest of western Asia) and *AJs are less than 40% of Israeli Jews in total.* Mizrahi Jews can hold their ground in the 70+% Levantine zone.
@@ZviJ1Bollocks. We have the genetic distance of modern population to ancient Israelites. This video is literally a breakdown of the principle components. U can literally look up the genetic distance 😜
Except you "forgot" to mention that the Y-chromosomal markers that lead you to conclude Samaritans are descendants of Aaron, are the exact same Y-chromosomal markers on Jews with the last name Cohen or some variant. Which is how you came to that conclusion in the first place.
Well, the irony in this is that the Samaritan priests themselves aren't members of the Semitic lineages J2 and J1, but of E-M78... which is a native Egyptian lineage.
Good video and analysis, however, using only two genetic samples is not sufficient to draw overall conclusions from. Your analysis of two ancient genomes can only apply to the genetic lineage of those two ancient genomes and not a broader conclusion about the genetic origins of the Jewish people. You need a much larger sample size.
I take serious issue with using the Samaritans as place holders for the ancient Israelite population. This is because despite being endogenous it is almost certain that there much have been some intermarriage with non Samaritan populations as did happen with Jews. tis not to say that Palestinians aren’t indigenous or descendants of Israelites but it makes Jews look less indigenous than they are. The genetic closeness charts for the ancient Israelite population are available on Illustrativedna and the order of relatedness to the population is roughly 1. Lebanese Christian 2. Palestinian/Jordanian Christian 3. Lebanese Shia. 4. Mizrahi Jews 5. Palestinian Muslims. 6. Ashkenaz. Utilizing the Samaritan as a place holder despite them still being relatively far from the ancient Israelites, makes Mizrahim look not related at all to ancient Israelites.
Exactly. It was a big oversight not to point that out. Also, he fails to mention that both ancient samples come from the north (Abel Beth Maacah and Megiddo), which were part of ancient Israel, not Judah-the actual place of origin of Jews. I understand the practicality and convenience in presenting the facts this way, given the limited available samples and the absence of samples from Judah. However, he should have waited for new samples before making such claims or been clearer with what he was presenting. It's a shame, since it's a very interesting topic to say the least.

Palestinians in the south are largely descendants of Bedouin tribes, and a significant portion of Gazans as well. Well the rest are pretty much descended of local Levantines who converted to Islam and Christianity. The Negev area was very much like Jordan a very Bedouin area connected to the Arabian peninsula
That’s not true. Southern Palestinians are predominantly Canaanite ancestry, there is just more southern ancestry in them than Palestinians in the north. But that southern ancestry is not necessarily in the form of direct ancestry from Bedouin tribes in the last 1400 years. If you break down the components in the two Iron Age samples in this video (as I have done), the one from Megiddo has more of a southern type bedoin-like component in it than the one from Abel Beth Maacah. It could be that southern Palestinians have more of this type of Iron Age ancestry. Of course, some may have Arabian admixture or Egyptian admixture, but I wouldn’t necessarily chalk it up to that when more tests would have to be done to see if they score enough of the more southerly Iron Age sample type DNA. He used Samaritans as a reference population for an admixture analysis in this video, he didn’t use either of the Iron Age samples for that purpose so tests would need to be done to find out.
You need to understand many Arabs also migrated to the land including the north and intermixed with the native populations which is why modern Muslim Palestinians have native DNA is their genome also
@@xplicitgoofy1015 Palestinians, including Muslim Palestinians, predominantly descend from the native people of the land. Arabian DNA is not very high in Palestinian Muslims. There may be at least some Arabian admixture in Palestinian Muslims, but the native ancestry of the land still predominates enormously as is depicted in this video.
@@IslenoGutierrez same could be said for Jews yet you love to ignore their DNA findings and focus on other aspects. Palestinians have a DNA mixture that causes them to have an Arab-Levantine DNA admixture that’s what’s evident in the video
Excellent Study. I agree with the comment above that the PCA was done properly. (Mulitvariate anaysis is my area of expertise) I'm an Israeli archaeologist and the connection to Natufian and Neolithic populations is particularly interesting. It looks like a good, solid study. I am sharing it. I am sure you have a professional paper coming out of this, and I'd love to get a copy if you do.
There are very interesting excavations in Avaris in Egyptian Delta, Bietak I Believe is a name of the lead archeologist, it was a very large semitic population that went through good times and then bad times and then left and then was replaced by a completely different semitic population. There are multiple opinions but some researchers say it was proto-israelites - for what it's worth. Excavations themselves are quite fascinating, been going on for close to 40 yrs now
The Samaritan Kohanim belongs to a down subclade of YDNA E-V22, which is E-FT161981. Not just simply E1b1.E1b1a has absolutely nothing to do with NATUFIAN. The Natufian culture belonged to E1b1b.
@Biblical_DNA Background on the E1b1a Haplogroup: A haplogroup is a group of alleles inherited from a single parent (i.e. either the mother or the father). E1b1a (also known as E-M2) forms part of the E-V38 haplogroup found on the human Y chromosome - making it a paternally inherited clade. Remains found in modern day Israel were analysed and confirmed to carry this haplogroup, dating as far back as the Natufian culture - a peoples living in the Levant (Eastern Mediterranean area of Western Asia) some 14000 years ago. Present day, the E1b1a clade is predominantly found in Western Africa, followed by Central and Southern Africa. It has also been found, to a lesser extent in Northern Africa and the Middle East. It is also present in modern populations of Mizrahi Jews, Palestinians, Druze, and Bedouins - all whom have ancestral ties to ancient Israelites.
Prophet Ibrahim is of Chaldean origin, and they are a people who migrated from the Al-Ula region in the northwest of the current state of Saudi Arabia 4,500 years ago due to drought and desertification to Mesopotamia, Iraq and Syria today. He moved to the Levant and Palestine or the land of Canaan, and he married his cousin Sarah. Then from Hagar, the mother of Ismail, who lived in Mecca while his brother Isaac remained in Palestine. During the era of the Prophet Joseph, they moved to Egypt and remained there for approximately 430 years. The Children of Israel intermarried with the peoples who lived among them, and then after leaving Egypt and the wanderings, they lived around the area of Palestine. Until they invaded it and established a state, and then came the Babylonian invasion, after which they spread throughout the region and the world... and with regard to the Jews of the Arab region, including the Samra sect, they are distributed in several regions (Jews around the world are a mixture of multiple races and nationalities and are not pure in race)... and of course Some of them converted to Christianity, and some of them became Muslims. There are Palestinian families of Jewish origins, such as the Dweik, Rajoub, and others. The controversy surrounding the Jews in this time is a deception and exploitation of the Jewish religion and Jews around the world for the sake of an expansionist colonial project in the Arab region. The world to control and dominate energy sources, trade routes and influence
The Palestinians are actually the real Semites while most Zionist Israelis are not since they are Ashkenazi who descend from Gomer and Japheth (Europeans). Here’s the proof... Genesis 10:1-3 1 “This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.” 2 “The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek and Tiras.” 3 “The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.” Only 10 to 15 percent of Jewish people are actual middle eastern while the rest are European imposters.
Get serious. The decision to label the Jews of eastern Europe Ashkenazi has nothing to do with any special relationship to Ashkenaz mentioned in the Bible; it is just a romantic borrowing from scripture, like an American naming their bullfrog "Jeremiah".
Think before you type. About 50 percent of the Israeli Jewish population are Mizrahi Jews who have lived in the Levant and adjacent areas for thousands of years.
@@tagbarzeev8283 That’s FALSE! 80-to-90% of world Jews are Ashkenazis who came from Europe. The Torah (Genesis 10:3) says they descend from Gomer and Japheth but NOT from Shem. Ashkenazis are NOT even Semites according to the Torah.

This you tube channel is soft on Jews versus the Palestinians. For Jews, identity transcends DNA , but not so for Palestinians. This video also pretends that Jews somehow has the ancient DNA , but Palestinians dont
lol .... Group heritage and identity transcend DNA for every people worldwide *except* the Palis, because the Palis have no real national and ethnic heritage or identity that precede the 1960's. The only reason that more than half of humankind is willing to support the Palis in their attempt to supplant the actual standard for determining indigenous status, based on group heritage and identity, with their newfangled one based on DNA, is that the Palis are laboring against the Israeli *Jews.* This poor excuse for standard is unacceptable anywhere else.
I always knew the Palestinians were the descendants of the ancient Israelites! I have always said this to be the case. Great video! Very well presented
The early zionists also believed this, they wanted to offer Palestinians to convert back to Judaism. But the non-Jewish Palestinians didn't do it as I understand.
Gene research from 2001 by a highly experienced immunologist found no discernable difference between Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians. The Palestinians descend from Jews who converted to Christianity and Islam later. Palestinians may speak Arabic and the majority practice an Arabian religion, but they are genetically levantines who never left the land and go back 4000 years. One researcher from Israel put the Arab genes in Palestinians at less than 5%. Either way, the Palestinians are the continuous inhabitants of the land and the indigenous people. Israelis teach their children that Palestinians are 'recent Arab migrants' to the region and this is an act of genocidal erasure of the native people. Palestinians have the most claim to the land, yet on any post about Palestinian culture you'll see Zionists show up mocking and dismissing it. Other colonial powers at least acknowledge the indigenous people as indigenous, the Israelis believe themselves to be the indigenous people and the Palestinians to be foreigners. It's like Australians trying to claim Britain in two thousand years because of their ancestry, and saying that the Brits who never left aren't native to Britain. Until Zionists rectify this fantasy, they will continue to oppress and deny Palestinian people. They must catch up with modern science and archaelogy, because it will become common knowledge eventually, and the Holocaust they are committing on the Palestinians will be even more morally indefensible. If that's even possible.
Yes, Palestinians are the native people of the land. But there is indeed discernible genetic differences between Palestinians and Middle Eastern Jews. This video showed them. Middle Eastern Jews don’t have as much of the native ancestry as the Palestinians since there are genetic differences between Middle Eastern ancestries and populations.
Not true bcz most of those u call "palstinians" migrated from other countries in the region. As u can see all the countries here share similar DNA, so someone u call "palstinian" lived in Jordan for 3000 years and then 100 years ago migrated to Israel and u won't be able to notice
@@idonakash9169 Palestinians ARE NOT descendants of recent migrants, only some are. Majority have been living there since God knows when. A quick research will show you that the population growth that happened during mandatory palestine was mostly the result of a natural increase of Palestinian birth rates and immigration only played a minimal role in it. Also many immigrants were temporary workers. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Palestine_(region) "According to Roberto Bachi, head of the Israeli Institute of Statistics from 1949 onwards, between 1922 and 1945 there was a net Arab migration into Palestine of between 40,000 and 42,000, excluding 9,700 people who were incorporated after territorial adjustments were made to the borders in the 1920s. Based on these figures, and including those netted by the border alterations, Joseph Melzer calculates an upper boundary of 8.5% for Arab growth in the two decades, and interprets it to mean the local Palestinian community's growth was generated primarily by natural increase in birth rates, for both Muslims and Christians." "According to a Jewish Agency survey, 77% of Palestinian population growth in Palestine between 1914 and 1938, during which the Palestinian population doubled, was due to natural increase, while 23% was due to immigration." "The overall assessment of several British reports was that the increase in the Arab population was primarily due to natural increase."
@mariabop no, most of them are migrators it's easy to see that and they say that themselves. Their 2 most popular last name is El masri. I don't know about u but it doesn't sound native to me
WRONG! Palestinians are not even an ethnicity, nor a nationality, they are a political identity created by the KGB and PLO in 1964. Those claiming to be Palestinians are mostly not even from Palestine. The population was under 350,000 people for thousands of years prior to the 1860s. The population was over 750,000 people in the first British census in 1922, and nine years later was increased to over 1 million people.

They found two bones closely related in DNA but from different regions and times. This evidence suggests a connection, indicating that the people linked by DNA who lived in that area during those times were the Israelites.
The Ashkenazim are not Khazars; this claim has been largely debunked. If you watch this channel’s earlier video about the Ashkenazi Jews's ancestry profile, you know their ancestry is of mixed background comprising Levantine and Southern European ancestry.

This is my observation. Palestinians were the same Israelites we have read on Bible. Also Palestinians were also the Gentiles we read in the Bible. Also Palestinians are the Philistines we read in the Bible. Jew is a religion. Judaism spread across the region. Mizrahi Jew having close DNA is because they are middle eastern. It's same way Western Africans have closer DNA. Same way South Europeans have closer DNA. Same way Southeast Asians have closer DNA. Same way North Asians have closer DNA. Having a closer DNA doesn't mean you are from same land. It means you are from same region hence might have mixed through centuries of migration. This is why this talk of Jewish DNA is nonsense. There's no such a thing as Jewish DNA. Same way there's no Christian or Muslim DNA. Yes we have Ethnic DNA. Have you checked Yemini Jews DNA, are they different from Yemeni Muslims? Have you checked Moroccan Jew DNA are they different from morrocan Muslims? Does it mean those Yemeni Muslims and Morrocoan Muslims are from historic Palestine?
Philistine were so called sea people that settle in what is now Gaza Strip. They had more connection to Greeks as they originated from Greece/West Anatolia. They would eventually be assimilated before 500BC. So they have no connection to Palestinian Arabs in today Israel.
there are 3 reasons to what you said (and willing to deny because it doesn't fit your thinking): 1) hosting nations had been RAPED Jewish females 2) people from outside wanted to be part of the tribe and went through learning of the way of life and culture to get accepted (not guaranty to be accepted) 3) people from inside wanted to assimilate to the local culture (which we see what such assimilation did to the Indigenous people in America continent) You menshed the Plishtim (Polesh- invator) who are origenally from Greece; but don't let the facts confuse you and just move on...
It's crazy that the first picture you have is a Israelite with dreads and a headband on with his nose broken off so you can't tell he is black smh. If you we we not thought to skip over details we would know the Israelites of the Bible where desired as black
Lol, keep telling yourself that bud. Do you even understand how geography works? Do you even realize why you are from the nergoid race? Why Chinese people have those eyes? You realize that it has to do with geography right? Blacks come from sub saharan africa, very close to the EQUATOR. The equator is typically more humid due to the warm temperatures and the large amount of solar energy it receives. Hence why blacks look the way they look, thats where they evolved. No black person comes from the medditeranian. Please go do some research and be proud of being from west, central africa instead of going mental on some texts.
I find it very telling that at the end of the video you refrain from saying that the Israelis have less ancient Israelite blood then many Arabs do. And then if that isn't enough, you completely go against the entire premise of the video by claiming that DNA is not the whole story and that the Israeli people are really very diverse and so any definitive determination is essentially not possible. You were very certain and provided many evidences for the other ethnic groups. There is a reason why DNA testing is frowned upon in Israel. The reason being it would destroy the false Zionist narrative that the Europeans that stole the land had a right to do so because of genetic origins.
I "love" how the "anti-Zionist" (wink wink) believe they know everything about subjects like DNA testing in Israel, when all they know is what their propaganda script informs them, but not the actual facts that are very different.

As a geneticist, this was actually really well done. You employed the right models (your interpretation of principal component analysis was on point), and you connected it with history at a high level. Fascinating stuff and good use of the research.
He is the GOAT this guy. Love his videos are so professional.
His video was a bit sloppy imo. Too much history, too little about genetics. Also, the pictures he used don't seem accurate at all. The Natufians certainly weren't that dark skinned. Many Levantine people are white skinned. This isn't because of Europe. Europeans get much of their genes from the Middle East, in fact. So there must have been light skinned people in the Levant in the Bronze age, and many would have had colored eyes, like their descendants.
I think in life sometimes when your ideology doesn’t match with the fact, maybe it’s better to change the ideology and not the facts. 😂 I don’t think you watched the whole video because the majority of it is comparing genetic samples of modern people in the region with ancient samples of Israelites and the modern Samaritan populations. Videos is solid!
@@jawadmaniaci91 Are you replying to my comment? You probably didn't understand what I said. I said that the pictures aren't accurate. They're probably generated by AI. And that inaccuracy is irresponsible. There is no way that everybody was dark like that. There are Samaritans and other Levantines now with light features. So why is he choosing only dark skinned pictures? There's an inherent bias there. An assumption that middle easterners are dark. When the majority of Levantines have light features.

There is evidence that many Palestinians had ancestors who were once Jews. Israeli researcher Tsvi Misinai conducted anthropological research throughout several Palestinian villages. According to his findings, there are certain customs and traditions among the Palestinians that are of Judaic origins.
It’s obvious because arabisation and islamisation of Palestinians doesn’t make them any less Israelite. They’re farmers, tied to the land for millennia, they never left like merchants and pastoralists would.

The Palestinian Arab population has increased by over 500% since Israel was reestablished in 1948, in a war the Arabs started and lost. Many Arabs who call themselves Palestinians are descended from Arabs who migrated to the area AFTER Jewish settlers began to improve the land, drained the malaria swamps, and developed productive farms in areas that were basically empty wasteland. Don't believe me. Read "Innocents Abroad" by Mark Twain, written in 1869 describing what "Palestine" was really like. Hint: forget about some mythical golden age that Zionism destroyed. He described Palestine as mostly empty, and depressing. In fact, if Israel had lost the war in 1948 or the Jews had never returned to the Land of Israel from where they were expelled by the Romans, there'd have been NO so-called Nation of Palestine. The area would have been divided up among Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, and that would have been the end of it (not counting the tens of thousands of Jews who would have been massacred and expelled had Israel lost. Oct 7 gives a good example of that.). Jordan ruled the West Bank and East Jerusalem from 1948 until 1967, until captured by Israel in the Six-Day War -- yet another war the Arabs started.
If there was such a nation of Palestine, why weren't you demanding an end to that occupation of what you claim are such sacred Palestinian lands that you must have for your state? Never mind that the Arabs and the Palestinian leadership have rejected each and every peace proposal offered to them for an independent state since 1937. In WWII, over 500,000 German civilians were killed. Were the Allies at war with Nazi Germany to exterminate German civilians or because they had to do what it took to defeat Nazi Germany? And unlike Hamas psychopaths, the Nazis didn't use civilians as human shields and stick all their military assets in civilian areas. Genocide is supposed to reduce populations. Not increase them by 500%. Genocide is the intention of wiping out an entire people. Not civilians caught in the crossfire because Hamas deliberately places their combat assets in civilian homes, schools, and hospitals, leaving Israel no choice but to do what it has to to defeat Hamas, just as the Allies did what they had to do to destroy the Nazi regime. The same with Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad. Don't want killing? Tell Hamas to surrender. To date, they've rejected 17! proposals to stop the fighting. Stop crying in your beer and move on. You don't want killing? Don't start wars. And certainly don't support psychopathic killers like Hamas who behead babies, rape and mutilate teenagers, butcher senior citizens, then videotape and celebrate over it all, and kidnap innocent people as hostages. And then dance in the street and pass around candy in the streets of Gaza, along with thousands of other "innocent" civilians celebrating their bloody barbarity. If you're so concerned about genocide, where were you when Bashir al-Assad murdered 400,000 Syrians including dropping chemical bombs on them banned by international law. Where were you then?
As far as Palestinian Arab ties to the Jews, well obviously you're descended from Jews who decided to convert to Islam centuries ago, mostly likely because they didn't want to be treated as second-class citizens anymore and forced to pay the jizya tax all non-Muslims were forced to pay their Muslim overlords under Sharia Law. Finally, a second genetic study should be done of Palestinian Arabs to see what percentage are actually descended from those migrants from Arabia which is where the Muslim armies came that conquered and converted much of these lands to Islam in the first place. By the sword. There was no democratic vote on the matter. If you look on RUclips, you can even find a clip of a top Hamas official ten years ago on Egyptian TV stating that most Palestinians are Egyptians and Saudis. Which is why he was complaining about the Egyptian government helping Israel blockade Gaza to prevent Iranian weapons from flooding in.
As a fellow Mountain Jew, my community’s endangered language was always very Semitic and had modern Arabic’s sounds and elements. We always looked much more like other Jewish communities from Syria and Iraq and even middle eastern Arabs than the people from Azerbaijan (the place we resided for 1,000+ years). Nonetheless, I’ve always wondered if my family’s history was, in fact, true, especially after seeing the entire world suddenly question my identity. I’m very grateful for your video and now feel more proud of who I am. I hope we can all watch this and ultimately become better people as a result. Thank you, sir

Well this is all wrong for several reasons entirely...
The Bible does not really make any reference to the ancient Israelites appearance, but there are clues in the Bible that they did not look like the present-day demographic in the region, and you have to remember that Israel was divided into two kingdoms, the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah.
Secondly, the Jews present in Israel today have a very miniscule amount of true Israelite ancestry any way, and they could not possibly genetically account for the ancestry of all the other tribes, being that they are only descended from one.
There were thirteen tribes in ancient Israel.
Dan
Judah
Levi
Simeon
Issachar
Naphtali
Asher
Gad
Reuben
Zebulun
Joseph
Ephraim
Manasseh
Those tribes disappeared millennia ago, so claiming to have an accurate understanding of ancient Israel's genetic origins is impossible...
I'll give you one clue... After the sacking of Israel during the reign of Ashurbanipal 721 B.C. and Nebuchadnezzar 651 B.C., so roughly between the 7th-8th centuries, while those tribes went into captivity and disappeared a suddenly new people never before mentioned in recorded history appear in the historical record, specifically in the work of Herodotus, when we the reader learn for the first time of these new people, a nomadic warrior nation known as Scythia suddenly burst on the scene, is it coincidence then that just around the time the northern kingdom of Israel disppears into obsecurity, the Scythians suddenly emerge out of it?!

Yeah probably the lost tribes of Israel after were exiled by the Assyrians mixed with the Scythians germanic people in the Caucasus, for generations, and migrated to central Asia, and from there to West Europe, and their upper mesopotamic related Anatolian DNA mixed with Canaanites got reduced, and these bones of ancient Israelites who had already mixed with ancient Canaanites belong to the period before the Assyrian exile and their DNA remained intact, but since the tribe of Judah from which the Jews come had not been exiled by the Assyrians, they still preserve a DNA related to the ancient canaanites as result of admixture.

So dont you have any percentage of Latine or Roman or Spanish or European DNA ? Are you a pure Jew as a direct decendant of Jacob ? You have a mixed DNA. Same as many Palestininans. But Palestininans born and live in Palestine not in Mexico , America or Russia or German . Palestine is their birth land. But your ancesters came from Mexico . So they are right. You cannot claim Israel as your country. Your country is America or Mexico. Most Jews always says Palestininans are Arabs from Makkah . That is also a big lie. Palestinans too have mixed Levent DNA and are born and live in Palestine . Palestinans have high percentage of Cananites DNA . Palestininans too have Jewish DNA.That is their land.. You cannot claim Israel is your promised land because you are a Jew, so as many European Jews. Then why do you live in America ? That was not your country . It belonged to native Americans .😅😂😂 . Most of Jews have mixed DNA . There are black Jews, white Jew, Yellow Jew, blond Jew, German Jew, Slavic Jew, Asian Jew, Indian Jew , Persian Jew , Arabic Jew, Russian Jew , Ethiopen Jew , Chinese Jew. Moroccan Jew , Spanish Jew, . Jews have different ethicities, different colour of skin and faces. If all Jews around the world claim their land is Israel/ Palestine , definitely Palestinian supporters will call that you are FAKE and they are 100 % right in their claim.
First of all , you are not 100 % pure direct decentant of Jacob . Secondly , there were many tribes lived in current Israel in stone age , Iron age and copper age long before Jacob was born . They lived even before Abraham migrated to Canan. Occupying and Harassing native people live in Palestine by using a religious book is a basic human rights violation . It should not be happen in the world. Christians live all over World. Can all of them claim Italy or Vatican is their country ? Muslims live all over the world, can all of them claim Saudi is their country ? Your ancesters live 2000+ or 1000 + years in Europe and mingled and mixed with others . Then you have right to claim Palestinians' lands and houses are your lands ? Your Jewish people are not only fake but also thieves. Sorry .
Your DNA connection comes from Spain, many moors comes from the levent, that's why many latin south American have some Arab DNA due to the inquisition.
Im also Mexican, I tested Haplogroup G2a on my YDNA. Anatolians :)
I tested out 5-7% North African Amazigh which I get from the Islamic period of Spain.
Of course, you have a link to Anatolia being Mexican. Your Spanish descent links you to that and hence is probably also the reason for the connection to the Levantine DNA..

1. We "Middle Easterners" are very diverse, genetically. The Levantine countries are more similar to each other, but still different. Lebanon generally has the whitest people in the region, our dna deriving primarily from the Levant and Caucuses, and secondarily from Europe. Our DNA is similar to the northern Palestinians he's talking about, who also have light features. And to Syrians who border us also. We do not look like Mizrahi Jews. So the point is, there are different ancestries, and many of us have Caucasian features (particularly in Lebanon).
2. The Palestinians are more native than modern day Jews that migrated there. In contrast, many Jews came from the outside in recent times. Except for Mizrahis.
3. To be transparent, I'm no supporter of political Zionism. But I have to agree with AncestralBrew, genes aren't everything. I personally don't think the Israel-Palestine conflict should be decided by genes at all. While we should acknowledge the fact that Palestinians are definitely native to the land, this does not mean that the Jews who came from Europe don't belong there. You can't just claim land based on ancestry. I'm 100% Lebanese, with some of my dna going back to the Romans, the Levant, and the Caucuses. Does this give me a right to claim Italy, Israel, and Turkey now? To put it more emphatically, Lebanese have the most Canaanite DNA of anybody in the world, according to recent genetic studies. But if we go by that, then Lebanese have the greatest claim to the entire region. And the Jews and even Palestinians should pack up and leave. Obviously, that would be absurd. Instead of going by DNA, I think the so-called holy land should be split fairly between people who were born and raised there. Easier said than done, I get it. But that would be the model to go by, not genetics.
i'd like to add that ashkenazi jews also do trace 50% of their linigage to the levant. but i really agree. if we are gonna debate over genetics, that is a very slippery slope.
I believe that the existence of Israel is entirely unethical for these very reasons and much more. there should be a single democratic state based on equal HUMAN rights for all, economic ownership of society to the people, and the right of return to the displaced palestinian diaspora and it should be called Palestine. Yes it is easier said than done no doubt, but there will be no peace until the injustice of the zionist settler-colonial project is dismantled and a state forged on equality and rights for all is established.
@@sab5686 Most Ashkenazy Jews still look eastern Mediterranean to me. Some are pretty white, this is true. But there's still something Levantine about them, so I don't doubt what you're saying.
@@sab5686 I agree, i certainly don't base my arguments on what should happen primarily on genetics, though the fact is that Zionist ideology forces the issue on genetics by directly trying to erase the indigenous Palestinian population and identity from the land and replace it with a colonial ethno-state that wipes away the rich history and mixed cultural identity of the land from thousands of years of history. I ultimately believe in a single state based on equality for all.

Even without genetics, it was clear that the Samaritans and Palestinians were descendants of the ancient Israelites.
The populations of the Levant, Muslims, Christians, Druze, Samaritans and Alawites, generally look like each other physically, with regional differences ( syrians of Aleppo are different from a Palestinian from the south of palestine. They share the same culture. Israelis, even Mizrahi, do not look like Palestinians except for the rare Levantines and Iraqi Jews (and then again) so not even talking about the Ashkenazim who are the majority of the Jewish people.
On the other hand, I agree that genetics is not identity. The problem is not that AN extremely genetically diverse populations can see themselves as a single people with the same origin but that this assertion seeks to erase the indigenous people. Israelis do not accept the fact that it is a country born from colonization and then immigration. For this they are trying to deny the Palestinians a truth which says that they are indeed indigenous. The Palestinians on the other side are so steeped in Arab nationalism that they have never collectively sought to tell their real story and not the myth that would make them Arabs of Arabia.
I am North African, I am Arab but I know that my ancestors 1400 years ago spoke Amazigh. I know that my Arabness is an identity and not a genetic one. Genetically I am a North African from the northeast of Algeria.
But at the end of the day i hope that palestinians and israelis leave in peace !
The majority of Jews in Israel are not ashkenazi. Less than 1/3 are Ashkenaz. Palestinians are all from surrounding nations who colonized the area, with some exceptions obviously.
@@micahasher7600 Nah, genetics now prove much of the Palestinians are natives, but Arabized like the Samaritans were too but still kept their heritage. Genetics also show much of the zionist colonizers from europe are mixed with people from countries surrounding Palestine and in europe and in central Asia.
You're so misinformed it's tragic. Palestinians carry very little actual Arab DNA & are in fact closer to the Israelites than most Jews genetically, they are descendants of canaanites/israelites. Whilst the population of Israel is mostly non ashkenazi they were the founders of Zionism which turned Palestinians into refugees on their own land. The state of Israel was created and run by Ashkenazis before conglomerating Jews from around the world a lot of whom received racism from them when they arrived. The founders referred to it as a settler colonial state so you tell me.@@micahasher7600
@@micahasher7600 Most of jews IN THE WORLD are Ashkenazis.
But even without that. The Jews of Yemen; from Ethiopia, North Africa, Iran from the caucasus are not Levantines neither genetically nor anything at all.
Genetics today proves your claims to be false. Palestinians are related to ancient people from palestine not 90% of israelis. It doesn(t change anything because israelis exist today and palestinians and israelis have to find peace.
Furthermore, people have to be damn stupid to believe that Palestine (haifa, nazareth, jerusalem, hebron, jenine, lod, gaza,) was uninhabited before the arrival of the first Zionist settlers. It's so ridiculous that it amazes me that Israelis can believe it.

Very well done; I appreciate your respectful approach! Peace to you too!🕊
Great and thorough job Ali 👌
This video kicked off with a huge fallacy. One of the two samples, the J-ZS241 sample in particular which is used as a genetic proxy for Ancient Israelites, is associated with Pre-Israelite Canaanite populations in the Levant who at their genesis are more genetically related to various Hurro-Urartian derived groups like the Mittani, Guttians, Hurrians etc. who entered the Levant during the mid-Bronze Age and assimilated into, as well as invaded, conquered and precipitated the collapse of several indigenous Semitic civilizations such as the Ebla civilization in Syria as well as the Akkadian empire.
The Eblaites and Akkadians in all likelihood, are the most closely related ancestral population to the Israelites, who themselves were most likely descendants of the Natufians who were Proto-Semites. Bronze Age Canaanites are descendants of Kura-Araxes civilization who were not Semitic speakers, initially, but adopted the language later from indigenous Semites in the region (descendants of Natufians). The Israelites and Canaanites were absolutely NOT the same people, based upon what the Israelites wrote about themselves as well as the Canaanites.
In the generally accepted timeframe where Abraham would've began his migration away from his homeland in Southern Mesopotamia, is coincidentally the exact same time when several Hurro-Urartian groups, along with the Amorites who were heavily assimilated with these groups, invaded and took over Akkad, Ebla and Ur (Abraham's homeland). And you can observe the animus between Abraham and his tribe and descendants and the Hurro-Urartian/Amorite descendants (Bronze Age Canaanites) All over the Torah/Tanakh.
Additional evidence is found in some of the names of the enemies of the Israelites that they encountered as they left Egypt and entered the Levant. Several names of Canaanites and Canaanite tribes that were conquered by the Israelites were Hurrian derived linguistically. Sheshai and Talmai (Joshua 15:14) The Perrizites, Girgashites and Hivites are of Hurrian origin (Hess et al.). While the Hittites and Jebusites are thought to be of Indo-European origin. These are the groups that Bronze Age Canaanite DNA samples belong to, not the Israelites.
The Israelites most likely derive from the Southern Mesopotamian originiated Nomadic Habiru (Hebrews), Who have the exact same migration pattern, were slaves in Egypt just like the Israelites and they invaded the land of Canaan after being slaves in Egypt as documented in the Amarna letters
Israelites = Egypto-Habiru (Descendants of Natufians/Proto-Semites)
Bronze Age Canaanites = Hurro-Urartian (Descendants of Kura-Araxes culture)
Two completely different peoples.
Good points. I think the video is well-intended, but falls completely short of identifiying ancient Israelites. He did not even use archaeological findings to bolster the true phenotype of the Israelites-- which would actually lend credence to the Ashkenazi claim over the Mizrachi claim that. Meaning, ancient Jews actually looked like Ashkenazi, with lighter hair, some even having fair eyes. One thing I might correct you on, the Jews were not natufians. The Jews, Israelites, came from north of the Euphrates and before that they migrated from Mt. Ararat, Turkey. That is to say, the Jews are from north of the original spot of the natufians. They were not native to the Levant, in all reality. However, Jews were granted the land of the canaanites. But make no mistake, they were not natufians. They had lighter skin, and they were from further north than most suspect.

Of course you will want to include bible myths into this
Palestinian as a people is a modern identity during the British Mandate time and they are very diverse as well just like the Jews but somehow the genetic studies use population from certain regions which have higher population of Christians and Samaritans which constitute a very minute percentage of the whole Palestinian people.
The Palestinian genetic study should be done by including the information of which clans, tribes, families that they come from because each group are not mixing or intermarrying one another. They marry within their own clans/tribes (50% of marriage in Palestinian communities are cousin marriages).
There are actually Palestinians who descend from the modern diaspora Jews for instance the Makhamara clan in Yatta, Hebron have tradition of coming from Khaybar Jews which in turn were Yemenite Jews. In 1938 during the British Mandate, they still maintain their Jewish tradition like celebrating Hanukkah with the other Jews despite being Muslims.
There are also very notable great families among the Israeli Arabs in Haifa and the north as well as northen Palestinians known as Abulafia and Abuhasira who were descendant from Sephardic Jews who came to Ottoman Levant in 15th century from the Spanish Inquisition. Many Israeli Sephardi Jews with the same surname (Abuhatzira and Abulafia) who can trace their generations back to Ottoman times are from the same people who nnever convert to Islam.
Apart from the known modern day Jewish descendant clans/families there are also the prominent Husaini and Nusaybah clans are 7th CE Quraysh Arabs while the Abu Ghoshes are descendants of the 12 CE Eastern European Crusades and their Kurdish counterpart; al-Kurdi, the Nashashibis who are 15th CE Circassians, the Doghmush in Gaza who are 20th CE Turks, the Bushnak the 19th CE Bosniaks. There are also a Chechen neighbourhood in Abu Ghosh in Palestine who came in 19th century as well.
And don’t forget the Afro Palestinians and the nomadic Bedouin tribes who have been within their own communities since immemorial.
Where are their genetic profiles and why is this not mentioned at all and the results somehow suggest as if all of these people are uniform and homogeneously descended from the ancient Samaritans even prior to the Arab Conquest of the Levant in 7th century, prior to the Crusades, Mamluks, Ottoman and British period?
Very interesting. Thanks.
Bro your comment is a masterpiece, where do you have all that information regarding every clan?
Thank you bro, finally some logical guy in here who is a genius in this. Also I disagree about his point accusing the Israelites of being polytheists in the kingdom of Israel

@@xplicitgoofy1015 they were polytheists in the kingdom of Israel - this is fact. There is not one historian who will dispute this, not even the Zionist ones. Monotheism didn’t come to the Israelites until the fall of the Babylonian empire.
Great video. So basically, if we base it purely on genetics, the argument that Israelis have rights to land over the Palestinians is false. As both are descendants of the biblical Israelites.
The argument is they have the right for the land for their religion, not their blood or for be native. Muslims use same argument.
The bible was written 300-400 years after the events happened and do not tell actual history. You do not gain claim of land based off a book, sorry. Israelites did not exist. Which has been proven by archeology. This work in this video is done by Israel and is pushing a false narrative so they can continue to steal Palestine.
True, but neither do the Palestinians. Unfortunately many Muslims don't want to accept that a tiny part of the Middle East isn't an Islamic nation 😕

The ancient Israelites were mostly Canaanites who embraced the worship of Yahweh with an Amorite immigrant minority “Abraham and his descendants,” meaning they were not much different from the rest of the inhabitants of the land of Canaan genetically, and three-quarters of the genes of the current population of Palestine are from the ancient inhabitants of Canaan, and the other quarter is mostly Greek and Arab
THS should be the top comment. This is the truth. There was no huge Israelite kingdom, exodus never happened, and the stories were written years after the time.
@@paperringpink In fact, I am religious and I believe in the Exodus, but as a Muslim, the story of the Exodus in our religion is not as detailed as it is in the Bible. Therefore, I can accept the bulk of the modern scientific hypothesis for the emergence of the Israelites. What I think is that there was an Amorite immigrant nucleus “Abraham and his family” that gathered around it Canaanite Nomad individuals from the desert of the land of Canaan who formed the tribe of Israel. This tribe was exiled to Egypt, then returned and gradually spread its Jehovah religion among the Canaanites tribes by preaching, marriage and war and everyone who embraced this religion became Israelite in few generation until the historic Kingdom of Israel was formed

If the analysis would be conducted focusing on maternal lineage, would the results differ substantially?
The percentages take into account all ancestry, but when it comes to haplogroups I think Jews have a higher frequency of Levantine paternal haplogroups than Levantine maternal ones even despite the whole "being Jewish comes from your mother" thing.

I find it very interesting that apart from Samaritans, modern day middle eastern Christians (Palestinians, Jordanians, etc.) have the closest genetic distance to ancient Israeli DNA samples. So perhaps, modern day middle eastern Christians are the true descendants of ancient Israelis.
The first followers of Jesus were from the Jewish community. It would make sense that a substantial part of the heritage of Christian people living in the Levant would be from Jews of that era. These people would have adopted the Arabic language as it became the lingua franca of the Middle East under the Rashidun Caliphate. As generations passed and their identity became more Christian, they have forgotten their Jewish roots. What was really interesting is how the Arab Christians have the most ancestry from ancient Jews, and the Yemenite Jews have more actual Arabian ancestry than the people who identify as Arabs.
@@marcdigiambattista751 It's all fascinating. Arabs largely came from the north while Yemenis have been there for awhile and Yemenite Jews would mostly marry other Yemenite Jews.

Also remember that Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism developed along side each other, branching out of second temple era Judaism, so most of us that became Christians early on, were not rooted in Rabbinic Judaism.

Well this is all wrong for several reasons entirely...
The Bible does not really make any reference to the ancient Israelites appearance, but there are clues in the Bible that they did not look like the present-day demographic in the region, and you have to remember that Israel was divided into two kingdoms, the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah.
Secondly, the Jews present in Israel today have a very miniscule amount of true Israelite ancestry any way, and they could not possibly genetically account for the ancestry of all the other tribes, being that they are only descended from one.
There were thirteen tribes in ancient Israel.
Dan
Judah
Levi
Simeon
Issachar
Naphtali
Asher
Gad
Reuben
Zebulun
Joseph
Ephraim
Manasseh
Those tribes disappeared millennia ago, so claiming to have an accurate understanding of ancient Israel's genetic origins is impossible...
I'll give you one clue... After the sacking of Israel during the reign of Ashurbanipal 721 B.C. and Nebuchadnezzar 651 B.C., so roughly between the 7th-8th centuries, while those tribes went into captivity and disappeared a suddenly new people never before mentioned in recorded history appear in the historical record, specifically in the work of Herodotus, when we the reader learn for the first time of these new people, a nomadic warrior nation known as Scythia suddenly burst on the scene, is it coincidence then that just around the time the northern kingdom of Israel disppears into obsecurity, the Scythians suddenly emerge out of it?!
@@Ariapeithes_ You're using the bible as your central "source" of argumentation in place of valid and credible evidence such as what this video relies upon, which completely invalidates your argument full stop.
Excellent video , Love thst it stuck to the genetic facts and didn’t make it all about the current conflict
The sample size for bronze age Israelites is two and they don't match and they are poor quailty. They are not compared to contemporary Samaritans, only modern. And Samaritans have had 2,000+ years to become homogeneous. Therefore they are the same as bronze age Israelites? What is the margin for error? 50%? 100%?
In what way were the samples they poor quality and how would that effect the results? They were able to derive genetic data enough produce tangible results. Furthermore, those results makes sense, especially, considering the fact that Palestinians and Samaritans inhabit the very country for whose ancient inhabitants they are being compared to. It makes sense they would have a high amount of genetic affinity. Btw it also shows Jewish populations having varying levels of affinity with the Israelites and Samaritans.
Why didn't they use iron age Israelite DNA? There is more of it and it is higher quality. And they would not have to substitute Samaritan DNA for it. And why did they not test Canaanite or Philistine iron age DNA to see how that population changed? So we have a sample size too small to tell an outlier from typical. Why does it matter? The narrator of the video chose his words carefully. I will too. @@jawadmaniaci91

I am talking about the Israelites and Hebrews before Judaism was codified. if you listened, the Caanites mixed with the Israelites. It took a couple of hundred of years for the Israelites to move from polytheism to montheism during the time of Moses. The ancient Israelites were a mix of different Semitic tribes. The Palestinians were not there at that time.
Actually before, they are from Abraham/Hagar/Ishmael/12 sons, Abraham first born. Palestinians and todays Jews, have the same Haplogroup J.
No, the fact that Ishmael was a few or several years older than Isaac does not make a convincing case. They were not in the land of Biblical Israel then either. Remember Ishamel was an illegitimate son since Hagar was the servant used to bear children. Once Sarah became pregnant with Isaac there was not a need for a mistress. They did live in this triangulated arrangement for awhile, but there was a reason why Haar and Ishamel were expelled. in the bible, there is a passage that indicates Ishamel touched Isaac inappropriately. The establishment of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah were from the line of Isaac. There was no sovereign Palestinian state in ancient and modern times. Geneticist state that the modern Palestinians came during a particular century and are from Greek/Phoenician origins. The current conflict is not new since the Arabs have had the most intense hatred towards jews since the expulsion of Hagar. The conflict is rooted from Sarah & Hagar, and definitely between Isaac and Ishamel.@@davidharrigan9884
DNA has nothing to do with location, and time period, it is God's mark of creation. Thats why we can look back, and identify each race, in history. Jews and Arabs lived in peace for 1500 years, they have the same Haplogroup. Jews have no separate Haplogroup, and they are people of religion not race. @@Karen-dk1ec

The historicity of the Exodus is dubious at best, so it makes sense that it was left out.
The most common Y-chromosomal haplogroups among Ashkenazi Jews are E1b1b1, J1, J2 and R1a1a. The study of Y-chromosomes has shown that the majority of Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of immigrants from the Middle East. The migration took place presumably 1300-2200 years ago.

Fascinating report, thank you.
The genesis of humanity traces back to prehistoric eras, extending beyond the inception of human civilization - perhaps even when our ancestors swam as fishes in primordial oceans. It's vital to acknowledge that our presence isn't solely a product of individual desires. Amid conflicts, viewing each other as interconnected siblings, transcending diverse religions, cultures, and languages, becomes paramount. Each of us holds a unique significance in the vast, enigmatic expanse of our cosmic home, a fleeting existence amidst countless stars. The universe, intriguingly, resides within each of us. We are made of atoms, and atoms can't be destroyed?........
So in conclusion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict its two native people fighting for the same land? One of the two natives stayed and the other wants to return but neither want to co-exist?

The genetic history of the peoples who made up the Middle East in the Bronze Age is very similar to what is mentioned in the Book of Genesis, in that the Canaanites were the first in the Levant and originated from Ham "north Africa" just like the Netufians, and the Semites are from Mesopotamia and their migration after the flood and just like the Neolithic Iranian farmers from Iraq, and the Anatolians were the Japhethites, Abraham migtation are like the Amorites migration

Amazing video. I enjoyed hearing your evidence based hypothesis and seemingly unbiased perspective. I disagree with some of your conclusions but ultimately I think that this video helped reshape my own understanding of Jewish ancestry.
Prior to the existence of the Israelites and Canaanites, the region was inhabited by a people known as the Natufians. The people that have the most ancestry derived from the Natufians are the Yemenis from Mahra (70-75%). If I were to use zionist logic, this would mean that they have the most legitimate claim to the land of Israel/Palestine.
that isn't zionist logic.
In 2 years the migrant ar abs will claim they are netufians....
Thats after claiming they are
Cannanites

Zionist logic based less on dna, and more on the culture, history and the preservation of the native language of the land
Wrong. The Natufians largely descended from North Africans carrying Y-DNA haplogroup E1b1b as well as from Anatolian people carrying Y-DNA haplogroups J1 and then J2.
The Yemenites and other Southern Arabians, on the other hand, largely descend from Levantine and Northern Mesopotamian men who continued travelling into Southern Arabia and mixed with other people who were already living there (mainly people who had moved into that region already thousands of years ago from East Africa and whose descendants continued migrating Eastwards towards South Asia and Australia). They're called proto-Australoids.
Secondly, Jews also made their way into Arabia and many of them converted to Islam. Hence, it's not surprising to see Yemenites and other Arabians with Jewish/Levantine ancestry.
@@YehudaLion WELL SAID!!!! The Natufians mixed with other groups to FORM THE CANAANITES. Those who didn't mix in with them didn't because they were already elsewhere.
This is just an additional layer onto what i've already read about in many books: The Palestinians that remained on the land retained a far higher ancestral heritage to ancient Israelites than the Colonizing Ashkenazi Jews that use Zionism as a political tool to dispossess the Indigenous Palestinians.
Video just showed that they're both related to the israelites. And you still wanna promote your racism, not funny.
Both the palestinians and the Jews are mixed, so stop being racist.
Don't make this about white colonizers though. Most of the Christian Palestinians, and northern ones are very white, even some with blonde hair and blue eyes.
@@aag3752 Palestinians are a significantly mixed heritage no doubt, with a degree of ancient european ancestry.
However the Zionist State of Israel is not just about twisting the narratives about ancient ancestry and the judaic religion, it is also in significant part about whiteness, as it was allowed to exist as an extension of Colonialism from European Powers, who rigged the UN heavily to allow for Israel to exist on a land already occupied by an indigenous population, which directly violated the UN's very own foundational human rights charter.
People from European Countries who have no Jewish ancestry can convert to Judaism and be recognized under the 'right to return' law in Israel and granted "israeli citizenship. In a bid to appear multi-cultural, Israel offered this to Ethiopian refugees as well, under the condition that they undergo a "voluntary sterilization" procedure. As a result, only 70% of Israeli Citizens were born in Israel, and of the immigrant-citizens the overwhelming majority of them are white immigrants from the US and Europe. Israel has very specific ethnic laws in place to ensure the "right of return" convert-immigrants are overwhelmingly white.
@@aag3752yes but the Zionist colonial project is a part of European Settler Colonialism, and must be distinguished as such in the context of the modern political environment. It’s not about “color” as much as it is about colonialism in general, and specifically the European Settler Colonialism of the Ashkenazi led Zionist movement, a group made mostly of European ancestry and therefore the least similar to the genetic line in question.
As palstinine 6:21 we are not jews by origins neither sumrarins we came from canaanites not Hebrews
Note that Y-DNA hplogroup E1b1 is African in origin and over 80% of Africans carry it. People who carry it today that don't look African are mixed. The Natufians carried Y-DNA hplogroup E1b1. The Natufians did NOT have the A111T mutation in the SLC24A5 and SLC45A2 gene that caused pale skin in Middle Easterners and other West Eurasian populations. Proving they were purely African genetically and phenotypically.
Haplogroup J, on the other hand originate from the Caucasus mountain and made their way into the the Middle East, hence bringing the gene for light skin.
😂 What do you gain from lying? Ydna is 1% of your dna makeup
@@shafsteryellow Y-DNA is 1% of our DNA, but that 1% encodes our paternal lineage and is passed on from male to male infinitely, irrespective of current phenotype. Y-DNA is the genetic surname of an individual. That means the first male(or clan) that carried E1b1 thousands of years ago have not gone one generation without giving birth to a male. So, that 1% of DNA is probably the most important since it NEVER change, even with admixing. That 1% takes away the mystery out of one's origin. Example, both Einstein and Hitlar carried E1b1, so we know what race or people fathered their father. They may look white but we know they were fathered by Africans.
E1b1b is North African/Levantine and is found among the main Jewish communities at frequencies ranging between 15% to 30%. Same thing among Lebanese and Arameans.
The other two main Y-DNA haplogrups among Jews, Samaritans, Lebanese and Arameans are J1 and J2.

There was Violent mass Samaritan conversion to Islam in 19 century Grand Rabbi Osman empire tried hard to stop conversion of Samaritans in 19 cemetery However, significant part of Nablus city are Samaritans ancestors Again it depends on area
Religion of piece...
Not sure about that one since it violates the Shariah and since the 19th century was a period of decline in terms of the Ottomans in which the shariah had a weaker hold over the empire and they began to secularize. Even then yeah your kinda right in some cases during certain periods of either rebellions or anarchy Samaritans were forced to convert or did so out of convenience. About the Nablus one its intresting I am Palestinian-Syrian Arab Muslim from there. My Palestinian side is likely descended of these Samaritans as we are from Nablus and my grandpa kinda resembles them.
While you are right regarding the conversion of Samaritans keep in mind not all of it was forced, As in most cases it was by rebels or rioters during periods of Anarchy under Abbasid rule. Also the Samaritans were persecuted and massacred by everyone, be it their fellow jews or Byzantium or Crusaders or even the Ottomans however not all Muslim dynasties did prosecute them and some were in clear violation of the Shariah when they either forcefully converted them or conducted non-Islamic actions against them or other Muslims as Islamic history tends to be messy with many factions popping up either to rebel against the local authority or to make up a new heresy.
wow actually not long ago at all, such a shame
@@hishamalaker491 lol " Fellow Jews" is an oxymoron, since the Samaritans weren't Jews when they were persecuted by some of the Hasmoneans. Like most people, you don't understand that while all Jews are Israelite, all Israelites are not Jews. The Samaritans are a brother ethno-religion to Judaism and its adherents/members.
Secondly, the Muslims of Shekhem a.k.a. Nablous were intent on committing genocide against the remaining Samaritans in 1841 and the only thing that saved them was the intervention of one of Jerusalem's chief rabbis, who granted them a certificate to show Muslims, claiming they were "a branch of the Children of Israel" who "conceded the Torah's veracity". This is just is plainly inexcusable, regardless of the excuses raised to save face for Muslims and their religion -- especially taking into account that the Palis and their supporters relentlessly insist on the *lie* that there was blissful peace between everyone in "Palestine" since AD 638 until "the Zionists" came in 1881 and upset this serene existence.
Sounds about right.
The Levant has long been a crossroads repeatedly invaded by foreigners (albeit often on the way to some bigger prize), so it's hardly surprising that there has been some admixture over time. But it's also not surprising that there doesn’t appear to have been any wholesale population replacement during the Holocene either: this is the observed pattern throughout all of southern Europe, the Fertile Crescent, Iranian Plateau and the Indian Subcontinent (northern Europe is the odd man out in this regard).
It's also not surprising that most of the admixture has been with neighbouring populations long ago - particularly among those whose ancestors never left the region.
That the populations in that part of the world who self-identify as "Palestinians" are closer to the ancient Israelites (and their Samaritan stand-ins) is also no surprise - nor is the fact than "northern Palestinians" (i.e. those inhabiting what was once the Iron Age Kingdom of Israel, along with the Samaritans themselves) are SLIGHTLY closer to them than those "southern" ones in what was once Iron Age Judah.
Finally, given that many modern Jewish populations lived for centuries in diaspora communities (i.e. alongside non-Levantine peoples often at some distance from the NW Semitic heatlands), it's not surprising that - in spite of a relatively strong pattern of endogamy - they have somewhat more (and more distant) genetic admixture than Palestinians and (especially) Samaritans.
But as the video points out, genetics has bugger-all to do with cultural identity and with the justice of aggressively pursuing historical claims to the lands of the southern Levant in the present day.
Fundamentalists (on various sides) are all too ready to use genetics as a weapon to wield against other people - on the whole VERY SIMILAR people, in fact, given how small human genetic variation is all around the WORLD (let alone the small subset of humanity that can trace its ancestors back to a particularly tiny sliver of land at a particular period in time) compared to virtually every other widespread species...
There's *lots* of pretending going on about the Samaritans, that ignores that they've heavily intermixed with Jews for the past 100 years and Slavs over the last 2 decades.
When and if the Samaritans allow the publication of DNA results that *truly* reflect their genetic diversity, the results will end all this PC and Orientalist tinged pretending, except for the most obstinate of antisemites.
As far as the Palis go, more than 97% of them, the Muslims, are rather genetically mixed relative to their Christian peers, the majority of whom being 40-70% Levantine -- not genetically superior overall to the Israeli Jews, considering many Ashkenazi Jews are above 40% Levantine (before mentioning the rest of western Asia) and *AJs are less than 40% of Israeli Jews in total.* Mizrahi Jews can hold their ground in the 70+% Levantine zone.
@@ZviJ1Bollocks. We have the genetic distance of modern population to ancient Israelites. This video is literally a breakdown of the principle components. U can literally look up the genetic distance 😜
Except you "forgot" to mention that the Y-chromosomal markers that lead you to conclude Samaritans are descendants of Aaron, are the exact same Y-chromosomal markers on Jews with the last name Cohen or some variant. Which is how you came to that conclusion in the first place.

@@EM-tx3ly j1 ysc, 76
Well, the irony in this is that the Samaritan priests themselves aren't members of the Semitic lineages J2 and J1, but of E-M78... which is a native Egyptian lineage.
Good video and analysis, however, using only two genetic samples is not sufficient to draw overall conclusions from. Your analysis of two ancient genomes can only apply to the genetic lineage of those two ancient genomes and not a broader conclusion about the genetic origins of the Jewish people. You need a much larger sample size.
What about Ashkenazi Jews? Yes, they aren't Jews conclusion. From your analysis, they aren't from ancient Israelites
I take serious issue with using the Samaritans as place holders for the ancient Israelite population. This is because despite being endogenous it is almost certain that there much have been some intermarriage with non Samaritan populations as did happen with Jews. tis not to say that Palestinians aren’t indigenous or descendants of Israelites but it makes Jews look less indigenous than they are. The genetic closeness charts for the ancient Israelite population are available on Illustrativedna and the order of relatedness to the population is roughly 1. Lebanese Christian 2. Palestinian/Jordanian Christian 3. Lebanese Shia. 4. Mizrahi Jews 5. Palestinian Muslims. 6. Ashkenaz. Utilizing the Samaritan as a place holder despite them still being relatively far from the ancient Israelites, makes Mizrahim look not related at all to ancient Israelites.
The Jews in the colonial state of Israel are not indigenous just accept that
The resistance have the right to take the land back
Exactly. It was a big oversight not to point that out. Also, he fails to mention that both ancient samples come from the north (Abel Beth Maacah and Megiddo), which were part of ancient Israel, not Judah-the actual place of origin of Jews. I understand the practicality and convenience in presenting the facts this way, given the limited available samples and the absence of samples from Judah. However, he should have waited for new samples before making such claims or been clearer with what he was presenting. It's a shame, since it's a very interesting topic to say the least.

Well the rest are pretty much descended of local Levantines who converted to Islam and Christianity. The Negev area was very much like Jordan a very Bedouin area connected to the Arabian peninsula
This has been explained in the previous video about Palestinian genetics
That’s not true. Southern Palestinians are predominantly Canaanite ancestry, there is just more southern ancestry in them than Palestinians in the north. But that southern ancestry is not necessarily in the form of direct ancestry from Bedouin tribes in the last 1400 years. If you break down the components in the two Iron Age samples in this video (as I have done), the one from Megiddo has more of a southern type bedoin-like component in it than the one from Abel Beth Maacah. It could be that southern Palestinians have more of this type of Iron Age ancestry. Of course, some may have Arabian admixture or Egyptian admixture, but I wouldn’t necessarily chalk it up to that when more tests would have to be done to see if they score enough of the more southerly Iron Age sample type DNA. He used Samaritans as a reference population for an admixture analysis in this video, he didn’t use either of the Iron Age samples for that purpose so tests would need to be done to find out.
You need to understand many Arabs also migrated to the land including the north and intermixed with the native populations which is why modern Muslim Palestinians have native DNA is their genome also
@@xplicitgoofy1015 Palestinians, including Muslim Palestinians, predominantly descend from the native people of the land. Arabian DNA is not very high in Palestinian Muslims.

@Biblical_DNA Background on the E1b1a Haplogroup:
A haplogroup is a group of alleles inherited from a single parent (i.e. either the mother or the father). E1b1a (also known as E-M2) forms part of the E-V38 haplogroup found on the human Y chromosome - making it a paternally inherited clade.
Remains found in modern day Israel were analysed and confirmed to carry this haplogroup, dating as far back as the Natufian culture - a peoples living in the Levant (Eastern Mediterranean area of Western Asia) some 14000 years ago.
Present day, the E1b1a clade is predominantly found in Western Africa, followed by Central and Southern Africa. It has also been found, to a lesser extent in Northern Africa and the Middle East. It is also present in modern populations of Mizrahi Jews, Palestinians, Druze, and Bedouins - all whom have ancestral ties to ancient Israelites.

Very good presentation. Enjoyed viewing that.
Prophet Ibrahim is of Chaldean origin, and they are a people who migrated from the Al-Ula region in the northwest of the current state of Saudi Arabia 4,500 years ago due to drought and desertification to Mesopotamia, Iraq and Syria today. He moved to the Levant and Palestine or the land of Canaan, and he married his cousin Sarah. Then from Hagar, the mother of Ismail, who lived in Mecca while his brother Isaac remained in Palestine. During the era of the Prophet Joseph, they moved to Egypt and remained there for approximately 430 years. The Children of Israel intermarried with the peoples who lived among them, and then after leaving Egypt and the wanderings, they lived around the area of Palestine. Until they invaded it and established a state, and then came the Babylonian invasion, after which they spread throughout the region and the world... and with regard to the Jews of the Arab region, including the Samra sect, they are distributed in several regions (Jews around the world are a mixture of multiple races and nationalities and are not pure in race)... and of course Some of them converted to Christianity, and some of them became Muslims. There are Palestinian families of Jewish origins, such as the Dweik, Rajoub, and others. The controversy surrounding the Jews in this time is a deception and exploitation of the Jewish religion and Jews around the world for the sake of an expansionist colonial project in the Arab region.

The Palestinians are actually the real Semites while most Zionist Israelis are not since they are Ashkenazi who descend from Gomer and Japheth (Europeans). Here’s the proof...
Genesis 10:1-3
1 “This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah's sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.”
2 “The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek and Tiras.”
3 “The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.”
Only 10 to 15 percent of Jewish people are actual middle eastern while the rest are European imposters.

Gene research from 2001 by a highly experienced immunologist found no discernable difference between Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians. The Palestinians descend from Jews who converted to Christianity and Islam later. Palestinians may speak Arabic and the majority practice an Arabian religion, but they are genetically levantines who never left the land and go back 4000 years. One researcher from Israel put the Arab genes in Palestinians at less than 5%. Either way, the Palestinians are the continuous inhabitants of the land and the indigenous people. Israelis teach their children that Palestinians are 'recent Arab migrants' to the region and this is an act of genocidal erasure of the native people. Palestinians have the most claim to the land, yet on any post about Palestinian culture you'll see Zionists show up mocking and dismissing it. Other colonial powers at least acknowledge the indigenous people as indigenous, the Israelis believe themselves to be the indigenous people and the Palestinians to be foreigners. It's like Australians trying to claim Britain in two thousand years because of their ancestry, and saying that the Brits who never left aren't native to Britain. Until Zionists rectify this fantasy, they will continue to oppress and deny Palestinian people. They must catch up with modern science and archaelogy, because it will become common knowledge eventually, and the Holocaust they are committing on the Palestinians will be even more morally indefensible. If that's even possible.
Yes, Palestinians are the native people of the land. But there is indeed discernible genetic differences between Palestinians and Middle Eastern Jews. This video showed them. Middle Eastern Jews don’t have as much of the native ancestry as the Palestinians since there are genetic differences between Middle Eastern ancestries and populations.
@@IslenoGutierrez majority of the Palestinians are middle eastern jews
Not true bcz most of those u call "palstinians" migrated from other countries in the region. As u can see all the countries here share similar DNA, so someone u call "palstinian" lived in Jordan for 3000 years and then 100 years ago migrated to Israel and u won't be able to notice
@@idonakash9169
Palestinians ARE NOT descendants of recent migrants, only some are. Majority have been living there since God knows when. A quick research will show you that the population growth that happened during mandatory palestine was mostly the result of a natural increase of Palestinian birth rates and immigration only played a minimal role in it. Also many immigrants were temporary workers.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographic_history_of_Palestine_(region)
"According to Roberto Bachi, head of the Israeli Institute of Statistics from 1949 onwards, between 1922 and 1945 there was a net Arab migration into Palestine of between 40,000 and 42,000, excluding 9,700 people who were incorporated after territorial adjustments were made to the borders in the 1920s. Based on these figures, and including those netted by the border alterations, Joseph Melzer calculates an upper boundary of 8.5% for Arab growth in the two decades, and interprets it to mean the local Palestinian community's growth was generated primarily by natural increase in birth rates, for both Muslims and Christians."
"According to a Jewish Agency survey, 77% of Palestinian population growth in Palestine between 1914 and 1938, during which the Palestinian population doubled, was due to natural increase, while 23% was due to immigration."
"The overall assessment of several British reports was that the increase in the Arab population was primarily due to natural increase."
@mariabop no, most of them are migrators it's easy to see that and they say that themselves. Their 2 most popular last name is El masri. I don't know about u but it doesn't sound native to me
Palestinians are most similar to ancient Israelites. Modern Jews are not genetically related to ancient Jews
WRONG! Palestinians are not even an ethnicity, nor a nationality, they are a political identity created by the KGB and PLO in 1964. Those claiming to be Palestinians are mostly not even from Palestine. The population was under 350,000 people for thousands of years prior to the 1860s. The population was over 750,000 people in the first British census in 1922, and nine years later was increased to over 1 million people.
Modern Jews are shown in this video to be genetically related to ancient Jews

They found two bones closely related in DNA but from different regions and times. This evidence suggests a connection, indicating that the people linked by DNA who lived in that area during those times were the Israelites.

The Ashkenazim are not Khazars; this claim has been largely debunked. If you watch this channel’s earlier video about the Ashkenazi Jews's ancestry profile, you know their ancestry is of mixed background comprising Levantine and Southern European ancestry.

This is my observation. Palestinians were the same Israelites we have read on Bible. Also Palestinians were also the Gentiles we read in the Bible. Also Palestinians are the Philistines we read in the Bible.
Jew is a religion. Judaism spread across the region.
Mizrahi Jew having close DNA is because they are middle eastern. It's same way Western Africans have closer DNA.
Same way South Europeans have closer DNA.
Same way Southeast Asians have closer DNA. Same way North Asians have closer DNA. Having a closer DNA doesn't mean you are from same land. It means you are from same region hence might have mixed through centuries of migration.
This is why this talk of Jewish DNA is nonsense. There's no such a thing as Jewish DNA. Same way there's no Christian or Muslim DNA. Yes we have Ethnic DNA.
Have you checked Yemini Jews DNA, are they different from Yemeni Muslims? Have you checked Moroccan Jew DNA are they different from morrocan Muslims? Does it mean those Yemeni Muslims and Morrocoan Muslims are from historic Palestine?
Sure, no Jewish dna,
But there is Hebrew dna.
Philistine were so called sea people that settle in what is now Gaza Strip. They had more connection to Greeks as they originated from Greece/West Anatolia. They would eventually be assimilated before 500BC. So they have no connection to Palestinian Arabs in today Israel.
there are 3 reasons to what you said (and willing to deny because it doesn't fit your thinking):
1) hosting nations had been RAPED Jewish females
2) people from outside wanted to be part of the tribe and went through learning of the way of life and culture to get accepted (not guaranty to be accepted)
3) people from inside wanted to assimilate to the local culture (which we see what such assimilation did to the Indigenous people in America continent)
You menshed the Plishtim (Polesh- invator) who are origenally from Greece; but don't let the facts confuse you and just move on...
It's crazy that the first picture you have is a Israelite with dreads and a headband on with his nose broken off so you can't tell he is black smh. If you we we not thought to skip over details we would know the Israelites of the Bible where desired as black
Lol, keep telling yourself that bud. Do you even understand how geography works? Do you even realize why you are from the nergoid race? Why Chinese people have those eyes? You realize that it has to do with geography right? Blacks come from sub saharan africa, very close to the EQUATOR. The equator is typically more humid due to the warm temperatures and the large amount of solar energy it receives. Hence why blacks look the way they look, thats where they evolved. No black person comes from the medditeranian. Please go do some research and be proud of being from west, central africa instead of going mental on some texts.
Thomas, it shouldn't matter what the Israelite look like.
I wish to point out that the original ancestors of Jewish people, Abraham and Sarah, were originally from Mesopotamia, about 4,000 years ago.
I just want to know when did Ashkenazi Europeans convert to African Hebrews
Never.

I find it very telling that at the end of the video you refrain from saying that the Israelis have less ancient Israelite blood then many Arabs do. And then if that isn't enough, you completely go against the entire premise of the video by claiming that DNA is not the whole story and that the Israeli people are really very diverse and so any definitive determination is essentially not possible. You were very certain and provided many evidences for the other ethnic groups. There is a reason why DNA testing is frowned upon in Israel. The reason being it would destroy the false Zionist narrative that the Europeans that stole the land had a right to do so because of genetic origins.
DNA testing is not frowned upon in Israel. And most Jews who take DNA tests on illustrativeDNA show Canaanite ancestry
Basically jews are cannanites who left or were expelled, palestinians are cannanites who stayed, only solution is peace ❤🙏🇮🇱🇵🇸
