DNA Links Prove Jews Are A ‘Race,' Says Genetics Expert

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Conjuring fear of Nazism and anti-Semitism, Jews recoil from the thought that Judaism might be a race, but medical geneticist Harry Ostrer insists the ‘biological basis of Jewishness’ cannot be ignored.

 

In his new book, “Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People,” Harry Ostrer, a medical geneticist and professor at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, claims that Jews are different, and the differences are not just skin deep. Jews exhibit, he writes, a distinctive genetic signature. Considering that the Nazis tried to exterminate Jews based on their supposed racial distinctiveness, such a conclusion might be a cause for concern. But Ostrer sees it as central to Jewish identity.

“Who is a Jew?” has been a poignant question for Jews throughout our history. It evokes a complex tapestry of Jewish identity made up of different strains of religious beliefs, cultural practices and blood ties to ancient Palestine and modern Israel. But the question, with its echoes of genetic determinism, also has a dark side.

      “The majority of the Ashkenazi Jewish population, as Koestler, and now Sand, writes, are not the children of Abraham but descendants of pagan Eastern Europeans and Eurasians, concentrated mostly in the ancient Kingdom of Khazaria in what is now Ukraine and Western Russia.”

      folks are slapping “scientist” under just about any verbal diarrhea, folks like scientists.

      that would mean that a large portion of palestinians are actually jewish. could that be with the khazars are killing them?

    • Don't be hating!

      Blaa Blaa..They are all human just like everyone else in this planet. Jews are the same as the person next to you..We are all ONE!

      Looks like i am Racist after all then, Oh dear!

      No WE are not ALL ONE! Fact is the shadow world government wanting to enslave mankind – whose religion says it’s OK to kill Christians (see the Talmud) – are as evil as the come – think Roth’s and Rock’s & check these sites:

      There was no 13th tribe of Israelites and the twelve tribes that did disperse eventually wandered mostly north and west. E.G. – tribe of Dan – think DANube, LonDON, etc. Abraham’s grandsons Ephiram and Mannaseh received a double-portion of the birthright of the Covenant and presently reside mostly in the USA and England – the land of “unwalled cities.”

      Here’s another shot to get the sites in:

      They lie, cheat, steal and murder for power and they are inspired by the dark side. I’m not a racist, I’m a light-bearer who seeks to drive this darkness from humanity.

      You can find the sites on my profile

      you know you are right, we are all one, and that cult called judaism needs to be dealt with. however god made us all with the same potential to blessed or cursed. the choice is ours.

      Of course they’re a “race”. They’re a race of vipers, just as Yahshua said.
