DNA from the Bible's Canaanites lives on in Arabs and Jews

Post Reply New Topic

Among Ashkenazi - Y DNA points to the Levant, but mitochondrial points to "southern Europe" ( even among those of the group who live in Russia).

That according to Wiki.
.

Presumably autosomal. Though it's important to note that if the mother is an Ashekenazi Jewess, the child must be at least part Jewish. Since there's no denying whom the mother is, that was the litmus test for traditionally recognizing the child as Jewish (in an age before modern DNA paternity testing).

Ok I see...are they French though?

There is a well known bias among Israelis of European origin against non-European Jews so they (ironically) carry the same biases.

I am merely pointing out they inherited the same phenotypic biases that Whiteys hold.

If you look at my post, the first thing I said was “supposedly.” I have no skin in that game because, first, my theology doesn’t require me to believe I have to have some genetic link to ancient Israel, and second, I’m not a racist. I mean, look...if you go by Biblical evidence, the fact that the northern tribes were disinherited does not bode well for the CI argument that they are superior or have some claim to the Holy Land. It certainly doesn’t work to support any anti-Semitic view. So, no, I’m not interested in wasting time I don’t have researching it.

What does fascinate me, and what I’d like to know and may eventually look into is whether the Israelites really did spread throughout Europe at some point before the Babylonian captivity. The Israelites, I think, were assimilated into the Assyrian nation. I’m not aware of anything that is known beyond that. Why would it not be plausible that their descendants might have traveled as far as Germany or even Britain? And what if there happened to be objective evidence to that effect?

Bias works both ways, by the way. Just because you WANT white supremacists to be wrong about the one thing they might actually be right about doesn’t mean that they are. Many horrible things have been rationalized based on truths that would otherwise seem inconsequential. The atomic bombs dropped on Japan may actually have saved lives by quickly ending the Pacific war (truth). I sincerely doubt that residents of Hiroshima at that time were very appreciative. Just because I’m not aware of any objective evidence doesn’t mean there’s not any, nor would existence of said evidence compel you to change your mind about it.

There is a little green man who follows you around everywhere you go. He just disappears every time you turn to look at him.

You cant prove me wrong! Just because there is no evidence for him doesnt mean that he isnt there! But I have no skin in the game of arguing for it because its not my theory. I got it from a bunch of racist skinheads.

But just because I have no skin in the game, it doesnt mean that I cant ACT like I have skin in the game, and get pissed off at you when you question the existence of this little green man! And...I accuse you of doubting his existence because of your partisan bias! You wouldnt believe in my LGM even if I could produce evidence for him! And....something about the atomic bomb being dropped on Hiroshima!

Dude...what are you talking about?

You repeatedly contradict yourself (does this notion matter to you, or not?).

It sounds like you DO "want" this notion to be true. White Europeans to be all descended from ancient Israelites. And that you want Christianity to be one and the same as the White race.Turning Christianity from belief into a race is about as unchristian as you can get IMHO.

It's got nothing to do with what I'd prefer. If there was any evidence I'd be happy to consider it but since there isn't it's about as credible as lizard people dwelling inside the earth.

If there's objective evidence supporting the idea it's worth considering. If there isn't it really isn't. Please provide some if you're aware of some, if not please stop acting like my skepticism of the unsubstantiated claim is unreasonable.

Very unlikely there was ever substantial populations of jews in Europe in ancient times. Individual Jewish traders may have travelled via Roman ports and traded with Celtic Britain or Gaul and they might have established trading communities but we are talking AD not BC.

Prior to the Romans the tribal Europeans would have not taken kindly to outsiders and likely sacrificed them in a wicker man or stewed them in a pot.

The notion of "the Christian Identity Movement" is not only racist and Anti-Semitic, but is also entirely fictitious. There is zero evidence of Israelites spreading into northern Europe to become the forebears of Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic, Nordic, and Celtic peoples. And on the contrary, there is a wealth of evidence that proves that such a notion is impossible.
Now, is it at all possible that modern day Christians have some sort of genetic connection to ancient Israel? Of course there is - the first Christians, having been ethnic Judeans, had been deported to the farthest reaches of the Roman Empire in the 1st century A.D, along with those who practiced Judaism. Those Judean Christians ended up becoming absorbed into the Gentile Christian communities. But to say that the white race are the "Chosen People," which the white nationalists believe, is total BS. And in fact, as the Apostle Paul had maintained, there is no distinction between Jews and Gentiles in Christ, so what does any such claim matter to real believers?

Christianity was never an ethno-religious group.

It is too large and spread too fast to be one! Come on. Even the Vikings became Christians.

Alas this was never true

Of course, but I was specifically meaning Christians of European and Middle Eastern stock.

Let's face it. European christendom was ethno-religious for about 500 years following the renaissance. It wasn't just the mormons, everyone believed heaven was only mean't for white catholic or white protestant people.

This only shows how people imagine God looks like; it has nothing to do with what I said.

That only if you consider all whites/caucasians as same ethnicity.

And....While I'm at it the Arabs also imagine that the all powerful god in heaven is male and speaks Arabic

Ethnocentrism also infects religious bigotry.
