If we're going to discuss genetics, I have one or two papers from universities in Israel and Arizona. I did study some of this stuff at uni but I'm a bit rusty. Are you familiar with alleles, microsatellites e.t.c. as you're going to need to be?
This, at any point, is something I found of interest:
"The priestly sect "Cohanim" (singular is Cohen) were descended directly from Aaron, the brother of Moses, all members of the Tribe of Levi. Aaron was anointed as the first High Priest (the "Cohen Gadol"). In Hammer's 1997 studies of Jewish priests, some of the markers looked at were SRY4064 (464?), SRY 465, Tat, and sY81 polymorphisms. There were 6 markers studied which are known as the Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH). [In "Y Chromosomes of Jewish Priests", it is stated that they tested for YAP+ (presence of Y Alu Polymorphic insert), YAP-, and DYS19 (known also as DYS394)]. Descendants of the Cohanim, as part of their haplotype, have YAP- and DYS19B.
Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH):
DYS388=16
DYS390=23
DYS391=10
DYS392=11
DYS393=12
DYS394=14 (also known as DYS19)"
The most common European groups are:

_______hg1_hg2_hg3

darkboong said:That's not my source, in fact it's the first time I've seen the whole article. My *original* source quoted that article Guardian and took a look at the *technical* findings of the study. Interesting to note that there is no reference whatsoever to the findings of that study being disputed in that article. The censorship was imposed on the basis of calling Settlers "Colonists" (which they arguably are), and the use of the term "Concentration Camp" for the camps outside of Israel. Which is *entirely* true, that is precisely what they are (admittedly, not of the Nazi variety, more like the British Colonial variety - which were appear to have been just as nasty in terms of death rates).
Again, you failed to challenge the findings of that study.
The Tel Aviv one conducted by Jews ?
There is no way in hell that we'll see eye to eye as long as you choose politics and censorship over science.
You should check out the credentials of the Editor : "Nicole Sucio-Foca"... Specifically that she hails from Columbia University. There is a certin chap called Daniel Pipes who has Columbia Uni in a stranglehold, he is a close friend of Melanie P's no less. You might wish to check out some of his other handywork at Columbia University. It is a small world...
For my money that article was pulled for political reasons, not because the genetic research was shown to be false. It's up to you to find technical rebuttals.
