New Genetic Study Confirms Racial Basis of Judaism

Yet another genetic study—this time published in the journal Nature Communications—has confirmed what informedobservers have long known—that Ashkenazi (or “European Jews”) have a common heritage with Sephardic Jewsand that together they form a unified group.

The latest study also confirms once again that the “Khazar” theory is very likely untrue, and that the vast majority ofthe non-Jewish genetic make-up of Ashkenazim Jews is European in origin, and not from the ill-defined “KhazarEmpire.”

The study, produced by Shai Carmi, a computer science professor at Columbia University, and more than 20mdedical researchers from Yale, Columbia, Yeshiva University’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine, MemorialSloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Hebrew University of Jerusalem and other institutions concluded that all AshkenaziJews can trace their ancestry to a “bottleneck” of just 350 individuals.

According to the report, the researchers analyzed the genomes of 128 Ashkenazi Jews and compared them to thoseof non-Jewish Europeans in order to determine which genetic markers are unique to Ashkenazi Jews.

They found that the Ashkenazi Jews’ genetic similarities were so acute that one of the study’s researchers,Columbia professor Itsik Pe’er, told the Live Science website that among Ashkenazi Jews, “everyone is a 30thcousin.”

Until now, data has only been available for a small subset of common Ashkenazi DNA markers—about one in every3,000 letters of DNA.

The study found that Ashkenazi Jews are known to have origins in the Levant, which, the Times of Israel boasted, is“smack dab in the middle of Israel.”

“An analysis of the gene database shows that the original Ashkenazi Jews were about half European andhalf Middle Eastern,” the report continued.

“Our analysis shows that Ashkenazi Jewish medieval founders were ethnically admixed, with origins inEurope and in the Middle East, roughly in equal parts,” said Shai Carmi, a post-doctoral scientist whoconducted the analysis.

“[The] data are more comprehensive than what was previously available, and we believe the data settle thedispute regarding European and Middle Eastern ancestry in Ashkenazi Jews.”

The findings add to an already long list of similar studies, all of which confirm the genetic basis of Judaism andwhich refute the “Khazar theory,” which this website pointed out a while ago in Rethinking the Khazar Theory !

Furthermore, it is equally clear that those Jews who successfully assimilate and “stop being Jewish” are those whohave the highest European (and non-Jewish) input—and are therefore most likely to reject the ideology of JewishSupremacism.

. In fact, the study of behavioral or evolutionary genetics has shown that many personality traits can be inherited justas hair or eye color can be. The strict, and diligently separated Judaic communities of Europe and around the worldhad an enormous impact on their genetic similarity.

Here is a quote with the source.

More importantly, some Jewish researchers see a degree of intermarriage as having a functional value in Gentileenvironments. Mark Zborowski and Elizabeth Herzog say that it serves as a bridge to the Gentile community, butone that does not threaten the Jewish core.

The peripheral area which serves as a bridge to the surrounding cultures fills several functions. It is anavenue to invasion, a buffer and a source of renewed vigor. Each impact that chips at the outer edge mayserve simultaneously to strengthen the core. ( Zborowski, M., & Herzog, E. (1952). Life Is With People: TheJewish Little-Town of Eastern Europe. New York: International Universities Press.)

So, those Jews who rejected Jewish tribalism, personality traits and who attracted to the aesthetic and values of thesurrounding peoples were more likely to leave the Jewish community. Once they crossed over, the Jewishcommunity completely cut them off, and thus the genetic core of the Jewish people became more reflective theclassic “Jewish character.”

Postscript: It is common to hear people blame Jewish racism and tribalism on the Ashkenazim. But the truth is thatSephardics wrote the extremely racist Talmud. The truth is that Israel is 45 percent Sephardic and 55 percentAshkenazi. They all share a genetic subset of Jewishness, with some difference from upward of 2000 years ofseparation, however there is a lot of evidence of intermarriage between these Jewish groups over the same period.

In terms of world Jewry, both Ashkenazi and Sephardi are in every major Jewish organization, together. No peopleon earth are more networked, and more tribalist with more organizations working for what they see as Jewishinterests, the Jewish agenda and against assimilation with Gentiles.

The Sephardim in Israel are generally even more racist and extreme than the Ashekenazi and one can just look atthe anti-Gentile pronouncements of the head Sephardic rabbis to document this.

They see it as an advantage for the Gentile world to see Jews as a simply a segment of the Jews such as Ashkenazirather than understanding that Jews are united in their organizations and agenda across the world, and theseorganizations are both Sephardic and Ashkenazi.
