The Jews have a very long history of cultural cohesion, despite genetic diversity.

Thanks, but I think you mean "despite cultural diversity".

Israeli scientists have been doing genetic tests that show that Jews are not all that genetically diverse, still clearly show the marks of Middle Eastern origin (yes, even European Jews), and in terms of other populations are most closely related to the Kurds. They even found a genetic marker for being a Cohen which correlates with descending from a common male ancestor who lived 3,000 - 5,000 years ago.

Remember that the geneticists say that racial differences are quite superficial.
