Boy.. you had to plunge mighty deeply up your @ss to pull that one out.
In an ethnic sense, an Ashkenazi Jew is one whose ancestry can be traced to the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe. For roughly a thousand years, the Ashkenazim were a reproductively isolated population in Europe, despite living in many countries, with little inflow or outflow from migration, conversion, or intermarriage with other groups, including other Jews. Human geneticists have identified genetic variations that have high frequencies among Ashkenazi Jews, but not in the general European population. This is true for patrilineal markers (Y-chromosome haplotypes) as well as for matrilineal markers (mitochondrial haplotypes).[12]
However, many Ashkenazi Jews identify themselves more by religion than by race.
Since the middle of the 20th century, many Ashkenazi Jews have intermarried, both with members of other Jewish communities and with people of other nations and faiths, while some Jews have also adopted children from other ethnic groups or parts of the world and raised them as Jews. Conversion to Judaism, rare for nearly 2,000 years, has become more common. Jewish women and families who choose artificial insemination often choose a biological father who is not Jewish, to avoid common autosomal recessive genetic diseases.
Now you're going to tell us the Palestinians are really the Philistines, right?
Tell us how deeply up your a$$ did you plunge to pull that one. Don't be silly. Ask Nadine.
Btw, the US WFP just stopped feeding 1 million people in Somalia because of Islamic Militants.
Is that our fault too?
I do not know, it all depends how much pressure the US had put on the UN. |
