1) The fact that this story has not broken into wider reporting demonstrates that it is not legitimate, in my opinion.

2) I doubt that any person intelligent enough and capable of gene sequencing would be dumb enough to think he could turn up a gene which Arabs share but semitic Jews don't. Koestler's story is intriguing, and may explain blond, blue-eyed Jews in Europe and its former colonies, but there are many semitic Jews, especially in the Middle East.

3) I stick by my position that Mahnaimi looks like an operative.

I do appreciate your effort in finding the link. That is real scholarship.
