Elder of Ziyon
It started going viral today; as of this writing it has been viewed over 210,000 times with hundreds more every minute.
As with many truth bombs, it is driving the antisemites crazy. Their responses are quite illuminating.
Many are saying that DNA proves that Jews aren't really Jews and Palestinians are the only indigenous people of the region (and some say that most Palestinians are descended from Jews.)
Of course, reputable DNA studies consistently prove that Jews are descended from the region. As far as Palestinians go, I have not looked closely at the studies that say they descended from the Levant to see how they chose their samples, but a significant number of Palestinians proudly trace their origins to elsewhere, especially the Arabian peninsula. In fact, a Palestinian project "Howiyya" ("Identity") that started in 2010 has been trying to identify the origins of Palestinian families and readily admits the claims that many Palestinian clans came from elsewhere is true:
According to Yasser Qaddoura, the project director, preserving Palestinian family trees is part of an identity battle aimed at refuting the Zionist narrative that Palestine was a “land without a people.”Qaddoura explains that the occupation has always tried to cast doubt on the Palestinians’ affiliation by claiming that their family names (such as Al-Masry, Al-Baghdadi, Al-Beiruti, etc.) indicate their origins in neighboring countries.The occupation forgets that these migrations were natural throughout history, and that the Palestinian people, like the rest of the world’s peoples, are made up of individuals who moved due to economic, political, or social circumstances.
The only group of Palestinian families I've seen that consistently traced themselves back to the region are Christians. Who converted from - well, you know.
Speaking of DNA, a surprising number of people claimed that Israel bans DNA testing because Zionists are afraid that they will find out they were really Khazars or otherwise not original Jews.
This is another lie that is based on a grain of truth. Israel does regulate DNA testing for privacy purposes but any Israeli who wants can easily buy a DNA test online.
A number of Muslims are saying that Moses and Abraham were Muslim, insisting I study history. Their "history book" is, of course, the Quran.
Another antisemitic response shared by many is people pointing out that the coin isn't round, and they are amused that Jews are guilty of "clipping" or shaving the sides of coins to steal gold and silver.
Coin clipping is real. Associating it specifically with Jews is an antisemitic trope.
The English accused Jews of the practice in the 13th century, sentencing 300 Jews to death and seizing their assets.
I had no idea that this libel was still around. Amazing what you can learn by posting something that upsets antisemites. Not quite as amazing is how these people who claim to care about human rights are so quick to spread a libel that was used to justify the murder of many Jews.
Then there are the people who tacitly admit that Jews really are indigenous but move the goalposts by saying variants of "So does this give you the right to (murder, rape, bomb) children?"
If you want to talk about Israel's war practices and why they are moral, I have plenty of articles about that. But the truth is obviously not what these people are interested in.
