I just wanted to jump in and say that theses studies are going on and
you can find results if you search around. SOme would say that the
studies are politicized, but at least two show that the Jews,
regardless of being Sephardic or Ashkenzi have more in common with
each other (and the Kurds) than they do with the Palestinians who
have more in common with the Arabs (meaning peoples of the Arabian
peninsula).

I'm sure there are studies which also show what Kraig said, and
then there are those that try to show "who are the true heirs to
the Canaanites".

All of these, as well has archeological excavations etc, just
continue to provide fodder for the "we deserve it all because
we were here first" crowd.

Why can't we all just live together?
