-Caveat Lector-
I dont know why anyone would find this surprising
all it means it that there were ALWAYS Jews living in the region, and they
are not invaders from somewhere else.

Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when
the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally
alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest
dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal,
well-meaning but without understanding.

>> Paper Showing Jews/Palestinians Are Almost Genetic Identicals Axed
>> By Robin McKie
>> Science Editor
>> The Observer - London
>> 11-26-1
>>
>> A keynote research paper showing that Middle Eastern Jews and
>> Palestinians
>> are genetically almost identical has been pulled from a
>> leading journal.
>> Academics who have already received copies of Human
>> Immunology have been
>> urged to rip out the offending pages and throw them away.
>> Such a drastic
>> act of self-censorship is unprecedented in research
>> publishing and has
>> created widespread disquiet, generating fears that it may involve the
>> suppression of scientific work that questions Biblical dogma. 'I have
>> authored several hundred scientific papers, some for Nature
>> and Science,
>> and this has never happened to me before,' said the article's
>> lead author,
>> Spanish geneticist Professor Antonio Arnaiz-Villena, of Complutense
>> University in Madrid. 'I am stunned.' British geneticist Sir
>> Walter Bodmer
>> added: 'If the journal didn't like the paper, they shouldn't
>> have published
>> it in the first place. Why wait until it has appeared before
>> acting like
>> this?' The journal's editor, Nicole Sucio-Foca, of Columbia
>> University, New
>> York, claims the article provoked such a welter of complaints
>> over its
>> extreme political writing that she was forced to repudiate
>> it. The article
>> has been removed from Human Immunology's website, while
>> letters have been
>> written to libraries and universities throughout the world
>> asking them to
>> ignore or 'preferably to physically remove the relevant pages'.
>> Arnaiz-Villena has been sacked from the journal's editorial
>> board. Dolly
>> Tyan, president of the American Society of Histocompatibility and
>> Immunogenetics, which runs the journal, told subscribers that
>> the society
>> is 'offended and embarrassed'. The paper, 'The Origin of
>> Palestinians and
>> their Genetic Relatedness with other Mediterranean
>> Populations', involved
>> studying genetic variations in immune system genes among
>> people in the
>> Middle East. In common with earlier studies, the team found
>> no data to
>> support the idea that Jewish people were genetically distinct
>> from other
>> people in the region. In doing so, the team's research
>> challenges claims
>> that Jews are a special, chosen people and that Judaism can only be
>> inherited. Jews and Palestinians in the Middle East share a
>> very similar
>> gene pool and must be considered closely related and not genetically
>> separate, the authors state. Rivalry between the two races is
>> therefore
>> based 'in cultural and religious, but not in genetic
>> differences', they
>> conclude. But the journal, having accepted the paper earlier
>> this year, now
>> claims the article was politically biased and was written using
>> 'inappropriate' remarks about the Israeli-Palestinian
>> conflict. Its editor
>> told the journal Nature last week that she was threatened by mass
>> resignations from members if she did not retract the article.
>> Arnaiz-Villena says he has not seen a single one of the
>> accusations made
>> against him, despite being promised the opportunity to look
>> at the letters
>> sent to the journal. He accepts he used terms in the article
>> that laid him
>> open to criticism. There is one reference to Jewish
>> 'colonists' living in
>> the Gaza strip, and another that refers to Palestinian people
>> living in
>> 'concentration' camps. 'Perhaps I should have used the words settlers
>> instead of colonists, but really, what is the difference?' he
>> said. 'And
>> clearly, I should have said refugee, not concentration,
>> camps, but given
>> that I was referring to settlements outside of Israel - in Syria and
>> Lebanon - that scarcely makes me anti-Jewish. References to
>> the history of
>> the region, the ones that are supposed to be politically
>> offensive, were
>> taken from the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and other text
>> books.' In the wake
>> of the journal's actions, and claims of mass protests about
>> the article,
>> several scientists have now written to the society to support
>> Arnaiz-Villena and to protest about their heavy-handedness.
>> One of them
>> said: 'If Arnaiz-Villena had found evidence that Jewish people were
>> genetically very special, instead of ordinary, you can be
>> sure no one would
>> have objected to the phrases he used in his article. This is
>> a very sad
>> business.'
