• Anti-Semitism and criticism of brutal Israeli war crimes: A methodological challenge for the truth
• The myth of Anti-Semitism between methodological claims and debunking myths about Jews
• Palestinians and Arabs are the true Semites
• The Real Semites and Ancient Hebrews Converted to Islam

After the international criminal court has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu, and his former defense minister Gallant for the genocide and war crimes in Gaza, Netanyahu immediately denounced the decision as 'anti-Semitic'.

Definition of Anti-Semitism

Linguistically, the term Semitic is a technical term used to describe a language group. The Semitic languages include Arabic, Hebrew, and other languages such as Aramaic. The term "Semitic people" or "Semites" refers to a group of people who speak or spoke Semitic languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew.

The real Semitic people   

Consequently, the real Semitic people are the Arabs and the real Hebrew people who didn't mix with black and white. 

Misusing anti-Semitism

Unfortunately, the definition of anti-Semitism is being “misused” nowadays deliberately to prevent bringing Israel to justice, and to protect it from legitimate criticism. Although criticism of Israel and anti-Zionism is always motivated by other factors, such as a peace orientation and/or human rights considerations, but the word “anti-Semitism” has often been used to wrongly label any tiny tentative criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic, and in most cases suppress nonviolent protests, activists and speech critical of Israel and/or Zionism. The Zionist controlled western propaganda misleadingly uses this term, in a political way, to refer to the hatred of Jews, which is absolutely not correct. 

Israel's Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing

And Under the umbrella of anti-Semitism, the brutal Israeli military machine continues its genocide and ethnic cleansing at an unprecedented level against unarmed defenseless people (the Palestinian people in Gaza), the Israeli war criminals brutally and illegally kill, slaughter, burn people alive, with the partnership and compliance of the United States and western governments, and institutions, backed up by western propaganda that distorts realities, keep the truth away from its own people, and even with the compliance of some segments of the western public. 

Among the false reasons for this criminal partnership in the genocide and complicity in the war crimes or compliance, is the misleading idea of anti-Semitism, and the victimization of the Jews, that is based on the methodological claims that the Jews were expelled after the Romans' destruction of the second temple in 70 AD. They claim that they lived in exile in various countries for many centuries, and returned to their homeland in Palestine.

In this article, we will not argue whether those Israeli claims are true or not, we will not exert any efforts to refute them, but we will direct some questions:

Are the current Jews who came from eastern European and western countries and occupied Palestinian lands, and called Israelis, are they the children of Canaanites? Are they the children of ancient Israelis? What do genetic studies say about that?

Genetic Studies on Israeli Jews

Scientific Studies proved that most of Israelis Jews particularly those identifying as Ashkenazi, can trace their ancestry back to Eastern Europe

Many recent and old studies have proved that at least the maternal lineage of the Ashkenazi Jews derives largely from Europe. Multiple genetic studies have confirmed that Palestinians and Arabs are considered the real Semitic, as their genetic profile shows a close relationship to other Semitic populations in the Middle East, particularly the pure Jews, indicating a shared ancestry stemming from the ancient Canaanites.

The findings seem intuitive, and refute the notion that European Jews mostly descend from people who left Israel and the Middle East around 2,000 years ago. Instead, a substantial proportion of the population originates from local Europeans who converted to Judaism, said a study by Martin Richards, an archaeogeneticist at the University of Huddersfield in England.

80% Ashkenazi mtDNA linked to Europe not Mideast

Moreover, the origins of Ashkenazi Jews remain highly controversial; Like Judaism, mitochondrial DNA is passed along the maternal line. Several studies confirmed that 80% of Ashkenazi mtDNA variation, have ancestry in prehistoric Europe, rather than the Near East or Caucasus. Consequently, the great majority of Ashkenazi maternal lineages were not brought from the Levant, as commonly supposed, nor recruited in the Caucasus, as sometimes suggested, but assimilated within Europe. These results point to a prominent role for the conversion of women to Judaism in the formation of Ashkenazi communities, and thus provide the foundation for a detailed reconstruction of Ashkenazi genealogical history.

Also Eran Elhaik, who is an Israeli scientist, and researcher at Johns Hopkins, in 2003, debunked the “Khazarian hypothesis, he proved that most Jews trace their seminal ancestry not to the Middle East but to the Caucuses and Eastern Europe. Elhaik gave evidence that the Khazars converted to Judaism in the eighth century.

The Thirteenth Tribe

Another noteworthy evidence, is the book of Arthur Koestler titled The Thirteenth Tribe, that provides evidences that Ashkenazis descend not from the Middle East  but, rather, from Khazaria, a medieval Turkic empire in the Causasus region whose royals converted to Judaism because of political reasons. All these proofs implies that Ashkenazis, who constitute half of Israel's current population, are occupiers, colonialist settlers with zero historical claim to the land of Palestine.

Arab Palestinians are Real Ancient Hebrews Converted to Islam

On the other hand, some other DNA studies found that Israeli and Palestinian Arabs share a substantial amount of genetic material with pure Israeli Jews. According to a detailed article published on Wikipedia titled: "History of Palestine"; several studies concluded that part, or perhaps the majority" of Muslim Palestinians are descended from local inhabitants who converted to Christianity then later on, converted to Islam after the Islamic conquest,

Also several studies conducted in the USA and different western universities revealed that Palestinians are genetically very close to pure Jews and other Middle East populations, including Turks (Anatolians), Lebanese, Egyptians, Armenians, and Iranians. Archaeologic and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian peoples in ancient times.

Arabs are the real Semites  

Between this and that, the undeniable truth is that the Arabs are more Semites than the Jews who are mixed with eastern Europeans, Ukrainians, Russians, Polish and Africans. Arabs Muslims and Christians are the true descendants of the Canaanites, and the real Semites. Moreover, the majority of Hebrews in Palestine converted to Islam in the past 1300 years.

So Palestinians are strongly rooted in the land of Palestine because their connection with the land is not industrial, not fabricated, or mechanical. They do not have a Plan B, to go back to another homeland. They are resisting their occupier by every means they have.

 From all what has been mentioned above, it is clear that the Israelis are being anti-Semitic to a true Semitic people, who are the Palestinian Arabs.

Beyond any doubt, Israel will not win, the ongoing genocide in Gaza has proved that. Only blind hearted and shortsighted people fail to see the truth.
