Jews can—and in Israel, are—identified by DNA and their “genetic line”, one of the Zionist state’s leading newspapers has confirmed—directly contradicting claims by Jewish Supremacists to the contrary.
In an article titled “The lost sheep of the house of Israel,” the Times of Israel, which is based in Jerusalem, the topic of the identifiable DNA base of Judaism is casually mentioned when discussing the claims of a small group of Africans to be Jewish.
The Times of Israel was founded by David Horovitz, formerly of The Jerusalem Post and The Jerusalem Report. Horovitz also acts as its chief editor, while the former Haaretz English Edition editor Joshua Davidovich serves as news editor. It claims to be one of the largest English-language online Jewish newspapers in the world, but has a readership almost exclusively made up of Jews.
The article in question deals with the unusual story of the “African Hebrew Israelites”—a number of Africans who in the 1960s, moved from Chicago to Liberia. At some stage, these people—numbering only a few hundred—decided that they were a “lost tribe of Israel” and moved to Israel in 1969.
The Zionist state was—not unexpectedly—very unhappy with the arrival of these self-defined Jews, and the very next year changed the “law of Return” (which gives all Jews the right of residence in Israel) to read that all immigrants had to prove at least one Jewish grandparent.
As the Times of Israel article says:
“The African Hebrew Israelites have lived in Dimona for three generations, claiming their history brought them back to this land. Members of the tribe? Israel is not convinced.
“…[I]n 1969, the first handful of African Hebrews decided their education in Liberia was complete and it was time to go to Israel. Others soon followed, invoking the Law of Return and their identification as Jews in order to gain citizenship.
“In 1970, however, when the Law of Return was amended to include the requirement of one Jewish grandparent in order for an immigrant to claim status as a Jew, the group saw their rights vanish.”
Those who had managed to enter Israel prior to the 1970 amendment, have had a precarious existence legally ever since, and have congregated in an autonomous commune in Dimona the Negev desert—as isolated as the Israeli nuclear weapons manufacturing and storage facitliy which is in the same town.
The Times of Israel explains further:
“Today, the number of African Hebrew Israelites in Israel stands at around 3,000 . . . Some have successfully petitioned for and received Israeli citizenship, others live as permanent residents, and some – especially the youngest generation, whose parents were born in Israel and therefore cannot pass on their American citizenship to their children – have no passport at all.”
Then the Times of Israel causally makes the admission that Jews who want to prove their right to Israel can do it through DNA testing:
“They could have fought for DNA testing, or attempted to trace their genetic lines to offer concrete proof of their stake in the Jewish story.”
This statement—which is reflected in official Israeli policy—is confirmation once again that Jewish Supremacist claims that Judaism is “only a religion” are just more misdirection, aimed at providing a smokescreen for their activities in other nations, all the while retaining a fanatic single loyalty to their own racial group.
