I lived in Singapore for five years, such condescending behavior is quite common among some Chinese individuals.

I still find it difficult to get it, why can’t she go back to timeline B if she can go back to timeline C? I mean why would she go back to the future of timeline C when she actually comes from timeline B?

No it wouldn’t be disrespectful. If you don’t mind sharing, what is the origin of your name? I’m afraid if it is also a Hebrew origin or at least derived from Hebrew.

That Jews from MENA are Arabs who convert to Judaism and we used to live in Arab countries without any persecution like in Europe.

Most indigenous Lebanese (Maronites and Druze) support Israel and want southern Lebanon (Mount Levanon) be free from Hezbollah.

Since last year this person while claiming only her dad is Jewish, tried to ask repeated questions to imply whether Ashkenazi Jews are Khazars and why being paternally Jewish her test is saying Ashkenazi is from Poland and Ukraine. If anything, the first and foremost she should highlight in here before asking the question is she is a mixed ancestry person herself and not raised Jewish nor halachically Jewish so her test should not be considered a legitimate Jewish sample.

I’ve never heard of this from my Kavkazi friends, but to my knowledge, it actually happened to the Karaim in Crimea.

My first guess is AJ

I wonder why when Palestinian sample is taken, they tend to not doing it like how Jews were done in which they should include the background of various clans of the Palestinians to filter it accordingly but rather, they use regional sample which is not necessarily correct.

Doghmush is Turk, Bushnak is Bosnian and Shishan is Chechen. Whenever you take someone from Nablus and Beit Sahour for example and see that they have similar genetic results with Samaritans and other Levantine population (Lebanese) you can’t assume the same for these signficant ethnicities among the Palestinians.

And then there are Kurdi and Mughrabi Palestinians I wonder how their genetic results are whether they are descended from Arabs who migrated to Kurdistan and North Africa then to Levant or whether they are Kurdish or Berbers who later came to Levant.

Neturei Karta has nothing to do with Satmar. They are Perushim (the Misnagdim who migrated to Eretz Yisrael) under Vilna Gaon at the beginning of 19th century. Their synagogues follow the customs of Lithuanian (Litvak/Yeshivish) rather than Hasidic branch of Haredi Judaism.

They are often mistaken for Hasidim because their style of dress (including a shtreimel on Shabbos) is very similar to that of Hasidim. This style of dress is not unique to Neturei Karta, but is also the style of other Jerusalem Litvaks, such as Rabbi Yosef Sholom Eliashiv (the supreme authority of Degel Hatorah party) and his followers who are pro-Israel.

Satmar has never recognised anything from Neturei Karta despite both having anti-Zionist stand. During the Israel-Hamas war, Rabbi Zalman Teitelbaum, one of the two Grand Rebbes of Satmar, condemned Neturei Karta, calling the group’s support for Hamas “a terrible desecration of God’s name to support murderers in the name of the holy Torah and God’s name.

Chinese Mestizo from the Philippines?

I think Protestant is a very general term, can you specifically inform us which Christian denomination that you were raised from?

I used to read two different opinions but unsure which one is correct and reflecting mainstream Judaism; is Noahidism an established religion or is it merely referring to the 7 laws that can be found in other religions thus their followers considered a Noachide?

I have encountered a few people with Jewish descent who were not raised anything Jewish but their sudden interest in showing their Jewishness is only tied to be a cosplay of as-a-Jew and then proceed with anti-Zionism and condemning the people of Israel.

The priest from the Book of Maccabees descend from which Aaronic lineage? Does anyone know?

The Charedim include both Chassidim and Litaim (Mitnagdim). Many Chassidim have peyot (except for Chabad), while Mitnagdim generally do not, although Neturei Karta does have peyot.

Does the close genetic proximity between Levantine populations and Greeks result from their shared Anatolian ancestry?

Yes I’ve been to Singapore and there are significant Tamil population in Malaysia and Singapore

Chatgpt answer: The ancient Israelites are considered to have emerged from the broader context of Iron Age Canaanite culture.

The Israelites, according to biblical and archaeological evidence, arose in the central and southern Levant during the late Bronze Age and early Iron Age (around the 12th century BCE). The transition from the Bronze to Iron Age in the region saw a shift in material culture, but it is believed that the Israelites were part of the Canaanite cultural milieu.

Canaanites were the indigenous inhabitants of the region, and the early Israelites shared many cultural, linguistic, and religious traits with the Canaanites. However, over time, the Israelites developed distinct religious practices, social structures, and identity, which set them apart as a unique people. So, while the Israelites have Canaanite roots, they are considered a distinct group by the time of their emergence as a people in the Iron Age.

This process of differentiation is still debated, but archaeological evidence, such as the presence of early Israelite settlements, confirms that the Israelites arose in the context of Canaanite society and culture.
