What is the Genetic History of Palestinians?

This is a ground-breaking study which reveals the lack of understanding by those who emphasize feelings over scientific facts.

The genetic history of the Palestinian population reveals a complex tapestry of ancestry and genetic relationships with neighboring populations. Genetic studies indicate that Palestinians share a close genetic relationship with Jews and other Middle Eastern populations, such as Turks, Lebanese, Egyptians, Armenians, and Iranians, suggesting a common ancestry from ancient Canaanites who mixed with conquering Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Anatolians. In short, there was a time when Palestinians could have made a claim to the land now protected by the state of Israel.
