What percentage are European? I didn't know that.

Look up DNA testing in Israel, their govt doesn't want people testing and finding out their genetic history seems to include an awful lot of eastern Europe and not anything from the Middle East.

Even Ashkenazi Jews are from Turkey, not historic Palestine.

Purdy much, most Palestinians are actually the native Jewish population who converted to Christianity and then Islam. That's why the Israeli government doesn't want DNA testing.

Ancient Judea & Israel were also not ethnostates.
