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.

    The official Israeli CBS cites 50% of Israeli Jews having their ancestry in Europe, primarily Ashkenazi and post-Soviet groups.... but of course, with DNA test ban in Israel is hard to know for sure... Being 75% of the Israeli population Jewish, that places it as 2/3 of Jews in Israel are from European origin... and that is their own stats. I would even say more are.
