Israel’s Jews not ancestors of ‘biblical race of people’

The Arab-Semite population of Palestine before 1947 was 1.2m, of which 10% were descendents of historic Jews and 10% of historic Christian ancestry.

The majority of today’s circa 10m Jews living in Israel are non-Semite descendants from the massive, proselytising programme in the first century, possibly instigated to counteract the spread of Christianity.

There is no evidence to support the claim that today’s non-Arab Jews can trace their ancestry to a biblical race of people.
