Palestinians and Jews are Closely Related
An interesting titbit for consideration;
quote:
The genetic profile of Palestinians has, for the first time, been studied by using human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene variability and haplotypes. The comparison with other Mediterranean populations by using neighbor-joining dendrograms and correspondence analyses reveal that Palestinians are genetically very close to Jews and other Middle East populations, including Turks (Anatolians), Lebanese, Egyptians, Armenians and Iranians. Archaeologic and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian and Anatolian peoples in ancient times. Thus, Palestinian-Jewish rivalry is based in cultural and religious, but not in genetic, differences.

This is not the first or only study to reach such conclusions. Whoever the modern Palestinians are related to (lots of folks apparently) many Israelis, especially those with strong family ties to Jerusalem, are related to the same people.

Re: Palestinians and Jews are Closely Related
I don't think this says a lot.
Of course you don't. Why let pesky reality intrude into your apocalyptic fantasy world?
We have no samples of Edomite genes, to my knowledge, to perform a similar study.
That isn't the point. What I am trying to tell you is that if modern Palestinians are descended from the Edomites, then so are the Israelis. The genetic evidence is that they are essentially the same people. Your silly argument that Palestinians are Edomites could just as easily (and just as wrongly) be applied to the Israelis, which kind of screws up the picture you are trying to paint.
Your scenario simply makes no sense if both the Palestinians and Israelis are Edomites.
