Thu May 9, 2024, 07:09 AM

May 2024

Morroco, Saudi Arabia....any other Muslim country....Gaza? Do residents of Muslim countries need to prove by DNA evidence that they have the right to live there?

This is not whataboutism, but holding every nation to the same standard.

My DNA test says I am from the Levant. [View all] Eko May 2024 OP

Give it a try and let us know how it works out. tritsofme May 2024 #1

You didn't answer my question. Eko May 2024 #3

You didn't take my suggestion. tritsofme May 2024 #6

My question was first. Eko May 2024 #7

Time is relative. tritsofme May 2024 #12

If you cant answer it then just don't answer it Eko May 2024 #15

I've encouraged you go give it a try. Don't evade your own dreams. tritsofme May 2024 #29

Why does almost every thread turn nasty? bif May 2024 #50

I believe that was the only purpose of this thread. tritsofme May 2024 #51

You're probably right. bif May 2024 #54

This is one of the nastiest OPs I've seen in 20 years on DU. yardwork May 2024 #73

I typed and deleted a response Sympthsical May 2024 #87

I dare say most Europeans' and Anglo-Americans' ancestors came through the levant at one point Ponietz May 2024 #2

Why does the year matter? Eko May 2024 #4

Well, if it's 585 B.C. you might be a Babylonian descendant Ponietz May 2024 #9

So you are saying that just since my ancestors lived there Eko May 2024 #10

Yes, just as I don't have a right to Africa Ponietz May 2024 #13

Good point. Eko May 2024 #16

Another thing -- count back the number of generations the past 2500 years Ponietz May 2024 #24

I love DU. lindysalsagal May 2024 #46

massive (profoundly so) overcounting of how many total humans have existed over the past 2500 years + completely wrong Celerity May 2024 #71

Hello Ponietz May 2024 #72

it's not an astronomical number, even going back 4 million years, the total number of humans/hominids who ever lived Celerity May 2024 #80

Biological variance among humans is only .1 percent Ponietz May 2024 #84

ah you remembered I am a Chels girl Celerity May 2024 #89

6th place still possible Ponietz May 2024 #90

yes, 6th is the target. We absolutely bollocksed up the 2 blown lead draws versus the 2 worst teams in the EPL Celerity May 2024 #92

What could go wrong? Eko May 2024 #8

Apparently some think not, and if they want to employ that line of reasoning, RockRaven May 2024 #17

Well said. Eko May 2024 #20

Dunno. LudwigPastorius May 2024 #14

Not sure what that has to do with anything Eko May 2024 #18

Apparently not. Eko May 2024 #31

If they practice another religion then they're not Jews. Mosby May 2024 #32

If DNA doesn't matter then why do they have a right to be there? Eko May 2024 #35

The OP is one of the meanest taunts I've seen here inn20 years. yardwork May 2024 #75

A right of return? How many generations since your ancestors left for greener pastures? brush May 2024 #77

Yes how long ago... did that test relate to Neanderthal DNA? Model35mech May 2024 #78

Yep, many trekked to Europe. Guess the question is should a right of return be a matter of... brush May 2024 #81

Ya, I've checked on that... and the answer is Model35mech May 2024 #85

Heehee. To agree to that I guess you have to have faith. brush May 2024 #86

Should contemporary geopolitics be based on the ancient myths of a single group of people? Crunchy Frog May 2024 #108

Maybe not, but geopolitics is also about the power of identity myths Model35mech May 2024 #110

Geopolitics is foremost about power. Ideology keeps the parts working together. David__77 May 2024 #111

Yes. How many generations? AloeVera May 2024 #82

Yes, see post 81 for a continuation of the thought. brush May 2024 #83
