  1. It won't last forever, things will change.

  2. Well, non fanatic Irani, Iranian Jews are genetically quite close to non Jewish Iranian people given that Iranians vary around Iran.

  3. I doubt many Sephardi still speak or understand Ladino today.

  4. I seen many Sephardi Jews, they are not so dark, and Ashkenazi Jews are not so light.

  5. Well, people change, they interbred with others. Palestinians are not exactly the same genetically before or after islam, and very different from the Canaanites that lived there in the ancient past.

  6. It is modern Hebrew and modern pronunciation. Phoenician and old Hebrew were mutually understandable more or less. I doubt an old person from the past come to life would understand Modern Hebrew just like Muhammad himself would not understand Egyptian Arabic.

  7. It's a wonder all these Jews can live together in a small piece of land in the Levant, being essentially foreigners to each other.

  10.  @Michael19830106  Don't take this the wrong way, but coming from somewhere doesn't make it your homeland. The Sephardi Jews did not originate in Spain, and the Ashkenazi in Germany.

  11. That is a good explanation of the differences between those two groups, but it's all cultural. Language, food, pronunciation, etc are all cultural. Genetically both Jews are almost the same, the Sephardi are closer to the East Mediterranean than the Ashkenazi. The origin points are not quite correct. Those Jews ended up in Iberia and Germany but started from the same place of origin.

  12. The Sephardi mostly ended up in North Africa, and Turkey. The Ashkenazi stayed in Europe.

  13. Good for you, but Scots are not really Catholic, Scottish born Irish people are.

  14. So do I. However, it isn't going to happen, unless humans evolve.

  15.  @JohnDoe-jb5ko  Ashkenazi Jews, non practicing ones too, are easy to spot in dna testing as they are quite related to each other, and underwent a hugh reduction in their population, making their descendants look like 5th cousins. Saying that those dna testing companies don't try to break down the ancestral components of Ashkenazi Jews.

  16.  @elram2649  What is original about anything the Islamic folk do? Even the language of the Quran is not an everyday spoken language, it's like Latin to old Christians.

  17. Wow. Not biased are we.
