I am South American, but most people here can digest milk, I guess only natives of pure ancestry have serious problems tolerating it. According to studies, only East Asians and Native Americans are almost completely intolerant, South Asians, Middle Easterners and Africans have tolerance although at lower frequencies than Europeans.

Middle Eastern populations are not genetically homogeneous. They have at least five distinct ancestries: Anatolian farmers (ancient Turks and Greeks), Natufians (ancestral population of the Middle East), farmers of the Levant, hunter gatherers of the Caucasus, and Iranian farmers.

According to the G25 ethnic calculator they are genetically closest to the Samaritans with a genetic distance of 0.022 followed by Palestinian Christians 0.022, followed by Jordanian Christians 0.023, followed by Syrian Christians 0.028, followed by Lebanese Christians 0.028, followed by the Druze 0.031, these would be the closest. Then slightly further away would be in first place Palestinian Muslims 0.042, Lebanese Christians 0.044, Syrian Muslims 0.045.

Christian groups in the Middle East, all that Syria, Libya and Palestine seem to be strongly correlated with ancient Jews

It seems that the Samaritans are the closest descendants of the original Jews at least from a genetic perspective. The Samaritans are an ethnic group that always lived in Israel, then the Christian groups of the Middle East (Palestinians, Lebanese and Syrians). The Ancient Jews were farmers from the Levant, and today the Syrians and Lebanese are 90% farmers from the Levant, which would explain their genetic affinity.

@rb98769 There are many types of Jews, there was a large diaspora, some went to Europe, to other parts of the Middle East, others to North Africa, this diaspora ended up mixing with the local population. The Mizarjies Jews, are the Jews from the Middle East and Western Asia, who mixed with other peoples of the Middle East, the Sephardic Jews are the Jews who mixed with Southern Europeans, the Ashkenazi Jews are the Jews who mixed with Eastern Europeans and then emigrated to Western Europe, finally there are two more, such as the Ethiopian Jews and a group of Jews from India.
