Can you look at this map and say Israel does not systemically appropriate land?

For what?

In several analyses, the population in the study that is most similar to the Jewish populations is the Palestinian population. This result is reflected by the fact that for K=5, Bayesian clustering with Structure assigns the Jewish populations and the Palestinians to the same cluster…and by the relatively close placement of the Palestinians and the Jewish populations in MDS plots of individual distances…This genetic similarity, which is supported by several previous studies…is compatible with a similar Middle Eastern origin of the Jewish populations and the Palestinians. Admixture of the Palestinians with groups with European origins might have maintained or augmented this shared ancestry, especially if it was paralleled with similar admixture of these groups with Jewish populations.

Admixture of the Palestinians with groups with European origins might have maintained or augmented this shared ancestry, especially if it was paralleled with similar admixture of these groups with Jewish populations.

Genetically speaking, the difference is where the intermarrying occured, and the frequency of the admixture thereof.

since there is more than six million Jews missing in 2013, having had six million taken out of the European gene pool back in WWII. It has to do with making amends for genocide.

However, Rin Tin Tin was originally one shepherd of mixed ancestry that then developed, on purpose, into its own gene pool, so Germany had its own authentic German shepherd. The other shepherds in Germany did not breed with the Rin Tin Tin line (gene pool), so their descendants literaly "regressed to the mean" and are mutts somewhere.

As sad as this is, Foofie, and it is, why do you fixate on to the exclusion of the millions the US taken out of the gene pool from virtually every country on the planet. If what the Nazis did was evil, it can't compare to the ongoing, relentless genocide that the US continues to engage in even as we speak.

So, if Palestineans have removed themselves from mixing with other Arabs, they can be said to have their own gene pool. And, Israeli Jews can be said to be developing their own gene pool, once again. The point of contention is whether the world is willing to allow them to do this, since there is more than six million Jews missing in 2013, having had six million taken out of the European gene pool back in WWII. It has to do with making amends for genocide. Not looking backwards to see who is authentically an indigenous person of the middle east. If that was the criteria, Americans better give the land back to the Native Americans.

P.S.: But your use of the word "admixture" does sound sort of professorial, and adds a panache to your one-sided position, in my opinion.

P.P.S.: The thinking you espouse is somewhat late, since from 1948 to today, there are already around three generations of native born (Sabra) Israelis, quite mixed between Sephardim and Ashkenazim, since the universal draft has a big effect on the mixing of the two populations. Now the world has a population of Sabras that lay claim to the land, as an indigenous population. Regardless, from your ivory tower, where you get to use big words, like "admixture," the situation is out of your control and others that have the world's problems on their minds. Quite funny, in my opinion.

The Canaan Dog originated in the 1930s out of breedings of the wild dogs of Palestine. So Israel has its own authentic Israel shepherd dog, too.

I think Bismarck wanted to do the same thing when he wanted German Jews to convert to Lutheranism.

I've never heard of such.

What I do know, however, is that Bismarck introduced the "Law on Freedom of Religion" [Gesetz, betreffend die Gleichberechtigung der Konfessionen in bürgerlicher und staatsbürgerlicher Beziehung], which consisted of a single paragraph that came into effect on July 3, 1869. Without specifically mentioning Protestants or Catholics, Christians or non-Christians, it ensured the formal, legal emancipation of the Jews in all territories of the North German Confederation. This law was became later unchanged law of German Reich.

You didn't know he might have been anti-Catholic?

Seeing as how you’ve utterly failed to grasp it,
