Jews were simply Canaanites with a different religion

Please explain how DNA testing can identify the consanguinity between
people who lived 3,000 years ago, when the identity of the people tested
is an open question.

Simple. According to legend Moishe's people came from near what's now
Baghdad via Egypt, killed all of the indigineous peoples in the "promised
land" and replaced them. Were that true there would be DNA evidence that
one gene pool had been replaced by another. Just the opposite is true.

Yiddish at this point is basically a dead language,....

That's not what I hear from the Bronx ... as in Bronx cheer.

I had no intent of covering all of history in this forum nor debating
whether 50% or 49% or 1% of Jews escaped the Diaspora, especially with
anyone who "knows" that only Jews lived in Roman Judea but doesn't
understand genetic research - not because I deem you stupid but because such
religious beliefs cannot be challenged with truth. I made the simple
statement that Jews driven from Judea 2000 years ago had become ethnic and
cultural Europeans and that European Jews immigrated into Palestine after
ww2 to establish a Jewish state and displace the indigenous residents. The
point being that they had less right to do that as Boston's Irish have to
murder the residents of Ireland and take their place. Rather than accept
that you dissemble, bringing in and exaggerating impertinent information.
Who cares if 50% or 1% of Jews escaped Rome's diaspora - the point you'd
rather dodge is that the other 50% or 99% got hauled away elsewhere where
they intermarried with and absorbed the culture of their new neighbors. Then
after WW2 a flood of European "DPs" invaded Palistine to displace the
indigineous peoples thereof. What happened in between is moot except for the
fact that these Caananite Jews had became Europeans.
