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one gene pool had been replaced by another.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.

You've ignored the basic barrier to answering the question.

How do you know the identities of the people you're getting the DNA from
after 3,000 years?

You assertions are of no value until you answer this first.

BTW in ancient warfare it was extremely uncommon to kill all the
defeated people. Where do you think slave girls & concubines came from?



I had no intent of covering all of history in this forum

Do you have any intention of discussing history?

... 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

!!!

You know all about it, you saw it on TV!


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

Somewhat, sure. But they were enough different from Christian Europeans
to be expelled and to suffer pogroms.

... and that European Jews immigrated into Palestine after
ww2 to establish a Jewish state

Slightly true but ignores 90% of what really happened to establish Israel.

... and displace the indigenous residents.

That doesn't seem to have been the Jews intention in 1947 and '48. What
really happened is that the Arabs rejected the partition, wanted *all*
the land and all Jewish property, and plotted to kill the Jews once the
British Army left them alone. Instead they got a big surprise and have
been crying "no fair, do over!" ever since.
