Actually Palestinian "arabs" and jews are probably closer genetically than Poles, Russians and Bulgarians are.It's not something Israel or neocons thought up, Arabs themselves agreed until tactically they "separated" Palestinians out for pragmatic reasons in the 70's. Here are some related quotes from Arab leaders:
Zuheir Mohse, high ranking PLO official, 1977:
Prince Hassan of the Jordanian National Assembly, 1970:
Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, an Arab Muslim leader, to Peel Commission in 1937:
Syrian President Hafez Assad to Yasser Arafat:
The study, published in the May 9 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that Jewish men shared a set of common genetic signatures with non-Jews from the Middle East, including Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese, and these signatures diverged significantly from those of non-Jewish men outside of this region.
In a study of Israeli Jews from four different groups (Ashkenazi Jews, Kurdish Jews, North African Sephardi Jews, and Iraqi Jews) and Palestinian Muslim Arabs, more than 70% of the Jewish men and 82% of the Arab men whose DNA was studied had inherited their Y chromosomes from the same paternal ancestors, who lived in the region within the last few thousand years. "Our recent study of high-resolution microsatellite haplotypes demonstrated that a substantial portion of Y chromosomes of Jews (70%) and of Palestinian Muslim Arabs (82%) belonged to the same chromosome pool."
