the genetic evidence I’ve seen from israel is that they are a mix of whole bunch of different people. further Abraham’s father was from Ur. They were refugees from the sumerian empire which was collapsing during the period in which they left. The sumerians of Ur were not a semetic people. (Just to the north the people of Akkad—were a semetic people.)
The marsh arabs of today build houses exactly like those depicted in ancient sumerian drawing but their genetics have long since become mixed up with other peoples in the area.
The jews like the christians are not a genetic line but rather a faith. As in the righteous shall live by faith.
You want to please God, do stuff that requires you to live by faith and trust in God.
There is no one more hopeless than an atheist with a guaranteed high paying pension, or an atheist tenured professor, or an atheist government official whose only job requirement is to keep is to keep in good odor with his bosses. Yet these dominate our culture.
