  The news that a recent scientific paper on the common genetic roots of Jews and Palestinians had been suppressed by learned journals, because of the political sensitivity of its conclusions, made for depressing reading.

I had read about this recent fuss, and the reasons for pulling the article have been distorted in several reports, including one by the magazine's editor. There were objections because this article, despite its scientific topic, included highly charged political comments such as referring to Israelis presence as "occupation". But the genetic bond between Jews and Arabs is neither a surprise nor offensive to Jews; it confirms what the Bible says about the descent of both Isaac and Ishmael from Abraham.

Someone else posted this:
  If you want start with fraud, start with the fairy tale that the Creator is only concerned with a small minority of the world's population and has deeded them a piece of land in perpetuity.

Yes, if you're talking about Jews, you're talking about a piece of real estate about the size of New Jersey. But it's all the Jews wanted. On the other hand, Moslems not only made it clear that they felt it was their destiny to conquer the earth, but they keep track of every patch of ground they ever took by force, which includes chunks of Spain and Austria, ... and they've made it clear that they want every inch of that land back in their clutches again.
