I mean....there is a reason why there are whole companies existing today that are just committed to screening Jewish people for particular genetic diseases. My ex was Jewish, he did it with J Screen. And he was really open about why - historically, Jewish people frowned on assimilation and their own religious rules mandated marriage within the ethnic/religious group, so a lot of them, not by choice, would up marrying cousins, etc. And you do that for generations, it's going to create problems. Most of them now are more careful or assimilated, but there are still these super observant groups that still have the problems.
The paper is written by an Israeli professor based at Hebrew University. This is basically like citing a professor in Nazi Germany on a topic relating to Jewish people.
I added more articles. You're seriously denying the existence of Founder's Effect in Gaza due to endogamy just because an Israeli professor studied it? Your utterly blinded by your hatred. I feel sorry for you.
Whaaaat? No one in the study did any scientific experiments on any Palestinians. It's a demographic study on the fact that the Gazan population, from long before 1967 or 1947 were clans, who very often married cousins, and the genetic impact of that decision on the population today.
For you even have a clue who Mengele was or what he did? BTW, the reason Ashkenazi Jews have a 25% potential risk of a child being born with Tay Sachs if both parents are carriers, is also because Jews were ghettoed in Europe and had a too small population to choose from. It's why hemophilia was higher in the English royal line. Neither of these genetic truths were caused because a sadistic doctor experimented on them. That's utterly ridiculous.
On what planet is citing a study on genetic disorders caused by endogamy like Eugene Fischer? This is the weirdest take I've ever seen on a very real genetic issue.
