		<description>I t hink Julian and Baruch are using the same edition of &lt;b&gt;The Child&#039;s Guide to Hasbara&lt;/b&gt;:

&quot;When faced with incontrovertible evidence of Zionist crimes, divert the discussion to some irrelevant atrocity committed by non-Jews.&quot;</description>

		<description>The &quot;Arabs&quot; that Baruch is hating on include the descendants of this large Jewish population, having converted to Islam along with the rest of the region.</description>

		<description>Julian is playing &quot;Zionist Gotcha,&quot; the contrarian game of trying to discredit any claim made by a nonZionist, no matter what it might mean.

And what is Julian trying to prove?  Who knows?  But his own citation, speculating that the origin of the Egyptian population is North African, is not only non-controversial, it confirms the point that the Egyptians are not genetically &quot;Arabs.&quot;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Other studies have shown that modern Egyptians have genetic affinities primarily with populations of North and Northeast Africa,[28][29][30][31] and to a lesser extent Middle Eastern and European populations.[32] Studies done on ancient Egyptians&#039; remains have shown uniformity and homogeneity among the samples, and cranial/limb ratio similarity with populations from North Africa, Somalia, Nubia, Southwest Asia and Europe.[33][34][35][36][37] Blood typing and DNA sampling on ancient Egyptian mummies is scant; however, blood typing of dynastic mummies found ABO frequencies to be most similar to modern Egyptians[38] and some also to Northern Haratin populations. ABO blood group distribution shows that the Egyptians form a sister group to North African populations, including Berbers, Nubians and Canary Islanders.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

This is a general rule of population genetics, that even when an invading group does settle in a region, the base population usually remains with little alteration, such as today&#039;s Palestinians, whose ancestors are those that Julian  claims as Jews.</description>

		<description>No they weren&#039;t, according to your vaunted Wikipedia: &quot;In the region now known as Saudi Arabia, Jews gradually disappeared via assimilation or the more frequent attrition.&quot;</description>

		<description>Before we submit evidence of the miracles that the great, wonderful amazing, fantastic, brilliant Caroline Glick has performed, to the Office of Beatification at the Holy See, here&#039;s what that well-known rabid Israel-hater Jeffrey Goldberg has to say about her:

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Glick is representative of a certain strain of mainly-American Jewish thinking: She believes that all criticism of Israel is illegitimate; she believes Jews who disagree with her are traitors to her cause; and she conflates the settlement movement with the entire Zionist project.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

I&#039;ll let His Holiness know.  He&#039;ll be disappointed.  At least we can still bask in her glorious insights into the hearts and minds of Code Pink members and GFM participants.

BTW Julian, did you get lost on your way to an Arutz Sheva chatroom?  They&#039;re at www.israelnationalnews.com/forum.</description>

		<description>Julian, you should have read the original references in that Wikipedia quote you used, because whoever shortened it down to what he or she did slip-slided all over far more pertinent facts. And Potsherd does not have it wrong.</description>
