DNA is irrelevant and ridiculous
Amos Schocken
Publisher Ha'aretz

 
 

Dear Mr. Amr,

I get your point - you are not interested in dialogue, you are not interested in compromise, you are only interested in "proving" that the Jews of Israel have no historical claim on this piece of land. You propose to do it by scientifically showing that they are not the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

As I said, I think your DNA thing is irrelevant and ridiculous, but I understand that in your mind this is your unique contribution to the middle east conflict, its your personal toy, and its is the only toy you want to play with. So let me ask you two questions.

  • What should be the practical conclusion if your DNA test proved your assumption correct and showed that my grandmother, Shoshana Persitz who was born in Russia and emigrated to Palestine in 1925 (and became member of the city council of Tel Aviv, and later member of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Knesset) was in fact not a descendent of King David, as she claimed she was?<
  • What should be the practical conclusion if your DNA test proved your assumption wrong and showed that she was right - she was in fact a descendent of King David?

Sincerely,

Amos Schocken
