Antizionists assert Jews are simply "European converts" to claim they have no connection to Israel.
Israel: State of a Nation
In a recent discussion, Elon Gilad addresses the antizionist claim that Jews are merely "European converts" and thus lack a historical connection to Israel. He counters this argument by highlighting genetic research that shows Ashkenazi Jews have closer genetic ties to Middle Eastern populations, like the Druze, compared to European groups such as the Poles. His insights aim to dispel myths propagated by antizionists and reinforce the historical and genetic bonds that Jews maintain with the land of Israel.
