DNA Study on Jews

Newsweek recently printed an interesting story on a DNA study that was done on the Jewish population.   Read it with a grain of salt, however, given the source of the publication.

While the article reports to have found more scientific evidence to support Biblical claims, it also states that the European Jews are not descendants of the Turkish Kharzars.  Apparently this last claim is being used as reason why Jews are not entitled to Israeli land. 

Anti-Semitic people have been trying to wipe out the state of Israel and take their land for thousands of years.  So it's no surprise that this study is being used as a weapon to that end.   Still, I find the study interesting, but like ALL science wait for corroborating scientific data before believing one one story or claim.  There are too many people in academics today producing "junk science".
