Israel – Researchers Find American Indians With Jewish Genetic Markers

    46

    Israel – Geneticists at an Israeli hospital said they have found a unique Jewish genetic mutation among an American Indian tribe, indicating that they are descendants of Jews expelled from Spain 600 years ago, local Haaretz daily reported on Wednesday.

    The findings of the study, conducted at the Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv, show that a group of Indians from the State of Colorado bear the so-called “Ashkenazi mutation,” on the BRCA1 gene – a marker unique to European Jews.

    Those “secret Jews,” or “Anusim” in Hebrew were believed to be descendants of a Jewish man who left Europe and settled in south America about 600 years ago – likely among the hundreds of thousands of Jews expelled by Spain in 1492, and possibly among those who sailed with Christopher Columbus, according to the report, which appears in the European Journal of Human Genetics.

    Columbus discovered America in 1492, which is 524 years ago, not 600. He never got to what’s now Colorado, or anywhere close. So how did these indians develop “Jewish” markers? Because mutations are a random process, and the same mechanism which created the mutation in these Sephardic Jews also created one among these indians.

    This is nothing new. Go to the American Indian museum and discover a lot of similarities with “customs” and “ceremonies” that have obvious Jewish undertone. Also the Cherokee language comes directly from Hebrew.

    Geneticists at an Israeli hospital said they have found [what was previously thought to be] a unique Jewish genetic mutation among an American Indian tribe, indicating that the genetic mutation is NOT EXCLUSIVE TO JEWS.
    Anyone who knows anything about Jews and anything about Indians knows that it’s beyond silly to think that American Indians whose culture in no way (ZERO) resembles Yiddishkeit could be one of the “lost” tribes. This is Mormon idiocy spouted by a delusional fraudster with more imagination than education. Joseph Smith got this “revelation” by looking into his Urim and Thummin.

    If they don’t wear a brim-up hat , they are not real Jews.

    Silly scientists. These Indians don’t wear black hats and don’t have beards, so Torah says they’re not Jews. .

    We should have known this many year ago, since when I was growing up, all the moderneshe summer camps for upscale yiddeshe yinglach had names like Camp Hiawatha, Camp Running Bear, etc. rather than Camp Vishnitz or Camp Chelmishe

    Isn’t it possible that this genetic marker is inherited from Anusim among the Spanish colonizers who sired children with Indians? There are many known cases of Anusim among the Spanish settlers and similarly many cases of Spanish-Indian relations all over the southwest.

    I am changing my name to either Gefite Fish, Shmaltz Herring, Swift Shmendrik, or Late for Shu. I am also appointing myself as chief of the Shmohawk tribe. On a more serious note, gene mutation is not evidence of ancestry. DNA comparisons between American Indians and Jews have been done in the past and the conclusive evidence is that that we are not cousins. Indians are more closely related to orientals that to Jews. Regardless, Mormons will have a field day with this because their founder claimed that American Indians are descendants of the 10 lost tribes.

    Umm… People: Weren’t the American Indians already here when Columbus landed? Is it me or is anybody else confused?

    No wonder the Indians in the movie “The Frisco Kid” caught on quickly to the song Hava Nagilah when Gen Wilder started sing it.

    Who says they are Indians from Colorado? Secular Jews when they smoke pot look just like Indians who use peyote. Easy mistake.

    There is 1948 Israel, which contains mostly Jews as a population.

    Then there is Biblical Israel. While the King James differs somewhat from the Torah in wording I’m sure, let’s examine were God said He would plant the dispersed northern Kingdom.

    Why America Is Special

    Second Samuel 7:10

    10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

    1 Cronicles 17:9

    9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

    Deuteronomy 33:28

    28 Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.

    A VERY interesting book you might want to read is called, “He Walked the Americas”! I’ve had to buy it 4 times, seems that folks that borrow it forget it has a home already! LOL

    Not only can some be mapped genetically but also chronologically.
    This has been until recently a ” mystery” however with time more and more can get revealed especially the messages to the tribes of Israel as to their true identity as spoken to Ezekiel.
    Here is a link to see chronologically where the tribes have been deposited and it can illustrate the timing, destiny and the formation of the nations….( read tribes and peoples) for a much bigger purpose than man has been able to have known….. so far…
