Excerpts: "A new study by the Hebrew University in Jerusalem reveals: the Kurds are the people closest to the Jews genetically.
Scientists who carried out the study, including Prof.
Ariella Friedman [sic: Oppenheim] and Dr.
Marina Fireman [sic: Faerman], say that according to the findings, the Jews and the Kurds share common ancient forefathers, who lived in the northern part of the Fertile Crescent (a part of contemporary Iraq and Syria).
Some moved southward in pre-historic times and settled along the eastern seaboard of the Mediterranean.
The researchers say that they were surprised to find that the Jews were closer genetically to the Kurds (and to the Turks) than to their Arab neighbors.
The findings of the study, which for the first time included a comparison between DNA samples from Jews and DNA samples from Muslim Kurds, also surprised historians such as Prof.
Bezalel Bar-Kochba of Tel-Aviv University and Dr.
Gunner Lehman of Ben-Gurion University in the Negev, who said: "`It is difficult to explain the findings within the context of the knowledge we have about material and historic culture.'" "Evrei i kurdi - brat'ya po genam." MIGnews.com (Media International Group) --end of report--
