[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: You're right, and people, the media and even many politicians are not making the distinction between self-identifying Arab vs biologically Arab. The whole term is highly plastic anyway, and usually has little to nothing to do with biology when it's applied to populations outside of the Arabian peninsula. For instance, Palestinians aren't biologically Arab, and neither are most Syrians and North African 'Arabs', despite their insistence that they are. They cannot be biologically distinguished from their non-'Arab' fellow countrymen in a meaningful way. One could even make the argument that modern day Arabs themselves are mostly a relatively recent composite of the aforementioned populations, but that's a different story. [/qb][/QUOTE]see you introduced the term "biologically Arab":into this thread. You should therefore be able to define what that means in order for it to be a valid term [/QB][/QUOTE]Not that there is much wiggling room, but, the last time I checked, the whole topic is about the plasticity of the Arab genealogy and the ease with which some populations become 'Arabs'. Not that the underlying definition used here matters much; the Palestinians aren't Arabs by [i]any[/i] definition. By the lineages you cited it could be argued that the Christians and other traditionally 'non-Arabs' in the Middle East are Arabs as well, which I'm sure isn't were you were initially going with it when you boldly proclaimed ''BUT THEY ARE ARABS''. You're just another case of someone who blindly follows the political narrative of Palestinians as some medieval invaders with no ancient and biological ties to the land that are every bit as authentic as, say, that of Sephardic Jews. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11543891 [/QB][/QUOTE]
