ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (05.25.16)
3. actually you're 100% political
Rafi ,   US   (05.25.16)
4. #1 Radical Left Winger and Bigot Racist. No surprise.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.25.16)
5. That means he is descended from Abraham and Sarah not just
Rivkah   (05.25.16)
Khazars who converted to Judaism anciently but who were not descended from Abraham and Sarah genetically unless they were of the Ten Tribes of Israel who do not know their genealogy while the Jews (Judah, Benjamin and Levi), have held onto their genetic heritage and know it.
6. Sepharadic or whatever, who cares
Philip ,   Israel   (05.25.16)
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?". ”
7. You have mostly Palestinian DNA
Harri ,   EU   (05.25.16)
8. actually we are all immigrants from africa
tomer ,   jerisalem   (05.25.16)
now that Bibi enlightened us that he has "sephardic roots" he might want to go all the way. According the the Y-chromosone mapping scientists prove that all men,worldwide have to 99.9% the same genetic root .its Africa!!! so all our phobie with "goyim",blacks,asians,arabs etc.etc are result from our fear of the "different". fear breeds Hate and hate breeds violence. Actually all of us are "blacks" adapted to the sun and climate. Sorry to the religious,believing community. God created us different to what we believe...or maybe we created Him?
9. Spain here he comes?
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (05.25.16)
This news begs two questions. 1)Will Mr Netanyahu excerise his right to apply for Spanish citizenship? 2)Would the Spanish government accept it? THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
10. wonderful news PM Netanyahu can run in Spanish elections!
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (05.25.16)
The Spanish have not had a government since their December 2015 elections. Those results ended in deadlock so they are having elections again. Can we send PM Netanyahu to Spain so that he can do for them what he's done for us!
11. Not 99.9 but actually 99.7
AK   (05.25.16)
And that makes an awful lot of a difference. It's a difference between man and woman, idiot and genius. Just consider that a difference between you and a chimp is just about 1.2%
12. Descent from Abraham
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.25.16)
You are not up to date with recent testing. The Khazar theory is now rejected and middle east deep ancestry is established for European Jews by DNA testing.
13. PM Mr. Netanyahu has 4gotten there is an outstanding warrant
Sally Forth ,   Israel   (05.25.16)
waiting for him in Spain. Yes, go on have a look, for crimes against humanity. Ironically enough it is the same charge that Elor Azaria, (IDF soldier who shot a neutralized human being) an Israeli-French dual citizen will face. If PM Mr. Netanyahu wants to be Spanish...let's take it all the way to the court room! Betcha he won't be able to get the good services of Spain's attorney general!
14. to #5
(05.25.16)
so after reading some half-baked article on some tin-foil-hat website (mondoweiss perhaps?), you are prepared to rewrite 3000 years of jewish history, and to decide who is a "real jew" and who is a "fake jew". why not? after all, you also believe that a man can be god, so you obviously have no use for proof, or even logic. there's a yiddish word for that: "meshugene".
15. #7 Look for the Phalestinians in Greece and Arabs in Arabia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.25.16)
Jews are from Israel spanning from the Nile river in the west to the Euphrates river in East and from the Taurus mountains in the North (Turkey) to Yemen in the south. Arab invading settlers belong in Africa by DNA findings.
16. but he's NOT a Cohen or in the Davidic line!
israel ,   Israel   (05.26.16)
He can carry on all he wants but he's not at the top of the Jewish tree! He's neither a priestly Cohen nor a regal Davidic...he's just an ordinary Jew! So he can't even say what the British Prime Minister Mr. Disraeli said: "Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right honorable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were Priests in the Temple of Solomon."
