If I asked a person from Germany what do the German people have in
common with the people of the Middle East, he would say nothing:
not their appearance, not their language, not their alphabet, not
their history, not their cuisines, not their genetic diseases, not
their names, not their ancestry, not their DNA. But if I asked an
Ashkenazi what does he believe that he has in common with the the
people of the Middle East, he would never answer it because if he
answered it the way the German person did, then he gets very
scared because he has no other way to claim Palestine.
