"Jews from Europe who came to the occupied lands don't have Jewish roots at all" –Egyptian researcher

Middle East researcher Taha Ali: "Many studies- there are many decisions emphasizing that the Jews who came from several European states do not belong to Jewish origin at all. There is even doubt that the Jews who came to the occupied lands after the Nakba (i.e., "the catastrophe," the establishment of Israel) have Jewish roots at all. They grew as new generations from ethnic mixing between Jews and non-Jews in Europe, Asia, and Africa. So how can you return to a land that is not your land because you are not even Jewish..."

Official PA TV host: "[The Israeli] based his narrative on the religious Torah belief regarding the Jewishness of the state, and whoever is not Jewish will have no existence on this land…"

Taha Ali: "O alleged religious Zionist, if you were objective, if you were religious, you would choose everything that is in your religious texts, and in the religious texts there is that which emphasizes the human right which emphasizes the Palestinian right to this land as it is Canaanite land, as the Old Testament says in more than 150 places."

Genetic research has conclusively proven that modern Jews share a common origin in Israel.

The Palestinians have no connection to the Canaanites and no history prior to the modern period; while "Canaan" and "Canaanites" are mentioned around 150 times in the Bible, it does not say they have a right to the land of Israel, and emphasizes the Jewish right to the land.
