I believe that the dna evidence was more substantial than just “middle east blood”. Apparently, there is a specific gene sequence that is almost only found among certian jews, those who are male descendents of families who traditionally had some special hereditary religious position. (the gene is on the y chrosome, therefore only males) Some of the lemba people had it, which means they are the very least have some original jewish ancestry.

Check out Joan G. Roland’s “jews in British India”. Reportedly there were some folks in India when the British arrived. they were called “Bene Israel” by the local populations.

An NO they were not persecuted by the Moghuls, even though it _was_ a Muslim Empire. Sorry to disappoint you. ;-p

Joe there have been several bloodbaths in Zimbabwe. Not of whites, but of other tribes than Mugabe’s. Tens of thousands in 1982, and a continuing stream ever since.

Joe, there has been a bloodbath (several hundred, to me, count as a blookbath)… it just has not been reported in the media. Note that Mbeki of South Africa has been a friend and supporter of Mugabe for a while, so expect South Africa to be next.

“Look what happened in Zimbabwe. The whites always said there would be a blood-bath if the blacks won the war”

And less than 15 years after that remark, their dictator is openly anti-White, and the only reason why there hasn’t been a bloobath under Mugabe is the mass exodus of anyone who can afford to emigrate.
