It’s good to see, in the form of the recent October 8th edit, that the many tragic deaths and injuries resulting from the Hamas attack and Israeli response are not distracting us from important issues such as replacing “he or she” with “they”. 47.156.0.35 (talk) 47.156.0.35 (talk) 23:22, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The second paragraph states that the Law of Return does not apply to residents of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip - this is a confusion between 2 different laws. The Law of Return only talks about granting automatic citizenship to *Jews* (who are interested in it) - and a Jew who receives citizenship according to the Law of Return is considered an 'Oleh' (עולה). In addition to this law, there is the Israeli citizenship law, and according to this there is a section on 'family reunification', according to which the State of Israel may grant Israeli citizenship to someone who is *not Jewish* but is a family member of an Israeli citizen - but this is subject to the approval of the Minister of the Interior. A non-Jew who receives citizenship is not considered an 'Oleh', since it is a historical concept that only refers to Jews. However, according to a temporary order "The Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law" which was first enacted in 2003 (and since then has been extended every year - except in 2021, but then was approved again in March 2022) - it is not possible to grant Israeli citizenship/residency under the 'Family Reunification' law to residents of The Gaza Strip and the West Bank - due to the security concern of attacks by Palestinians against Israelis. 147.235.219.73 (talk) 16:32, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contemporary Jewish populations do not share a common ancestor
The summary trend in the population genetics literature is that the contemporary Jewish community has no single ancestral center but rather is formed of heterogeneous, geographically dispersed sources. Despite the presumptive language used in a few of the scientific papers, the genetic data collectively point not to a singular Levantine origin or a Khazar diminution but instead to a mosaic of Western Asia and autochthonous European sources for modern Jewish populations, one which includes Anatolian, Persian, Slavic, and circum-Mediterranean components, including the Levant, and with a very strong case for conversion to Judaism by autochthonous European women (Costa et al. 2013). The autosomal, sex chromosomal, and mtDNA study by Zoosmann-Diskin (2010) and the admixture history study of Xue et al (2017) together reinforce both the Mediterranean area (specifically Italy) as a possible geographic locus for European Jewish ethnogenesis, and the fact that the various contemporary Jewish populations do not share a common ancestor.
