A leading member of Germany’s central bank has caused outrage by claiming that Jews are identified by a particular gene.

Thilo Sarrazin, who is on the board of the the Bundesbank in Frankfurt, said in a newspaper interview: ‘All Jews share a certain gene. Basques (Spanish separatists) have particular genes, that distinguishes them from others.’

Sarrazin unveils book as condemnation continues to rain in
Germany's Social Democrats have put forward a motion to expel high-profile banker Thilo Sarrazin from the party due to his inflammatory comments about immigrants. His controversial new book went on sale Monday morning.
Quote:
Germany's Social Democratic Party (SPD) on Monday said it would begin proceedings for the expulsion of longstanding member Thilo Sarrazin over comments in his new book.

Sarrazin, a central bank executive, officially launched his book "Deutschland schafft sich ab" ("Germany does away with itself") at a press conference in Berlin on Monday. A series of interviews with Sarrazin last week included xenophobic comments against Muslims and Jews, causing a storm of controversy in the run-up to the launch.

They do have the same ancestors--Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So they do have the same gene pool.

Actually, I thought there were specific genetic studies about the Cohen/Levite names???

Genetics and DNA will be used to tell what tribe each person of Jewish descent is from..it's not a put down..but a scientific fact..can't wait to find out which of Noah's sons I'm desended from myself..the jews are from Shem..I know this..and Hams desendents are the people of color..then there's Japheth..since Shem fathered more than one race of people..then I could be from either Shem or Japheth..and with the tad bit of Indian I have thrown into the mix..I could be a mix of all three..who knows right?..however..the jews themselves believe that The Messiah will strighten out who is from what tribe when he comes..the only tribe they seem to care about getting right at this time however, is the Levites..at least that's how it seems to me that is..

I don't understand why everyone considers this a racist remark. Political correctness is one way to make sure people don't have their own opinions.

It's how it was said in German... not always does it convey over to English.


Here are two articles that talk about the Jewish Genes - the problem is not how what Thilo Sarrazin said as it is conveyed to English, but that it had NSDAP/Nazi overtones in German, and how it was expressed about "racism" and "anti-semitism" and how if one is "antisemitic" one must also be messing about the genes of arabs and muslims as well who are "distinct" genetically and different from Europeans.

This is not correct... not exactly.
"AJ" = Ashkenazi Jewish
Quote:
...Recent reports have reaffirmed that the AJ population has a common Middle Eastern origin with other Jewish Diaspora populations, but also suggest that the AJ population, compared with other Jews, has had the most European admixture. Our analysis indeed revealed higher European admixture than predicted from previous Y-chromosome analyses. Moreover, we also show that admixture directly correlates with high LD, suggesting that admixture has increased both genetic diversity and LD in the AJ population. Additionally, we applied extended haplotype tests to determine whether positive selection can account for the level of AJ-prevalent diseases. We identified genomic regions under selection that account for lactose and alcohol tolerance, and although we found evidence for positive selection at some AJ-prevalent disease loci, the higher incidence of the majority of these diseases is likely the result of genetic drift following a bottleneck. Thus, the AJ population shows evidence of past founding events; however, admixture and selection have also strongly influenced its current genetic makeup...
Chosen Genes of the Chosen People

Quote:
..."We were surprised to find evidence that Ashkenazi Jews have higher heterozygosity than Europeans, contradicting the widely-held presumption that they have been a largely isolated group," said first author Dr. Steven Bray, a postdoctoral fellow in Warren's laboratory.

The researchers went on to measure linkage disequilibrium, a measure of how "chunky" a population's genomes are. ..
Ashkenazi Jewish population more diverse than people of European descent


What Sarrazin was saying is that Jews are an isolated genetic group, therefore "not" European... and seperate from Europeans. Untrue, patently false and anti-semitic.
