The Jewish Chronicle, Feb. 16, 2024 “I found that people are not always who they say they are when we apply genetic criteria to them. But in the end, the identity that people claim for themselves is indeed who they are. If genetics helps someone to make or change an identity, so much the easier,” […]
Ariel David Haaretz, Oct. 9, 2023 “… the genetic data from Kiryat Yearim offers a first glimpse of how directly sampling remains from the First Temple period can shed light on the history of the ancient Hebrews, Israelite or Judahite.” For the first time, ancient DNA has been recovered from the bodies of ancient […]

Melanie Phillips Substack, Feb. 16, 2024 “The government’s concern is genuine. But while it wrings its hands, it is staring in horror at a crisis of anti-Jewish hatred that’s now out of control.” The war in Gaza is prying open a potentially game-changing fissure in British politics that has wider implications for the western world.
