> "So, I guess.... the people who call themselves direct descendants of King David, the lost Tribes of Israel, in contemporary times...seem to have very little actual relationship to those populations in history. The biggest genetic bottleneck, and oldest ancestry, can be assessed to Ashkenazim, but that brings them to medival Europe -- not the promised land, the land once held by the Canaanites, that God promised to Abraham and his descendants and his servants through the Covenant of Circumcision."
> "So really, the people God promised the land on which we now draw lines for Israel, don't even exist. I mean, I guess they are trying to make the case that they are his servants, and bear the mark."
> "But it seems like a stretch of a legal claim to say that this was your family's land, it is owed to you and rightfully yours, and the only 'proof' you can offer is that you've got a mutilated dong. Because the previous "rightful" owners also had mutilated dongs."
