A GROUP OF COLORADO INDIANS HAVE GENETIC JEWISH ROOTS

A GROUP OF COLORADO INDIANS HAVE GENETIC JEWISH ROOTS

Sheba Medical Center geneticists have found that a population of Indians in the U.S. state of Colorado has genetic Jewish roots going back to the expulsion of Jews from Spain. The common marker was a unique genetic mutation on the BRCA1 gene. This mutation, commonly known as the “Ashkenazi mutation,” is found in Jews of Ashkenazi origin and is associated with an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. The trail began with research conducted by Prof. Jeffrey Weitzel, an oncogenetic (cancer genetics) expert at the City of Hope Hospital in California.

Weitzel examined samples from 110 American families of Hispanic origin, and followed them through a computational genetics study, and in 2005 published an article pointing to their common ancestry: People who had immigrated to the United States from Mexico and South America. Weitzel’s discovery of the BRCA1 mutation in these Hispanics led him to suspect that there was a genetic connection between them and European Jews, and he sought to confirm the connection. A study recently conducted at Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer whose findings have been accepted for publication by the European Journal of Human Genetics has found the missing link: The mutation was also found in a group of Mexican Indians who had immigrated from Mexico to the United States over the past 200 years and settled in western Colorado. When their samples were submitted to a computational genetic study, it emerged that they, along with Weitzel’s original Hispanic subjects, all had a common ancestor: A Jew who immigrated from Europe to South America up to 600 years ago, the period in which Christopher Columbus discovered America and the Jews of Spain were expelled.

The Sheba research was performed by a team headed by Prof. Eitan Friedman, head of the medical center’s Oncogenetics Unit, and student Yael Leitman, and sought to identify the original source of the BRCA1 mutation, found in about 1.5 percent of Jews of Ashkenazi origin and 0.5 percent of Iraqi Jews. To do this, they collected samples from 115 families carrying this mutation from all over the world. These included Jewish families of Ashkenazi and Iraqi origin, and Jews originating from the Indian city of Cochin. They also, with Weitzel’s help, collected samples from 16 mutation-carrying families among the Mexican Indians in Colorado, five British families from Manchester, and three families from Malaysia. The study was based on previous Sheba research from 15 years ago, during which primitive analyses were done on the mutation found in Ashkenazi and Iraqi Jews; at that time, it was thought the mutation had first occurred 2,500 years earlier, during the dispersion after the destruction of the First Bais Hamikdosh. However, the new analysis, which checked 15 different genetic markers associated with the mutation, demonstrated that the Iraqi version of the mutated gene traces back only 450 years, which testifies to a migration of Ashkenazi Jews to Iraq – most probably merchants – that has not been well documented. Meanwhile, the mutation found in the Colorado Indians was found to be identical to that of Ashkenazi Jews, and dates to a period more than 600 years ago. Researchers say this offers incontrovertible genetic proof that some of the Jews expelled from Spain who reached the New World intermarried with local Indians whose descendants later migrated to the United States.

Perhaps a more appropriate term than "Jew" in this article would be "Hebrew or Israelite" since the Jews were from only ONE of the TWELVE tribes of Israel. The ten tribes of the nation of Israel (the northern kingdom with its capital in Samaria) was carried into captivity by the Assyrians about 125 years before the nation of Judah,from which we get the word Jew, was carried off into captivity by the Babylonians. Its capital was Jerusalem. Israel and Judah were TWO SEPARATE NATIONS after ten of the tribes of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel rebelled against Solomon's son's excessive taxation. The Israelites (10 tribes)lost their identity after they were carried into captivity because they adopted the customs of the pagans around them; historians believe they became the Vikings, Angles, Saxons (the word Isaac's sons shortened), the Goths, and other barbarian tribes. The Jews, however, kept their religious traditions. Remember, Abraham was told that his seed would be as numerous as the stars. The entire books of Kings and Chronicles tell the stories of the two separate nations (Israel and Judah) yet most people still refer to all the tribes as Jews. www.britam.org is a good place to get some of the history of the lost tribes who wandered worldwide.

It is believed that Zarah, Judah's twin brother of the red thread fame, emigrated to the Iberian peninsula long before the captivities of the two nations. This partially explains why Hebrews or Israelites were located in Spain. In fact, it is believed the word Iberia is derived from Hebrew. It's a fascinating story but without the knowledge or understanding that the Jews are only one part of the Israelites or Hebrews, it is not likely even biblical prophecy will be understood as many end-time prophecies refer to Israel and not Judah.

DO BE BE FOOLED BY THIS JEWDEAN NONSENSE: These so called Tel Aviv Jewdaen scientists and scholars say that the events of the Bible is false and never happened and they try to hide the facts that the Celtic Europeans are the True Israelites, but then they turn around and say they are related to American Indians in Colorado through speculation and genetics that are common place within the Asian race and try to prove something redeeming out of that for their Judaen racial brew, which is mixed with everything from North Africans to Mongols, which has no relation to Moses' Law of racial purity(which is still kept by the Celts of Europe). Most Asians, Turks/Khazars(what the Askenazic Jews are mixed with), and American Indians have B type blood, which is an Asian blood type, which explains certain similar genetics in the Asian races. But, here's the bigger picture; we are ALL HUMAN BEINGS and related to each other in some way. These speculations by these Jewdaen scientists and Tel Aviv University findings belong in their National Inquirer. We ain't falling for that garbage anymore.

I'm sorry...I need to correct myself. Zarah was Pharez' twin brother, not Judah's brother. Zarah and Pharez were the twin sons of Judah, who carried the "kingly" line.
