I'm going to have the opportunity to make an
intervention on a panel discussion tomorrow featuring
Allan Dershowitz and I'm trying to martial some facts.

I've heard it argued that Palestinians are genetically
very close to the ancient Israelites as well as to
modern day Jews and that many of them are likely
descended from biblical "Hebrews" who converted to
Islam or Christianity.

Is there any scientific evidence to back this up?
Anything someone can point to online?

Also, I understand that Finklestein has written an
article rebutting Dershowitz' latest book. Is the
article online anywhere?

Thanks,

Andy
