Dianekes Pontikus analyses a study of the genetic links between Ashkenazi Jews and Ethiopian Jews. And finds it!
Sure we are all sons of Adam and Eve and we are all genetically related. But Ethiopian Jews did not exist a hundred years ago, they were invented by Feinberg and in the 1990s, converted to Judaism by Rabbi Eliahu and brought to Israel to increase the number of his "Sepharadi" (Spanish !!) voters.
How these people hates us! Here you have a XXI Century race scientist writing about Nordic Poles and Baltics (recently converted to Judaism) being, in fact, closely related to Ethiopians and Kenyans (also recently converted to Judaism).

He does?
"In contrast, the Ethiopian Jewish population appears to be a subset of the larger Ethiopian population suggesting descent primarily through conversion of local women."
His entire post is about Yemeni Jews not Ethiopians
"suggesting descent primarily..." To me this is a very weak way to say that there is no genetic relationship, as I assume there is none.
Regarding your last phrase, that Dionekes's entire post is about Yemenis and not Ethiopians... let me comment that to the title seems to mention the word Ethiopians, as does your comment that his entire post is not about Ethiopians. I presume his entire post is neither about Patagonian Onas, yet he does not mention them in the title.
And what about race scientists of our generation hating Jews? They DO spend an enormous time and effort studying us, do they? I say it is not out of love.
"let me comment that to the title seems to mention the word Ethiopians"
Because he needs to name-drop the title of the article. Dienekes' own personal analysis of said article doesn't mention Ethiopians at all.
Pontikos isn't an antisemite as far as I know. He has in fact had quite a few feuds with Internet Nazis in the past.
The articles of the paper suggested on, as far as I can tell, flimsy grounds that Yemeni Jews are mostly descended from Hebrew exiles rather than converts. However, the Ethiopians are clearly descended from converts. Ashkenazim are only mentioned insofar as they "almost entirely lack L(xM,N) haplogroups" more common in Yemenite but especially Ethiopian Jewish populations. Your post doesn't make sense at all.
If you want to get a sense of the full population genetic profile of Jewish populations, read the descriptions of the big autosomal DNA studies by Atzmon and Behar at GNXP Discover and Dienekes' site. For some reason, you stubbornly resist doing this and persist in these rather off-the-mark postings.

Dienekes certainly tries to maintain an objective, scientific tone, except occasional (and pardonable) tirade against the so-called Makedonians. He does spend an enormous time and effort studying us, do they? What is about Ethiopian Jews? Are they so interesting? And the Yemeni Jews? What about them? Are they a genetic mystery? I repeat - it is not out of love.
Regarding recent studies of Jews, they ar very disappointing to me. It seems we are nothing special, we are not Martians, we are not creatures of Satan, we dont menstruate. I am losing interest in the subject, sorry.
