Funnily enough, middle Eastern Jews have DNA almost identical to Palestinians, Ashkenazi have European DNA.

Indeed. And there are many other distict groups that are Jewish, such as those from Ethiopia and Marroco, that claim some historical relationship to Israel but are otherwise genetically and ethnically entirely different. The only real commonality is their religion and some closely related cultural practises.
