Genetics and ancestry is a lot more messy than that.

Both Jews and Palestinians seem to have substantial native Levantine DNA with moderate admixtures from different groups.

If Ashkenazi Jews are indigenous to Israel despite having a significant amount of European maternal DNA, so are Palestinians. Genetically, Ashkenazim and Palestinians are cousins.

This is what always baffled me.

I'm a 2nd gen Palestinian American, I have more native Levant in me than most of these settler folks and I've never even been there.
