What DNA would Jesus have had?

A:Geneticists look at Jewish DNA and ancestry in terms of the following groups: Ashkenazim, who are Jews with a recent ancestry in central and Eastern Europe; Sephardim with an ancestry in Iberia, followed by exile after 1492; Mizrahim, who have always resided in the Near East; and North African Jews, comprising both Sephardim and Mizrahim. As a first-century Palestinian Jew, Jesus would have had DNA corresponding closely to Mizrahim.


Is there discrimination between Ashkenazi Jews and Mizrahi Jews in Israel?

There was never legal discrimination, but there used to be social and economic discrimination. During the 1950s-1970s, there was certainly a class-divide between the majority of the Ashkenazim and the Mizrahim in Israel. There are several reasons for this: Firstly, most Mizrahim were relatively uneducated in their Arab countries of origin. Some had a Middle School or High School level of education. Many Mizrahi Jews were merchants or farmers. In contrast, a disproportionate number of Ashkenazim had university or graduate level educations. This was reflected in the "doctors, lawyers, bankers" stereotype of European Jewry. As a result, when each group came to Israel, there was a niche that each was more qualified to serve. Mizrahim, naturally, were not in the most prestigious professions. Secondly, most Mizrahim who came to Israel arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs. In many cases, their wealth had been confiscated by the Arab regime that they fled. In contrast, while a number of Holocaust-survivor Ashkenazim were in the same boat, a much larger Ashkenazi population in Israel had arrived in the 1920s and 1930s with capital to invest. As a result, they were more able to develop productive industries or businesses and increase their wealth. The first generation of Israeli-born Mizrahim had the same educational and social opportunities as Israeli-born Ashkenazim. They took advantage of these opportunities, served in the IDF, and built a new life for themselves. A large minority of Mizrahim "intermarried" with Ashkenazim, creating blended families and a more united Israeli culture. By the second generation of Israeli-born Mizrahim in the mid-90s, Mizrahis were almost indistinguishable from Ashkenazis in Israel in terms of public standing and access to government. This remains to the present day. This situation is similar in many respects to Catholics in the USA. In the 1800s, Catholics, especially if they were Irish or South German, had social and economic discrimination. It took nearly a century before Catholics gained full social and economic equality with Protestants in the USA, but they have. Nobody would say today that Catholics are discriminated against in the USA. The same is true of Mizrahi Jews in Israel.
