For centuries, Zionist claims to the land of Palestine have been rooted in the idea that Jews alone are the direct descendants of the ancientIsraelites. But what if science, history, and even Jewish scholars reveal a different truth? Recent genetic studies show that Palestinians and Levantine Arabs preserve 70–90% continuity with ancient Judeans and Canaanites, while Ashkenazi Jews, who form the majority in Israel today, retain only about 45–55% Levantine ancestry, the rest being European.
This video explores the genetic evidence, the historical timeline of conversions from Judaism to Christianity and Islam, and the voices of Jewish scholars who admit Palestinians may in fact be the true heirs of the “chosen people.”
For argument’s sake, let’s ask: Who has the stronger ancestral claim to the land?

Who are Kandari Chronicles?Committed to sharing knowledge, stories and commentary about the Middle East through video essays about topics such as history, folklore, society. The sharing is not strictly about relaying knowledge, but also about documenting and preserving elements of culture that in today's educational system might be challenged by oversight or struggling with potential gradual irrelevance. The commentary revolves around looking at simple realities or concepts, but with a slight change of perspective; hoping that this minute change of view, will shed new light and provide fresh understandings. A final angle is to introduce old stories but told in a modern way to grab the attention of an audience that is now challenged attention wise and expects content to be packaged in a speedier and more engaging manner.
Where is Palestine?Palestine is a geographic region in Western Asia. It is usually considered to include the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Israel, and in some definitions, some parts of western Jordan. The name was used by ancient Greek writers, and it was later used for the Roman province Syria Palaestina, the Byzantine Palaestina Prima, and the Islamic provincial district of Jund Filastin. The region comprises most of the territory claimed for the biblical regions known as the Land of Israel, the Holy Land or Promised Land. Historically, it has been known as the southern portion of wider regional designations such as Canaan, Syria, ash-Sham, and the Levant. Situated at a strategic location between Egypt, Syria and Arabia, and the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity, the region has a long and tumultuous history as a crossroads for religion, culture, commerce, and politics.
Where is Israel?Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in the Middle East. Located on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea. It has land borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan on the east, the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively, and Egypt to the southwest.
