Dr Yates,

I have seen your claims proving Jewish DNA. Sorry but there is no such thing. The Jewish bible holds no race. They also accept conversion. I highly doubt there is record over the past 5000-6000 years of who has converted and who is blood line to the tribe of Judah. The Jews have been persecuted since they have been practicing their religion and I am sure many DNA lines have died out. Futhermore,being Jewish is a monarchy. Your mother must be Jewish. The only time that the male line counts is the Jewish messiah. The Jewish Messiah must come from not only a Jewish mother but his father must be of the direct male line of King David through his son King Soloman. You can study Jewish history all you want but being a practicing Jew and studing Jewish history are 2 different things. Being Jewish and claiming Indian tribal memember kinda work the same. You must prove your mother line is of the tribe of Judah and not practicing any other relegion in order to qualify under the bible and Israel laws known as the laws of return. http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/MFAArchive/2000_2009/2001/8/Acquis... ) This explains who has the right to be a citizen of Israel and the right to claim who is accepted as being Jewish/tribe of Judah. If you do not fall under these guidlines, you are not Jewish.
