Race science’s worst enemy: actual science.
What stops Palestinian Diaspora from just pretending they’re Jewish so they can go back home?
Israel murdered a 63 year old Palestinian man who actually converted to Judaism (in honour of his grandfather who saved Jews from a massacre in the 20s). They wouldn’t let him become a citizen and tried to actively stop his conversion.

I sometimes think about how Israel’s evil even oversteps sensible propaganda. Like this guy could have been a slam dunk “good one” to pretend they weren’t discriminating against “good” Palestinians.
Why is it illegal? Because it the massive migration to Israel clashing with their foundational myth of returning to the region?
Nevermind, saw the linked resources.
Without looking at the sources, I’m going to assume it’s because, genetically speaking, Palestinians and Israelis are almost identical.
Edit - yep… That’s the kicker.
I actually meant the opposite, that DNA tests will show Europe as region of ancestry, but I also see how your idea can cause problems too.
I just have memories of the early days of genetic sequencing research breakthroughs and the Israeli government started to order it’s scientists to sequence the Israeli and Palestinian DNA to “prove” their difference… only to very quickly learn they were almost identical, stop the program, and try and stop people from talking about it.
