Official PA Daily claims modern Jews are not really Jewish

Excerpt of a column by Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul, regular columnist for official PA daily and former advisor to former PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad on national affairs

“The leaders and elites in fascist Israel fear history and do not want to hear it. They are attempting to impose their fake and false narrative, which contradicts all the testimonies in historical Palestine from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea. Every time a person, regardless of his citizenship, touches on the history and its testimonies, these same Zionists accuse him of ‘Antisemitism’ – the false and ready-made accusation that has no basis in reality. This is because most of them are Khazar Jews who have no connection to the Semitic race (sic., genetic research has conclusively proven modern Jews share a common origin in Israel and are not the descendants of Khazars). The Semites are Arabs, Ethiopians, Assyrians, and Jews who lived in the Arab lands and among the Arabs.”
