Det er ikke noget nyt, at forskere arbejder ihærdigt på at fastslå et fælles jødisk genetisk ophav. Det er set mange gange, men det bliver hverken mere korrekt eller moralsk rigtigt af at blive gentaget, skriver Shlomo Sand i en kommentar til en undersøgelse, refereret i New York Times:
"It is a bitter irony to see the descendants of Holocaust survivors set out to find a biological Jewish identity: Hitler would certainly have been very pleased! And it is all the more repulsive that this kind of research should be conducted in a state that has waged for years a declared policy of “Judaization of the country” in which even today a Jew is not allowed to marry a non-Jew."
