As fighting continues in the Middle East, a new genetic study shows that many Arabs and Jews are closely related. More than 70% of Jewish men and half of the Arab men whose DNA was studied inherited their Y chromosomes, from the same paternal ancestors who lived in the region within the last few thousand years. The results match historical accounts that some Moslem Arabs are descended from Christians and Jews who lived in the southern Levant, a region that includes Israel and the Sinai. The studies on the DNA profile of the Moslem Arabs and Hebrews has shown they shared the common ancestry but Muslims should not be misled by the DNA results. The precedent cases of Esau twin brother of Jacob was rejected and the seven older brothers of David were rejected by Yahweh God despite of the same paternal relationship
