Race science's worst enemy: actual science.
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.
One is that Palestinians are a semitic peoples, while the settlers are nearly all euro-amerikkkan origin. So even by Israel's old testament blood quantum calculus, they have much less claim to the land than the indigenous peoples do.
Turns out...You can't claim to be superior if you aren't superior. Who would have thought.
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.
Wouldn't being genetically identical to Palestinians support the Israeli's case for being there?
Your cousin coming to your home to visit or asking you to live there is very different from him coming to murder you and steal your house and tell the world how he is right to life there and your family trying not to have their house stolen is literal terrorism
It's not about their case for being there. It's about their desire to be distinct from them. Harder to "other" and genocide your own people.
That's what I assumed also. They basically look the same in general
There are a number of videos that can be found on YouTube displaying reactions from consumers of these kits once their ancestry information is revealed - including one in which an Egyptian-Palestinian figured out that she had Jewish DNA, possibly showing the two cultures are closer in ancestry than they believe.
For anyone else
Tell everyone at work your salary. Keeping pay scales secret is taking part in the capitalist game.
It’s not actually illegal but it is heavily restricted. Basically no over-the-counter or online purchase kits:
According to the provisions of the Genetic Information Law, genetic tests can only be performed in Israel in medical-genetic laboratories approved by the Ministry of Health according to the conditions specified in the law.
The tweet is also only partially true based on what I can find. It’s not illegal to post the results publicly, but it wouldn’t surprise me if posts like that mysteriously vanished from platforms.
It speaks to the control Israel exerts over its own people and the narrative. It could also speak to their isolationist society and paranoia about being exposed for the massive fraud the country is.
Tbf, those tests need some serious regulation for user privacy...
but I doubt that's the reason they are banned
What stops Palestinian Diaspora from just pretending they're Jewish so they can go back home?
Well, yeah, but there's plenty of Jews that have olive skin or darker (especially Mizrahi, Sephardim) so surely they aren't literally going 
at whatever agency gives the OK to new settlers?
Remember when Ethiopian Jews immigrated to Israel and Israel forcibly sterilized them?
Damn... their depravity knows no bounds.
They can just verify they're from europe in that case.
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.
Who knows where that cum came from they're sucking it out of corpses over there
That sentence is WILD
