  • Y-Chromosomal Microsatellites and Genetic Affinity Between
    Genetics and the History of the Samaritans: Y-Chromosomal Microsatellites and Genetic AfÀnity between Samaritans and Cohanim 1,2 1 3 4 5 PETER J. OEFNER, GEORG HÖLZL, PEIDONG SHEN, ISAAC SHPIRER, DOV GEFEL, TAL 6 6 6 7 7 LAVI, EILON WOOLF, JONATHAN COHEN, CENGIZ CINNIOGLU, PETER A. UNDERHILL, 8 1 8,9 6 NOAH A. ROSENBERG, JOCHEN HOCHREIN, JULIE M. GRANKA, JOSSI HILLEL, AND 8 MARCUS W. FELDMAN Abstract The Samaritans are a group of some 750 indigenous Middle Eastern people, about half of whom live in Holon, a suburb of Tel Aviv, and the other half near Nablus. The Samaritan population is believed to have numbered more than a million in late Roman times but less than 150 in 1917. The ancestry of the Samaritans has been subject to controversy from late Biblical times to the present. In this study, liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization/quad- rupole ion trap mass spectrometry was used to allelotype 13 Y-chromosomal and 15 autosomal microsatellites in a sample of 12 Samaritans chosen to have as low a level of relationship as possible, and 461 Jews and non-Jews. Estimation of genetic distances between the Samaritans and seven Jewish and three non-Jewish populations from Israel, as well as populations from Africa, Pakistan, Turkey, and Europe, revealed that the Samaritans were closely related to Cohanim. This result supports the position of the Samaritans that they are descendants from the tribes of Israel dating to before the Assyrian exile in 722–720 BCE. In concordance with previously published single-nucleotide polymorphism haplotypes, each Samaritan family, with the exception of the Samaritan Cohen lineage, was observed to carry a distinctive Y-chromosome short tandem repeat haplotype that was not more than one mutation removed from the six-marker Cohen modal haplotype.

Most Samaritans lived in Samaria. The Samaritans were different GALILEE from the Jewish people who lived in the Mediterranean Sea Capernaum surrounding areas in Palestine. Samaria •Lake was between Galilee in the north and Galilee Judea and Jerusalem in the south. The shortest way for Jewish people to go north Nazareth• from Jerusalem or south from Galilee was to travel through Samaria. • Caesarea River Jordan River However, for hundreds of years the Jews and the people of Samaria had been SAMARIA enemies. They did not agree about where God’s people should worship. Jews worshipped at the Temple in Jerusalem. The Samaritans had made another place PEREA for worship. It was in their land, on the top of a mountain. Jews and Samaritans hated each other. Jerusalem • Most Jews would not travel through Bethlehem Samaria. They went by a longer route to • avoid Samaria and any contact with Samaritans. JUDEA Dead Sea Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan after he had been asked by a Jewish man: “What must I do to receive eternal life?” Jesus asked him what the Jewish law said. He answered: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength and with all your mind and, love your neighbour as yourself.” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” The man then asked Jesus: “And who is my neighbour?” .

  • Report on Palestine Administration 1922
    REPORT ON PALESTINE ADMINISTRATION 1922. PALESTINE. REPORT ON PALESTINE ADMINISTRATION, 1922. FOREWORD. For Palestine, the principal event of the year 1922 has been the approval by the Council of the League of Nations on July 24th, 1922, of the British Mandate for the administration of the territory. The promulgation, however, of the Mandate, as well as of the French Mandate for the neighbouring territory of Syria, was conditional on certain agreements being reached between the Governments of France and Italy relating to Italian interests in Syria. His Majesty the King in Council enacted, on August 10th, 1922, the Palestine Order in Council, which defined the powers of the High Commissioner, prescribed the formation of an Executive Council and of a Legislative Council, and regulated the constitution and powers of the Palestine Judiciary, with special provisions for religious and for tribal Courts. The constitution and method of election of the Legislative Council were further defined in the Palestine Legislative Council Election Order, which was enacted at the same time. Both were promulgated in Palestine on the 1st of September, 1922. The formal Commission of His Majesty, appointing as High Commissioner and Commander in Chief for Palestine the Right Honourable Sir Herbert Samuel, G.B.E., who had been acting in that capacity since July 1st, 1920, was issued on August 14th. The oaths of office were administered at Jerusalem on September 11th by the Chief Justice. In July, 1922, His Majesty's Government published a White Paper* (Cmd. 1700) which embodied a statement of its policy in relation to Palestine. The statement, while reiterating the purpose of His Majesty's Government enunciated in the Balfour Declaration relating to the establishment in Palestine of a Jewish National Home, defined that purpose and the manner of its execution in terms which left no doubt of the determination of His Majesty's Government to preserve the rights and interests of the non-Jewish population.
