I've already replied to this DNA as a basis for denying Jewish sovereignty in the land of Israel, an argument that would never be applied to the French, Germans, Italians, Chinese, Spaniards, Portuguese, Brits, Irish, Swedes, Finns. If you apply an argument to Jews not applied elsewhere, you are the very definition of anti-semitism:
"Since I've read 4 books by Richard Dawkins, I'm hardly a science denier. But I'm also no Trumpster who thinks national and religious identity is all about the genes.
I'd guess that the authors of this study supporting your thesis about the European genetic heritage of Ashkenazi Jews, aren't Trumpster-style genetic identitarians either: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2964539/
This Harvard Medical School study of the DNA of 11th to 15th century Jews from a cemetery in Erfurt, Germany shows a mix of European and Middle Eastern heritage:
The argument is not about the genetic facts, but their legal and political significance. I see none at all. Here's why:
The black convert to Judaism, Julius Lester, was ejected from the UMass African-American studies department, in an updated version of the "no Jews and dogs allowed" signs outside restricted clubs and hotels. Prof Lester's black African DNA didn't save his place in the A.A.S. dept.
For different reasons, both Jews and the UMass African studies department practiced Lamarckian genetics, with acquired characteristics viewed as inheritable--in the Jewish version transmissible through Jewish mothers, like chicken soup.
DNA doesn't determine citizenship and sovereignty rights, unless you're a third generation Korean in Japan, who's legally a gaijin despite speaking no Korean.
In 2000 Germany changed its blood based citizenship law that in 1992 had given the Stalin-deported Volga Germans citizenship in Germany after its Ossi-Wessi wall-busting elopement, but denied it to the German-born children and grandchildren of its Turkish immigrants.
Conversion in 1st and 2nd century Rome was a regular occurrence. More universalist Christianity replaced Judaism as the monotheism of choice after Paul ditched Jewish dietary laws as a condition for conversion. Then and now the Romans love their prosciutto and jamon. Presumably, many formerly pagan Romans who'd converted to Jewish monotheism then joined the Jesus cult to get back their prosciutto and gamberoni. Pompei pizza with salami e mozzarella bufala was still more than one and a half millenia in the future.
The Separdic Jews and the Arabs living in the land you call Palestine share DNA. But this is meaningless in terms of citizenship and sovereignty rights. Belief supersedes biology since it's a belief in Islamic supremacy and the land as Muslim waqf that drives both Hamas and Fatah Palestinian nationalism, if you bother to listen to what they actually say.
Cory Gil-Shuster's Ask Project has done hundreds of video interviews and they answer very clearly: Palestine is theirs, and theirs only. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+ask+project
Since you believe there's a genetic basis for denying residence in Israel to Ashkenazi Jews, the next question is: do you prefer deportation or extermination? What about the descendants of the 800000+ Sephardic Jews who came from Muslim countries from Morocco to Iran and the black Falasha Jews from Ethiopia?
I agree with the late Nobel literature winner, Amos Oz that, for its survival, Israel must go for a two state solution since a one state solution will be Arab by default:
But I may not be objective since I learned from reading Tales of Love and Darkness that Oz's mother and my maternal grandmother both came from Rivne, Ukraine. I guess Oz's genetic heritage qualified him to live in Brooklyn with my grandma but not in Jerusalem.
But it won't be possible until Palestinian activist Bassam Eid and the Son of Hamas founder get their wish and the Palestinians are detached from their hostage-taking, human shield kleptocrats living in luxury in Doha.

Now you can tell me if Amos Oz's solution is acceptable or if you'd prefer to dream of "from the river to the sea".
