So now you're going full Trumpster with "it's all about the genes"?
Here's how West Bank and Gazan Arabs claim of descent from the Philistines and the Canaanites is have it both ways BS:
1. The Philistines were "sea people" living in a narrow strip of land from the eastern Sinai coast to what is now Ashdod. So if genetic heritage is the basis of their claim, they should move out of Judaea and Samaria to there. Genetically, the Philistines were of Mycenaen Greek and Anatolian origin, not semitic, as today's "Palestinians" are.
2. If they're descended from the inland habiting Canaanites, then they're not descended from the Philistines, which makes their adoption of the Romans' genocidally renamed Judaea irrelevant to their claim to all of pre-Islamic Roman-named "Falastina".
So which is it?
I've written elsewhere about why genetics is utterly irrelevant to who's indigenous to the land of Israel:
Like the authors of the study about the European genetic heritage of Ashkenazi Jews, I'm not a Trumpster-style genetic identitarian. 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:
But 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 UMass 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. After conversion his black colleagues ejected him and his African DNA.
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, despite Jesus telling his followers not to seek converts among pagan Romans and Greeks. 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 Hamas' and Fatah's dream of "from the river to the sea".
