Demogaphic Response to HAMAS's Raid (October 2023)
An analysis of the trends by population group and religion reveals that this new national trend (of an increase in TFR) was driven by a divergence in the fertility patterns of Jewish women alone. From January to May 2024, the fertility rate among Jewish women climbed back to 3.10 children per woman. In contrast, among all other religious groups, the downward trend in fertility continued during these months, falling to 2.68, 1.62, 1.64, and 1.24 children per woman for Muslim, Christian, Druze, and “Other” (without religious classification) women, respectively.

MUC19 genes in America
Modern-day Mexicans have the highest frequency of the Denisovan-specific MUC19 variants, with about 33% of the population carrying this version of the gene. About 20% of Peruvians carried the variant, whereas only around 1% of Colombians and Puerto Ricans did. The researchers think this is because, on average, Mexicans have more Indigenous American DNA in their genomes than the other populations do.
When the team investigated which archaic human group had passed on these gene variants, they were surprised to see that the Denisovan section of the gene was sandwiched between Neanderthal-specific DNA. The most likely explanation for this is that Neanderthals first acquired these variants from mating with Denisovans, and when Neanderthals later mated with modern humans, they passed on this surprise genetic parcel.
The New Guineans carry the highest percentage of Denisovan genes. Probably they look like the original Denisovans (pic). The men are muscular and the girls are not ugly.

The Yellow Line
New Frontier is being marked on the land. Pic: ZAHAL's American caterpillars planting yellow concrete markers. HAMAS lost about half of Gaza's surface. Arafat's vision of the Jews being corralled into the sea is materializing, only that they are being herded into the beach.
P.S.: 56% of the Gaza Strip is now under Israeli/American control. The best times in the Middle East were when Britain ruled it all a hundred years ago. Maybe America will be willing to take up the torch.

Possible Ischemia
De algo hay que morir.
P.S. No ischemia, just too much exercise for this sedentary alte kacker. BP fell to "insufficient".

Synagogue Architecture in PreWWII Hungary
There were no authentic Ashkenazi sources, so they took inspiration from the Morisco style (Arabs in Spain).
Look at the houses. Jaszbereny was exactly like that. My grandfather owned five or six on the main street. My other grandfather collected "Berhazakat" - multistore apartment buildings in Vac. Collecting real estate is a passion I inherited from them.
