I've met several Pashtos online in discussions about DNA. My father's line is Q, which makes
up 5% of the Jewish male population of today, and first was
labeled as Q-M242, or Q1b1a, then with further testing now is called QBZ67. One of his
matches with the 1st test was a Pashto. I then figured we had a connection through DNA.
Charles Goldfoot, brother also Q (M-242)/Q1b1a |
Maurice Goldfoot, fighting under "Billy Meshke" of Q1b1a (Y haplogroup) DNA updated to: QBZ67 |
My father is related by DNA with about 16% of the Pashtuns! This shows we were connected most likely before 721 BCE when the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel were taken by force by the Assyrians.

My father's line
would start in Germany after leaving Jerusalem in 70CE with the Romans destroying everything.
At one point they received the surname of Goldfus.
From there they finally ended up in Lithuania at least by the 1800s CE.
"Some anthropologists lend credence to the oral traditions of the Pashtun tribes themselves. For example, according to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, the theory of Pashtun descent from Israelites is traced to Nimat Allah al-Harawi, who compiled a history for Khan-e-Jehan Lodhi in the reign of Mughal Emperor Jehangir in the 17th century. The 13th century Tabaqat-i Nasiri discusses the settlement of immigrant Bani Israel at the end of the 8th century CE in the Ghor region of Afghanistan, settlement attested by Jewish inscriptions in Ghor. Historian André Wink suggests that the story "may contain a clue to the remarkable theory of the Jewish origin of some of the Afghan tribes which is persistently advocated in the Persian-Afghan chronicles."

Pashtos visiting in Jerusalem Here they are at the Western Wall. Their family genealogy is well kept. They say they are descended from King Saul. |
There are conflicting stories that could have to do with the fact that Babylonia came to Israel
and took more people away in 597 and 596 BCE as well. So some could have become slaves
at different periods.
"The haplogroup R1a (Y-DNA) is found at a frequency of 51.02% among the Pashtun people. Paragroup Q-M242 (xMEH2, xM378) (of Haplogroup Q-M242 (Y-DNA)) was found at 16.3% in Pashtuns. Haplogroup Q-M242 is also found at a frequency of 18% in Pashtuns in the Afghan capital of Kabul.
After 3,000 years of separation, it is amazing that there is this connection. Though I haven't found anyone yet that shares any actual chromosome segments of our DNA yet, we came from the very same branch. I know there are several listed under my brother's Y haplogroup at FTDNA.
The fact is that both Arabs and many Jews both carry the male Y haplogroup of J, J1c3d, or the Cohen gene, as Jews call it. It also shows that our Biblical history is accurate in saying that we both came from Abraham. The story is that we came from Abraham's son, Isaac, his 2nd son by Sarah. It was when Abraham and Sarah thought that she was barren that she gave permission for him to father her young Egyptian handmaid, and so he took her as a wife and she bore Ishmael who became the father of the Arabs.
As I understand it, they live in Pakistan in their own territory in tribes, and live in the same
area as their clans which sounds like a reservation similar to our Native Americans do in Oklahoma. They follow their own well-developed culture with their own standards called Pashtunwali-a set of ethics, as well as being Sunni Muslims. Many light candles on Friday night such as we Jews do. There are other things that they do which caught the attention of Dr. Shalva Weil of Hebrw University in Jerusalem, who traveled to Pakistan and studied them, coming back feeling they were indeed people of our lost Ten Tribes. "Prof. Shalva Weil is a Senior Researcher at The Research Institute for Innovation and Education at the Hebrew University. She focuses on Indian Jewry, Ethiopian Jewry, and the Ten Lost Tribes and specializes in qualitative methods, violence, gender, ethnicity, education, religion, and migration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GROcMlaGTA. She's a Social Anthropologist. In 1991, she curated an exhibition at Beth Hatefutsoth: the Museum of the Jewish Diaspora on the Ten Lost Tribes entitled "Beyond the Sambatyon: the Myth of the Ten Lost Tribes."

Lately, the police in Pakistan have been rousting them in their search for ISIS terrorists, causing much pain and grief. One problem is that militants are hiding in Afghanistan with the purpose of fomenting violence inside Pakistan.
