Semitic(East mediterranean+southwest asia)

Semitic is a language family. Its speakers are not necessarily related by DNA.
Most times languages are adopted and not always inherited.

These are the semitic genes as far as I know. These genes are very high in Yemenis and most Arabic-speaking people.

What you wanted to do with this thread was to validate if east meds and SW Asians in general are sandniggers

Then why is the Semitic gene label based on Yemeni's and other Arabs, Ethiopian and Somali speakers rather than Assyrians and Mizrahi Jews who are the most ancient and original Semitic speakers?
Unless you are implying that we share the same genes which the data show exactly the opposite.

Mizrahis and Assyrians do share some genes with Arabs and to a lesser extent with Somalis though even though in total all these groups are very different from each other (excluding mizrahis and assyrians)

Which genes do I share with Arabs and Somalis?
Per 23andme I have 98.9% North West Asian (Iranians, Caucasians & Mesopotamians) and 1.1% Levantine.
If what you said was true then I would have had 98.9% Arab and North African DNA not (Iranians, Caucasians & Mesopotamians).

You share Natufian ancestry with them which was heavily carried by proto-semitic speakers inhabiting southern levant/northern arabia a few millenias ago. This admixture exists in all semitic speaking groups however in different amounts. I am not saying that you are close to Arabs or Somalis, I am just saying that there is a little common ancestry between you and them. The same goes for me too. We all have that sandnigger DNA
