They are quite directly reporting on a research paper published in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06865-0

This seems like either a misguided pro-Palestinian jab at an Israeli paper (I for one very much support Palestine, but that has nothing to do with this article) or even simple antisemitism of the "great replacement" white nationalism variety. I hope I am mistaken.

Haaretz is Israel's most internationally respected Israeli paper. It's generally liberal and sympathetic to Palestinians, so the warning could also be a anti-Palestinian jab at a left-leaning news source.

Oh, right, I forgot about that possibility...

While that may be true of many Haaretz articles, at least in this case this article does not appear to contain anything else but a good enough summary of the two open-access research papers published in Nature, which are linked in the article.

Moreover, the conclusions of the 2 articles about the 3 main migrations that have affected most of the Europe are not controversial or completely new, they just bring more precision and additional details to what was already known.

Why do you say that, for those not familiar with it?

EDIT: And the article seems unaccesible to me right now.

There is a huge propaganda push to equate Israelis with 'Europeans' and 'Americans' to help justify the US and EU looking away from the atrocities being committed in Gaza.

Maybe so, but probably not from Haaretz, which seems to be the foremost Israeli outlet to criticize the government for the atrocities right now.

Even if that were true (I have personally not seen any sign of it, Israeli pro-war propaganda is much more direct), this article has nothing whatsoever of the kind. They do not show nor talk about any kind of commonality between the people living in Israel and those in other parts of Europe.

Such push only exists in your head..
