No, it shows samaritans (<1000 worldwide) being as close as you can reasonably expect to their ancient Israelite forefathers, although they are technically a different tribe and religion than jews even though they were the same people as ancient jews. Levant christians are also closely related, likely because they have a good amount of ancient Israelite/Canaanite ancestry, along with less mixing with the Arabs. A genetic distance of ~0.45 shows significant mixing with arab populations, and that is the closest that modern jews get. It gets worse the farther out you get, ashkenazi jews larping as ancient jews is the same as poles larping as spaniards, that’s how different they are genetically.
