Mizrahi and a lot of other native Jewish people do. Including Palestinians, who are mostly Jewish genetically even if most no longer practice the religion.
Ashkenazi, aka most European/white Jews do not have any real genetic heritage in the region, being mostly made up of converts with exceedingly small amounts of the original families that went north. Ashkenazis are what most Jewish Zionists are; which im sure is just coincidence.
That I dont know. I do know that due to Judaism being a religion, that has caused more mixing in their genetics with groups from other regions. From the same Wikipedia source it basically says their genetics are more fanned out depending on the diaspora.
Do the Jewish people have any genetic history linking them there too?
(I’m not pro Israel, nor am I setting up an argument. I don’t know and am genuinely curious)

Yes, there were claims that the Romans forced all the Jews out of Judea but evidence indicates it was relatively small groups.
What actually happened was conversion under the Caliphates after the Arab conquests.

Oh yeah, good and interesting point. It’s not exactly an apples to apples comparison.
