Jews dna is unique and dates back 2000 yrs ago when we were living in Israel.

Do you realize this is typical of any closely related ethnic group? I have unique sequences in my DNA that link me back to my father's ethnic group as they came from a fairly small island. My wife, on the other hand, lacks many distinguishing markers as her ancestors lived in an area where people frequently bred with people from other regions.

Only the Ashkenazi can be grouped with any surety. Otherwise, Jewish heritage is amongst the harder ethnic groups to genetically differentiate, specifically due to a scarcity of unique markers. That's neither a good nor a bad thing, it's just pretty typical. If you think your statement suggests exceptionality in any way, it just shows you don't know what you're talking about.
