I agree that peer-reviewed science is not a matter of opinion, which is why, as a credentialed researcher myself, I provide links and never suggest that any data without a reference can be relied upon. As a researcher yourself, I find it odd that you say nobody can fake a chart yet don't provide a reference for it. You can't get published in any reputable publication, let alone a peer-reviewed journal without references.

Here are two links to peer-reviewed articles written by professors from prestigious universities including Columbia, Einstein College of Medicine and NYU. The first is "Abraham’s Children in the Genome Era: Major Jewish Diaspora Populations Comprise Distinct Genetic Clusters with Shared Middle Eastern Ancestry" https://www.cell.com/ajhg/pdf/S0002-9297(10)00246-6.pdf

The second peer-reviewed article, "The population genetics of the Jewish people" https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00439-012-1235-6

Some highlights:

"Early population genetic studies based on blood groups and serum markers provided evidence that most Jewish Diaspora groups originated in the Middle East and that paired Jewish populations were more similar genetically than paired Jewish and non-Jewish populations (Bonne-Tamir et al. 1978a, b, 1977; Carmelli and Cavalli-Sforza 1979; Karlin et al. 1979; Kobyliansky et al. 1982; Livshits et al. 1991)"..."The observation of a major central tight cluster was supported by statistical metrics for genetic distances (Fst, allelic sharing distances). Nearest neighbor-joining analysis robustly supported shared origins of most Jewish populations with clearly discernible European/Syrian/North African and Middle Eastern branches (Fig. 2; Campbell et al. 2012). Turkish, Greek, and Italian Jews shared a common branch, with Ashkenazi and Syrian Jews forming connections to this branch."

"Jews originated as a national and religious group in the Middle East during the second millennium BCE and have maintained continuous genetic, cultural, and religious traditions since that time, despite a series of Diasporas."

"Here, genome-wide analysis of seven Jewish

groups (Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, Italian, Turkish, Greek, and Ashkenazi) and comparison with non-Jewish groups demonstrated distinctive

Jewish population clusters, each with shared Middle Eastern ancestry, proximity to contemporary Middle Eastern populations, and

variable degrees of European and North African admixture"
