Just to add another angle to this discussion, i had tested my genes in the Genographic project of National Geographic and got my haplogroup as R2. And i joined an online forum for all R2s, r2dna.org.
Guess what , where the majority of R2s come from ( after India and Pakistan ) ? It is mostly Jewish and Greek/Turkish folks. These jews are Askhenazi ( i think ) scattered in the USA, but mostly of Central European/Russian/Ukrainian origin. And the other R2s are from Turkey and eastern Greece.
Needless to say, in this r2dna forum, some of these of Turkish/Greek origin folks are trying deperately to prove that their R2 is very different from the Indian R2!. Obviously they do not want to have to do anything with Indians, but the haplogroup clearly shows they are R2. SO they come up with all kinds of fancy migration routes to prove that they do not have Indian blood.
As a FYI for folks here, R2 haplogroup along with R1 originated in Central Asia, and R1 is the mother haplogroup of R1a and R1b, the modern European genes. r2 is considered a cousin of these and the folks mostly are found in Central Asia, Iran, and India/Pakistan.
I am curious what is with the rape of Jews by Slavs? Is it true?

( I do understand this forum is for IQ, but in any discussion on IQ, the haplogroups and genes invariably turn up as an another factor !)
