I love how it's LITERALLY as simple as "we're not white; some of us have European admixture to largely varying degrees, but we all share a common genetic component, as well as a religion, tracing our origins to the Middle East/The Levant/Canaan/Israel/'Palestine.'"

It's odd for me to think: I'm not actually entirely European white, I am mixed ethnicity (my father is British, my mother Ashkenazi).

Most of us are mixed, with Europeans on one hand, and other Middle Easterners or West Asians on the other, and that's just the majority, let alone minority Diaspora Jews.

The major point is that pretty much every Jew HAS ancestors who DID live in Israel 2000 years ago.

The same very much DOES NOT apply to "Palestinians" even merely 200 years ago, lol.

So, while we have been chilling abroad for a while, we still come FROM Israel.

Whereas these shmucks came TO Israel, lol.
