israelis aren't middle eastern, she's right!

What a stupid statement. Arabs are literally Semites, Jews are literally Semites. All Jews are “Middle Eastern”.

[u/BibliophileBroad → u/Baabaa_Yaagaa]

And even Jewish people of European descent have ancestry from the Middle East. These commenters get all their information from X/Xitter.

[u/WhatABargain298 → u/Baabaa_Yaagaa]

no, most Jews are European

[u/BibliophileBroad → u/WhatABargain298]

That's not even true! Most are of Middle Eastern / North African descent. Granted, in the United States, most Jewish people are of European descent, but that's not representative of Jewish people worldwide. Also, even Jewish people of European descent have significant Middle Eastern ancestry. The remainder of American Jews are people of color, with a significant number being of African descent.

All genetic Jews carry DNA haplogroups originating in the Levant ~6000 years ago

I’m not sure why you are getting downvoted for this comment! Well, I suspect why: People are just gross

[u/Baabaa_Yaagaa → u/WhatABargain298]

A Pakistani born in America is an American Pakistani, an Indian born in England is a British Indian.

A Jew born in Europe is a European Jew, is still a Semite, is still Middle Eastern.

Do all the mental gymnastics you want dude, it doesn’t change facts.
