Oh, that's right, they have no indigenous roots.

[Smeagol]

Why none born in the Holy Land?!:coffee::rolleyes:

Oh, that's right, they have no indigenous roots.

True, Arabids are the real Israelites.

[Yehiel]

Why none born in the Holy Land?!:coffee::rolleyes:

Oh, that's right, they have no indigenous roots.

Not all Jews need to be born in the holy land to be Jews, they could not be Jews genetically. But they are still Jews, what a stupid statement.

:picard2:
Ignore her. She supports Hamas and believes the Aravim are the true Jews. What a putz!
They all look Israelite

[EyeOfTheTiger]

all of them can pass easily in israel

[Grace O'Malley]

A lot of the Jewish people are obviously very European. They appear to be more a European people than Middle-Eastern. The top 4 people would blend in every European population.

They were born in Europe and could be converts as there is not many Jews left in the places they were born

[Yehiel]

all of them can pass easily in israel

Yeah because Jews come in all shapes, colors etc anyone can pass in Israel

[EyeOfTheTiger]

Yeah because Jews come in all shapes, colors etc anyone can pass in Israel

Is the second man a real person?

[madridi4verrr]

Is the second man a real person?

Possibly :D

[Anomander Rake]

None of them is a real jew.
Who are you exactly to say who is Jewish and who is not? Moreover, Judaism is both a religion and a national movement.

That statement is very offensive to Jewish people, and I find it even more offensive that there are actually people like FaerieQueene, randomguy1235 and TheViridiana that agrees with this.

You all should be ashamed of yourself.

[Kastrioti1443]

They all pass as Levantines

Don;t be ridiculous, not so much at least, please. Only the dark north african guy in the end can pass as levantine, no one else.

[Anomander Rake]

Why none born in the Holy Land?!:coffee::rolleyes:

Oh, that's right, they have no indigenous roots.
That's funny, as you don't know their genetics. Your claim is based on... what? nothing.

What about you? half Palestinian, right? Your Palestinian side is probably heavily mixed with Saudis, Bedouins, Syrians, Lebanese, Egyptian, Iraqis and probably even some Sudanese. Ashkenazi Jews have about 40% (average) European DNA, and 60% Near Eastern (ancient Levantine, Israelite). Far more than you... probably.

Moreover - There is not such thing as "indigenous roots". If there would have been, than all of the human beings on earth should have go back to Eastern Africa. There are, however, cultural roots... and the Jewish culture is based on Zion (modern Israel and some of it's surroundings). If you ignore it, I'm sorry to say it - your are stupid.

אתה ישראלי

[Anomander Rake]

Not true. They would pass easily in Israel. About 1.5 million Israelis look exactly like them, and a lot more resemble them very very much.

[Anomander Rake]

אתה ישראלי
Yup.

אגב, למה רשמת "מצדה" עם ס'?

[Yehiel]

Yup.

אגב, למה רשמת "מצדה" עם ס'?

I am not fluent.. You ask why masada is with s?

[Anomander Rake]

I am not fluent.. You ask why masada is with s?
Yeah. In Hebrew it's written as "Metsada", even though you could (and should) write and pronounce it as "s", because "ts" is somewhat new in Hebrew.

[Yehiel]

Yeah. In Hebrew it's written as "Metsada", even though you could (and should) write and pronounce it as "s", because "ts" is somewhat new in Hebrew.

I know how to say it in hebrew but you are correct מצדה is correct. I will change. I only can read hebrew for religious reasons but i should be fluent sometime soon.

[Anomander Rake]

Don't worry, the average Israeli isn't really flaunt. There are a lot of mistakes in the "regions" of male/female words, like: a lot of people say "Shnei shniot" and not "Shtei shniot", as should... and it's very common mistake.

There are a lot of rules that most people don't know about... it's really confusing, actually.

[Myth]

Yeah, real jews don't play sports.

That is a lie, I played hockey in my youth as well as baseball and wrestling, I was also a boyscout. My father also regularly played baseball and was a softball player. My cousins are into amateur wrestling as well. My great grandpa on my dad's mothers side was a wrestler as well as a boxer.

Yes when ask whats up i always get ma shlameq and ma shlamqa mixed up. It is pretty confusing with the masculine and feminine. You are religious Jew or secular?

[Anomander Rake]

I consider myself as secular Jew, even though I am very proud of my Jewish ancestry and I want to keep up with it. I can decide if I believe in G-d or not... I want to believe but I have some difficulties :/

Ahh i see.. I am modern orthodox.

[Anomander Rake]

Ahh i see.. I am modern orthodox.
I have some family members who are modern orthodox. Do you pray by the Sepharadic system or the Ashkenazi?

[Yehiel]

Sefardi.

[Anomander Rake]

Sefardi.
Nice. I love the melody of the prays.

[Yehiel]

Nice. I love the melody of the prays.

Yes it is beautiful. Have you ever listen to traditional sefardi music?

[Anomander Rake]

Yes it is beautiful. Have you ever listen to traditional sefardi music?
Yeah, I love the "Lecha Dodi" song by the way. It's Sepharadi melody is just beautiful...

[Yehiel]

Yeah, I love the "Lecha Dodi" song by the way. It's Sepharadi melody is just beautiful...

Yes Sefardi and Mizrahi have a much bigger middle eastern influence then the Ashkenazi traditional music & middle eastern music is beautiful, the melody.

this guy looks like a chechen or dagestani.

[roro4721]

Many Ashkenazi Jews are just European converts. They don't belong in Palestine!
Should all Catholic Arabs just establish a country for themselves in Italy or something?
Judaism is a religion not an ethnicity! Most Jews can't genetically trace their roots back to Israel's borders so why then should they live there as natives?

[Kalimtari]

good/healthy looking peops

[aherne]

Nothing Jewish whatsoever among these people. That makes them very atypical for Jews, who in vast majority of cases show reliable Semitic/Levantine elements inherited from ancient Hebrews.

[Rambo07]

They look like Russian Jews for the most part, save for the last guy.

[SkyBurn]

The girl's name is Anya Davidovich, which sounds rather Russian Jewish. Furthermore, she lives in America yet plays for Israel, so I'm fairly sure she's Jewish.

As for Vladislav Bykanov:


"For me, representing Israel is everything. I have never felt like I was anything else (than Israeli) ... I grew up and got into my sport in Israel, and everyone in the world sees me as Israeli, not Russian or anything else."
