[Yuffayur]

Yehiel the ex-member asked me to made this thread some month ago, so today I found the pictures and decided to create it.

As a first remark, Askhenazi are underrated, a normal thing since MENA and Sephardic are probably more athletic,
Iranian jews are numerous in the team.
Blacks are falashas.
and the whole team is more tanned than what I thought.

[Tooting Carmen]

They're darker than Israeli politicians and journalists tend to be. They look heavily East Med and Armenoid in most cases, not really that different to their Palestinian enemies. What are the ethnic origins of numbers 7 and 8? Needless to say, number 7 looks Black African, while (perhaps more surprisingly) number 8 looks outright Indian.

[Cristiano viejo]

Anglo+Jew nightmare.

[Yuffayur]

The team is more homogeanous than what I exepted.

[Tooting Carmen]

Anglo+Jew nightmare.

Yes, his thread about "Blonde/Aryan-looking Jews" was hilarious, not only because of the OWD undertones, but also because he posted people with heavily diluted Jewish ancestry, such as David Beckham!

7 is Ethiopian and 8 is Arabian probably Yemeni.

[Ulla]

7 is Ethiopian and 8 is Arabian probably Yemeni.

7 according to wiki is an Israeli-Bedouin

Many can't pass here (obviously excluding black Israelis).

[Ivan Kramskoï]

Elite class tend to be way whiter ^^

[Tooting Carmen]

Many can't pass here (obviously excluding black Israelis).

But they don't look as dramatically Whiter when compared to 'standard' Levantines as I had imagined.

[randomguy1235]

But they don't look as dramatically Whiter when compared to 'standard' Levantines as I had imagined.

That's not what I'm implying. Many are either too Southern or Northern shifted phenotypically to pass here, not that they're all too European-looking.

[Sikeliot]

They look Sephardi or Mizrahi. Some pass as Sicilian but not all.

[Bloodsport]

To me they look darker than East Med with a few exceptions.

[spanish catalan]

number 19 is circassian

[Ryujin]

Elite class tend to be way whiter ^^

This.

[MisterGaga]

Honestly I don't see an Ashkenazi Jew playing football , easier to see them at some Russian ballets or Best Piano player championships :lol:

[Hubal]

There is something weird about their ears

[Yuffayur]

7 according to wiki is an Israeli-Bedouin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negev_Bedouin

So he's Arabian, that's why I added the "probably" .

[Sikeliot]

Most don't look Ashkenazi to me . Or not fully so.

[MisterGaga]

Ashkenazic are more numerous in the USA than in their own created state.

[Trun]

Honestly I don't see an Ashkenazi Jew playing football , easier to see them at some Russian ballets or Best Piano player championships :lol:

Eden Hazard? I've always thought he is Jewish.


Most don't look Ashkenazi to me . Or not fully so.

Ashkenazi are like 20-25% of Israel's population.

[Yuffayur]

Elite class tend to be way whiter ^^

Sure they used to have white slaves.

[Ulla]

Ashkenazi are like 20-25% of Israel's population.

Interesting, so they are a minority in Israel.

[Yuffayur]

But they don't look as dramatically Whiter when compared to 'standard' Levantines as I had imagined.

Normal since a good part of the team is Iranian and Iraqi.

[Tooting Carmen]

Normal since a good part of the team is Iranian and Iraqi.

Do you mean Jews of Iranian and Iraqi origin?

[Trun]

Interesting, so they are a minority in Israel.

At the same time, they used to look down on Mizrahi in much worse way Northern on Southern Italians from what I've heard.

[Tooting Carmen]

At the same time, they used to look down on Mizrahi in much worse way Northern on Southern Italians from what I've heard.

OWDers and Nordicists like Anglojew want us to believe that Jews like Grant Shapps and Bar Rafaeli are much more prevalent than is really the case.

[Yuffayur]

7 according to wiki is an Israeli-Bedouin

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negev_Bedouin

Are talking about 7 or 8 ??

no 8 is Arabian for sure, do you checked the no 7 or no8 in wiki ?

[Yuffayur]

Interesting, so they are a minority in Israel.

They are the biggest group lol, followed by Sephardics and Iraqis, all I know is that Moroccans are 10-15%

[Ulla]

At the same time, they used to look down on Mizrahi in much worse way Northern on Southern Italians from what I've heard.

I've heard that me too. An Israelian student in Italy told me that not all the Jewish sub-ethinicity are seen in the same way in Israel.

[Ulla]

Are talking about 7 or 8 ??

no 8 is Arabian for sure, do you checked the no 7 or no8 in wiki ?

7 this one

"Taleb Tawatha (or Taleb Twatha Hebrew: טאלב טוואטחה; born June 21, 1992) is an Israeli-Bedouin football player who plays for Maccabi Haifa and the Israel national football team."

Yes so both are Arabians, 7 is Bedouin from Negev and the other is probably from Yemen but not sure.

Actually both are Arabians, according to wiki no 7 is Bedouin from Negev and no 8 is probably from Yemen.

[Ulla]

The 8 is this one

He played for the Israel national football team against Croatia on 13 October 2007.

Yes, I noticed that too, but I wasn't sure lol.

That's funny I would never excepted such strong overlap between Israelis and NW Africans.

[Shah-Jehan]

I expected them to be much lighter.

lol he looks like a MENA version of Guardiola, I think it's normal since Jews have some Iberian.

[Yuffayur]

I expected them to be much lighter.

same here, that killed the myth of middle eastern muslim = wogish ssa admixed. and non muslim = light. btw the team is lighter than these pictures, the lightening is bad.
