Neither Palestinians nor Syrian Jews look particularly like ancient Jews. The best proxies are probably Druze, Samaritans, Mizrahim and Lebanese. Then maybe West Bank Palestinians.
But no, I don't think Jesus (or other ancient Jews) looked like that.

They depicted Jesus in a bit harsh way for some reason.

I don't really know but this seems like an excellent answer to me.
