Raab's mother is English. In any case, many European Jews are really mischlings, while even leaving that aside, various studies have shown Ashkenazim to have a higher percentage of light hair and eyes than Spaniards, Southern Italians and Greeks.

Both look Anglo-Saxon with a little Keltic vibe. Extremely atypical for their ethnic group...

I thought Taurids had much pointier noses than that.

Although not as pointy, the slope in the end still looks Taurid to me.

Would you have guessed that either of them were Jewish had I not mentioned it?

I wouldn't guess them as specifically such, no.
