That third photo!

Some Palestinian men, look so Jewish, it's a wonder ...
Reminds me of Edward Said. Another very Jewish looking Palestinian.

The first photo reminds me of the Pakistani physicist ... Hmm, gonna have to Google his name. Pervez Hoodboy, I think ...

Dupe.

Jews and Palestinians were originally the same people. It's just that the former got whiter through centuries of mixing with Europeans, while the latter got darker through centuries of mixing with Arabians and Egyptians.

I think that's what the Israeli historian Shlomo Sand articulated too, iirc.

I've definitely noticed that the PLO and more Islamic orgs have looked more "Arab", while secular, Christian and intellectual types looked ...

True.

I remember reading, in Rushdie's autobiography, that he and Alan Yentob used to joke that they were twins.

Then there's Brian George, the actor that played Raj's father, in TBBT.

And, one the other way around, the Indian actor Erick Avari.

There's definitely a continuum, aesthetics wise, however uncomfortable that idea is to people at either end.

Mix a Jew with a Somali and you more-or-less get an Indian.

[Latinus]

Pseudo mestizo? Not at all.

Lol, could be the setup of some Russell Peters bit.

I think there are Kashmiris that have their own "lost tribe" mythos. So could be more direct!
