Interesting study from 2010 on the genetic diversity of Ashkenazi Jews. Food for thought.

This not surprising .
Jews got some caracteristics of the population with
witch they have been living for a long time .
I met a Russian jew once and she looked very siberian .
In my book most of European Jews looks quite White cuz they for centuries mixed with the local population and they pick up a lot Euro genes.
What about Sephardic (those from Portugal/Spain mainly)?
I don't know about all Ashkenazis, but Russian Jews often look just Russian to me and not very Semitic.
