Yeah agreed, there's very little overlap. Sicilians look more like Sephardim.

I have noticed, many Jews in Budapest look mongoloid admixed.

Some Jews do have those kind of features yes, but this is probably quite old admixture.

This is the Egyptian depiction of a Habiru tribesman (and some think, with decent validity, that Habiru = Hebrew)

Plent of Jews do. There is a reason for that "Italians are not jews" joke. A lot of people would claim to not tell the difference between the two and a nordicist meme is that Greeks and Italians are Jews or something. However the genetic relatedness is often a bit exaggerated as it's sorta the equivalent of the relatedness of Romanians and Serbs. Not to mention that the founder effect has probably had a huge difference on jews.

An Indian being beaten in chess by a female has got to be one of the most embarassing and rare experiences in the universe.

It's like a Black, Latino or American getting a higher grade than us in calculus.
