Are "black israelites" really israelities?

This is a gross exaggeration. Falasha are same as other Habesha: East African+Semitic mixes. Also ancient Hebrews weren't entirely Semitic in look: they also had CM, Alpine, East Med from people that used to live in Levant prior to Semitic influx 5000 years ago. These types do not exist in Habesha (obviously) or their Judaean versions (Falasha), which proves to me that latter have no Jewish blood whatsoever. In Israel there was a big discussion whether or not they qualify for "the rights of return" (obviously they didn't) but for some reason in the end they decided to import them.

Ashkenazis, on the hand, are Judaean-European mixes. When CM, Alpine, East Med mixes with European, results look European enough (Mila Kunis would be a good example). It is only the Semitic element that makes them stand out
