Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi more important because she is blond and has blue eyes?

I'll make a contribution to the beloved TA Whiteness topic but maybe it's relevant:

Is the Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi politically more attended and thus important because she is blond and has blue eyes?

Only because a minimal percentage of her ancestry being Yamnaya like many Palestinians even Arabs. It leads to Zionists having to point out a 1 out of 100 Palestinian in their idea to be ironic and hypocritical of palestinians, indigeneity wise. They on the other hand can’t give explanation to their 100% Mizrahim who appear to be blonde or redhaired you would find more frequently than Palestinian Arabs.

Jokes aside, most of the world is eurocentric.
"White" features in general are more valued than other races.

While I am no fan of most aspects of "woke", isn't it at least in part a corrective to this obsession (or at least preference) with whiter/lighter features that many people in the world have?

Somehow she still manages to look Semitic despite that. If you asked me where in Europe she could pass, I'd say only the Med area.

This 'woke' thing is more complex than just beauty standards. But yes, I think there's a reaction against this preference for lighter features/pigmentation.

i agree with you 100%. very blonde and blue eyed, but very Levantine looking.

Arabs are very obsessed with these features, I kid you not, tiktok comments in regards to how common blonde blue eyes are in the Levant ( by other levantines ) is a joke. I've read comments where the delusionists were saying majority of Syrians are blonde blue eyed, even other Syrians were refuting some of them. Alot of Arab tiktokers that are famous is solely due to the fact they look white.

This is why I think those who claim that the Arab world's problems are mostly due to Islam and traditionalism, and being insufficiently Westernised, aren't entirely correct: Westernisation brings a lot of problems and complexes of its own.
