Who are modern Jews closest to? Southern Italians and Sicilians. for whatever reason.

So, Europeans.

No way. Maybe Sephards, which are only 20% or so of the worlds jews!

Most jews are Ashkenazim- white guys with big heads and big noses (different looking from Levantine noses) that look like they are caucasian/Eurasian (which they definitely are. look up "Khazaria" .) No way does David Schwimmer, Larry King, David Letterman, Ben Stein, Barbara Streisand, etc. look like Italians or Sicilians. They look like what they are; eastern european or Eurasian.

I can agree on the others, but David Schwimmer does look like he could be south Italian.

Ashkenazis are also genetically very close to Sephardis and to southern Italians/Sicilians.

Either way, Ashkenazis and Sephardis are closer to SE Europeans than to any Levantines modern or ancient.

Ashkenazi's look like they are from the Causcaus region. Genetic or otherwise, they look like they are eastern european if anything. If David Schwimmer was Italian I would think he would be either a 25% or less, to me he does not look like he could be southern italian unless he was mixed.

Updated poll.

See these maps of Khazaria? Looks Eurasian? Makes more sense. There is a bunch of white people living in israel, and so what if they have heritage that is supposively from the Levant? If you follow the chain of revolution, everyone passed through that area, so that makes them no different than anyone else. And who knows how much blood they have left from those old days? They are still in the same longitude so to speak, just higher up than the levantine. It makes sense that Ashkenazim would be closer to Europeans, if Eurasians are to be closer to Europeans than Levantines.

Ashkenezis can look southerner like this guy

I've looked at some pictures of European Jews from before World War 2. Some of them looked European, some of them looked Middle Eastern, many looked like a combination of both.

I think the thing we must remember is, Ashkenazis and Sephardis are genetically almost the same population.
