It has been a while since Jesus’ time, and chances are most Jews you know work inside, unlike Jesus.
Sarcasm aside, all of the Jews I know can trace their lineage through Europe after the diaspora in the early second century. One would expect that a pre-diaspora Jew in Judea and a modern Jew who’s family had traveled through Northern Europe for 1800 years would have significantly different skin tones.
- owlmirror 8y agoWhen you look at natives of the Levant they pretty much look like the depictions of an Mediterranean Jesus you will find most commonly in churches around the world. Fair skin and light eyes are not a unheard of trait in that region either. I have a Jordanien friend who has the bluest eyes and blonde hair. The Levant is not Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, these people are well in the phenotypical spectrum of most Mediterranean people, like Greeks, Italians, Turks or Lebanese people.
