One thing though, many Jews today are part European, due to intermarriage after leaving the Holy Land almost 2000 years ago.
OTOH, Egypt has been conquered and ruled by everybody under the sun for 2500 years. Presumably considerable foreign blood made its way into the population.
I’m amused by this criticism, since quite a while back Lou Gossett, an African-American, played Sadat in a TV movie. It offended the hell out of Egyptians, despite the observable fact that Gosset was very nearly a dead ringer for Sadat.
I suspect most of these critics are American or Euros, not Egyptians.
It is obvious, BTW, that as one goes south in Egypt people tend to become considerably darker of complexion.
