I know a family of Yemeni Jews (Israelis) who live on Staten Island....they consider themselves Caucasian....lol..believe me....some of them look sort of Italian or Greek...hardly Negroid unless one believes racial myth fantasies from the flick "True Romance" ...lol
There are very few Negroid Jews that I know of and are most likely the result of intermarriage (someone correct me if they are indig Jews in Ghana or the Congo, please).....The Falashas are a hybrid at most and not terribly similar to West Africans which is what the vernacular "black" usually infers.
Therefore, I doubt there is much chance for what we would consider a "black" Israeli PM...they seem to prefer Ashkenazi ethnic Jews most with Hebrew rather than Germanic-Polish-Russian or Hungarian surnames.
There are also still many Israelis who don't buy the Falasha thing and in fact don't buy that all the Russkies streaming in are real Jews either.
I know a lot of Israelis including those from all 3 main ethnic groups
respectfully.
Your White if your not Black, Brown Asian or Indian.
Funny enough, I had a southern Baptist fundamentalist as a "world history" teacher in high school. The first chapter was (I can remember it like it was yesterday) "Ancient Man." Mr. Johnson, puts the history book aside, and opens up the Bible and starts reading Genesis to the class. Most of the class was giggling. So, I asked him if Adam and Eve had only sons, how did the rest of us get here? Was there incest back then? His answer was that there were "multiple Adam-Eves" all over the world...some white, some black, some brown, and some yellow.
Well,there IS that deep in Africa tribe of blacks,with the Cohen DNA,but they aren't moving to Israel. :-)
Was Noah Anglo Saxson?
Was Abraham and Moses Black? I think most of us that are Caucasion have been taught that most if not all Biblical Characters were White..
What does Saxson mean anyways
I never knew that. When I was in Manhattan in 88 at the OB-GYN with my then wife, one of the first things the MD asked was about TS and if we were Jewish...I believe they wanted to do an amnio for a study. I told him that I thought I was pure goy or so I thought till this thread. Now, I'm convinced I'm descended from some ancient Israelite gal who was tending sheep by the Med and was swept away by a raiding party of Iberians who then traded her to some Cornish Celts around 700BC or so. LOL...whadday think?...plausible?
That's a pretty incredible thing for him to have said. :-)
But, she's an Indian Jew. Indian's are not "white." They are Caucasian...but not white.
So what was the race of Noah? no-one knows that's the point...
The FLOOD OF NOAH can be found in various forms,all over the world and in every religion/mythology.
I'm with you....and what about other human species existing concurrently as they evolved.
Danger Will Robinson!
American Indian?
But there isn't anything in thes OT to say how Mongoloids (the third race) came about.
Saxon not Saxson...my! but you should be the absolute last person on this thread complaining about a person's spelling or grammer.
Semites...the original defintion which includes Israelites and their neighbors were all considered Caucazoid to the best of my knowledge.
I am not complaining....
