However, despite the evident genetic linkage with the ancient Middle East, many Jews, including most in the United States, are European in appearance. Many of Israel's leaders have looked as if they would be more at home in Warsaw or Moscow than the Israel of Bible times

Of course they do. Don't forget that a very large East European Jewish community comes from Khazars who are not Semitic but Caucasian. Then there are the Spanish Jews and the Ethiopian Jews with their own genetic lineage.

But we are talking about a girl who was came from a village in the heart of Israel, where little if any of the global gene pool mixing took place. If she looked anything out of the oridnary some mention would have been made.

Portraying her as a spoiled teenager is only insult to injury that completes the false impression that somehow people were always "just like us" and ethnically mixed and indistinct as we would like them to be.
