short answer: ethnic jews are indigenous to the levant, theyâre one of the ethnic groups indigenous to palestine (i dont claim current âisraelâ as legitimate for an array of political reasons I dont want to get into).Â
long answer: After jews were chased out of ancient israel (or biblical israel) by the romans some 2000 years ago and became a diaspora they ended up living in different countries (obviously) and eventually ended up intermixing with the local population they ended up living with, which is why now thereâs different jewish ethnic groups such as the mizrahim (jews with middle eastern/north african/central asian admixture), the sephardim (jews with roots in medieval spain/jews with spanish admixture), the beta israel (jews with ethiopian admixture), the cochin jews (jews with indian admixture),the  kaifeng jews (jews with Chinese admixture) etcâŠ. also this is why by the way jews GENERALLY SPEAKING donât look the same even though theyâre part of the same ethnic groups (((though that said although again generally speaking thereâs no one âjewish lookâ because of all the admixture jews have as a result of being a diaspora for so long weâve grown to deem long noses and âjewfroesâ to be stereotypical jewish features))
-also this is just a sidetone but the only reason I used the word âjewfroâ is because thatâs the only way I feel people would understand what i meant when I said curly hair were deemed to be a  stereotypical jewish feature, though i can guarantee anyone reading this this isnât a word i normally use.Â
- also YET another sidetone but Iâm 1/10th jewish (mizrahi) and although thatâs definitely not enough for me to claim being ethnically jewish I do still want to post my results (from this ancestry test I took a while back) as proof (I guess) to all the people who constantly say otherwise that âjewishâ is in fact more than a religionÂ
also ( I guess yet another sidetone though it is relevant to the question???) I want to say that with how ridiculed stereotypical jewish features usually are no matter how white passing some ethnic jews may be if you ask me it doesnât mean that theyâre white. its a guarantee that neo nazis donât see ethnic jews as such, ashkenazim included. plus I remember reading this study that said that a full ashkenazi jew is on average 50 percent european and 50 percent middle eastern so even biologically, really, ethnic jews not being white is a fact.
