No, she is only European Jewish.
Of course she looks Middle Eastern. That’s because she *is*.
Ashkenazi Jews originate in Israel.
Wtf!!!Ashkenazi Jews = Eastern European Jews. are only converts to religion, not Lineage. Their occupation of the land does not make them Middle Eastern.
They occupy that land because it is rightfully their land. from Judea to Sumaria.
we Ashkenazim are genetically half Italian and half middle eastern.
lmao
This that they live in europe doesnt mean they dont come from Middle east. There are very few people who convert to this religion. mostly ppl who follow Jewish religion are really the people who come from Middle east and are descendants of israelites. Even they dont look european like Amy Winehouse also doesnt look fully european. This that they are called ashkenazi (meaning german) does not mean that they are ethnically european.
You have no clue what you’re on about.
She looks Ashkenazi Jewish, what she is
I never she was Jewish.
correction; her eyes were green and her hair was dark brown (brunette)
