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.
You have no clue what you’re on about.
She looks Ashkenazi Jewish, what she is
I never she was Jewish.
