This is her genealogy: http://www.geni.com/people/Gigi-Hadid/6000000032560698388
Gorgeous woman. She’s got the exotic features of Middle East and the angelic beauty of Europe.
She looks very Dutch to me. I don’t see any “exotic” features of her father.
Look at her lips, bushy eyebrows and nose.
Yes, I believe that most of her beautiful features are Dutch though – eye colour, face shape, cheeks….
Bushy eyebrows are exclusive to the Middle East?
She looks like the average white girl. I don’t see anything middle eastern. She went on her moms side. All of her sisters look very ethnic though also her kid might look more ethnic then her because shes not actually white. Genetics can be funny like that.
I wouldve thought half Latina she kinda looks like Fergie and fergie is half Mexican
Fergie is not half Mexican. She has no Mexican heritage. She’s just a WASP.
Actually Fergie has said that she does have Mexican “strains.” I’m not sure what that means but I’m assuming she has Mexican or Spanish in her. She also said in an interview that she has some Native American in her as well. So she is not a WASP.
“palestinian”… ?
israel or “palestinian territories”
Palestinian people exist. And Many Arabs lived in Israel for many generations before the current day Israeli settlers.
yes, arabs have lived there, but there have never been arabs called “palestinians”!
its just an invention (by arafat) to have a tool to go in a war with the jewish state.
arabs came to israel for work then and stayed in the region. arabs surnames indicate their real local roots.
israeli arabs are welcome and respected in israel. calling themselves “palestinian” is just a provocation.
Okay there was no official Country called Palestine but i’m sure the Arabs identify themselves Palestinians because their ancestors lived in a certain geographical area for centuries.
I doubt every single person who calls themselves a Palestinian is just doing it to annoy Jews. It’s just their identity.
The term “Palestinian” has historically been used simply to identify residents of that specific region (including Jews). The term was invented by a Greek in the 5th century BCE, when the population there was majority Jewish.
The term “Palestinian” was taken on by Arab nationalists living in that area in the early 20th century, and that’s the meaning it’s commonly held since.
Half the population of Jordan is Palestinian, and, appropriately enough, their future king Hussein, Crown Prince of Jordan is half-Palestinian himself (and one quarter English).
Well i read somewhere some Palestinians share genetic connections to Jews.
Derp.
Oh , sorry. i havn’t heard thats an ethnic group ,”palestinians”? its an invention .. its definately not an ethnic group and her ancestors are probably egyptian\jordanian or mixed with other greeks\itaians .
You can find Egyptian and jordanian people with
greeks\itaians ancestry far up in their arses . You know, if you know Jack about middle eastern history you probably never would have puked that stupid shit. They’ve heavily basterdize by many group of people
And then do you believe in Russian Jew, Indian Jew Japanese jews (etc) are the rightful owner of that fucking place and are stupid lost tribesmen of fucking Israel, because your primative religious books tells you that.
Palestinian ethnicity is code word for native people of that region.
If someone here doesnt know jack about middle eastern history is you. A jew are jew . is doesnt metter if they are from russia\morroco\india. my parents are russian jews and i have dark skin and dark hair and guess what ? jews are the rightful owner of ISRAEL. yeah . ISRAEL not a fucking invention called palestine . BTW its not the fucking bible who says that , its a known historical fact and tons of genetic research.
dont have anything against israeli arabs , but dont call them in a made up stupid name , thanks:)
