I do wonder who the identity of his dad was…he died around 2012 at around 88
Josh doesn’t look Indian. He looks Levantine.
Because, well, he *is* Levantine.
The only non-Levantine thing about his face is probably the eye shape.
He looks Levantine ahahaha LMFAO
Man how can you be so delusional??
“He looks Levantine ahahaha LMFAO
Man how can you be so delusional??”
OK, you win. All Ashkenazi Jews look like Europeans and are clearly alien to the Levant, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a delusional Zionist troll.
Happy, antisemite?
If you think this guy looks Levantine you have serious troubles.
He does look Levantine, many Palestinians, Syrians, Samaritans and Christian Lebanese have lighter complexion and light eye color , look at Gigi Hadids father Muhammed Hadid or Ahed Tamimi or look at Bashar Al Assad or PAlestinians in the city of Nablus (Shechem) who also have red hair there, Many Levantines have blue and green eyes too especially in Lebanon , Syria and Palestinians. Ashkenazim originate in the Levant and after our EXILE we first settled and mixed with Graeco-Roman women this is why we overlap with Levantine and Middle Eastern population on the Male line , while the female line in Ashkenazim is close to Southern Italians, Sicilians , Sardinians, central italians , Cretans, Cypriots . Before Ashkenazim lived in Germany we lived in Italy and Judea. ashkenazim.weebly.com/gallery.html.
The Jewish side of my family is also pretty dark , some are brown skinned and some olive skinned, my great grandfather looked Arabian , my grandfather and his sister looked southern Italian / Greek. My dad and me and my dads siblings we look like olive skinned Italians from the South of Italy. Ashkenazim can be dark and swarthy, some look like Mulattos, some look Indian (like jeremy stoppelman or Aaron Swartz) , some look Italian like (David Proval or Mark Margolis or Abe Vigoda or James Caan) and some still have a middle eastern look Nev Schulman, Idan Raichel , Miri Ben Ari , Ari Lesser, Psoy Korololenko, Ben Bernanke, Adam Shapiro, Adam Tsekhman, Amir Arison, David HaIvri, Gila Almagor, Abbie Hoffman, Sasha Baron Cohen, etc.
Except that he kinda does
even his eyes can look levantine!
Looks like Frank Sinatra.
Funny, because I always thought he was Italian. I didn’t know he was Jewish.
I’m referring to Josh, not frank
Funny, because me as Italian from Italy I see him as Turk or Iranian with blue eyes doesn’t have the European face he’s so exotic looks Justin Tredueau’s bro.
