    I find that she looks extremely old, like an aged up lady.

    Looks like Rose Byrne (English) and Natalie Portman (Jewish).

    It’s not surprising that some Middle Eastern people such as her look like Europeans. They’re both Caucasian after all. I’ve mistaken Iranians for Italians or Greeks.

      Same thing with Assyrians.

    • Yeravam says:

      She doesn’t look European to me.

      Lebanese and Syrian probably.

      • NOTREALLY says:

        she looks overly European in this picture and these people obviously don’t look exactly like ethnic Arabs, but if look up more of her pictures she doesn’t really look AS European as in this one

          So you think all arabs are brown like indian? There is light skin arabs in levant. Dont be silly.

          • NOTREALLY says:

            and you think skin colour = race, which is even sillier, no, my remarks are not based off her skin complexion, some middle easterns look death pale white and still don’t look European, you don’t have to enlighten me, I’m pretty sure I’m eternally more knowledgeable on race than you :) in this pic here, for whatever reason, be the angle, lighting or whatever, she looks SLIGHTLY more European than she doesn in most of her pics, period,

        • guzel says:

          Dont care with your European propaganda. She is arabs from Levant Asian. I never forget what did Nazi Racialism to Gypsy and Jewish people. Period

        • guzel says:
