Historically, no. The Jews (more correctly "Israelites" or "Israelites from the kingdom of Judah") were of Semitic descent. They also conquered and intermingled in a land where people were of very dark skin - the Canaanites. The Canaanites were descendants of Ham, the brother of Shem and Japheth. Before the conquest of Canaan, the Israelites dwelt in Mitzrayim (commonly called Egypt). Before Mitzrayim experienced multiple invasions, they were also of very dark skin being that the father of the Mitzrayim people was, of course, Mitzrayim. Mitzrayim, like Canaan, was also the son of Ham - the father of many African and Middle Eastern peoples. Therefore the people in the regions of North Africa, Canaan, and Mesopotamia were of Hamitic as well as Semitic descent, yet both peoples had jet black skin. It is also interesting to note that Cush was also Ham's son and his son, the infamous Nimrod, was the founder of the Babylonian peoples who dwelt in lower Mesopotamia near the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. The descendants of Shem, of which the children of Israel came from, dwelt in the land between Canaan and lower Mesopotamia. This entire region is coined as the "Fertile Crescent".

To the northwest of this land, the peoples who were populating this area were Japhetic in origin. Noah's son, Japheth, is the progenitor of all the European peoples. Therefore, based on the physical makeup of this group of Europeans, the European Jews are not from the biblical Jews' bloodline being that the European Jews are from the line of Japheth. And, according to the Scriptures of the Hebrew Bible, the biblical Israelites were from the line of Shem and the Semites dwelt (and intermingled) among the Hamitic peoples of Canaan and Mesopotamia (or Babylon).
