No. The Israelites were (and are) Semitic.The Torah speaks of three branches of post-Flood mankind: Yefet (Jafeth), Ham, and Shem (the three sons of Noah; Genesis ch.10).The children of Yefet are (broadly speaking) the Europeans (Caucasians).The children of Ham include the ancient Egyptians, Canaanites, Nubians, Bantu (and sub-Saharan Africans in general), and many others.The children of Shem include the ancient Assyrians, Elamites, Arameans, Lyddians, and other Semitic peoples. One group of Semites gave rise to the Arabs, Israelites, Moabites, Ammonites, Edumeans and others. See also:Are Hebrews, Israelites and Jews the same people?Jewish ancestry
