From a member of the Wikianswers community:

The Jews in ancient Israel were dark to olive skinned with dark eyes and had soft, straightish curly hair that was a little past shoulder length. they were tall and lean and quite attractive.

These people are all called in The Bible "the sons of Shem;" hence, Semites. They are the descendants of Abraham whom the bible describes as such. In Revelations the bible describes Jesus who was a Jew in ancient Israel as having hair white as wool (wool is curly), and feet and also skin of burnt brass; and brass is what we would call olive-toned.

Jewish Answer:

Our tradition is that the twelve sons of Jacob (the 12 Tribes) were not completely similar to each other in appearance, though none of them was really dark-skinned (Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:11).

Is Jewish a nationality?

"No. Even though many Jews look like lookalikes, Judaism is a religion." That is wrong. Jews are a nation and have been before Moses brought them the Jewish religion. Furthermore, Jews who become atheists or followers of another religion remain Jews. A common religion is a typical feature of a nation and historically many (or most) nations had their own religions, including the Greeks and the Persians (Zoroastrianism). The correct answer is that "Jewish" is a nationality and that Jews, as a nation, are typically followers of their own aboriginal religion, although some have converted to Christianity or other religions. P.S.: Technically the name of the nation is "Israel" and the state of Israel is named after the nation. The nation of Israel consists of twelve tribes, three of whom are the "Judaeans" (Jews) and make up 95% of "Jews" world-wide.


Is Zionism racist?

No. Aside from the fact that Jews in Israel are from all over the world (roughly 1/3 from Russia, 1/3 from the Arab World, and 1/3 from Western Europe and the USA, with sprinklings from elsewhere), there is no view in Israel of how a Jew should look. There are European Jews, Middle Eastern Jews, Indian Jews, African Jews, and Chinese Jews in Israel. Of course, this fails to note how Arab Israeli citizens (ethnic Palestinians, Druze, Bedouins, and Arab Christians) receive equal treatment under Israeli Law and even have political parties which have participated in every Israeli Parliament, some of which are opposed to the Jewish State. Further, there is no attempt to alter demography by preventing non-Jews from marrying and reproducing. In fact, aside for Religious Jews, Arab Israelis have the highest birth rates in Israel. While there are demographic concerns in Israel, no Israeli politician or organization has ever contemplated trying to prevent Arabs from marrying or having children, because this is not what Israel is about.
