@Neville ChaimBerlin “the premise you’re basing all of this on is that the Jews should naturally have dark skin”
Well, as far as I can assume the middle eastern climate was always pretty hot, and was harder to get out of the sun back then and people were mostly outside, travelling, bathing, laundry, anything you can think of. So naturally sun makes people pretty dark.

Btw you mention most egyptians and moroccans are not dark? That is absolutely wrong most ARE dark. Even the ones who are light skin usually do not look ashkenaz. Their facial features are different. Also even though not all ashkenaz have light hair and green eyes, pretty much all sephardim do not.

I really dont get how people here cant tell apart an ashkenaz or sephardi based on looks I mean its usually pretty obvious. Not saying anyone is better than the other we jut have different features.

@Joseph-“Frankly, most people couldn’t tell whether a Yid is of German Ashkenazic extraction or of Syrian Sephardic extraction, if both are wearing the same black Borsalino and suit”.
-Uhh rightt…also you do know syrian are not the only sephardi group so not quite sure why you keep bringing up the same exception to the rule.
@Joseph-“And when Moshiach comes they’ll be another cleansing with 80% again being wiped out. The seforim say this”.
-Really? What seforim say 80%? Isnt there also a concept of teshuva? 80% sounds real high. There are also opinions that say the war will not involve Yidden.

Also if there are “millions” more ashkenaz than sephardim, is there a reason for that? I thought sephardim always had pretty big families as well, there were a lot of countries sephardim came from as well as ashkenazim.
