Jews of the time of Jesus were not white but they where not as brown as your picture depicts..
As for the rest.. Jesus to me is revealed in the Bible and that Bible is world wide.. Yes there are false views of Jesus most of which come from lack of knowledge of scriptures, some does however come from twisted reports.. But in the end followers of Jesus need to find out from the Source about Jesus.. They need to take some personal responsibility..

If that where true you would respect the Christian religion which claims exclusivity.. As being the one and only way to eternal life with God.. But of course you do not respect that, you portray that as arrogance or some other negative personal attribute that Christians have that makes them make that claim.. Instead of simply accepting it as an integral part of the Christian belief system..
Sharing ones belief with others is NOT seeking to have power or control over others.. But many people like you project that accusation against Christians because we believe that The only way to eternity with God is through trusting in the Atonement of the LORD Jesus.. Something that triggers people to accuse Christians of forcing this or that belief on others.. Again Stating a belief is not Enforcing a belief..
You Don't Like the Biblical fire and brimstone teachings in regard to Hell and the Lake of Fire.. But that does not mean someone expressing a belief in these is lying about it.. I believe in Hell and i believe in the eternal Lake of Fire.. Not lying here..
@Adstar I don't believe in any gods, but I respect those who sincrely do

It was what people do with their religion that matters. They may follow it as they wish but should never try to use it as power and control over others - be it at domestic or national level.

I don't like liars either, though I don't believe in that Mediaeval fire-and-damnation notion.

@ArishMell Oh yeah just read your reply to a question on Biblical discipline..

Unhealthy, often male-chavinist, domination as summarised by the legal offence of "Coercive and controlling behaviour" - but with the Bible used as a cheap excuse for bullying.
So much for your claims of respect hey.... Bigoted hate mongers claiming to have respect.. Two faced people are a dime a dozen..

@Adstar That is the tragedy of religion. It so easily allows people to use and abuse their version of it to excuse their oppressing others.
Even if not going that far, it also allows others to be very self-righteous, to assume that only their own verion of their own denomination of their own faith, is the only "correct" one. That "I'm-right-you're-wrong" view is patently nonsense and very shallow, because there is so much diversity world-wide in religious belief, even though some faiths have common ideas or roots - and all essentially do the same thing whatever they call their deity / deities.
It's not believing in a deity that is the problem. The problem is in how some people use that belief for their own ends; whatever their faith.

Some of the errors in the left hand column are the same as Jesus's contemporaries had about the nature of the Messiah. This list is simplistic and on both sides there are serious errors. I'll illustrate with just two:
The Bible is quite clear that Jesus did die to clear the debt of personal sin.
The critique was of legalistic religion and hypocrisy that prevented people coming close to God.
By the way, there never was nor could be a Jewish 'church'.

Both completely full of half truths and outright lies.
Christ was God in the flesh (God the Son) he took the punishment we all deserve and had God's wrath poured on him for our sin, so that those who trust in him and his sacrifice will not be damned to hell but have everlasting life. What's more on the third day he rose again- not a Republican suit or a hippy socialist either (though you don't get many hippy socialists these days 🤭)

Why would any intelligent adult in the 21st century ever worship a Jewish king if that person isn't a Jew?
