Not true. There are many middle Easterners who are indigenous to the Middle East who have pale skin or and light colored eyes/hair . I’m from Saudi Arabia my skin tone is tanned yet my sister’s skin tone is very white
Middle easterners come in a variety of skin tones , eye colors and hair colors unlike what people think . And “Middle Easterner ” is a not race nor an ethnicity. It’s a geopolitical term. Within the Middle East there are so many ethnic groups , identities and ethnicities. In many cases there are different ethnic groups within one country. middle easterners define themselves by their nationality first (aka Saudi or Iranian or Qatari or Lebanese ) unless asked specifically about their ethnic group.
And When it comes to Nationalities,
The levant people in particular(Lebanese ,Jordanians ,Palestinians , Syrians etc ) , it’s not uncommon for them to have light skin and or light Colored eyes.
Here is a picture of a Palestinian toddler (Mohammed Tamimi ) who was killed in June 2023 in the West Bank by Israeli soldier :
Here is a picture of iconic symbol of Palestinian resistance Ahed Al tamim when she was a child :
If I told you these two were Ukrainian you would have most likely believed it.
The reason people say Israel is a European settler colony it is not because they look white it’s because “literally “ The state of Israel was founded by European white Jews who came from abroad and created Israel not long ago through the ethnic cleansing and persecution of the native population which is ongoing until today despite UN condemnation . The other type of Jews (North African and middle eastern Jews ) went to Israel after Israel was founded Especially because of Mossad operations. They also faced persecution in Israel like The kidnapping of Yemeni Jews children And giving Ethiopian Jews contraceptives without consent.
Regardless be them North African or Iranian or European or Yemeni None of them are native to the land to Palestine
