Where do semitic people get their light features from?

The canaanites included the phoenicians, israelites, hebrews, etc. Carthage was predominantly a phoenician civilization that settled on berber lands. in 711 the Moors which included these people + arabs invaded spain. Fast forward to 1492, Christopher Columbus, a Crypto-Jew, leaves Spain on the last day before all Jews are expelled from Spain.

Sepharat- Spain- Sephardic. Thus the sephardic jew is born, hence hispanics having Jewish blood in the Americas

Forgot to mention that many Berbers have light features, including blue eyes and red hair. They along with the Basque people of Spain have a different blood type then the rest of europeans

Here's a ginger Syrian

>The canaanites included the phoenicians
That's like saying "the Deutsch people included the Germans".
Canaanite and Phoenician is literally the same thing, Canaanite is just a native name while Phoenician is what the Greeks called them.

whatever. the point is they moved to carthage, and intermixed with the light eyed red haired berbers

This is what an ancient palestinian jew (Jesus) would look like

Meme answer: da wite ppl

Real answer: Chalcolithic Iranians

Not sure why this wasn't mentioned, But crusaders fucked a lot of women in the levantines. most of them got fucked by brown arabs from the arabian desert. but theres enough people with light eyes and skin genes that if they manage to reproduce only with eachother and that wasnt hard considering the ones who were whiter tended to be wealthier than the brown lowerclasses.

amongst some levantines, especially druze and alawites have genes for light hair and eyes that some european travelers were surprised seeing villages of people who looked white but spoke and dressed like arabs.

Additionally phoenncians took slaves from europe and also the ottoman empire had tons of Europeans sold into salvery in the areas they controlled.

Pseudoscience

T.retard

Humans in the middle east always had a darker shade of skin then Euros due to the UV index compared to Europe.

>Not sure why this wasn't mentioned

Because it's a retarded meme.

Why?

During the time of the crusader states, the Frankish and Italian (and other European knights, merchants,...) would mingle with the local Christian populaces in Minor Asia and other parts of the Near East they annexed.

A famous example was Baldwin II of Jerusalem who was married to an Armenian noblewoman (albeit Armenians not being Semites).

These areas were called "outremer" (literally: "overseas"). Now that explains the native Christian populaces (like the Maronites).

I'd guess the Arab slave trade explains why some muslim Arabs are "bleached".

Because thats how they look

Don't listen to this post, it's bullshit. The amount of crusader mixture is incredibly small.

The fact is before Islam the Levant was part of the Mediterranean world no different from Greece, Italy or Spain.

>"Don't listen to this post, it's bullshit. The amount of crusader mixture is incredibly small."

Proceeds to claim the Levant was no different from the Mediterranean. Wow. Just, wow.

>Now that explains the native Christian populaces

Doesn't explain Assyrians. They didn't live in the Crusader states.

How was it different?

That is almost certainly a western Assyrian, whose origins are very near or perhaps within the former County of Edessa. His appearance is also particularly distinct from eastern Assyrians (which are the majority, just saying). Eastern Assyrians' political situation at the time was the one radically different due to relations with the Ilkhanate which kept them in political power until the 1800s as well as being far from Crusaders.

It really does for some Assyrians. There's still a big community of Assyrians living in modern day Turkey. The county of Edessa overlapped with that region. The Turkish provinces in which they live are Hakkari and Tur Abdin mostly. Of course, Those living in North Iraq and Iran weren't influenced.

Btw, red hair is no precise indicator of European admixture, since Mesopotamia is thougt to have been the place of origin.
Culturally? Ethnically? The languages? Besides from those Greek and Roman settlers, Hellenized people and traditions "exchanged", the differences were huge.

The county of Edessa lasted only 50 years and it had a tiny population

Some Egyptian mummies are blonde

No, in the Vatican archives is a letter from Publius Lentulus to the Roman senate describing Jesus as a ginger.

The U.S.

It's likely they were red or maybe light-brown.

That's what happens to your hair when it's mummified ya know

>The letter of Lentulus is regarded as apocryphal[2] for a number of reasons. No Governor of Jerusalem or Procurator of Judea is known to have been called Lentulus, and a Roman governor would not have addressed the Senate in the way represented.[3] However, the Deeds of the Divine Augustus list a Publius Lentulus as being elected as a Roman Consul during the reign of Augustus (27 BC-14 AD).[4][5] Also, a Roman writer would not have employed the expressions "prophet of truth", "sons of men" or "Jesus Christ". The former two are Hebrew idioms, and the third is taken from the New Testament. The letter, therefore, gives a description of Jesus such as Christian piety conceived him.

Bullshit

What?

Northwestern Iraq (Zakho, Sinjar) is slightly closer to Edessa than Hakkari, which was also remote and difficult to visit. Not to mention Syria.

Well I checked about that Archbishop and he was born in Mosul, but his family may originate from Tur Abdin. Tur Abdin is the main area of 'western Assyrians' who were already noticeably more west-influenced than the others when the Crusades started. Those from Hakkari, the majority of whom don't live there since the Assyrian Genocide / WWI when half of the survivors escaped to Iraq before the fighting was over, are more similar to the groups in Iraq and Iran than to the Tur Abdin group. Overall there is little involvement, after all it is the border of the first big schism in Christianity and between Romans and Persians. This Archbishop wouldn't be from Hakkari as they were not Syriac Orthodox.

Also, what said.

Publius Lentulus could have been any individual or Roman official who was visiting Jerusalem or Judea at the time.

Further to this, Roman History gives us the names of several Lentuli in the period in question who were Consuls and were active around the time of the Jesus. And it was certainly possible for a Consul to address a letter to the Senate

In addition, the translation of the name from Latin means a public official slow to respond. Could have been a public official who was not willing to reveal his identity.

Natufian = Semite

Among Middle Easterns only Saudis and Bedouins have a signifiant ammount of Natufian Admixture. Northern Middle Eastern are more similar to Iranians and Anatolians than anything else.

I'm from northern Iraq and people tell me I look "white"

I tell them to fuck off there's no such thing as white. My race and culture is Arabic, in terms of skin colour all Arabs are phenotypically variant.

It's only Europeans who obsess over skin colour, and then you wonder why the rest of the world thinks you are racist

>It's only Europeans who obsess over skin colour, and then you wonder why the rest of the world thinks you are racist

Have you ever been to other parts of Iraq? Have you ever heard about I S I S's racist ideologies? Have you ever heard of Baathi?

You either don't know much about your country or you're looking for an excuse to blame Europeans for hurting your feelings by telling you you don't live up to their expectations that one time on a former anime forum that now has five gay porn boards.

You want to emulate Mohammed, pig piss be upon him. Here is what Mohammed really looked like, and you are expected to follow his example.

>Arab is a race but white isn't

They got it from Kurds

Crusaders generally massacred the Oriental Christians

Most Assyrians I've met are darker than me
t. Iraqi

How is ISIS racist?
As far as I knkw they accept everyonr who converts to their brand of islam.

Kurd look like your typical brown semite though.

Arabs are caucasians

>Europeans
You mean Americans, people here either are foreign or native, sometimes both.
