Re: Blond, blue-eyed Jesus?

I too hate that soap box - The guy was Jewish, not Anglo

True, he was not an Anglo Saxon.

He was a Semite. Like the Akkadians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Assyrians and Arabs et al.

He was a Jew by faith, it was his religion.

He would have resembled the other inhabitants of Gallilee - olive skinned and arabic. Black hair and dark eyes.

The popular images of either fair skinned and blond or brown haired and tan are both incorrect.

Find a pic of a native Palestinian and that would be close.
