How white were the Israelites? Facial reconstruction may be surprising

The accepted assumption has been that early Hebrews resembled the people now living in the Middle East or the Mediterranean Basin. However, an Israeli anthropologist researching the question has now made a surprising claim: the subjects of the Kingdom of Judea in the Second Temple Period looked more like black Africans. This theory arose after Prof. Yair Ben David of Tel-Aviv University conducted the first-ever facial reconstruction of its kind.

Which only provides additional proof that the current day Israeli has absolutely nothing to do with nor any claim to Jerusalem and Occupied Palestine. The current day Israelis are in fact an "invented people."

Jews in Judea, Samaria Increased by 20 Percent in Olmert's Term

The number of Jews in Judea and Samaria grew by 20 percent from 250,000 when Ehud Olmert began his term as Prime Minister in April of 2006, to more than 300,000 in the Interior Ministry's official census in 2008, according to Yesha Council Director Pinchas Wallerstein.

For those of you who don't know - Judea and Samaria are the Jewish names for what is now commonly referred to as Palestine (Gaza and the West Bank).
