One of the leaders of the European Jews said that there was one way that he could prove that the Arabs and the European Jews were the same Semitic people because both of them have big noses. I wish I was making it up! Take a look:
14 July 1947 Dr. Magnes giving testimony at the UN Special Committee on Palestine:
Why do we call the Jews and the Arabs Semitic people? It is because they have presumably more or less a common ancestry. There is no racial problem, therefore between them. An Arab cannot say to a Jew, “You have a big nose”, because a lot of Arabs have bigger noses.
