When the European Jews were scheming to claim to be the Hebrews in order to grab a piece of Arab land for free, did they not realize that they look completely European and completely foreign to the Middle East? Imagine the case of Nigerians claiming to return to Norway! Nothing, absolutely nothing, about the European Jews is Middle Eastern:
not the way they look = very European,
not their language = Yiddish,
not their food = gefilte fish,
not their names = English,
not their customs and traditions = they have none!
