Straight blond hair, blue eyes...c'mon. Doesn't the bible say he was olive colored with curly hair.

Small clarification - why do all IMAGES show him to be white?

Palestine doesn't exist, except in ancient history. Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea.
And, He was middle Eastern, so you're right. He would be olive complexion w/dark eyes.

The image of Jesus that we know, that we see in churches is not really the true physical appearance of Jesus.
Long time before a painter was asked to paint what is Jesus's Like. He met someone and painted that person.

No one who exists today has ever seen Jesus. No one actually knows what he looks like. Most of the time people just make up his image. Most of the time you see pictures of Jesus as a white man but if you have seen the movie "Bruce Almighty" the Jesus or God in that movie is black. No one actually knows what he looks like they just guess.

You just play right up to them stereotypes now, don't you? Here is something that I bet will shock you. My step bro in law is from Palestine. Born and raised. He's in his 40's, and his skin is whiter than my own, and I am an Irish/German caucasion woman. His wife is also whiter than I am. And their 4 children? Blonde hair and blue eyes, all of them. You could swear they were from here, until you see his wife covered beautifully in the clothing from there. I am a muslim woman as well. Jesus (PBUH) could very well have had blonde hair and blue eyes. White people aren't the only ones to have them. Another one I know is my nephew. His family is from Pakistan. He has blond hair as well. My father in law from Pakistan has blue eyes. Don't you get it? Hair color and eye color are not limited to country. They are simply genes. Should I ask why caucasion people have brown eyes and brown hair since that is so common around the world, as well?

Well most depictions of Jesus have brown hair and blue eyes. Most Palestinians are very white; all that I've met have blue eyes, white skin and brown hair. You'd be surprised! Peace :)

That's because it's whites who mainly follow the religion. Jesus actually was arabian. So are many muslims (muslims are from all over the world but I'm talking about the arab ones). So, if he was here today, he'd be muslim, not because of how he looked, because of what he believes in.

that is only an imagination by painters in Rome. He is actually the same as Jews or people of Israel.
