I know that Sephardim Jews are definetely of Israeli ancestry, but most Ashkenazi (Eastern European Jews) don't really look Semitic ... they look European.

There are conflicting theories, but the common theory is that Ashkenazim Judaism started as trade merchants who voyaged from the middle east Europe eventually decided to settle down there, so yes they are really of Israeli ancestry but also mixed with European ancestry.

Hell no! These AshkeNAZI "jews" have no lineage to the tribes of ancient Israel. They are converts who came from the Khazar empire, and this conversion was due to convenience not for love of Judaism. Yes, the Sephardim, Mizrachi are of the tribes of Israel, and not the ones you see on t.v. (blue eyes blond hair) bull dozing arab homes.

No, they are Euro-Asiatic. Nothing Hebrew about them.
