What is the physical different between a Jew and an Arab?

Answer 1

Well I'm sitting at the table looking at my husband and kids and I'd say...

not much.

Arabic countries are in a region.
That region has in the past been quite dense with Jews.
Those Jews are but one of the cultures originating in the arab region.


Silly, many Jews ARE arab.
Ever hear the last name Mizrahi?
As Jewish and as Arab as it gets.
I don't blame you, not a lot of non-Jews in modern societies without a concentration of middle eastern Jews do know we exist. Even some Jews of european descent don't know we exist, in the U.S. (That reflects more poorly on how America has stereotyped Jews than on those Jews themselves.)

Answer 2

According to the newest scientific studies, there is about 1% of DNA variation amongst ALL humans. Since there's alot of "physical differences" between Jews and Arabs within their own ethnicities, your question really has no answer.

Answer 3

The Jewish people aren't a race. People of all races can be and are Jews. Therefore, some Jews would be physically indistinguishable from Arabs, and some don't look like Arabs at all.

Answer 4

Because Jewish people have been moved around so much, they don't really have common features. Jews from Europe (Ashkenazis) are white-skinned, Jews from Spain and the Middle-East (Sepharadis) look like Arabs, Jews from Ethiopia are black.

Answer 5

As someone who has lived in Israel, I can tell you that I've seen both Jews and Arabs of all sizes, heights, shapes and colours!

Jews come from all ethnic backgrounds, so there are Chinese Jews, Jews from Yemen, from Japan, from Sweden, from Canada, from Morocco, from Iraq, and so on and so forth.

I have also met Arabs with fair skin and blue eyes, and Arabs with ebony hair and brown eyes, and Arabs with black hair and green eyes.

Answer 6

You and a few others here obviously have not seen many Jews or Arabs. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Black, brown, red, and blond hair, kinky to straight; black, brown, blue, and green eyes; large, small, and medium sized noses and mouths; milky white to swarthy dark skin. God, there are even Chinese Jews in western China.

Answer 7

Certainly not the blatant racist propaganda from James H.

Shame on him.

Answer 9

in my personal experience, it's what's in the diet that makes them have different odors
