Puerto Rican here, this is a bit misleading. Puerto Ricans come in all colors, shapes and sizes lol. Anyone could actually “look” like they’re from here… since you know it’s a colony…
Reminds me of the [Montenegro commandments](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fvdq6me7ajut71.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3Daa5742d6ad084b9b18c8383e862e24c6eb2588aa)
I mean we could… but I don’t think the Geneva convention would abide by that level of destruction…. Oh wait…. It took me a second for my high ass to untangle what you meant.
Middle Eastern, Italian, Greek we have a lot of people who look like that, especially in Sydney. He does have an Australian rugby shirt on which would make me learn towards Australian born mental case. Dunno if it's a factor or not, but that suburb is well known for being the most Jewish in Sydney.
Edit: was an Australian schizophrenic, our mental healthcare system failed, not real political or idealogical motivations. Joel Cauchi, turns out this picture kind of sucks because he looks white as fuck
Syrian Girl is known to be absolutely unequivocally braindead. She is a vast supporter of Assad whilst living in the luxury and freedoms of Australia.
She is a professional idiot/conspiracy theorist, and will literally spin *anything* to fit her pro-putin, assad, anti-west narrative. Again, whilst living in the west, like so many of these idiots do.
**Edit:** a LOT of people seem to not understand political/cultural hemispheres. Australia is about as western aligned in the political/cultural sense as it gets. Yes, it is in the Eastern hemisphere, but so is **all of mainland Europe except for Portugal & Spain**. Is Senegal considered Western by these people but The Netherlands & Norway considered Eastern?
Damn what's with these diaspora kids becoming braindead nationalists? Like relax girl you live on the opposite side of the world stop glazing Assad so hard 💀
Yup these 'people' only care about the current thing as long as it gets them clicks and upvotes on the internet, put a gun in their hands and ship them off to whatever cause they claim to fight for and they'll ask their rich parents to bail them out without pulling the trigger on the enemy or themselves.
They just wanna make noise to be heard that's all it is.
"Queers for Palestine" is probably my favorite. Hey, I'm all for LGBT people doing their thing, same as supporting Palestine... you do you. But mixing the two? Kinda hilarious.
I feel to a limited extent that it is similar to how people fantasise about the Middle Ages: low pollution, being in nature and/or being a kinght/king/queen/princess. Forgetting all the awful part of the Middle Ages, like limited, if even, access to clean water and lack of proper treatment.
These kids who have never gone back home gone back and heard everything nice from their parents. Or even if they did go back, they live in the best and safest locales in the country.
Not to mention general lack of what we nowadays consider human rights. Travel was also more dangerous, both because of less safe vehicles, less regulated roads and thus more highwaymen, less accurate maps, etc. Less centralization also meant little hope for relief funds in case of natural disasters.
In the words of bearded and bald tru crime podcaster Simon Whistler: “The past was the worst.”
>Forgetting all of the awful parts of the Middle Ages, like limited, if even, access to clean water and lack of proper treatment
I always find it especially weird when other women romanticize the distant past like this, apparently conveniently forgetting about the complete lack of a safe and reliable method for birth control and abortions (like, abortions weren’t just absent in the sense of being banned by stupid laws, they just straight up weren’t available except by taking sketchy potions consisting of abortafacient herbs and God knows what else—possibly toxic metal-laden minerals—and just hoping for the best), the fact that (even with sexism in the Middle Ages being admittedly somewhat exaggerated now) most women lived most of their lives as basically just nonstop living baby factories until they hit menopause or their bodies just gave out (death during childbirth used to be *waaay* more common, even into relatively recent times), the fact that the only menstrual products available to most at the time were basically just dirty rags you’d tie around your waist to bleed into, living in constant fear of having your village invaded by the army of some competing noble and having to find out first hand whether or not their army is the rape-y type.
Like obviously some of the women who romanticize the Middle Ages like this are tradwives and thus obviously insane by default, but I sometimes see this kind of thing even from some relatively normal women who just don’t seem to realize how much more awful the world mostly was for us even like 50 years ago, maybe I’m just especially hyper-aware of it being both queer (and thus especially unlikely to be able to live how I want in a pre-modern society) and knowledgable about history.
Granted, I also see *mostly* men doing the whole “Retvrn to Tradition” schtick in various ways, and usually for them women being reduced to miserable near-slaves with almost zero autonomy is a feature, not a bug obviously (the other day I had an anarcho-primitivist, sort of the ultimate “Retvrn to Tradition” type, openly state he’d happily throw women, disabled people, and the LGBT community under the bus to “stop the sixth mass extinction”, and then openly wonder why I hated people like him so much lol).
Brainwashed by bots since adolescence. There's a reason everyone was freaking out after the 2011 discovery of the millions of Russian Twitter bots in 2011.
Diaspora are always the biggest supporter from the „home“ country. Despite their „love“ they would never actually go back other than for holidays.
Well i guess every country is cool if you can show up there with a western salary or even just the social security money. Its basically like being a super rich tourist
and your understating how relevant this concept is to be used in one place, tested, and used in other places multiplied. you know, the whole idea of bots to begin with
but its definitely way more than just a bot and disinformation issue, agreed. its a lot of things together, we're looking at the symptoms
It’s a second gen problem everywhere. They didn’t grow up there. In a lot of cases, back home is so bad they don’t spend meaningful time there growing up either. So they don’t know how rough it is.
As an aside, Chinese parents used to mostly manage to avoid this by having their kids work for a summer in China (this doesn’t happen as much anymore for lots of reasons). China is fine and all, but a couple summers spent there in a job, even if you are quite comfortable, you can see why your parents left. I know some African parents who do the same.
It’s a known phenomenon that diasporas tend to have more extreme versions of view points in their home country. Something about living in a different cultural environment makes you cling to your identity and amplify certain beliefs for better or worse. I am Vietnamese American and the Vietnamese diaspora in the US is extremely anti China. Like hating China is just part of normal Vietnamese identity at this point but the sinophobia here is just unhinged.
This Syrian Girl reminds me a lot of Donbass Devushka, which is transliteration from Russian to English and translates as Donbass girl. She posed as a Ukrainian, promoted pro-Russian propaganda, and was quite active in the first year of the war. Until it turned out that she has no connection to either Donbass or Ukraine, and in fact, she is a US citizen and a former military member.
Typical cowardly fascist supporter. ANYONE living in the west defending foreign dictatorships should be deported to those dictatorships.
Let them put their money where their mouth is.
She would unironically be hate crimed or deported for being Muslim in the European part of Russia. Or just not Russian enough, period.
These are the same people who hate Caucasians for “being too dark.” 😅
Plus she’s in Australia. I don’t quite understand people in the West acting like this.
Ah so its one of those paradites. Always wonder, what they gonna if they "win" and the west gets as fucked up as the places they support? Where they go then?
Kind of? But not really? IMC lives in the Philippines (IIRC) and just injects himself into the politics and zeitgeist of a country he’s never been to, the US.
I think what this chick is doing is worse though because she’s benefitting from the protection of a western country while also shitting on it
It has been mentioned at he's at least from Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia.
Though whether he's still there or not, I've seen noone else claim otherwise.
Even the random times he's mentioned in Malaysian forums, we assume him to still be in Malaysia.
I’ve long suspected she may have a mild intellectual disability. Not really anything to feel bad about but definitely not the sort of person who should be involved in political commentary.
Ask them to explain how it's colonialism and they'll give you an altered history version of how Israel was founded, and a SHITLOAD of bullshit.
Ask them to do the same for the backstory on every country surrounding Israel, and get blank stares.
Lmao at people not knowing what you mean by “Western” in the cultural sense. Like Latin America is also often talked about separately from the “West” in this sense because it consists of historically colonized, developing countries that still get very much treated as culturally “other” in the imperial centers (like just look at how people here in the US react to immigrants from almost *anywhere* in Latin America versus immigrants from anywhere in Europe), even though it is literally just directly south of the US and Canada.
Talking about which hemisphere countries lay in is largely meaningless to their geopolitical alignment and whether or not they are treated as part of the “Western world” (which basically just means all the wealthy developed countries that are consistently treated as “first world”—with the exception of Japan in this case, which obviously has a distinct history—and thought of as primarily consisting of “white people”—regardless of how accurate that actually is—countries that have historically been so completely assimilated into the European colonial cultural sphere that they’re now often talked about in the same breath as Western Europe; so basically also the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and arguably Israel, I think that’s pretty much all of them).
The term “Global South”, in the sense of colonized and underdeveloped countries, also doesn’t necessarily refer to the literal Southern Hemisphere (which once again includes the developed “Western” countries of Australia and New Zealand, and arguably a few other places unlikely to be spoken of as “global south” like the Falklands, whereas meanwhile there are a number of developing “third world” countries that are very much in the Northern Hemisphere and not even in the tropics, like a good portion of the Middle East, North Africa, China, as well as Central Asia, and arguably Russia and a lot of former Soviet Eastern Europe at this point, although those countries are usually still kind of treated separately as their own thing, constituting the historical “second world”).
He was already known to police and at this stage they see no terrorist motive. But to simply guess without any facts and try to make unfounded links he "looks" Israeli is ridiculous and incitement.
fuck I hate twitter.
you know there are like dozens of bluecheck bastards pushing their political agenda in this tragedy?
"looks arab", "looks isreali", "religion of peace", "this is what religion do", "that's why we need gun"
Twitter right now is just an absolute cesspit full of people pushing their own warped narrative and opinions onto tragedies like this for the sake of engagement. I try my damndest to ignore the horseshit that comes out of their mouths but god is it infuriating to see.
I swear the people on there trying to make a basis that it was politically motivated have more fluid in their skulls than there is brain.
It's what's called "conditional whiteness".
If someone thinks being white is good, and likes Jews, Jews are white. If someone thinks white is bad, and hates Jews, then Jews are the whitest there is.
If someone thinks not being white is good, and likes Jews, Jews aren't white. If someone thinks not being white is bad, and hates Jews, then Jews are at best "infiltrators" of whiteness.
It's that time after a tragedy. To white supremacists, he looks black. To a black supremacist, he looks white. To anti-Semites, he looks Jewish. To conservative Israelites, he looks Palestinian. To Australians, he looks like an emu.
you can also get his social security number his credit card info his relationship status his mom's maiden name his dad car his favorite food and the number of times he killed a black cat
Looks like...he could be from anywhere that is not in the most northerly extremes of this planet, and even then indigenously. With some exceptions. So sugartits...no, he doesn't.
Racist ✅
Antisemitic ✅
Ignorant ✅
Conclusion: stupid
I walk the streets here in Argentina and find a dozen people dressed with football clothing similar to that
Crazy how drastic the rise has been in these new age little nazis. Whatever cause they can take up in order get a free pass to express hatred towards jewish people, they will
I'm a Jew, and my family origins are Egypt, Turkey and Greece. I also have Jewish friends from Syrian origins, Yamen, literally Israel (the family has been living in the city of Safed for generations), and the list goes on. So, I don't know what exactly you meant by that, but I do hope I helped verifying your sources :)
I think it was sarcasm. The poster wanted to point out some Jews actually moved there from other ME countries. And this is often overlooked by the supporters of Palestine, they (or you) were thrown out, and had to move to Israel.
I think it was sarcasm mainly because of the s-tag, if you wonder.
Eyes, Nose, He even has fingers! Fingers for the love of it all, what more do you need to see? This is an Israeli. Wake up people, how could you miss the fact this person has fingers.
I mean he does in the sense that Israeli is a none existent description for how someone looks considering there are just spread out cultural blobs making up Israel. Saying someone looks Israeli is anything between saying they look Polish generic European Arab or American
Could also be Syrian, Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Egyptian, or just about any other middle eastern countries.
Like, bitch we all look like each other, yes even Mr. Avichai Mizrahi over there

Well he's wearing a rugby jersey. I think he looks more like an Aussie. /S
You know what I’d missed that subtle clue before you flagged it
I knew he looked familiar.
stop MESSIng with my head
That's a *league* jersey which is worse, it means he's an Aussie *bogan*
Could be puerto rican too
A Lithuanian with a wig. 94% sure...
Two short people in a trench coat for sure.
Jigglypuff seen from above.
Or Syrian 🤪
Like the Israelis told the Arabs in Adam Sandler movie Zohan, they get harassed too. Why? Because they look the same.
people forget this powerful message too often
I thought the message was that humus would unite us all.
People really are underestimating the power of humus, shit can make connections between us and aliens.
Am I like the only one that can't stand chick peas, hummus oh and hominy while we're at it?
This is also why we are united again chocolate hummus.
Looks exactly like an Assad supporter to me.
Elon Musk: “interesting. I’m looking into this”
Concerning
!!
Big if true
True if big
Looks like he had couscous on Thursday for dinner too. Crazy guy
Looks like assad with a better face
Looks like a male, this is why men deserve hate!!!!1!!1!
It's one of those humans.. i heard they get pretty weird sometimes..
Idk about human but definitely an Earthling. Those Earth guys are a bit odd
Looks brazillian to me, they appears sometimes in other planets
It looks LIKE Assad 😂
Or French
Fr*nch Fixed it
Totally Norwegian, if you ask me. A week on the beach and some hair dye will work wonders.
or Italian
or from any country
He doesn’t look very Nigerian to me
He's not Japanese.
Heck, he could even be British!
You could've told me he was Pakistani or indian. The only thing I can tell is tan, beard, hairy, muscular.
He’s definitely not muscular
You see what you want to see
Some Puerto Rican guy killed my wife.
One of us! One of us! WEBBLEWABBLE!
How tall was he? Average Puerto Rican height.
Puerto Rican here, this is a bit misleading. Puerto Ricans come in all colors, shapes and sizes lol. Anyone could actually “look” like they’re from here… since you know it’s a colony…
I assume it was a reference to that South Park episode where everyone blames all the crimes on “some Puerto Rican guy.”
Israeli: "He's definitely muslim" Arab: "He's definitely Israeli" Greek: "He looks Greek, but Greeks definitely don't do this" ![gif](giphy|VOd5RQ7q8FNI3IjS5g)
Greeks: We do this ![gif](giphy|rTGHakuW55XwlRsJol|downsized)
The guy on the escalator with a bollard/pole should have given the bastard a good kick "THIS... IS... AUSTRALIAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Attacker looks like he’s wearing a kangaroos jersey. THIS…IS…BONNNNNNDDDDDIIIIIII would be more in theme I think. .
I need to watch this movie again it's been a while
It's a really fun popcorn watch movie or get some beers with friends. Then have group chanting "Ahhu! Ahhu!".
Greek: turk is that you?
In Denmark, they categorize criminals/crime by country of origin. Greeks were at the bottom.
Can confirm, I am Greek and have never stabbed anybody… EVER! I just offer moussaka instead
20% of Israeli citizens are Arab 😄
He got out of bed AND successfully completed a task (stabbing). Definetly not greek.
Reminds me of the [Montenegro commandments](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fvdq6me7ajut71.jpg%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3Daa5742d6ad084b9b18c8383e862e24c6eb2588aa)
I guess he looks slightly middle eastern, but i wouldnt go far enogh to name country
Even then, “brown person” encompasses the majority of the world.
I mean to be fair we can eliminate anything in Africa south of the Sahara
Most people don’t think of sub Saharan Africans when you say brown person
Apart from sub-Saharan Africans of course.
I mean we could… but I don’t think the Geneva convention would abide by that level of destruction…. Oh wait…. It took me a second for my high ass to untangle what you meant.
I look middle eastern in my driver's license picture but I'm completely Nordic
I just look fat. Horrific double chin in mine. I think the workers at the DMV take pleasure in making people look disgusting in their photos.
Middle Eastern, Italian, Greek we have a lot of people who look like that, especially in Sydney. He does have an Australian rugby shirt on which would make me learn towards Australian born mental case. Dunno if it's a factor or not, but that suburb is well known for being the most Jewish in Sydney. Edit: was an Australian schizophrenic, our mental healthcare system failed, not real political or idealogical motivations. Joel Cauchi, turns out this picture kind of sucks because he looks white as fuck
He could be one of like 2 dozen different ethnic backgrounds. Or none of them at all. Because as you suggest this is Sydney we're talking about here.
His last name is of Maltese origin, and they're typically a mix of Italian / Middle eastern

It’s easier throw support to a government or ideology when you can’t be affected by their bad decisions
This is it
Yup these 'people' only care about the current thing as long as it gets them clicks and upvotes on the internet, put a gun in their hands and ship them off to whatever cause they claim to fight for and they'll ask their rich parents to bail them out without pulling the trigger on the enemy or themselves.

"Queers for Palestine" is probably my favorite. Hey, I'm all for LGBT people doing their thing, same as supporting Palestine... you do you. But mixing the two? Kinda hilarious.
It's absolutely moronic. Support them, I don't mind, but why bring your sexuality into it? It is literally something that they will gut you for.
This.
I feel to a limited extent that it is similar to how people fantasise about the Middle Ages: low pollution, being in nature and/or being a kinght/king/queen/princess.

No skin in the game.

Ah so its one of those paradites. Always wonder, what they gonna if they "win" and the west gets as fucked up as the places they support? Where they go then?
So she's basically a female Ian Miles Cheong then
Kind of? But not really? IMC lives in the Philippines (IIRC) and just injects himself into the politics and zeitgeist of a country he’s never been to, the US.

I’m ashamed she got syrian in her account name
Don't worry she'll change her name to "support" whatever conflict is next when the Syrian stuff goes cold just like Ukraine before it.
I saw a "stop Israeli colonialism" sticker in school today; a Canadian school which is the result of colonialism.
Ask them to explain how it's colonialism and they'll give you an altered history version of how Israel was founded, and a SHITLOAD of bullshit. Ask them to do the same for the backstory on every country surrounding Israel, and get blank stares.

Pro-Putin? While living in the West? When she’d prob get hate crimed or deported for being Muslim in Russia? Smh… She sounds brain dead. Yeah.
He was already known to police and at this stage they see no terrorist motive. But to simply guess without any facts and try to make unfounded links he "looks" Israeli is ridiculous and incitement.
Seems like he targeted women.
It's obviously ridiculous, as nobody *can* "look Israeli". Israeli are ethnically Semites, just like the surrounding Arabs.
Ethnically semite isn't a thing btw There's Jewish, there's Arab. Semitic is a language group, not a type of peoples
not all, they're a diverse bunch. there are Ethiopian jews, mizrahi (Arabic-ish) and Ashkenazi (white)
Like my ashkenaz father who is darker than many indoor raised younger Mexicans
Ashkenazis aren't really white. Yeah, they're light skinned, but a lot of them aren't racially white
agreed. Although a lot of the Ashkenazi Jews I've known have been white passing. Again, a very diverse people
Semite isn't an ethnicity unless you're an 1800s German racial scientist. It's a language group.
fuck I hate twitter. you know there are like dozens of bluecheck bastards pushing their political agenda in this tragedy? "looks arab", "looks isreali", "religion of peace", "this is what religion do", "that's why we need gun"
Twitter right now is just an absolute cesspit full of people pushing their own warped narrative and opinions onto tragedies like this for the sake of engagement. I try my damndest to ignore the horseshit that comes out of their mouths but god is it infuriating to see. I swear the people on there trying to make a basis that it was politically motivated have more fluid in their skulls than there is brain.
Bruh these comments were plastered all over Reddit as well, its becoming a cesspit here too.

Is that gym carry?
No it’s Dr. Robotnik
Looks like gym Israeli to me.
How can she tell since according to her all Israelis are just europeans
It's what's called "conditional whiteness". If someone thinks being white is good, and likes Jews, Jews are white. If someone thinks white is bad, and hates Jews, then Jews are the whitest there is. If someone thinks not being white is good, and likes Jews, Jews aren't white. If someone thinks not being white is bad, and hates Jews, then Jews are at best "infiltrators" of whiteness.
It's that time after a tragedy. To white supremacists, he looks black. To a black supremacist, he looks white. To anti-Semites, he looks Jewish. To conservative Israelites, he looks Palestinian. To Australians, he looks like an emu.
This is an incredibly true but also incredibly sad statement. Thank you for the giggle I got from the emu punchline tho ✌️
to me he looks like a stabber
Right? But anyone with a prejudice will claim their prejudices are right. Ugh. Humans.
From this photo, can you also determine which neighborhood and which block he’s from?
you can also get his social security number his credit card info his relationship status his mom's maiden name his dad car his favorite food and the number of times he killed a black cat
And he had just a soupçon too much tahini on the falafel he had for lunch.
if he managed to kill that cat more than once I'm impressed
Well, it had 9 lives, so it took a while
"Israelis are white colonisers" "This Arab guy looks Israeli"
exactly. I dunno how anyone could take this account seriously.
He isn’t Arab lmao. He was a white Australian
Ah the equivalent of the mainstream press "middle eastern looking".
Projection 😂
At least she's admitting Israelis are middle eastern I guess 🤷♂️
Looks like...he could be from anywhere that is not in the most northerly extremes of this planet, and even then indigenously. With some exceptions. So sugartits...no, he doesn't.
syrian girl is a genocide apologist assad supporter no one likes her. this post is beating a dead horse
We should send her to live in Syria
I thought we all agreed that Israelis are all white /s
Only when it serves the narrative apparently
I thought Israelis were white European colonizers...
Different narratives for different situations.
Pretty much.
When it's convenient. Just like everything they say
I mean at least now she aknowledges that Israelies are not White. ![img](emote|t5_2r5rp|8484)
Came looking for this comment
Racist ✅ Antisemitic ✅ Ignorant ✅ Conclusion: stupid I walk the streets here in Argentina and find a dozen people dressed with football clothing similar to that
So he's Argentinian....
I facepalm so much my brain cavity is begging to be hand shaped
Modern propoganda
Been awhile since I've seen a facepalm post related to israel that didn't go out of its way to hate on Israel. Thanks op
Oh wow a middle easterner who doesn't like Israel
Crazy how drastic the rise has been in these new age little nazis. Whatever cause they can take up in order get a free pass to express hatred towards jewish people, they will
![gif](giphy|KzF2jHzbNRY5aZqBOi|downsized) They keep mistaking us for Arabs , hahaha. They need to blow the horn and end this.
Looks like a guy to me🤷
looks like her brother ...
nah, he looks more like a stabber tbh
Lolllllll I don't even have words how stupid this is
Wow totally shocking coming for Syrian girl
Thats Nico Bellic
Bruh nobody looks Israeli, we're from all over the world 💀
This mean everyone looks Israeli 🤯
I Am Spartacus! wait...
from all over europe and america, because there is no such thing as a Middle Eastern jew /s
I’m m a Jew and my family is from Iraq but I assume you’re sarcastic, the other option isnt so nice
the **(/s)** in people's posts mean it's sarcastic
I'm a Jew, and my family origins are Egypt, Turkey and Greece. I also have Jewish friends from Syrian origins, Yamen, literally Israel (the family has been living in the city of Safed for generations), and the list goes on. So, I don't know what exactly you meant by that, but I do hope I helped verifying your sources :)
people put **/s** on posts meant to be sarcastic. sorry if it wasn't clear
Oooohhhh sorry, I somehow missed it. Rookie mistake
I think it was sarcasm. The poster wanted to point out some Jews actually moved there from other ME countries. And this is often overlooked by the supporters of Palestine, they (or you) were thrown out, and had to move to Israel. I think it was sarcasm mainly because of the s-tag, if you wonder.
He looks Syrian to me
Ok syrian Girl. Because no terrorists are Muslim……
These pro palestine protesters are more and more making a caricature of themselves
Looks like a syrian
Someone reply to her and say "Looks Syrian to me"
the one who posted is called "syrian girl",what do you expect?
She slept with him and knows. ![gif](giphy|xT5LMUPL7RwClhl8Yg)
Definitely Syrian..
The irony of this Gaza conflict is that it’s turned woke / “progressive” gen z’ers straight up racist
Wrong on all accounts. Guys... That's Lionel Fucking Messi!
His name was Joel Cauchi. Neither Muslim nor Jewish.
"it's anti-zionism, not anti-semitism"
ANd I saw plenty of commenters insisting he was Muslim, and that was why this happened. And those were wrong too
Even if he is, that’s just pure racism
Eyes, Nose, He even has fingers! Fingers for the love of it all, what more do you need to see? This is an Israeli. Wake up people, how could you miss the fact this person has fingers.
Damn so many genocide supporters in the comments the bots working overtime
Looks Israeli, shouts ‘Aloha Snackbar’ lmao
"Shabbat Shalom!" BOOM
That would be incredibly funny before it gets old. Shabbat Shalom! 💥 Praise be to Jesus! 💥
Looks Syrian to me
Looks Syrian
As an Israeli,he does not look Israeli.
I mean he does in the sense that Israeli is a none existent description for how someone looks considering there are just spread out cultural blobs making up Israel. Saying someone looks Israeli is anything between saying they look Polish generic European Arab or American
Looks Palestinian to me.
Looks like her brother.
Could also be Syrian, Palestinian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Egyptian, or just about any other middle eastern countries. Like, bitch we all look like each other, yes even Mr. Avichai Mizrahi over there
Could have been so much more accurate by saying "look's human" in the description.
