I get it that maybe he was slightly brown, but he was a jew and jews are not particularly dark, but from this they came to the conclusion that he is black?
Jesus may not even have been necessarily brown-skinned despite being a Galilean Jew, anyway. He lived before Rome deported the Jews from Judea and long before the Arabs swept into the Levant, so there's a decent chance that he (and indeed other Jews at the time) would have physically had more in common with the other Aramaic-speaking Middle Easterners of the time.
Now since high school I've been friends with an Assyrian girl from northern Iraq, and she doesn't exactly look like the stereotypical Arab, heck she's paler than most white people I know. Obviously she isn't representative of every single Syriac out there, nor does this mean Jesus too must be pale as driven snow, but I'd buy that he was long before I'd buy that he looked like a Nubian as the first picture in the linked article suggests.
One of my neighbors is Egyptian and he is paler then I am, which is funny cause I am white and he is not, using leftist logic. I expect that he is not representative of Egyptians either, he is even some form of Christian.
A Coptic Christian, if I had to guess? They're what's left of the natives of Egypt, going back to Biblical times and beyond to Narmer, and still standing despite mounting persecution from Egypt's Arab Muslim majority (most recently Obama's favorites in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood). Suffice to say, they don't look anything like the kangz think they do. (See, for example, the outrage that crowd had when Rami Malek was cast as an Egyptian character some years back)
One of my previous bosses was Coptic, and he was pretty proud of his heritage - referred to his people as 'the true sons and daughters of the Pharaohs' & all that. He also had nuclear-hot takes about Islamic Arabs, to put it mildly.

As a gross generalization, Middle Eastern Catholics (Maronites, etc.) tend to be somewhat less based than members of Orthodox Churches (like the Copts). Every single time I see hair-raising regressivism from a Middle Eastern Christian, who really should know better, it's always a Catholic.
My cousin married into a Coptic family (very nice, and they knew each other since we were all in diapers, one of those childhood romances that worked), and while they're quite dark-skinned, they're definitely not "black".
Some form of Christian? 5-10% of the Egyptian population is Christian, and the Coptic Orthodox Church is one of the oldest Christian churches in the world.
But if he is lighter than you are, that is quite uncommon for Egyptians, as they tend to be somewhat dark by Middle Eastern standards, compared to say Syrians or Lebanese.
northern Lebanese mountain men are light skinned blondes with blue eyes but with Arab features: almond shaped eyes, big noses, bushy eyebrows, thick hair, etc.
Middle Eastern Jews are darker than the Ashkenazi ones that you are familiar with. You can look at the great Gad Sa'ad as to what his skin tone was likely to be.
They turn him black the same reason Anne Boleyn, William Shakespeare and Kang George of England are made black.
The thumbnail is a bit misleading, that's not what the the person being quoted is saying Jesus looks like, that's just a thumbnail, of a thumbnail in the article, of a different podcast that Jihad Watch did called "Black Jesus".

I assume he is mixed race, his mom I think is actually Caucasian. I did not know there were so many Christians in Egypt.
