Yeah these people are idiots who know nothing of history. They just assume modern Palestinian Arabs used to live there 2,000 years ago.
The people who inhabited the area at the time of Jesus were Jews, not Arabs.
Also these morons assume all people in that region look like dark ass bedouins. I guess they've never seen what the leader of Syria looks like, or the former leader of Egypt.
It's the same people who share memes like this unironically. They have no idea that the sole reason that names like: Peter, John, James, Matthew, etc. are popular in Europe, is because of the spread of Christianity. The Middle East was a very different place before the Muslims took over. It would be weird if Jesus had a disciple named Muhammad, even though that's the most popular boy's name in the Middle East now.
Presumably, it was a name before Muhammad became famous, but it was likely only confined to the Arab peninsula. I never heard it referenced in the broader Middle East, prior to Islam.
I used to be an atheist, and it was shared several times in atheist circles. It was taken seriously. I specifically looked it up because I remembered it. I thought that it was stupid even back then.
He would have been Mediterranean. He wasn't exactly Greek-European-Mediterranean.
Alternatively, we could also say he was jewish, but he probably wouldn't have looked like any modern European jews. He would have been some kind of Mediterranean Semite. You're right that he certainly wouldn't have been black or arab.
I mean, due to the area and Romans occupying the area, the most I can go with is Mediterranean which, thanks to leftist definitions, IS WHITE.
Leftists can't tell the difference between Russian, Eastern European, central European, northern European and even Mediterranean and just label it all white but shouldn't be surprising, they can't tell Chinese from Japanese and think black Americans are the same as Africans...
Jesus Christ wasn’t a Colombian mule driver.
We can probably get a chain of these going.
Jesus didn't fuck goats.
Jesus didn't look like he would be running a 7-11.
Jesus was not swarthy.
Christ was white. The arab race didn't exist in that part of the world for centuries after His death and resurrection.

Muhammad wasn't even born for nearly 600 years.
These people are retarded.

I refuse to believe anyone does that. It's obviously a joke.

How about all the blue eyed Iranians?
White replacement has been happening for much longer than people think...
He would be a tanned Jewish man. Not as dark as that image, and not as white as european classical paintings.
"white" meh.

Since Jesus was from Galilee, someone should just examine the skulls of Galileans during the time he was alive.
This would surely prove Jesus was a Nordic white.
Libtards trying to tell Christians about how they should be as Christians, episode 1397523744.
Jesus Christ was white. Pilate's letter and other documents confirm this. Black or Arab Jesus is just another demoralizing lie.
Jesus might have been white or just a regular brown Semitic Jew, BUT not because of any information found in that letter.
It is clearly a Renaissance forgery written in LATE Latin, even the spacing.
Would love to hear about the other documents you refer to!
... and it was written in ballpoint pen!
Bro, it would be like defending a "genuine" Shakespeare written in Ebonics.
Pilate couldn't have written in LATE Latin.
It's tarded.
Buh, buh, muh Scandinavian Jeezus!
But truly open to hear any real evidence you might have.

I don't care if Jesus was white, brown, or blue.
Did He save my soul?
That's all that matters.
Blue Jesus sounds cool.
Oy vey.
(In case I have to spell it out, he was a JEW. I don't think Jews would like the idea of historical Jews being represented by goat fuckers.)
Do we have any examples of what Mediterranean Semites would have looked like at the time?
There's bound to be some examples of depictions of jews around the time of Jesus.
First thing that comes to my mind is this 2nd century mosaic of a Galilean from Sepphoris, Mary's hometown. Not exactly white as the driven snow (especially unlikely in Jesus' case, considering he worked as a carpenter and wouldn't have gotten to lounge around indoors like some pampered aristocrat) but not a dark as a Bedouin from the Nejdi desert, much less an actual black guy either.
Lot's of red blush in there.
That guy on the left seems like he's not even Lebanese. He's almost as dark as an Indian.
Hey there, Noam. How's it going in Bethlehem?
Bottom one should be swapped
Do these people know what jews look like
I don't see any benefit in believing Jesus was ugly. I'm not even gonna address ethnicity. I don't like ugly people, how about that?
Jesus was a Jew. I've never seen a Jew that looked like the image on the left.
I've seen plenty of Jews that look like the the image on the right.
Here's the thing ... Jesus is a virgin birth ... the direct progeny of God ... and by Pilate's own account, Jesus was white and blue-eye'd.
I don't feel like we can call Palestine "West Asia". I think you have to get past the Ural Mountains for that.
I doubt it would have been a tryst, it would have been more likely to have been a rape if the Romans were involved.
That being said, I don't think there are any such accounts or suggestions of such a thing.
Let's not be to hasty. The Romans are Latin. They're hardly White.
See, I can be cheeky too.
