Do Israelis not also have tans?

[-] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

The majority of Jews and Israeli people are of European Caucuses descent today. Very few are descendents of the Semites. Ironically, the majority of Palestinians are closer descendents of the Semites than the current global Jewish population... Hmm...

I was thinking more I was thinking more of tans from sunlight. And guessing you get a decent amount of sun in Israel as you do in Portugal. It seems like the original comment was saying Israelis are more white than Portuguese. I was just wondering if that’s really true, or at least a common perception anyway.

Not as sexy as ours, evidently.

Not the ones in power for the most part. An interesting historical fact is that Zionism didn't really take off in terms of Europeans headed to Palestine until a few years after sunscreen was invented.

This might actually be true. When was sunscreen invented?
