Depends.
Are you talking about Ashkenazi Jews, who are from Europe and make up the vast majority of Israelis?
Yes, they’re white.
Are you talking about Jews from Yemen or the family of Safiyya bint Huyyay (wife of Muhammad pbuh)
No. Not white.
There are quite a few middle easterners who are very pale. Idk why this stereotype keeps being pushed that everybody in the middle east looks like the characters from Aladdin.
