If you saw a picture of this guy in the knesset, would you visually recognize that his family is Moroccan? Does this former deputy prime minister look European to you despite having been born in Iraq?. Here’s another Israeli politician who was literally born in Baghdad.

As an American, these people would very clearly be considered white. Honestly, the prime minister of Lebanon and the head of Fatah also code as white to me.

Edit: actually, doing a reverse image search, that’s a picture of the Israeli Supreme Court. I think the woman on the right might be Gila Canfy Steinitz, the “first female Mizrahi justice”. News articles aren’t more specific than that for where her family is from, but yeah - somewhere in the middle east or north africa.
