Both leftists and rightists often frame the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a race war between whites and coloreds, but the genetic distance between Jews and Arabs is actually quite minimal.
Most Europeans, just a century ago, regarded Jews as foreign and called them Levantines. Indeed, the Jewish phenotype sticks out like a thumb in Europe.
Arabs in general are a Semitic people like Jews and Palestinians in particular descend (partially) from the original Israelites.
Based on race alone, most Jews should feel more kinship with Arabs than with Europeans, and the Mizrahim should feel more kinship with Arabs than with the Ashkenazim!
Religion is a factor, but should not be significant, as Israel is a secular state and most Israelis are irreligious.
