I see several non white middle easterners in that picture.
You want to point out the "non white middle easterners" in the picture? You know... for those of us who doesn't work on the "one-drop rule."
About half of Israeli Jews are of north African or middle eastern descent. That's not a "one drop" thing; literally 25% of Israeli Jews were either born or have a father who was born in Asia (outside of Israel) or Africa. The second largest group of first or second generation immigrants are Moroccan Jews.
But in the US context, North Africans and Middle Easterners are considered white, at least as far as the census goes.
I'm guessing they all just coincidentally happen to be off sick every time people take pictures inside the Knesset, huh?
Do tell... does that perhaps explain why Israel's economic and political structures seem to be dominated by European Jewish people?
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.
