Jews have kept their bloodlines in tact.
red hair is not a genetic trait of the original israelites. nice rose-coloured glasses you're wearing, though.....
The variability of the Hebrew race seems to manifest itself not only in the number of unusually gifted men, but in the degree to which the race as a
whole appears to adapt itself to new environments. In order to understand this matter let us try to gain a clear idea of the physical characteristics
of the Jews. It is well recognized that there are two main branches. The Ashkenazim center chiefly in Poland and spread out to the neighboring parts
of Russia, Germany, and Austria, and even to Roumania and the Caucasus. They form nearly nine tenths of the race. The other branch is the Shephardim
who center in Spain and Portugal, but have spread to other Mediterranean countries as well as to Holland and England. Among the Ashkenazim blond or
red hair, and gray or blue eyes are much more common than among their Mediterranean brothers. Speaking roughly about 20 per cent belong to this type.
The beard of the Ashkenazim is apt to be shorter than that of the Shephardim, the body stouter, and the general aspect less melancholy. An even more
widespread quality is that the heads of the northern Jews, that is, of the Ashkenazim, are broader and have higher cheek-bones than those of the
southern Shephardim. So great is the difference that the Jews of the Caucasus are uncommonly broad-headed, while those of North Africa are markedly
long-headed. In addition to the general difference between the two branches of the race, there are still more significant differences between the
various parts of the Ashkenazim. A comparison of the Jewish and non-Jewish parts of the population in different sections of Germany, Poland, Austria,
Russia, Roumania, and Bulgaria shows that both the stature and the shape of the head vary among the Jews almost exactly as among the Gentiles. On the
other hand, the degree of blondness by no means varies in harmony with that of the surrounding non-Jewish population. Thus it appears that the Jewish
race is so variable that its different portions present distinct racial characteristics.

once again, the ashkeNAZIm come up as the majority of the 'modern jew'. i bet you're seeing red now. it's funny how after the obvious fact that
interbreeding with other races caused diversity in followers of the jewish faith's genetic makeup from region to region, this guy still calls it a
'race'.
i also like(NOT!) his comparison of blacks and jews.
judaism is a blueprint for a resilient, strong culture. it is NOT a genetic trait. it is the respect for higher learning, and the respect of the
wisdom of elders that keeps this FAITH alive(although, i'm sure the myth that you are one of 'god's chosen people', doesn't hurt.)
