I'm pretty sure middle eastern people of the time had somewhat brown skin.

The reference is possibly an oblique one to Falasha Jews from Ethiopia who went to live in Israel in the 1970s. (I recall a photo of Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin addressing them.)

The Jews make up all the races on earth! A Jew is not one outwardly circumcised but one who is inwardly.

Not sure what the OP is asking but as Jesus was Jew in a Jewish country it stands to reason he and his first followers would be swarthy skinned with dark hair and eyes. Why do you ask>
That's NOT Jesus!

Isaiah 53:2-3
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him,
nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
he was despised, and we held him in low esteem.

All of the Tribes of Jacob were Isrealites, But all of the Israelites were not Jews. However they were included in the Coveneants that God gave to the Israelites in Chapter 29 of Deuteronomy. Read the whole chapter and pay close attention to Verses 9 thru 15. While your in Deuteronomy, at chapter 29 turn back and read chapter 28 It sounds like just what is happening in our country. Do you think we might be part of the lost ten tribes? Gods Covenants are everlasting. Not all the slaves that were freed were of the ten tribes.

What do I think about them? Well not much, do I ever think about them? Not much. Seen a few videos, they seem to be extremists, and I heard some of their outdoor preaching, very confrontational.

from the web some info,

In late 2008, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) wrote that "the extremist fringe of the Hebrew Israelite movement" is black supremacist. It also wrote that the members of such groups "believe that Jews are devilish impostors and ... openly condemn whites as evil personified, deserving only death or slavery". The SPLC also wrote that "most Hebrew Israelites are neither explicitly racist nor anti-Semitic and do not advocate violence".[75]

The Black Hebrew groups that are characterized as black supremacist by the SPLC include the Israelite School of Universal Practical Knowledge,[76] the Nation of Yahweh[77] and the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ.[75] Also, the Anti-Defamation League has written that the "12 Tribes of Israel" website, which is maintained by a Black Hebrew group, promotes black supremacy.[78]

As of December 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center "lists 144 Black Hebrew Israelite organizations as black separatist hate groups because of their antisemitic and anti-white beliefs".[17][needs context]

A 1999 FBI terrorism risk assessment report stated that "violent radical fringe members" of the Black Hebrew Israelite movement hold "beliefs [that] bear a striking resemblance to the Christian Identity theology practiced by many white supremacists".[79][80] It also reported that "the overwhelming majority of [Black Hebrew Israelites] are unlikely to engage in violence."[79]

On December 10, 2019, two people who had expressed interest in the Black Hebrew Israelite movement were killed in a shootout with police after killing a police detective at Bayview Cemetery and three people at the JC Kosher Supermarket in Jersey City, New Jersey: the Jewish co-owner of the grocery store, an employee, and a Jewish shopper. Authorities treated the incident as an act of domestic terrorism.[81] Capers Funnye, who has been the rabbi for the past 26 years of the 200-member Beth Shalom B'nai Zaken Ethiopian Hebrew Congregation,[82][83] condemned the attack and said that his community was "gripped by sadness" over "the heinous actions of two disturbed individuals who cloaked themselves in anti-Semitism and hate-filled rhetoric". He also criticized the media reports by saying it was "unfortunate that the media uses the term 'Black Hebrew Israelites' without distinction as if the description is a one size fits all and it is absolutely not!" Funnye emphasized that "we don't want to be seen as some radical fringe group with a false narrative because we are black and profess Judaism; we are Torah-oriented Jews."[84]

On December 28, 2019, a man with a machete attacked several Orthodox Jewish people during Hanukkah celebrations in a house in Monsey, New York. Authorities revealed the fact that his journals included what appeared to be a reference to Black Hebrew Israelites stating that "Hebrew Israelites" have taken from "ebinoid Israelites".[85]

The only real Israelite is a Truly born again Christian.

Race does not come into it at all. you are one with the Holy Spirit and abiding in the Vine is the real issue.

Who was it that gave the Title Israelite to ? Two people in the Bible were given the Title in fact and that was Jacob, by an Angel and Nathaniel by Jesus Christ himself.
One should study, Why was it so that the two got the Title, that they were truly an Israelite ? But why do most people not know about the Key foundations of Israel and why do so many go to hide the fact. or go to great lengths to muddy the waters on such an issue. Why do so many play on the stupid so called Race card ?

Most people are under delusions and deceptions of this world ! so that they will run about like a mad dog and this is because of the power of Sin in this world ! such people are possessed by the works of Satan ! They are going to try and make something ? in there own image ? such are their gods !

All people are religious regardless what they may claim, even Communism is a religion in fact and full of idolising morons who are totally lost.

I don't know about Hebrew, but there were black Iraelites who received the covenants of God. all different races who were with the 12 Tribes after the Exodus. The Covenanats that God made on Mt Horeb and also in Deuteronomy 29, should be read by all to understand that his promises were not just for the Jews, "but for all who were there, and also for those who were not there" If God said it, why is there any dispute.
