A Palestinian and a European Ashkenazi Jew

A Palestinian woman passes by a Jewish officer. The Jewish woman on the right claims to be coming back to Palestine (after 2000 years, is it?),but by all appearances, she looks as European as it gets. People who look like her never lived in the Middle East. People who look like Nigerians do not claim to originate from China and European Jews do not originate from the Middle East. Why does this very straightforward logic seem to gloss over lots of folks? See link blow.
