Are Jews White?
In short, no. I'll explain below.
Three factors that make a people are language, ethnicity and culture.
Ethnicity: Their DNA cluster is outside of all Europeans, so not "White" by even the broad category. They are a product of several small admixtures over
time. Ancient NW Semites WERE similar to Europeans, but have since added similar admixture as the Jews, such as small amounts of Turkic, sub Saharan and lower Arabian (similar to Ethiopian) with some maternal Southern Italian. Jews also show almost no ancient Hebrew ancestry,
While Palestinians and especially Samaritans do (Samaritans being almost identical to the ancient).
Culture: Jews have maintained a distinct: separate culture from Europeans, with the Talmud being written in Babylon several centuries after Christ.
Language: While Jews speak the local European languages or Yiddish, they still maintain and use Hebrew. Many European peoples for speak non Indo-European languages, but they're tied to those people. In summary, by all three factors, Jews aren't White, i.e. European.
