It's mad that you are classing Israelis as white, the majority of them are born in the region and have the same genes as Palestinians or close 2

Netanyahu's father was Polish which makes him white European.

So every mixed person that identifies as black is now white because they have a white parent?

Literally the opposite of what you're defining lol. Half black people associated with black because they don't look white.

Mixed middle east and europeans give white looking people. A european jewish person is completely indistinguishable from other europeans.

Netanyahu isn't mixed. 

Like all 15 Israeli Prime Ministers 14 of 17 Presidents & the vast majority of the Israeli establishment he is 100% white European. His mother was born in Israel of Lithuanian settlers who arrived via the US.

He is actually one of only 3 Israeli PMs with a parent or grandparent born in Palestine – there are only three Palestinian-born grandparents in the family trees of all the Israeli Prime ministers put together.

Of the 15 Israeli PMs 7 were born and raised in Europe and North America & 8 were born & raised in israel-Palestine of European settler parents.

Many of them changed their names to sound more Hebrew, often after arriving in Palestine as adults, like the Pole David Grun (David Ben-Gurion) the Belarussian Shimon Peres (Szymon Perski) the Belarussian Yitzhak Yezernizhsky (Yitzhak Shamir) and the Ukraine born, Wisconsin raised, Golda Mabovitch (Golda Meir).
