well Assyrians for some reason are the northern west asians that look the least like us . i actually didnt know where to put them exactly

and it does seem to me that palestinian christians look a little different from muslims but i could be wrong
Idk about Europe but most Palestinian Muslims I've seen in the US looked very light and some even pass as regular white people.

^Do you think Kurds overlap with Maltese? I think they're quite interesting - they're Europeans but semitic and look like a blend of southern Italians and North Africans.

What about Tunisians and Algerians overlapping w/ maltese?

Bro Palestinian Muslims and Christians look the same also if Assyrians can overlap w/ kurds than so can Palis cause Assyrians are kinda eastern looking at least the ones I've seen in America, more so than Palistinian Muslims.

I don't mean to cherrypick and Idk if this guy is typical for his ethnicity,
this Patrick Bet David and he's half Assyrian half Armenian from Iran. He looks more Arabian than Kurdish to me, in some pics I even thought he was Punjabi,

I don't know if Assyrians overlap with Kurds or not, but you are absolutely absurd to claim that Assyrians look anything like Palestinians.
Even Palestinian Christians do not look like Assyrians so for sure Palestinian Moslem do not resemble Assyrians either.
Palestinians are south Levantines and look more like Egyptians than Assyrians who are Northern Mesopotamians.
As a matter of fact the majority of Palestinians do not even look like their Northern Levantines cousins like Syrians or Lebanese.
I am sure you can cherry pick photos of Assyrians that can look South Indian or Pakistani's too, but that does not mean the average looking Assyrian does.

Just because Maltese language has some Semitic influence does not make their race Semite. They are as Europeans as all other Southern Europeans.
You need to separate language from DNA and ethnic origin.

if it’s true people in the west impossible to recognize kurds but usually (not all kurd and turk sure) people guess who’s kurd and who’s turk.

of course there are overlap but turks and kurds are not most similar. even genetically it doesn’t make sense.

where do you mean ?

here in Germany even Turks can often not differentate between Turks and Kurds

central and eastern Turks are fairly close to Kurds genetically too

How do you know that he inherited his looks from his Assyrian side and not from his Armenian one?

Because he looks more Assyrian. Dude is almost a copy-paste of his Assyrian father.
If you know how his father looks and he looks like his dad then O.K he looks Assyrian.
I didn't say he does not look Assyrian, I just questioned how he knew since the person is mixed and could have looked as either side.
