not sure that matters, like if you're a WASP the new testament isn't about your people.

I don't understand, what do you mean?

Also, the original biblical, old-testament meaning of "Israelite" includes blue-eyed, blonde-haired Aryans. Everything has a context.

Because you don't understand. The Israelites isn't the Jews. They steal and co-opt everything: the word Israel, now become a nationality called "Israelite" has no common meaning with the bible's use of the same term. They do this on purpose of course, so they can point to thousand-year-old texts and say: See? THAT'S US!

No. It isn't.
