This is what you said:

Not white, not European, not Caucasian, but "remarkably Jewish".

If you ignore all my points, respond to just this one.
I really, seriously don't think the photos in and of themselves have much value as evidence at all (more on that below). But what I'm calling preposterous isn't the idea of using the photos as evidence, it's the idea of looking at the photos and then saying "Oh what a pack of Jews they look like, that's another thing to throw on the pile of evidence pointing to Mossad!" And as I've said before, I do think Mossad is the prime suspect here, so it's not like I'm refusing to accept that possibility and trying to dismiss anything that incriminates them.

Yeah, the hit squad appears to be predominantly Caucasian. Yeah, if VEVAK or an Arab intelligence agency picked 20 people at random from their personnel files, they wouldn't come up with a mix that looks like that. Frankly, though, I don't think you or I or any of us is qualified to comment on how impractical it would be, or how close to "impossible" it would be, or whether it's "far-fetched bullshit", for an intelligence agency to get two dozen white-looking people for an operation like this. I really have no idea whether it's near-impossible or comparatively easy or somewhere in between, and I'm fairly sure you don't either. That's the sort of intelligence tradecraft thing that us ordinary civilians really can't guess at very effectively. The possibility of organized crime involvement (which was mentioned in some early reports on the killing, although I haven't heard much about it recently) makes it even harder to say anything meaningful about the impracticality of it.

Once again, I do think Mossad is the most likely culprit. I just don't think that the fact that the killers are "white-looking" is a point of evidence against Mossad.
