Even today, Jews are often depicted in the media as having extra-large and hooked noses, perpetuating the myth and hateful stereotype of the "Jewish nose." This stereotype has persisted for centuries, even though scientific studies have disproven the notion that Jewish noses are larger than those of other ethnicities. As a result, nose jobs have become a norm and are sometimes even encouraged within many Jewish communities. This harmful stereotype continues to affect the perception of Jewish people, despite the evidence against it.
While some Jews may share similar characteristics to other Middle Eastern peoples because the Jewish People originate from the Land of Israel, which is in the Middle East, the singular stereotype of the "Jewish nose" persists and serves as a dangerous and often harmful rhetoric that has no basis in reality.
