Christ was a Jewish Rabbi, so he would have looked like them.
No matter where the various Jews came from today, they started in Israel and a lot more area like most of Egypt that used to be theirs as well.

The Middle Eastern Jews would be tan, not light skinned or black.

Maybe. Assuming that there was a narrow range of "like them" and that you or I have any clue what "like them" means. I find no support for either belief.

Which is a broad range of phenotypes. Even within that range, did Jesus look more like Bibi Netanyahu or like Hosni Mubarak? I can't say. Neither can you.

Only if you tweak your terms to match your beliefs. A whole lot of Israelis are darker-skinned than Colin Powell and Barack Obama, who are black, and lighter-skinned than George Hamilton, who is white. There is more genetic and phenotypic variation within each "race" than there is between them.
