It's important to understand WHY Betar woudl post something like this.
As Israel is seen more and more as a settler-colonial state, they want to inoculate themselves against accusations of white supremacy (seeing that mostly European descendants make up the Israeli government).
As others have correctly pointed out, Jews have often not been considered on the same level as "whites", but instead as a specific evil/wicked race (see Henry Ford, Hitler, etc.). Betar is saying that the racists who didn't see Jews as white, despite being Caucasian, were right.
Also, obviously, there are Jews who are non-white
