Re: Jewish Isn't a Race

ok..people are always like"anybody who doesn't like jewish people is a racist"or "hitler was a racist and killed a whole race"id like to say..Jewish isn't a race..it's a religion..it isn't in your blood and even though people say so and make stereotypes being jewish doesn't give you certain physical traitswhat if you're born into a Jewish family but then you later decide that you don't want to practice that faith anymore..im just saying it isnt a race..it's a belief and a religious groupthoughts?P.S I am not Jewish

I just hate when people are like "That's racist." when somebody says something about Jews

Re: Jewish Isn't a Race

If a white guy becomes Jewish then no, it's not racist I guess. It's just hate to people from the religion. But most of the original Jews were from the same place, it is a race. Hitler was killing people from their race. You want to reserve the word for your race or something?

Re: Jewish Isn't a Race

Jews are not a race, they are a religious group, they are from all over Europe. Good post.

<span style="font-family:Book Antiqua">Interestingly enough, I got into an argument with my friend about this same topic about a week ago at school. He told me about some incident concerning Mel Gibson drunk and claiming that Jews are ruining the economy of the US. I told him that that doesn't make Mel "racist", just a religion hater. He kept claiming that Jews are a race, so I let it slide. Good topic, though.</span>

In the Holocaust it wasn't Jews who were only killed btw...it was all people who were not 'pure' or of Aryan descent.

Re: Jewish Isn't a Race

There was this jewish guest speaker at my school last year that survived the Holocaust and has seen Hitler. She explained how he acted and how he looked like. I feel bad for that lady because she is the only person from her family that survived.Anyways, I don't think Jewish is a race but it is a religion just like Islam or Catholic.

I've heard people get all uppity about it (what the difference is, I don't know), but there are characteristics similar to people of that heritage. You can also convert to Judaism, but not many people do that anyway. Now as for them not all being from the same place, I don't see what that has to do with anything. They all originate from the same place, and probably have considerably more genetic isolation than most other people. Not all black people are from the same place. They have similar features. How are Jews different?

Re: Jewish Isn't a Race

Jewish is sort of a race, there are genetically differnt factors within the Jewish community, but this is because Jews tend to marry only other Jews, and with the constant "depopulationing" of the jewish people, the Genetic lines are getting more and more mixed. This is one reason why Jewish people are so succeptible(sp?) to certain dieses like T-sacs and Sycle-cell-anemia.

Re: Jewish Isn't a Race

Not all people from Israel are Jewish...Around 75% of Israel is Jewish, and around 15% are Muslims...etc...An Israelite is a jew and a member of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

Re: Jewish Isn't a Race

It is actually both. Look it up. It is possibly to be Jewish and have affliation to the religion. And it is possible to be Jewish and have to relation to the bloodline. Look it up.

Re: Jewish Isn't a Race

I think it's a disease. Of the 5 jews I know, only 1 of them is happy. And you can tell normally a jewish person. They just seem a little 'off' or strange. Not saying this to be particularly offensive, it's just a fact. There's almost always something "wrong" with them.
