    Ehm, I guess you mean well, but Jewishness has nothing to do with their place of birth or their genetics. It’s a religion.

        And what “ethnicity” is that supposed to be? “White” Jews are for the most part ethnically and largely also genetically indistingishable from central Europeans.

        US Americans have a strange obsession with “race”, and Zionists played right into that by establishing the false idea that Jewishness is a race or ethnicity.

        In Europe this is a very uncommon view by the way, and most people consider Jewishness a purely religious description and the last people that tried to make it an ethnic description were literal Nazis.

          Funnily enough, middle Eastern Jews have DNA almost identical to Palestinians, Ashkenazi have European DNA.

            Indeed. And there are many other distict groups that are Jewish, such as those from Ethiopia and Marroco, that claim some historical relationship to Israel but are otherwise genetically and ethnically entirely different. The only real commonality is their religion and some closely related cultural practises.

              It’s ironic that nowadays, certain semitic people’s semitism has been erased so that noticing their genocide is now called antisemitic.
