Do you know the geographic origins of your DNA?Is being Jewish in one's genes?
Or
Is being a Jew about only practicing the religion?
I was under the impression it was in the genes. Hitler rounded up all Jews, whether they were religious or not.

East and West Slavic. amirite
Guno knows nothing about the Scythians migration. You have to go back over 3000 years to understand culture and religion. Israelites were nothing like modern day jews. Guno refuses to have this conversation with me.@goat @Guno צְבִי
I'm waiting for the resident Jew to weigh in on this. I don't say this in a derogatory way. Just the facts mam.
If you notice, he has an alliance with another poster and they act like a tag team in attacking.Guno knows nothing about the Scythians migration.

It's a religion. The Human Genome Project proved there's no such thing as different human "races". Race, like culture, is a social construct.Is being Jewish in one's genes?

That's what they'd like you to believe.It's a religion. The Human Genome Project proved there's no such thing as different human "races". Race, like culture, is a social construct.
Who is "they"? Obviously not science. Is it science-deniers? MAGAts? Anyone who believes in the "one drop of blood" theory of the 19th century?That's what they'd like you to believe.
Wow. Havig a bad day, Simon?@Guno צְבִי can attack me and send his emissary to clean up his mess.
I have no time for cowards.

It's what my ancestors experienced, Pograms in Poland and Hitler's Nazi Germany. One needn't be an observant Jew to be rounded up. All your science is just wonderful but man is still in many ways worse than animals.Who is "they"? Obviously not science. Is it science-deniers? MAGAts?

That was almost a hundred years ago. My ancestors were hunted by the Redcoats as being a subhuman species. People can be assholes but that doesn't change the facts about the Human Genome Project or that race and religion are social constructs.It's what my ancestors experienced, Pograms in Poland and Hitler's Nazi Germany.

Sorry friend, the antisemitism unfolding now in the US and Europe proves to me that my father and uncles were correct. You can hide your Jewishness all you want, but one day the man will tap you on the back and tell you you're a Jew, and say, come with me, at gunpoint.That was almost a hundred years ago.

If you and I were switched at birth, do you believe you'd grow up to be a middle-class Protestant or as a Jewish kid living among Protestants?
Which is why I support the Second Amendment.Sorry friend, the antisemitism unfolding now in the US and Europe proves to me that my father and uncles were correct.

Nice try, You are busted, you know nothing about HalachaAs you can see in the intro thread @guno is attacking me -- unprovoked - me thinks he does protest too loud. He claims I'm not a Jew in such a fashion that I suspect he is a convert.
