Racism

[AngryOfTuebrook]

As Skiddy posted above, cultural factors are at least as good an indicator of ethnicity as any (spurious and false) notions of "race".

[Pidge]

Both are quite spurious in relation to actual people, these stats are only a pragmatic way to assess the demographics of the population, they aren't reflective of actual identities. They are exploratory more than definitive.

That's why I'm quite relaxed about someone defining their own ethnicity as they see fit (e.g. "I'm ethnically Jewish, even though I'm an atheist"). 

[Strontium]

Insofar as "race" means anything, it is generally indicative of a shared biological heritage, which is something that Jews have, being a tribe, or large extended family of people, some of whom follow the traditional tribal religion.

How can Jewish be a 'race' when I could convert to Judaism today? Same goes for all religions.

Without wishing to open a can of worms, I found this article quite interesting

Was it this thread where the discussion on Israelis in Palestine was mentioned?  
 

An Israeli was in a car crash yesterday, taken to a hospital in Jenin.  He was disconnected from life support, kidnapped and died.

Very grim. Unfortunately things like that happen a lot between the two states. Usually the other way around. Let's hope it doesn't kick off and more innocents die.

Some Jews are racist, I think it’s the second time I’ve said that in 2 days.  Imagine Israel, with those people in video, being the LEAST racist part of the entire area.  Fucked up.

Vile racist cunts. 

 

The Louis Theroux documentary shows how much vile racism there is over there. Truly evil.

More Arabs live in Israel than Jews live in the entire Muslim world.

 

Used to be the other way around of course, but most of the Jews were expelled. Fortunately it's Jews so it doesn't count.

Which is quite handy for when Israel fancy a game of house skittles with their bulldozers.

No idea why this quoted but is there any truth to the story about the Rabbinate in Israel now using 23 and Me to prove Ashkenazi Jewishness before marriage certificates can be issued?

Probably, they're Orthodox, they're pretty strict. Loads of people just hop over to Cyprus to get married instead.

[Captain Turdseye]

Is this still going? 
 

Come on, lads. There are other threads on here that you can post entertaining stories in. The essence of the GF. 
 

This is shit.

Then it concentrates the gene pool with predictable outcomes.

That allegation in Jenin is shocking. Sadly, it’s the very nature of conflict for innocents to die or be killed. That sadly includes youths and children. Sometimes 51 in a single year…

 

Which doesn’t provoke posts from certain users on here. Or widespread media attention. 
 

But, remember, it’s the Jewish people who don’t count, or something…

Theory is that all Ashkenazis originate from a pool of 350 people. They started using genetic testing because that caused them to be prone to a spinal disease that no one else can get.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Another neg for raising awareness of dead Palestinian children. 
 

Lovely stuff. Is any further proof needed that they don’t matter to some?

TBH you would not make their cut.

[Captain Turdseye]

Spinal diseases are all the rage these days. 
 

I won one myself a few years back.
