> eg, the classic hook-nose propaganda - clearly a racial stereotype Please, do not repeat this filth. It is anti-Semitic nonsense that there is are “Jewish racial characteristics”. Jews come in every shape and skin tone. I know a very nice black man who is an African Immigrant and he is Jewish. There is no Jewish race - Judaism is only a religion.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_secularism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_secularism Jewish secularism comprises the non-religious ethnic Jewish people and the body of work produced by them. Among secular Jews, traditional Jewish holidays may be celebrated as historical and nature festivals, while life-cycle events, such as births, marriages, and deaths, may be marked in a secular manner.

Jewish race is a term. Different Jewish tribes/shared genetics is more accurate.

Converts and outliers are of course are excluded, but for people with a long Jewish ancestry, there are clusterings of genetic markers that uniquely identify them as distinct from non-Jews. There are different groups of Jews too. Judaism is well accepted as being both a race and a religion. Of course it has fuzzy borders with people who don't believe the religion but are genetically Jewish and vise versa, but so does every race and every religion. It's not helpful for thought to demonize an idea by calling it "filth". How can you consider possibilities if you've decided in advance what's clean and what's too dirty to even say?

  How long is "a long Jewish ancestry"? Hundreds of years? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Africa Judaism is not 'well accepted' as being a race, and it is quite dismissive for you to assume that other commenters have taken up their positions 'in advance' rather than having spent time on the topic before this conversation that led them to their position.
