Again... Jews are not a race unless specifically directed towards those people originating from a specific region. Jews refers to people practicing Judaism. If you're suggesting Judaism prevents people from other races, then in fact that would be racist.

> Again... Jews are not a race unless specifically directed towards those people originating from a specific region. You are fairly unique globally in this view. My understanding is that you realise Jews are an ethno-religious group, but you believe criticism of Jews is generally based around religious ideas rather than race. My belief is that unless religious law is specifically mentioned the simplest case - racism - is the most likely reason. Occam's razor and all.

  So you're telling me that the belief some people have that Jews control money has to do where there from and not the religious teachings? Does that mean that if I talk bad about Christianity that I am racist as well?

    1. Yes. 2. No Christianity isn’t a race. You could also speak about the negative parts of Jewish religion, ie genital mutilation or orthodox people asking others to use electricity for them, which would be reasonable criticisms.

      Jews or Jewish can refer to people that practice Judaism. If you're saying that people that aren't descendents from the region can't be Jews then that is racist. BTW it isn't just circumcision but spreading herpes to newborns after sucking on the circumcised penises.

        > Jews or Jewish can refer to people that practice Judaism. It can! I've acknowledged as such in the two threads. > If you're saying that people that aren't descendents from the region can't be Jews then that is racist. I haven't said that. It looks like you're just being inflammatory rather than having any kind of response to my points. HN needs a block feature. dang?
