I feel like you are reading a lot into the grandparent comment. Seemed like a pretty innocuous question. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

  No, I'm sorry, but this is an important moral issue. The Jewish people have a right to exist. I'm not going to stand blithely by while people chip away at that by JAQing the proposition that there is even such a thing as the Jewish people.

    Do you feel the same about other peoples? It seems like a very over-the-top response to a common and thoroughly inoffensive understanding of Judaism as a religious rather than an ethnic group. I mean, how do you feel about similar questions regarding Palestinians?

    Of course they have a right to exist and to self identify as Jewish. The question is is whether it's a useful category for this purpose. I think it is. But you can also divide it up various ways - Levantine, Sephardic, Ashkenazi.... Are the Lemba Jewish according to you? Does it matter whether they're observant or not?
