Race ? Let this term to old 19 th century european culture and stop wasting time looking for genes afer twenty century. All this genetic criteria are easily defined by ideological view. For instance latest genetical researcher in Italy pretend to show that italian genetic has no changed over twenty century as well and I hope that basing on this someone on the right of this country would not claim that Italians are still the Romans. Race is maybe a correct term for animals not forhuman beings defined by their culture. Remember A Einstein – asked about his race was he answered “human “.

Less. Way less. So much less that less is not the right word. What a sight that would be. But in fact, the end of all the Indians was sealed with the Cherokee tragedy, starting with Andrew Jackson’s refusal to enforce federal law and the decision of the Supreme Court. So there might already be some blindness. The singularity of the Cherokees was not unknown.

How about the Cherokees?

So if the Cherokees might be Jewish, does that make the Trail of Tears more or less tragic to the lefti community? Just trying to keep up with current fashion.

Tatyana, I know repeating something doesn’t make it true. I don’t need to make my statement true–it’s true from the start. The purpose of the repetition was to surmount excessive cranial diameters.

Neo,
yes, I know we are not closed people – in principle. That’s why I see so many young couples on Manhattan streets: he – a Jew and she – a Chinese, with a charming baby in a stroller. Although the goyim all over the world (the word Mr. Britain finds so offensive) did all they could to keep us compact – as nyomythus pointed out.

Still, as you pointed out in the post, only 30% of our genes have non-Jewish markers. And I like it this way – I don’t want my people to dissipate among nations.

Tatyana: perhaps what is meant is that, although in general Jews do resemble each other genetically (as the article and research finds), it is not a racially closed group. It is open to converts of any race or background. There are also subgroups (such as the Ethiopian Jews) that are genetically different from most Jews.

Jewishness is not defined by race.

As if if you say it 500 times, it becomes true.

Daniel: I can recognize Ashkenazi Jews from Russia, Poland and Ukraine on the street. I’m sure Irish recognize their Jews and Eskimo – theirs (if they exist).

Because we are different. One people in among multitude of others.

Gringo: this demonstrates the truth of the saying: what do Jews look like? The answer is: they look like anybody.

(Visit Israel and you’ll see it — black Jews, Oriental Jews, redheaded Irish Jews, Iranian Jews, Iraqi Jews, Ladino-speaking South American Jews, and so on. I haven’t heard yet of a tribe of Eskimo Jews, but that’s probably just a matter of time.)

Or, in the formulation of Harry Golden: Jews are just like everyone else, only more so.

Irrelevant.
Irrelevant.
And for the third time: Irrelevant.

Like I said back in the Poland thread, Jewishness is not defined by racial criteria. The biological component is important–one born of a non-Jewish woman is not a Jew–but the Jewish nation is not a racially-closed club. Though the rabbis on the conversion panels do everything they can to discourage prospective converts, in order to be absolutely sure the wish to convert comes from the motive of sincerity (meaning: the conviction that Judaism is the Truth), potentially any person from any race can become a Jew.

Though the Khazar Convert hypothesis of Askhenazi Jewry has been thoroughly debunked, it wouldn’t matter even if it were true. As Steven Plaut says, in his excellent article The Khazar Myth and the New Anti-Semitism: “If all Ashkenazi Jews were indeed converted Khazars, as the racial anti-Zionists claim, they would be no less legitimately Jews – and, as such, would have the same legitimate claims to the Jewish homeland as any other group of Jews.”

Because, contrary to what the Left, the so very devoutly anti-racist Left, says,

Jewishness is not defined by race.
Jewishness is not defined by race.
And for the third time: Jewishness is not defined by race.
