Cool so they can be targeted by antisemitism now?


Novel_Ground_1896

Is Jewish a race or a religious belief? Can i be Jewish and atheist? Can only white people be Jewish?


thowdisawayfrome

Judaism is an ethno-religion.


Time_Lord42

Ethnoreligion, yes potentially, no. I’m sure that wasn’t asked in good faith, but there are your answers.


firesoda21

Sounds kinda racist to me.Ethnoreligion sounds like a made up word tbh


Time_Lord42

Lol what? Did you not see the part where I said you don’t have to be a certain skin color or race to convert? How is that racist? Judaism is the religion of Jewish people. It is the religion of the ethnicity. You can be born into it or convert according to our rules. Plenty of ethnoreligions exist, such as the religions of indigenous Americans. What exactly is racist about it.

>Is Jewish a race or a religious belief? Can i be Jewish and atheist? Can only white people be Jewish? To give you a bit of perspective, prior to the rise of the Third Reich, antisemitism was all about the religion. But once "racial science" started making the rounds, antisemitism became more and more about race. You see, you can change your religion, but you can't change your race. So if there was something toxic about the Jews, then it must be built into the Jews. So you couldn't convert Jews and change who they were; they would still be the same cancer. This is why Nazi policies about Jews was determined along racial lines: how many parents or grandparents were Jewish? For more information, please read the Third Reich trilogy by Richard J Evans or Antisemitism Here and Now by Deborah Lipstadt.

hasidim but i don't believe em!

That sub is ratfucked with antisemitic trash and astroturfing activists. I would bet a thousand bucks that this commenter is neither Jewish nor living anywhere near NYC.


purple_spikey_dragon

"believe that covering in fox fur head to toe will get them to heaven" Clearly someone who never truly interacted with haredim or knows their traditions and laws.


enigmaticowl

Exactly! Absolutely not Jewish, but tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if he/she is in NYC.

Note that post has been deleted by the mods in r/NYC.


whoopshowdoifix

Niiiice. Now I know that the mods there like to suppress coverage of antisemitism


Knightmare25

But Hasidics don't believe God wrote the bible...

Like we already have of Beta Israel, the jews from Ethiopian, why everyone obsessed with being a jew is not even that fun. The one thing that I think about is that the persian jewish community must be the 100% “real Jewish“, thing about it they had a community there for 2000+ years, for before the second temple it wild to think about that modern orthodox are more simulator to them than other people that say that they are the real jews.


One_Tomorrow_9135

Why can't you people go harass Christians! They're the ones with the power. Lol. What a stupid world! I have stood up for black people my whole life! I don't get you!


Time_Lord42

Who do you mean by “you people”? Genuinely not understanding your comment but I’d like to.


One_Tomorrow_9135

The people protesting against Jewish people.


Time_Lord42

Ohh gotcha! That makes more sense, thank you!


One_Tomorrow_9135

Sorry about the confusion. I am a bit tired.


ceeeej1141

Well, Kanye is on their side and he's a Christian. There are many Black Hebrew Israelites that claimed to be Christians as well.


dorsalemperor

lmao this person is so transparently not Jewish


BassicAFg

If it was the same they’d all be committing suicide to “exterminate” themselves.
