What bothers me is the conflation of Judaism to a race.
I DO have problems with Judaism as I do with all other organized religion. Idk what a white guy like Netanyahu has to do with anything though.
"Jewish" is not a race.
Would that it were. Jews benefit from white privilege, however the identity is not just a belief. Antisemitism frames jews as non-white and thus, jews face unique race-like prejudice other white people don't. It's nit like nazis look the other way when a jew converts to Christianity, they see "jewish" as a blood type. Similarly there is nothing real about race, until white supremacy enforces a hierarchy based in it.
(Edit: note, none if this is a defense of the ethnostate of israel)
I completely agree with you. I think it's actually falling into the Nazi propaganda to believe that the Jewish people are a race.
Ideally, we should stop defining culture by race.
As such as equally reductive to define it by religion, though.
Judaism is a religion but "Jewish" is an ethnicity that unfortunately happens to share a lot of the same terminology as the religion. A whole lot of Jews don't practice Judaism.
Right, and I think that classification is erroneous and should not exist.
Race as a concept is already kind of dumb, but tying it to any sort of religious ethnicities is also dumb.
There is only debate about that because of thousands of years of persecution very particular to Jewish history.
Being that it is one of the few religions that only survived (not because of temples and cities) because they wrote down their customs in a few books that also allow you to criticise and debate about what is written.
So the only reason why Jewish people survived in certain points was not by grabing on to religion but yes to the culture.
So the it's like they where a country without borders or physical location, but the books provided the sense of unity normal countries have, like Spain or Finland, but nearly in written
Yeah, but that's true of a lot of religions. Even Scientologists have a culture that transcends borders, but I don't think we should be making a Scientologist state.
I really think people are underselling the dangers of religion just because it is popular to like this religion right now.
Theocracy is bad regardless of who perveys it.
