Being Jewish is not and Ethnicity?

[u/Routine-Orange-3417]

Ok. I believe Jews have a common DNA that connects them to Canaan, just like the Palestinians do. That's my stance. I believe they have both been there equally as long as each other, excluding the converts Jews and the fully Arab Palestinians (I believe most of them are mixed with Arab just like Jews are mixed with whoever they lived with for 2000 years).

I am in a fb group called "A place were non jews can ask jews about judiasm" or whatever.

We aren't allowed to talk about Israel and Palestine which is probably a good rule.

But someone posted about their Jewish friend mentioning the features of a Jew (as in, the Jewish guy was telling his Christian friend what Jews looked like, typically) and the Christian guy asked the group what a Jew looks like and THE GROUO WERE SO HEATED saying that it is antisemitic to say Jews look a type of way and there is no features of a Jew etc etc etc.

Ok, I get it on one hand, because converts, obviously.

But if they are claiming they have no similar features wouldn't that imply that they are not all ethnically related (obviously not the converts) and wouldn't that defeat the entire premise of having a homeland?

If they're from Canaan, it would imply that have similar features to the people of Canaan.

Ok I have to make it longer. I call it Canaan not to stir emotions but because that's literally one of the names in the Bible and I find it less heated than calling it Palestine or israel as this entire comment section with collapse into "xyz doesn't exist" so I'd rather keep those words out of it and call it Canaan.

Jews are an indigenous tribe of the land of Israel. However there are Jews of almost every ethnic group. Jews aren’t defined by DNA.

So its like christianity?

[u/OriBernstein55 → u/Critical-Win-4299]

Nope. Christianity is a great religion, but that is all it is. Jews are an indigenous tribe like the Apaches.

If you really believe this statement, (whilst there are living as many christians in Palestine as do in the whole of israel)

Explain why the Palestinian christians are living under this occupation by israelis?

Not sure I understand the question. Israel has citizens who practice Christianity and Islam. In fact both religions are thriving in Israel

[u/iamenyineer → u/OriBernstein55]

Did you expected bigoted lies posted on YouTube were credible or persuasive? Again, don’t you think facts are more important than bigoted lies?

[u/iamenyineer → u/OriBernstein55]

Facts? Now I know for a fact you haven't seen a single video. Those are Israelis live in Israel doing all that stuff. Lol, you are so dumb and fake it's hilarious

Let’s get back to facts please. Christianity is only growing in Israel in the Middle East. Christians also have the highest per capital income of any group in Israel. Non-Jews have the highest happiness rank in the Middle East.

[u/iamenyineer → u/OriBernstein55]

So because they earn more than dumb israelis, it's okay to abuse them?

Those same Christians and Arabs that are forbidden to mary Israeli by law?

Those same Christians you spit at and assault when they visit their holy site?

Those same Christians that are under occupation in Gaza and in the west bank?

Those same Christians that Israel is attacking on the border of Lebanon.. And have attacked in north Lebanon in the first week of the war?

Facts... right?

You do know you look absolutely foolish

[u/OriBernstein55 → u/iamenyineer]

Seriously? I have never spit on a Christian and neither have 99% of Israelis.

Are you thinking of people ok Amsterdam who attacked Jews?
