The geneticist, Harry Ostrer, in his latest book, Legacy: A Genetic History of the Jewish People, is very keen to present all of the genetic evidence that apparently demonstrates that we, the Jewish People, are a race. I’m not coming from a place of liberal discomfort...

Jews are not a race, but a nation
The notion that we are a race is destructive. If the Jews are a race, then Zionism is racism. If the Jews are a race, then parents who don’t want their children to intermarry are racists.

- By Tzimmes

- 02:29AM
We Jews will not be defined by ill informed and ignorant posters. 1/ We are a tribe with a unique culture and religion. 2/ We have certain genetic markers as a group.originating in the Middle East /Israel 3/ A person can join the tribe or adopt the religion. 4/ A person can adopt the religion without being of Jewish racial origin.. Those that wish to deny these facts are attempting to disenfranchise our connection to the land of Israel.

Then according to your argument the phrase "a Jew" is simply a ethnic label, Tzimmes.

Jews are followers of Judaism, a religion. All the time, some people drop in and some people drop out. Many people feel that they belong to the culture of Judaism and call themselves Jews, even when they are atheists. Fair enough. This culture exists all over the world. Zionism was the reaction to antisemitism and both are forms of racism.
