Race? There is one human species (race). Jews do NOT make up a subspecies
(race).

Judaism is a religion and/or a culture -- nothing more nor less. One is
Jewish
if one professes that religion or accepts that culture as one's own.
I hear this from time to time, and can never quite get my head around
it. If a Jew, living in Israel, converts to another religion, what race
is he? Hebrew? I don't think anyone uses that word to refer to the race
any more. Israeli? Does he lose his racial identity completely when he
changes religion?
Isn't it simply the case that the term has two uses, and that someone
can be a Jew by birth/race and by religion?
Heute Uhmuhrikkka, Afghanistan, Irak und Haïti. Morgen die ganze Welt!
Uhmuhrikkka, Uhmuhrikkka über Alles!
(The more information that comes out about the attacks on the Twin Towers and
the Pentagon of 11 September 2001 the more it appears that those attacks were
organized by the rulers of the United States and were intended to have the same
effect on the people of the United States that the Reichstag fire had on the
people of Germany in 1933.)
