[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of Jews who would say it does make them part of the Jewish people. It’s not a mandatory criterion, but it’s one way of being Jewish for a lot of people.[/quote]
Then they should speak just for themselves. My friend resents Jewish people insisting that he's Jewish just because his mother was Jewish. He says he isn't Jewish.[/quote]

Why? If he has Jewish background, he’s ethnically Jewish, even if he’s not Jewish from a religious or cultural standpoint. What’s his issue with that?[/quote]
What's wrong is that he doesn't like that lie. He says he's ethnically Polish, just as many other Jewish people.[/quote]

It’s not a lie. Being Polish is a nationality, not an ethnicity. It’s like the difference between being Russian (a nationality) and Slavic (ethnicity). Most Jews will point to Ashkenazi Jewish (for example) as part/all of their ethnic background and then will specify the country/countries their relatives are from.[/quote]
