[quote=Anonymous]The pure ignorance on display in this thread is overwhelming.  Let me try to over-simplify this for the simple:  Once upon a time there were a group of tribes we refer to in English as Jews and they practice a religion we call Judaism.  This group of people has since spread out all over the world (like most).  Some continued to practice Judaism and some didn't.  Some intermarried and some didn't.  Some new people came along and began practicing Judaism at various points in time.  Today people who are descendants of those long ago tribe members are still Jewish by DNA, although they may or may not practice the religion.  Those who are "racially" Jewish can take a DNA test and see that relationship to those long-ago tribe members.  They may have Jewish last names, brown curly hair and brown eyes, the stereo-typical Jewish nose, or other features associated with descendants of the tribe.  So yes, Jewish is a race.  Most of us who are Jewish know we are Jewish like others know they are German or Russian or African.  But we may or may not be religious.  You can't choose not to be Jewish if you are.  The Nazis certainly didn't give anyone that choice.[/quote]
