3. That is not how it works today.

Seriously, a Jew is someone who practices the religion and/or has recent ancestry, not what you are peddling. If we go by your "logic" then most of the entire population are "African-Americans".

Judaism shares some of the characteristics of a nation,[70][71][72][73][74][75] an ethnicity,[13] a religion, and a culture,[76][77][78] making the definition of who is a Jew vary slightly depending on whether a religious or national approach to identity is used.[79][better source needed] Generally, in modern secular usage, Jews include three groups: people who were born to a Jewish family regardless of whether or not they follow the religion, those who have some Jewish ancestral background or lineage (sometimes including those who do not have strictly matrilineal descent), and people without any Jewish ancestral background or lineage who have formally converted to Judaism and therefore are followers of the religion.[80]

So, stop with this nonsense in this group, especially in topics where anti-Semitism is being discussed.

And as a host here, another post like this will get you blocked from this group!
