yes we werent always but than are enemies said we were so now we have to own it and be the best damn race possible. im looking at u blacks

Well, Jews were categorised by the Nazis by creed alone. Vichy France, however, categorised Jews by race, so as to give a more restrictive status.

However, in prewar Europe, Jews asserted themselves as Jewish first, and their country of origin second.

By the way,regarding being the best race possible, then insulting another race- sounds a little bit Fascist.

Mac, I must express that the comments you made about race are ridiculous.

But to be on topic, I suppose I always thought of a 'Jewish' person to be described by religion, not race.

zerstoren why are they ridiculous i could say a chair is a dog with the same amount of evidence that u say i am ridiculous.
dazl it was a joke and ur right it sounds a bit facist i apoliqize

Sorry mac, I wasn't sure. I wrote that at three in the morning while in the middle of writing an essay about the plight of the Jews in Occupied France during World War Two.

Zerstoren, mac's comment if taken lightly isn't too offensive, now that I look at it again, but his question is valid. I am curious as to whether people assert their identity as their religion, or by country. In Ireland about thirty years back, most Irish poeple would have identified Catholicism as an integral part of their race.

mac aren´t you an atheist or your race is judaism but your religion is not?

sorry for the bad grammar

yea u pretty much got it right. im culturley jewish. but alas that is bullshit but arent we all?
