Jewish-Race


Over and over again, we hear about how Jewish are this or Jews are that. We hear about how they are responsible for this problem or another. Historically speaking, they have been addressed as a single race, treated as though you could rid of them by somehow eradicating their blood lines. Still, few have been able to step back and consider just how absurd these ideas really are.
Of course, such confusion is warranted, especially when even some Jewish people consider themselves to be a race. This is fundamentally flawed though, and I would like to share some information that might help clear this up in the minds of those who need to reconsider their scape goats. In order to do this however, I need to provide the proof that Judaism in fact just a belief system, not a race.
By definition, Judaism is a monotheistic religion, with the Torah as its foundational text. It is the religion, philosophy, or way of life for certain people. In fact, it is one of the oldest monotheistic religions whose religious tradition date back nearly four thousand years. Of course, there is not much reference to blood just yet, and I see nothing about “race” – there is a reason for that.

A “race” is a social concept used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by anatomical, cultural, ethnic, genetic, geographical, historical, linguistic, religious, and/or social affiliation. While it is an outdated concept, there are about 3 major races in the world: Caucasian races (Aryans, Hamites, Semites – which include Jews), Mongolian races (northern Mongolian, Chinese and Indo-Chinese, Japanese and Korean, Tibetan, Malayan, Polynesian, Maori, Micronesian, Eskimo, American Indian), and Negroid races (African, Hottentots, Melanesians/Papua, “Negrito”, Australian Aborigine, Dravidians, Sinhalese).
Right off the bat, people are quick to call the Jewish people Semites, hence the phrase “Anti-Semitic” we hear from time to time in regard to people who dislike the Jewish people. Unfortunately, this is kind of inaccurate. A Semite is actually any member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language. How many Jews around the world do you think ever spoke with a Semitic tongue? It’s not about race at all. In fact, Semites include Jews and Arabs. Heck, it even includes some Ethiopians. If you were really anti-Semitic, you would be adverse to a particular language, and you would hate a very large mixed group of people… which is kind of weird.
For the sake of argument, we could go down the “ethnic group” road for a minute too. That might be wise at this point anyway because there are some 5,000 ethnic groups in the world today. An ethnic group is basically a community or population made up of people who share a common cultural background or descent. Jews definitely share a cultural background, but when considering descent, you have to acknowledge the blood, which of course is what people are getting at in regard to Jewish people, which brings us back to the race debate. By the way, if we go down this road, and we choose descent, we must also realize that it blurs the line of cultural background when it comes to Jews. Why? Because not all Jews share either cultural background or descent.
So let me ask a question: if the Jewish people were a race, how exactly could there be Black Jews or Hispanics Jews as well as “whites” within their synagogues? In fact, black Jews in Africa believe they are the first and true decedents of the original Jewish people. This messes up the idea that Jewish people are one single self-identifying ethnicity, which of course could not be true if there are so many different ethnic divides right? Some attribute these ethnic divides as a result “of geographic branching from an originating Israelite population, mixing with local populations, and subsequent independent evolutions.” Or better said: it’s just religion spreading as religions do from time to time. Okay, valid point, but can there really be a Jewish race that started it all?
Getting away from the technicality of it all, we have to understand that when most people address race in layman’s terms, they are basically talking about physical traits and blood descendants. It does not really matter though, we can already see that based on logic alone, Judaism needs to be classified as a belief system due to the fact that so many different race or ethnic groups actually comprise Jewish ranks. But I don’t want to stop there. I want some stronger evidence that demonstrates that this idea of Judaism being a race is entirely false.
In order to do this, we have to turn to the blood itself. So let’s pretend for a second that Jewish people of color do not exist. Let us pretend that they all come from the very same region and that there is at least some reason to consider them as a race based on appearance and cultural background.
Let us use the Three Rule Method and ask a few questions. What color is the skin of the Jewish people we see in most Jewish propaganda pictures? White correct? What are white people generally called? Caucasian right? Why are they called this? It’s because they are usually from the Caucasus region. Is it possible that Jewish people are decedents of those from the Caucasus region? Well, if it were, it would mean that they were not so special as so many in the Jewish state are suggesting right? Probably. Now the question we need to ask ourselves is will science support this? As it so happens, it just might.
Johns Hopkins geneticist and Israeli, Dr. Eran Elhaik, says his research (published in the Oxford Journals) debunks the long-held theory that Jews are a single race, and this includes the Ashkenazi Jews. Elhaik says that even Ashkenazi genes, are far more heterogeneous than other proponents of the Rhineland Hypothesis believe. Elhaik did find a Middle Eastern genetic marker in DNA from Jews, but, he says, it could be from Iran, not ancient Judea. And wouldn’t you know it, Elhaik says he has proved that Ashkenazi Jews’ roots lie in the Caucasus region.
In a news article that accompanied Elhaik’s journal paper, Shlomo Sand, history professor at Tel Aviv University and author of the controversial 2009 book “The Invention of the Jewish People,” said the study vindicated his long-held ideas. So basically, history, science, and logical processes are telling us that perhaps a great portion of the people are just wrong in regard to racial profiling of these religious folks. It doesn’t stop there. “The Scientist” recently reported that Ashkenazi Jews are descended from prehistoric European women.
Of course, there are some who want to dispute this. The question you need to ask is “why?” One reason is because some will need to find a new scapegoat because it messes up their whole hatred scheme. For those who are Jewish and wish to deny this, it is actually rooted in something called Zionism. Basically, this information goes against the Zionist narrative. The narrative states that the migration of modern-day Jews and the creation of the Jewish state in what is now Israel, is simply a repossession by the descendants of the land’s original residents. In other words, Zionists are using the “race card” to justify their actions in the Middle East. And just to clarify, a Zionist is simply a person who desires or supports the establishment of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.
Ironically enough, spiritual Jewish leaders and many followers of the faith have been staunchly opposed to the creation of that state as well as Zionist actions such as murder and the military/police actions that have followed. Zionist’s want to change the nature of the Jewish idea from a religious entity to a political movement, using the race card as reason. Once again, many Jewish leaders and people oppose this. Essentially, Zionists are like the US Federal Government in regard to how they control, manipulate, and use their people.
Regardless: Judaism is a religion, not a race. Many Jews oppose Zionist actions and behaviors. If you are one who has hated the “race of the Jews” – I ask first: is that the white, black, or olive skinned Jews – and second: don’t you think the idea of having a belief “in your blood” was taken a little too far here?
