How is this thread being left up? If it was titled 'blacks' or 'asians', it'd be an immediate locking and ban. Poster knows full well that Jewishness is an ethnic term as well as a religious one.

This thread was an experiment, to see if certain things, would happen....and they did, just as I thought.
I'll explain further.......I knew despite there being a Catholic, and Muslim
thread up, before I did this, as soon as anyone simply mentions "Jews", all hell breaks loose...and it did, just as i thought it would.
I genuinely want to know why things you can say about Catholics, and Muslims ( and probably any other religions), you cant say about Jews.
It just verified what i thought. I also genuinely didnt wish to hurt or offend anyones feelings, but wanted to confirm what i suspected would happen.
Can anyone tell me why you simply cannot say anything about Judaism at all, unless its complimentary, but you can say what you like about all other religions?

Re: Jews
The Catholic thread was naive, but I would hope was done rather out naivety than anything more sinister.

Whenever Jews or Judaism is mentioned here you nearly always reply and ask why they can't be criticised, or why Israel can't be criticised. Always. It makes you look like a crank and it makes you look like you have a specific problem with Jews and Judaism. I have, not so long ago, warned you of this. You nearly always take the bait and you nearly always mention Jews and Judaism. It's very obvious and I couldn't find reason to defend you in that. If you think Muslims get an easy time then you're thick.
You're being a complete idiot and I find your constant 'why can't I criticise Judaism? thing as...'at best, not doing enough to prevent antisemitism, and at worst, could be seen to accept it'.
Please stop and please seriously think about this. You need to stop.

Re: Jews
Being Jewish is an ethnic identity as well as a religious one. I don't understand why that is so hard to grasp. There are secular Jews. Imagine replacing the thread title with any other ethnicity. Imagine randomly posting about the demographics of South Asians or Arabs.

Im more interested in a different take to Sharma as
The last interview by the ultra conservative zionist rabbi
Suggested at why stop here when in our mind we
Can go further than just the boundaries of where we.came from.
I talked about it with my boss who ssid the.rabbi was
a very dsngerous man , which puzzled me ,
my boss explained a bit but said im only a
twice a year synagogue goer ( high holidays) &
Couldnt really go much deeper .
I do find Judaism interesting Historically .
Maybe i should talk to an Historian & see what they can
Show me , what & where to look & read .
Cheers anyway .

Re: Je
What I don’t understand is why people get so uppity when you assign character traits to ethnicity or different religions. Let’s take white brits as it’s the only thing that won’t get me banned. Lazy, sarcastic, borderline alcoholics, patriotic, animal lovers. They are not true of all brits but are true for a large number. It’s a fact. Why then, when you assign good and bad points about other races or religions does everyone have a meltdown.
