"Jew" is not a race. "Muslim" is not a race", "Christian" is not a race. Polytheism existed on that same land long before any of those three religions existed.
"Zionist" "Arab" "Palestinian", "Muslim", "Jew", "Israeli"........<-------- None of those labels change the fact all humans are still the same species.
The only race I see there is the Palestinian native race that was forced out of its land at gunpoint by Zionist gangs that gained entry to Palestine with the British empire in WW1. The matter is very simple, Brian, as with all invasions there is a force from the outside wanting the land from people in inside.
Those who come from the outside usually fail.
Still not getting it.
"Race" is a human invented artificial construct. 200,000 years ago, long before even human writing, much less religion, our species started out in Africa.
Now if you want to say humans can be cruel, which unfortunately we can be, I can agree with that. If you want to say racism exists, I can also agree with that. But "race" still is nothing more than a social norm respective societies focus on to create artificial differences which will never change we are still the same species.
If "Jew" were a race, then explain black Jew Sammy Davis Jr. If "Muslim" was a race, then explain why it is possible for white people to be muslim? If Buddhism was a race, then explain why actor Richard Gere whom is pasty white claims to be a Buddhist? If Hindu was a race, then explain why one can find "Indian atheist" websites on google?
Not even "atheist" is a race. We are not all white, we don't all live in America. We are just as diverse as any other group. We come from all nations, and hold a variety of political and economic views, and come in all skin tones.
