Why Jews don't get a pass either.

[thesummerqueen]

Israel doesn't just contain Jews, despite what they sometimes want to project. People from Israel could be Christian or Muslim or something else. What you have to understand is the differences between Semitic and Jewish.

No actually you do not. Both are claims of "I am better than you because of" making that distinction allows them to move the goal posts.

Race or religion and claiming special treatment by proxy of such still amounts to setting up social pecking orders. It is a comic book reflection of our real evolutionary group survival.

I will only say that the Hebrews were the first to successfully market a monotheistic God. No not the first attempt, but the first to be successfully marketed for that time. Christianity and Islam simply are splinter sects of the God of Abraham. But none of them are races.

What are you talking about?

Semitic: a subfamily of Afroasiatic languages that includes Akkadian, Arabic, Aramaic, Ethiopic, Hebrew, and Phoenician.

Jewish: of, relating to, or characteristic of the Jews or Judaism

There's no "better than" statement between defining those two terms.

Alright, fair enough. But people invariably use the word Jewish either to refer to Judaism (religion) or race so it's complicated for me to see trough word's intentions... In my case, the word jewish is thrown around to refer to the people whose origins are in Israel and their descendants, regardless of religion. But yeah a convert is Jewish, no doubt.

This is the statement I was referring to. Israel is a semitic country by virtue of the fact that it is populated by people who speak semitic languages. Out of those subsets come religious subsets. Calling everyone in Israel or from Israel Jewish is factually inaccurate. Where the hell did you get that I was somehow making a "better than" statement?
