@Arkturos saidI am just fine. I am just curious about how Jewish people really are that say they are Jewish. Religion is not the issue here. This is about DNA.
Not necessarily. Maybe just suspicious.
May I ask why this topic would be of any concern to you?
We've had some nice interchanges recently. May I ask where such questions come from, given that you don't seem to be Jewish yourself (according to a post earlier in this thread)?
On my side, I don't mean to present myself as Jewish, although I might have some hidden Jewi ...[text shortened]...
Also, may I ask if you got to see the fireflies in the evening this year? That's something I miss.
It just doesn't seem like blue eyed and pale skinned people can have much Jewish DNA. How many people from the middle east have blue eyes that did not migrate there from Europe?
Why do all the Israeli prime ministers change their names? Is it because they are less racially pure than someone who has always lived in the Palestine area?
When Netanyahu's father immigrated to Mandatory Palestine, he adopted a Hebrew surname of "Netanyahu", meaning "God has given." While his family is predominantly Ashkenazi, he has said that a DNA test revealed some Sephardic ancestry. He claims descent from the Vilna Gaon.
So DNA tests can tell you how Jewish you are by race. Max Blumenthal says he is Jewish, but has Blue eyes and red hair so I wonder how Jewish he is by DNA. How Jewish are you? Have you had a DNA test?

@shavixmir saidI said Jewish, not Judaism. This thread is about race, not religion.
Judaism is a bloody religion. It’s got nothing to do with DNA.
Yeah, some people can probably draw a blood line back to the Hebrews who inhabited Palestine from 1000 BC till 550 BC… but that’ll be one in a million or something.
Is Lenny Kravitz Jewish?
How Jewish do you need to be to call yourself Jewish?
@Metal-Brain saidYou obviously have no idea how genetics works.

WHY are you worried about it?
No one is gonna rebuild Auschwitz.
@Metal-Brain saidRace doesn't actually exist. And Jewish is a person who follows Judaism.

@shavixmir saidWhat is your mother tongue?
I disagree.
I can see myself as a result of Dutch culture, stretching back to William of Orange.
However, I’m not protestant or Dutch.
I can trace myself back to Northern Ireland, and then catholic Scottish. And yes, when Rangers is playing I hope they lose, but other than that, I’m not Catholic, anti-protestant, pro-IRA or, actually, in any way Scottish.
I think ...[text shortened]... Rachel to Seinfeld, Netenyahoo or any other religious person who wishes to define what religion is.

@shavixmir saidNo more than a Roman is someone who follows the Roman religion, or an English person is defined as someone who follows the Anglican religion, or a Russian being defined as someone who follows the Russian religion.
Race doesn't actually exist. And Jewish is a person who follows Judaism.
Religions are named for ethnicities. Hinduism is the religion of the Indian people as another example.
@shavixmir saidThen why the DNA tests showing Jewish ancestry from Netanyahu?

I am getting the feeling that asking basic questions about Jewish genetics is offensive to Jews for some reason. Netanyahu brought it up. Quoting him is somehow anti Semetic?
And Netanyahu is not his real last name. Why did he abandon his Polish name? Why do all Israeli prime ministers change their names? Are they insecure about their real heritage?
By the way, how Jewish are you?
@Suzianne saidAre you part Jewish? If so, how much?
Well, we already know everything is confusing to you.
This is why you keep making sh-- up.
"All I am concerned about is DNA and how much of it is Jew DNA."
Would you feel better being completely Aryan? Probably.
Being part Jewish isn't going to kill you.
Is simply asking that question anti Semitic?
If someone asked me how Dutch I am should I think that is anti Dutch?
@Metal-Brain saidMe? I’m an atheist. I don’t believe in Gods or any higher power with a will.

@shavixmir said"Scottish Catholic" is new to me. I thought all the Scots were Calvinists like A.S. Niell described them.
Uh? Why?
English.
@shavixmir saidSame here.

Why do you deny race? It is quite ridiculous. African pygmies are not a race?
The author of game of thrones didn't find out he was 25% Jewish with a DNA test?
This is not about religion. This is about DNA. One of my siblings got a DNA test to see what our genealogy was and found out we had about 4% Norwegian DNA. Viking from Norway invaded and occupied parts of England and Ireland which would explain that. Have you ever had a DNA test like that done?
How Jewish is your DNA?
