Correct that Ashkenazim are not the majority in Israel, but they have become more and more mixed.

You're confused about the word semitic. There are semitic languages such as Hebrew and Arabic. The word antisemite for better or worse developed specifically only to mean hatred of Jews. You would know well about that.

As said Jews are not ONE ethnic group. But include a few that are definitely Jewish ethnic groups. As far as genetics most Jews in those Jewish ethnic groups other than recent converts will have genetic ties to the Middle east, including Palestinian Arabs and Italians. If you go to Colombia you will find many Catholics who were originally exiled Jews who were forced to convert with identifiable genetics to Sephardim. Types of Jews | My Jewish Learning

Jews who are Jewish because they were born to a Jewish mother are automatically Jews whether they grow up to practice the religion, atheist, or not. The Jews who really need to work hard at it are converts. Unlike Christianity and Islam Jews are not seeking converts. Aside from genocides, why do you think there are so few Jews in the world?

I'm going to go deeper into this and will likely offend. Oh well. It's for a purpose which I will explain. This very topic just for what it is open invitation to racism and bigotry against Jews. How can that be when the premise is high IQ, not low IQ See how the OP continues predictably bringing up age old antisemtiic tropes about Jews and money, controlling the banks, and so on. So not so positive after all. Compare to this idea for a topic: Do black people have low IQ? Then an OP saying, but heck they're great athletes and they sure have rythym when they dance. In my view, such an obviously disgusting RACIST topic about blacks which I bring up hypothetically is exactly of the same category as this topic about Jews. Nobody should start such a topic about blacks, and nobody should have started this topic about Jews.

Well good luck with that. You've outed yourself already. No need to say more. As far as the ethnicity thing. Jews are not a race. The majority of Jews are identifiable as part of a few ethnic groups including Ashkenazim. Conversion is very much NOT encouraged. You need to actively work towards it with your own motivation and work hard at it. Or be born to a Jewish mother. Your choice. Basically, Jews are an ETHNORELIGIOUS group. Like Kurds. A person can be a Jewish person and often is without any involvement in religious faith part of it whatsoever. That's the ETHNO part of that word.

Exactly what?

Israel is not the same thing as Jews.

He didn’t get fired. He stayed to try to restrain Trump's fascist impulses. There is an entire crew of Trump insiders who now favor Harris because Trump is unfit to serve and dangerous. I get that you are in a maga cult bubble.

That clip REEKS of intentionally misleading editing. So nobody should trust it. Beyond that they first talk as if they're not sexist men, then close with some B.S. about being "protectors" of women. Very J.D. Vance.

Why Kamala Harris was always destined to lose
Jingthing replied to NickyLouie's topic in Political Soapbox
There was zero chance of that happening. But understandable that a non-American outsider would harbor such bizarre and unrealistic fantasies. -

You're not fooling anyone. You obviously want Trump. Biden would have lost in a landslide. Harris is at least competitive. So you trash her legitimacy. If there had been some kind of open process so late in the game (there could have been) it would have been a massive risk for the democrats to nominate a candidate in an environment of internal bitter division. Democrats were not willing to take that risk. The stakes are too high. -

Installed is the wrong word. She was overwhelmingly chosen by elected (by primary votes) delegates to be the nominee in the historically difficult situation of a nominee exiting so late in the process. If you're saying that democratic (or republican) delegates are party activists, of course they are! What I find super stupid of critiques such as yours is implication that there is some kind of constitutionally mandated process for how parties are to choose their nominees. There is no such thing. They are separate from actual elections. The primary system with the two major parties (nothing about parties in the constitution) didn't begin fully until after World War 2! A brief history of presidential primaries | Constitution Center Things That Are Not In the U.S. Constitution – The U.S. Constitution Online – USConstitution.net – U.S. Constitution.net Snipers (mostly maga fascists) about the process that made Harris the nominee suggest there is something illegitmate about it. NO! It was completely legitimate. Parties determine their own rules. Period, End of story. -

What's the next ethnic/racial group to start a baiting topic about?

Israel and Jews are not the same thing. As far as Ashkenazim, the majority of Israeli Jews are NOT Ashkenazim. The majority of American Jews are Ashkenazim.

Well Mr. Trump will declare victory very early well before he actually wins (when he actually lost) the same this time as last time. So if you can find an open bar that early, you'll get to have a Trump party, but that won't mean that he actually won.

Among Jews the most popular answer to who is a Jew is simply a person born of a Jewish mother (in the matrilineal tribal sense). Following the faith or not doesn't come into it. Of course over the ages there has been intermarriage, rapes by Mongols, conversions due to marriage and otherwise, etc. If you go a reform (liberal sect) Jewish congregation today it'll look like a Colors of Benetton ad.

Yeah best economy in the world, low unemployment, regular stock market records, such horrible sinking! -

Biden ran and was basically unopposed out of respect for an incumbency of what democrats at least consider a successful first term. Then last minute he withdraws. No, in this instance, having a new primary was literally impossible. They could have come up with an alternative to that with delegates (rather than voters in states) to fight things out in a few days. The democrats decided not to do that for quite good reasons which you may or may not agree with. All delegates had the choice to not vote for Harris for the nomination, yet almost all did. Water under the bridge now. -
I don't know why this transparently JEW BAITING topic should exist here, but here it is. Anyway, you're spreading inflammatory antisemitic trope garbage. Jews in Europe were allowed to be money lenders when Christians were not. Indeed they were restricted to very few professions. In other words, extreme oppression. Then the Christians blamed them for what they forced Jews into going further of course accusing them of murdering Christian children to make Passover matzohs. Jews, Money, Myth - The Jewish Museum London Jews, Money, Myth, a major new exhibition at Jewish Museum London, explores the role of money in Jewish life and its often vexed place in relations between Jews and non-Jews, from the time of Jesus to the 21st century. It examines the origins of some of the longest running and deeply entrenched antisemitic stereotypes: the theological roots of the association of Jews with money; the myths and reality of the medieval Jewish moneylender; and the place of Jews – real and imagined – in commerce, capitalism and finance up to the present day.

Not true. I can't believe anyone would begin to believe that post which can be seen as satire.
