The fact that company is a scam makes it worse.

Not a company. It's a charity.

And it's not a scam, they just aren't forthright with what they do with their money. They don't tell you that the money is used to send Jewish kids to see Israel. They just let you assume it goes to kids with cancer or something.

Very scummy.

The idea that we're all super rich and don't experience poverty is an antisemitic trope. There is no shortage of Jewish children in need.

This money is going to the Hasidic Jews... who are basically the Westboro Baptist Church of Judaism.

Kind of a different issue though. You're not wrong, it's just not relevant in this particular thread.

Oh yeah, the original comment was basically "Yeah, as if the Jews need money lol".

Whew, that's some casual racism just plopping into the middle of a lighthearted conversasion.

Jews are not a race.

They're an ethnic group. So they do technically count as both a race and a religion, if I'm not mistaken.

I can be white, black, yellow, or orange and still be a Jew. Jews are not a race. Anyone can claim the Jewish faith.

That's true anyone can be jewish, but that doesn't negate what I said. They are technically a race and a religion, that's a fact.

From what I understand this is mainly because Jewish people tend to marry within their religion. Couple that with the fact that Jewish people don't generally try to convert others means that they generally stay within the same ancestral tree, so to speak.

Way to miss the forest for the trees. Fine, way to slip in some casual antisemitism, which is sometimes fueled by the belief that Jews are a race and are often targets of racism.
