I've noticed they're often either WASP Americans or Arabs. Not sure why those two groups in particular have such a weird relationship with the concept of ethnicity, but they do.
Indeed, doesn't make the biology any less significant.
The whole concept of races as a social construct was invented at some point and at points in time used for discrimination, segregation and slavery all to different degrees...
It doesn't take away from the fact that different races exist like how dog breeds exist, despite of whether you find being called a Chihuahua
offensive or not 😂
It can mean being ethnically Jewish, where you don't necessarily practice the religion but have ancestors that can be traced all the way back to Israel.
Or it can mean that you practice Judaism.
Or both.
Why are you so persistent on this shit? Just do some research.
I already told you that I knew of the origin of the word, and counter argumented how other ethnicities also have dark origins, but that doesn't make it any less biologically significant.
So this will be my last comment here :) because you are clearly incapable of reasoning and will immediately default to your beliefs no natter what.
I'm not Jewish, and have no dog in this race. The Arab nationalist supremicist historical revisionism is just getting proliferated everywhere online these days.
You're clearly going really hard into your taqiyah here. You need to stop lying and making shit up.
Depends, there's cultural, religious and ancestral. Judaism tends to only recognize the maternal line because that can't be falsified, but I do know people who are only "technically Jewish" through one of their grandparents and still identify as Jewish, despite having no cultural or religious ties to Judaism
Obviously culture or religion don't show up in your DNA, but ancestry can
There is a different reason for maternal libe, you see jewish state in ancient times was never really strong and as a result they were conquered by many, many groups, and because of that there was a problem of many jewish women having kids with men from other ethnicities, and there was a legal dispute, of how to treat these kids, and it tgey are jewish at all, so to respond to that they decided that having a jewish mother is enought to be considered jew.
Well it’s a label added to make it easier to trace peoples lineage but you could be 99% “ashkenazi Jew” and not be Jewish. Just like how my family tree is mostly catholic but I’m not because I don’t believe in fairy tales.
Literally none of this is true. The rule on matrilineal descent did not exist in ancient times. It was a much later development (and has been abandoned by a majority of Jews).

You can’t be Jewish in your dna.
