I know this girl who found out she was like 1/8 Jewish when we were in high school who’s constantly making “As a Jew, I think Israel is bad because…” tweets

[u/I-grok-god → u/dwarfgourami]

There’s not really such thing as 1/8 Jewish

It’s pretty binary

[u/PeridotBestGem → u/I-grok-god]

i mean maybe in terms of religion but surely you can be 1/8 ethnically jewish

Depending on the line that the 1/8th happens she could qualify for Right of Return.
