Jews aren’t a race, and nor are Palestinians. Unless something has changed?
It’s a tough call on the first one. When your religion is by definition passed on from your mother, it kind of means it represents a highly related subpopulation. Not really sure how that differs from a race.Jews aren’t a race, and nor are Palestinians. Unless something has changed?
Technically speaking humans are one race. Race as we know it, in many ways, is a social construct. Given that there are a number of definitions of race, Jews and Palestinians can view themselves as separate races of people and in many cases do so. I'm jewish and view it as my race and ethnic background. Most of the far right do too. I'm not religious at all. All the negative tropes about Jews are based on the view of them being a race. All the racism I have experienced is based on that.Jews aren’t a race, and nor are Palestinians. Unless something has changed?
Yes but this is not about religion, it is about the persecution of the Palestinian people.Religion of all kinds is anathema to me... flipping sky fairies and similar hocus pocus.
Haaretz is a left wing publication and is often very critical of the state and it's actions towards Palestinians (and others) .This item is from Haaretz, an organ of the colonist state, enjoy: I suppose it illustrates a frame of mind.
I think it is very critical of the human rights abuses commited by Israel. I imagine the state hates the publication. I think it more left wing than the Guardian personally.It is what both us us said, I think. I'd say it's a bit like the Guardian is here.
With a hefty dose of religion on the side.Yes but this is not about religion, it is about the persecution of the Palestinian people.
