Can I point out, for the sake of accuracy, that being Jewish is not a race, it's an adherence to a religion! This is why you're so exasperating, Clivex. There are Middle Eastern Jews, just as there are Middle Eastern Muslims and Middle Eastern Christians. There are Arabs who are Muslim, and Arabs who are Christian. Indigenous Middle Eastern Jews are, like Arabs, from the Semitic race, but Jewishness is not confined to them, as we should all know - and you really need to remember this - from the pogroms of the Nazis (a belief, not a people or a race) against Hungarian, Romanian, Polish, German, Austrian, Dutch, French, Italian and any other nationality of Jew in the second world war.
The last post is my opinion, ridiculous (not ridciulous) or not - and that's only your opinion, too. As in 'she strikes me as' - not a point of view culled from reading other people's observations, but my own. It would be good if, should you ever manage an opinion based on your own observations, you could base it in fact and not nonsense. It would further the cause of civil discussion if you could also base your caveats about members' observations in objective, rather than slightly denigrating subjective, terms. I'm sure you're not too old to try, now that I understand you're not, as I'd thought, an old fossil of around 75.
But I'll never take you seriously in matters of politics, religion, or race, because you are always so desperate to fall over yourself to make some uninformed jibe.
