Religion. Discuss ( or should that be argue )

I would LOVE to hear this scientific basis for hating the Jews. Off you go then.

If you're being serious here goes...

Simply put the argument runs along these lines:

• Jews are a race.
  
• They maintain their 'race' through selective breeding.
  
• Different races have different characteristics.
  
• The characteristics that Jewish people possess are negative / inferior.
  
  

If you follow this line of Anti-S, there are two main issues;

1. If Jewish people mix with non-Jews then it will have a negative impact on non-Jews via a supposed infection of the non-Jewish bloodline. However, people also tend to extend this to socially mixing, which isn't logical but follows the idea/theme of infection.

2. The selective/internal breeding makes it all the more necessary for non-Jews to establish a strong racial identity, in the same way Jews do.

This whole view is born out of pseudo-Darwinism-ish logic. It is premised first and foremost on the idea that Jews are in themselves a separate race. I think an Isrealie (history?) academic has recently done a very thorough study discrediting the idea of a 'Jewish Race' or even cognisant lineage stretching back to biblical times (the last bit has upset quite a few Isrealie politicians for obvious reason).

The point about it being different from earlier anti-S is that it is concerned specifically with race and *not *religion.

It seems fucking ridiculous to have to put this, but I will for the sake of morons:
