[quote=Unregistered8790;5426382]My question:  Are jews an actual ethnic group, or just members of judaism?      Most jews I see look white.[/ quote]   Both. Jews are NOT a race, although they like to think they are. They are an ethnic group descended from the Hebrew Tribe of Judah. Gentiles(non ethnic jews) can convert....But in some Jewish communities converts are still not regarded as full Jews, since they are not ethnically Jewish. I think most real Jews see converts as 2nd class Jews. Jewish is a religion, it is a SYSTEM, and it is an ethnic group.     You need to look a little closer...Jews are not White. Jews are Hebrew, they are middle eastern, a Semitic non Aryan ethnicity. Jews are not European, they are not Aryan and they are certainly not White. Genetic research has proven that Palestinian Jews are virtually identical genetically to Palestinian Arabs. The thing is....most modern day Jews are Ashkenazi aka European Jews. Many of them have been living in Europe since Roman times. Over time many of them have intermingled with White Europeans which is why alot of Ashkenazi look a bit more White than Mid-Eastern, but it's still not very difficult to recognize an ethnic Jew from a White person if you recognize the features. Large often hooked shaped nose(a common Semitic trait), dark often curly hair, small, beady, glossy looking, somewhat Asiatic, lazy looking eyes, the so called Jew eyes:cool: etc..... I consider myself to be a rather skilled Jew spotter :D Also when it comes to the Ashkenazi Jews who make up the majority of the modern day Jewish population, many of them, if not most are believed to be descended at least partially from Khazars, Central Asian converts to Judaism. Which is why some say the Ashkenazi are not real Hebrews at all, some people call them fake Jews.......  The theory that all or most  Ashkenazi  (European) Jews might be descended from Khazars (rather than Semitic groups in the Middle East) dates back to the late nineteenth century, and is frequently cited to assert that most modern Jews aren't descended from Israelites and/or to refute Israeli claims to territory also sought by Palestinians.       To make a long story short, Jewish can be an ethnicity, and a religion/system. I think modern day Judaism is more of a SYSTEM than a real religion. An idealogy, when you swear allegiance to the so called Star of David(a hexagram) you are swearing allegiance to the forces of evil, whether you realize it or not. (hexagram=666 6points 6planes, 6angles,6+6+6=18 there are 18 lines that make up a hexagram:eek: Just something to think about :cool:  the hexagram is widely associated with the occult, and is considered the most powerful of Satan's symbols, containing '666.' Occultists also call it the 'trud' and use it in necromantic ceremonies to summon evil spirits.  ) And no Jews are not White, many of them have White admixture and can look rather White, but they're not. Just my quick 2 cents on this issue.
