Because Jews are fairly unique in being identified by both religion and genes- by themselves and by others. |
I guess it depends on who you know and what you expose yourself to. The wedding I referenced was between a Korean-American Jew and an Israeli-American Jew.
Most of their family and friendship group I met in on the day of the wedding and it was a real mix, despite the majority being Jewish.
I can't say I know too much about how Jewish people identify themselves beyond those friends. But they have had the biggest impact on me and as such I don't make the association you suggest.
So as I infer at the beginning, perhaps I haven't exposed myself to the community enough to pick up on that. |  |

This is exactly what happened when Ethiopian Jews turned up in Israel, and proceeded to be racially abused by other Israelis:

The bigger irony being that the Ethiopian Jewish community is one of the oldest in the world. |
Interesting read, thanks.
In the sense of irony, it was the same for the Armenian Christians. They're meant to be the first nation to adopt Christianity. | |

So we would need a one world government? Not sure how that would work without organisation at national level? |
Anarchism, to my knowledge, was the first political movement to argue against nation-states and therefore borders. They, of course, proposed the decentralisation of authority and governance.
On a technical level, it could be achieved either way. On a practical level, we have some way to go for either route. | |

You seem to miss the point.
Many jewish people consider themselves to be, if not a race, then certainly something more than just a religion.
The whole concept makes little sense to me, but that's besides the point. [Post edited 17 May 2021 19:22]

I entirely see the point. They have formed a view, based on their religion that they are 'chosen'. Which is bonkers.
And tragically ironic.
But I'll get accusations thrown at me if I expand on that. |  |

I know/have known hundreds of Jewish people in my lifetime; not a single one of them has, or ever would, consider themselves "chosen".
I could be wrong, happy to be corrected, but think the "chosen" belief is predominantly a view of the minority who are in the orthodox religious sector. The majority of Jews are either secular, or if religious, go to the more liberal "reform" synagogues. |  |

I'm not clever enough to put together a working solution on my own, sorry!

Thanks for the clarification.
However, what I said earlier re not a single one of the hundreds of Jewish people I know/have known in my 70+ years ever having thought that they are "chosen", still applies. It seems more of a conceptual theory to me than existing in the real world to the majority of the real people it's supposed to apply to. | |

" 'recycle' plastic waste so that it can be dumped and burned in Turkish landfilss i suggsest"
Yes, most people even attach notes to their recycling that they expect that as a requisite. |  |

Slightly off topic, but given your reply, worth watching this to the end -
