    Hello Jules:

    Never again

    I was born in 1943 when Hitler was STILL gassing JewsIf not for my grandparents decision to leave Poland, I'd be DEAD today.. In my stead, 6,000,000 people died.

    My life has been committed to stamping out Jew haters wherever I find them.

    I wanna EXPOSE him.  Been doing that for 6 years on another website.

    Lmfao. Oh, you are so delusional it's practically endearing. For the last 6 years you have been making false claims about being Jewish and for the last 6 years I and every other member of that "website" has been meticulously embarrassing you for making those same false claims. You're an atheist who for 6 full years repeatedly cited a bunk ancestry test as "scientific proof" of being Jewish, to the delight of a dozen other members who systematically tore apart your ruse, until you were finally left with nowhere else to go other than:-

    A. Admitting you are a fraud.

    B. Rabidly accusing a dozen different people of anti-Semitism for the sole reason that they patiently tried to explain to you that you aren't Jewish.

    You are an absolute, unequivocal charlatan, Excon. You're a truly nasty piece of work who lies about himself continuously for clout and attacks anybody who interferes. The world will not miss you when you are gone you coward.

    Telling a Jew how to BE a Jew is problematic.  It's understandable, of course, because Christians can't BE Christians unless they BELIEVE like Christians.  It's a requirement.  And, you'd like to impress that requirement upon the Jews..

    No, the Jewish religion considers someone Jewish if they were born to a Jewish mother. You can't use Jewish religious beliefs to define the identity of people who are not part of the Jewish religion. That's offensively dumb. According to the church of scientology I'm a Thetan, but I don't identify myself as a Thetan because I'm not a scientologist. You see how common sense works, you absurd individual?

    Any culture which shares a common language is an ethnic group you infuriatingly thick waste of time. Jews are not an ethnic group in the way you are describing them to be. They are not connected by racial characteristics or genetics. There are black African Jews, Japanese Jews and even Eskimo Jews. Anybody who converts to Judaism can become a Jew. Literally anybody. I cannot believe this actually needs to be explained to you. Get your face out of Wikipedia and learn how to think for yourself.

    It's precisely epic distortions of reality like this which earned Jews their reputation in the first place. They are not content to be just another religion. They want -- demand, in fact -- special status among religions.

    Judaism is a religion. It isn't a racial group or even an ethnicity in the sense you are using the word. 

    Zionist fanatics have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to obfuscate the facts of what it means to be Jewish, because it benefits them to do so. Ethnic groups are afforded protected characteristics under international law that religious groups are not. It is this infuriating sophism which enables Israeli leaders to brand those critical of their actions and/or policies as anti-Semitic. It's Hitler's big lie on steroids, because the overwhelming majority of Jews are not Semites in the first place. They are the descendants of European converts to Judaism. Conversely, the people they persecute everyday (i.e. Palestinian Arabs) ARE Semites. Hence, Israel has somehow convinced much of the world that criticism of their persecution of Semites is anti-Semitism.

    The word "antisemite" was first used in the 1870s in Germany, derived from the German word "Antisemitismus." It was used to describe prejudice and discrimination against Jews.

    This is completely pointless. I've explained why you're objectively wrong using simple and clear reasoning, but you're refusing to address the arguments I've provided and are simply spamming a list of names.  You're not debating anything. You're simply repeating the exact same mythology I've just refuted. 

    It truly isn't complicated to understand. The idea that you're Jewish if your mother is Jewish is a religious idea. It comes from Jewish religious scripture and it has no basis in objective reality. Therefore, the idea of being a Jewish atheist is self-contradictory, because you have to believe Jewish religious scripture in order to believe having a Jewish mother makes you Jewish. In which universe is that concept difficult to grasp?

    I'll let the "Jewish" president of the Society of American Atheists explain it to you, in the vain hope that anything vaguely resembling common sense can find a hole in that rock thick skull of yours:-

    They are not Jews, they are children of Jews. Just as I am not a Jew, I am a child of Jews.

    Literally everything you ever write is wrong. Stop writing and start paying attention to what other people say. The words I used in my post were "Semite", "anti-Semitic" and "anti-Semitism".

    Semite (n.)

    1847, "a Jew, Arab, Assyrian, or Aramaean".

    Semitic (adj.)

    1797, denoting the major language group that includes Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, Assyrian, etc., distinguished by triliteral verbal roots and vowel inflection; 1826 as "of or pertaining to Semites," from Medieval Latin Semiticus (source of Spanish semitico, French semitique, German semitisch), from Semita (see Semite).

    As a noun, as the name of a linguistic family, from 1813. In non-linguistic use, it is perhaps directly from German semitisch. In recent use often with the specific sense "Jewish," but not historically so delimited.

    anti-Semitism (n.)

    Not etymologically restricted to anti-Jewish theories, actions, or policies, but almost always used in this sense. Those who object to the inaccuracy of the term might try Hermann Adler's Judaeophobia (1881).

    This contributor explains the matter particularly well:-

    There is no such thing as an Atheist Jew. Quite a few Jews or more accurately ex Jews identify as such to hang on to the identity without being honest about the nature of so called "cultural Jewishness". The problem with this semantic gymnastic is that there is no such thing as a collection of Jewish cultural practices that is in any way removed from the religious rituals and beliefs. This is the glaring hole in the argument of being an atheist in a context of theistic practices. You can go through the motions of Jewish religious rituals by being a non believer but that only makes you an impostor, a pretender. Someone actively falsifying their own participation. You maintain your group status as Jew while actively disbelieving the very aspects that make a Jew.

    Stop babbling and post a definition from a real DICTIONARY

    I'm not even remotely interested in your hopelessly infantile "No True Scotsman" fallacies. 

    I've proven you wrong twice now, using your own parameters. If you don't want to accept it then I can't force you. 

    Obama and I are just gonna sit back and laugh at how badly you were schooled.

    I posted 8 major DICTIONARIES supporting my claim.  You posted none.  Whose claim is valid?  Gotcha!

    I posted 8 major DICTIONARIES supporting my claim.  You posted none.

    I can only presume that you're delusional. Your argument was:-

    The word "antisemite" was first used in the 1870s in Germany, derived from the German word "Antisemitismus." It was used to describe prejudice and discrimination against Jews. The term was later adopted in other languages, including English, to describe similar attitudes and behaviors towards Jews.

    I debunked that, and then you changed your argument to:-

    Post a definition of "antisemitism" from a DICTIONARY that contradicts me

    I did that, and then you changed your argument to:-

    Stop babbling and post a definition from a real DICTIONARY

    Then you went back 12 minutes afterwards and edited your initial post, after I'd already replied to it, adding a bunch of links with no relevance to what you'd asked me to do.

    You're dumber than a barn door and more dishonest than Hitler.

    For once in your sad little life tell the truth. Wordnik is, by number of words, the largest dictionary on the entire internet.

    You asked me to post one dictionary definition which contradicted you and that's exactly what I did. You didn't ask me for eight dictionary definitions.
