"Sophisticated" Nazi anti-Semites can argue that they are just mirroring Jewish exclusivity and that the Jews are a racial state just as Nazi Germany was. We may have begun as a tribe but that ended in Bible days. Anyone can join if they have the koyach for it. Nazis had their honorary Aryans and privileged Jews--too lazy for the quotes--but they killed them when their utility ended. Judaism and Christianity are not race or blood-based and that is why they flower whereas purely racial cults do not.
Best friggin thing you ever wrote!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your verdict.
ReplyDeleteIf you live as "a Jew", worship as a Jew, keep all the mitzvot, and believe as a Jew; then you are indeed "Jewish", no conversion necessary!
