Trump might redefine Judaism to be a nationality

[fishonjazz]

Why strange? You can become Jewish just like you can become American, German, or Italian.

I didn't know ethnicity equals nationality

Saying you need a ID to vote is racist. This isn't, according to the left.

That's all you need to know about hypocrisy.

I think you can become a German citizen but I don’t think you can become “German.”

I also can join the Jewish faith without becoming a citizen of Israel. Judaism is a religion, not a nation state.

Can Mormons now be redefined as Nephites or Lamanites? Asking for a friend.

People who criticize Islam are called racists. Islam is a religion, not a race. However, I'm sure you can Google plenty of articles telling you that Islam is a race.

No you can't. By converting, you immediately become eligible to move to Israel under the Law of Return.

That would make Angela Merkel and many, many other people not German. Of course you can become German. Many ethnic Germans have non-German ancestry. Some even(gasp!) Jewish.

Being eligible to return does not automatically make one a citizen of Israel.

It does, but you have to claim it. Just like if you're born abroad to American parents, or German parents, or Italian parents, etc.

Huh? Why wouldn’t Angela Merkel be considered German? She has German ancestry and was born in Germany (East or west? I think west but I’m unsure).

Her grandfather was an ethnic Pole.
