Just about all so-called Jews are Fake Jews. They don’t follow Mosaic Law. They don’t believe in the messiah their own scriptures foretold.

Personally, I have documentation to verify my own jewishness. My sister got a DNA test and found out that we are 0.5% Ashkenazi Jewish. That means I am 5 times as Jewish as Pocahontas is Squaw. But I still wouldn't feel qualified to represent my people.

If you are 0.5% Ashkenazi ( Khazarian )what is the remainder? Casual interest only .

I heard a longer time ago from a Rabbi who never had been a Jew. It was a very funny story. Still today I have to smile about - specially about the absurde reactions from some Christians who spoke officially with him about the Christian-Jewish dialogue. Why do you ask? Anti-Semitic motivation?

Good grief, Russian - How often hits someone with a wooden hammer onto your head every day?

Actually, it means nothing of the kind. Jewish identity is not based on DNA, blood, any other sort of biological marker.

A Jew is anyone born of a Jewish mother. That mother can be a convert to Judaism from any race or ethnicity and the Jew in question could be the adopted child (also of any race or ethnicity) of a Jewish mother.

It's not difficult to say "I am a Jew". Real Jews normally never will think someone who is no Jew will say so on the own free will. It's dangerous to be a Jew.

Then you are a German. Before Hitler came 1 of 200 Germans had been a Jew.

On the other side: Let this not know any Nazi. They will kill you because they like to eliminate Jews biologically = genetically. And if they will kill 1/2 per cent of you then you will perhaps not survive 100%.
