he is not a Jewish Frenchman, or a Muslim Frenchman or a Christian Frenchman. A Jew is someone who practices Judaism, a Muslim is someone who practices Islam and a Christian is someone who practices Christianity.
That person is also not a French Jew, a French Muslim or a French Christian. PM Bibi is out of his mind, he is not a Jew, he is a secular , atheist.
did someone ask YOU to define "ethnicity" for the world?. Decent and civilized persons preface statements of opinion phrases such as "in my opinion". In my opinion----YOUR opinion is worthless
An ethnic group or ethnicity is a socially defined category of people who identify with each other based on common ancestral, social, cultural or national experience.
That pretty much leaves Jews out as an ethnic group. All those who are atheist and born in Israel are Israelites , not Jews. Just like with the Palestinians you have Muslim , Jew and Christian and just plain Palestinians.
Penelope has so written-----let it be ignored. I know lots of
americans of Italian background who do not ingest the eucharist on a regular basis------ie virtually nevah ----
they seem to consider themselves ethnic Italian Catholics----
they even get excited over the Pope----even the Hispanic guy.-----of course they are even more excited over pizza and spaghetti with clam sauce. I am a jew---born of two jewish parents-----I am considered a jew------no matter what I eat or
profess to believe. I was born in the USA as were my parents. and even my maternal grandma----the paternal one
was born in London-------but---- we is all jews----with Hebrew
letters on our-------Headstones (after we die, of course) I am curious, Penelope------what do people (ie your family, your friends, your community) understand that YOU ARE?----or what do you consider yourself to be??? do not be afraid to tell us-------vaguely if you must. (or----if you are
reluctant-----do not tell us----) I consider a person who farts and shits on this or that "group" but keeps her own a "secret"-----to be a craven lump of shit
