I can consider Noachides to be Jewish (Judeans) if they will live here, work here and do what everyone who lives here does. End of discussion.
You can't. If they have citizenship they are 'Israeli' gentiles................not Israelites, Jews or Hebrews.
Jews are only:
" any person whose mother was a Jew or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism. "
mord- Most of Yemenite Jews (75%) are Arabs who believe in the Jewish religion. Actually, they, and only they, have the right to call themselves "Arab Jews".
Correct. Arab, black, European or eskimo......"A Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism."
And newman, nothing is bad by having Arab blood. It is possible that most or some Australians have blood of criminals because Australia was originally an Island for criminals, so what ?
Correct. But a gentile is a gentile no matter what his parentage (unless he's got a Jewish mother then he's a Jew).
A Jew with arab blood is still a Jew. But again.........."A Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism."
Dexter,
You've done this before. You don't understand the meanings of the words.
'Israeli' is different to 'Israelite' etc.
A resident of Judea in 2007 is not a Jew.
A Jew is B'nai Yisrael. Yes I know it originates from the Tribe of Judah, but the accepted, Rabbinical modern meaning of Jew is "A Jew is any person whose mother was a Jew or any person who has gone through the formal process of conversion to Judaism."
In common speech, the word "Jew" is used to refer to all of the physical and spiritual descendants of Jacob/Israel, as well as to the patriarchs Abraham and Isaac and their wives, and the word "Judaism" is used to refer to their beliefs. Technically, this usage is inaccurate, just as it is technically inaccurate to use the word "Indian" to refer to the original inhabitants of the Americas. However, this technically inaccurate usage is common both within the Jewish community and outside of it, and is therefore used throughout this site.
Just because somebody lives in Judea in 2007 doesn't make him a Jew.
