It's not true but it's hard to put into words. Yes Judaism is a religion. Jews.....well they're an ethnic group of all races; a culture  with different sub-cultures; one people who share a common heritage that concists of a land, a people and ONE G_d. There is no comparrison anywhere in the world. A rabbi could explain better than I.

"The Jews will eventually have to face up to what you're dealing with here.  The arabs will never love you for what good you've brought them.  They don't know how to really love.  But hate!  Oh, G-d, can they hate!  And they have a deep, deep, deep resentment because you have jolted them from their delusions of grandeur and shown them for what they are-a decadent, savage people controlled by a religion that has stripped them of all human ambition . . . except for the few cruel enough and arrogant enough to command them as one commands a mob of sheep.  You are dealing with a mad society and you'd better learn how to control it."

There are a Jewish people...secular to religious.  The thing is, we were scattered throughout the earth for 2000 years, but we didn't really lose our way..we kept something behind.

So luckily enough, a lot of us didn't lose ourselves...and lucky for us we are all different colors, shapes and sizes to prevent any genetic inbreeding.

The same goes with American people. You mean to tell me there is no such thing?  The USA has all kinds of nationalities who are proud to call themselves Americans..And the Americans have a citizenship and a way of life which varies from one individual to another.

So I say the same for the Jewish people and Israel.
