My only comment is that using Whoopi (real name Caryn Elaine Johnson) as a source for anything is strictly a losing proposition. Her idiotic, as usual, comments, trivialized the slaughter of 6 million human beings.
Whoopi is a clown. Whoopi is short for "Whoopi cushion"; she was given that name because she passes gas a lot. Which is the best you can expect from her.
Add to that today we have DNA analysis. Jews are DNA identifiable by various ‘markers’ through which many people have ‘rediscovered’ their Jewish ancestry.
Here’s a list of links to 11 DNA studies I put together on the subject:
I have read articles on the Future of Jewish website here which strongly assert Ashkenazi ancestry to the original Jews of Israel, from 3000 years ago. I said in reply to this that many Jews who identify as Ashkenazi do not have DNA markers (genotype) which are said to define Genetic Jewishness. Thus, we are indeed, multi-racial, of many Races but of one Faith. How so? Because many people converted into Judaism in our history, and retained their original genotype, and are as Jewish as you or I.
You make me wonder about the difference or non-difference between theology and ideology. Great piece, again. It is also fascinating to consider the obsession of one group of people with another group - jewhaters obsessing about Jews, many white men obsessing about blacks, one Christian sect obsessing about another or this Jew about that Jew, or Sunnis vs Shia vs wahhabi vs salafi etc. Maybe there are two kinds of people. People who see themselves as victims . . . pass the peanuts.
Whilst there are Jew haters that are obsessed with us, I also know a few non Jews who are obsessed that they were not born Jewish, as they love us so much. One or two friends I consider ‘honorary Jews’, as they have such ‘chine & humour’ that they could almost pass as Jewish.
I grew up going to a reform Sunday school because my parents had no idea what to do with their Jew (just can't come to use the word Jew-ish) minds and heritage. They didn't want to be religious but most of their friends were Jews. I grew up watching my friends go to church, playing soccer on their church teams. Wanted to go to church for a long time. Maybe be a priest. Had no respect for the 'rabbi' of the reform temple even as a 6yo. Then went to Israel and everything changed, except for still enjoying my nonJew friends and families.
We’ve all got ‘journeys’ behind us, some more interesting and challenging than others .. the key is playing the hand we have been dealt, the best way we can.
Excellent piece. I shuttered when I saw that the Nazis called Jews subhuman. I was fired as a prof at the U of Guelph for calling Hamas Nazis based on the complaint of two radical anti semites, one a prof, one a VP. What did the prof call Jews publicly? Subhuman.
Glad I read the comments before looking at this Whoopie is another satanic evil who is antisemite keep your opinions to yourselves no one who’s to hear it. Well no one with a brain anyway
It's difficult to disagree with any of the points that you make.
The problem I see, the absolute illogic of the antisemites is the business whereby you refer to Jews being considered a 'threat to the white race'.
How many aggressive wars of conquest have been waged by Jews, either via the State of Israel or by any sub-national Jewish organisation?
How many airliners have Jewish terrorists hijacked?
How many suicide bombings have been conducted by Jewish extremists?
How many rockets / bombs / missiles have been directed randomly into civilian neighbourhoods by Jewish terrorist organisations?
In short, other than blatantly amateur KKK type propaganda, what serious evidence is there of such a thing?
Whereas, we have Islamic States whose leaders make speeches boasting that they shall scour Israel from the face of the earth with fire.
We have Islamist States referring to the West as the 'Great Satan' or the 'Little Satan'.
We have Islamic organisations whose very charters call for the obliteration of all things Jewish.
We have Islamic organisations openly saying - and reported as saying - that the objective of Islam is world domination.
And yet, and yet, the anti semitic hate marches continue. Hate Marches which openly call for the elimination of Israel. And somehow, somehow, Western governments tacitly and openly recognise the terrorists diplomatically and criticise Israel for defending itself.
To return to my opening point - how, in any sane world can Israel, can the Jews be considered a threat, particularly where other religious ideologies make no secret of their aggressive and violent objectives and daily demonstrate - via more & ongoing violence - their belief in such objectives?
To paraphrase a much maligned and misquoted speech:
“We must be mad, literally mad, as a nation . . . it is like watching a nation busily engaged in heaping up its own funeral pyre.”
So Christians are evil because of hatred of Jews. Hindus aren't mentioned and not once does the word Islam or Muslim appear. Are you kidding me? You seriously are telling us that Jews should not fear Muslims? Who the hell invaded Israel on October 7, 2023? Mennonites? Amish? Baptists? Methodists? Hindus? or Mormons?
Than there is this:
The Far-Right views Jews as an ominous threat to the White race. This can most demonstrably be seen in Nazi and neo-Nazi narratives, in addition to those of the Ku Klux Klan, White Aryan Resistance, Christian Identity Movement, and others.
Only someone utterly ignorant of American history would place the KKK on "The Right." The KKK was a 100% terrorist group manned by the Democrats, supported be 100% Democrat Counties and 100% Democrat areas and states. Democrat sheriffs and judges supported it.

Haha. She actually chose that last name because her mother told her that a Jewish name would open doors for her in Hollywood. Not so anymore.
She ain't like any Goldberg I ever knew

Most Ashkenazi Jews do have DNA markers of genetic Jewishness.

It's not some combination thereof, it is all of the above
Beware of anyone who plays a race card
