if jews is a race of dark people from the middle east and north africa why are white people claming to be jews

Question

no racist just wondering because i'm part irish and spanish

Answer 1

Jewish is not a race. It is a religion.

Any race of the world can be accepted into any religion of the world.

But a person of one race cannot become a person of another race. So since you are of Irish and Spanish descent you could not become Black. But you could change from Catholic to Protestant!

Answer 2

Jews are not a race, but they do not seek converts and they do claim a common ancestry. DNA studies have shown that most have a genetic links to present day eastern Mediterranean populations (Lebanon, Syria, Palestine) but also a significant inter-mixture from the populations were they lived. That is, they are an ethic group that intermarried with the local population where they lived, but they kept their religion and ethic identity longer than most emigrant groups do,

Answer 3

Jewish is a religion. Anyone who converts to Judaism will be considered a Jew. Race plays no part in it.

Answer 4

Jews aren't a race though, so your question makes no sense.
