Ok, you are the dumb one. A jew can be either or, or both.
A person born in Israel is a Jew. By race.
A person who practices Judaism is a Jew. By religion.
Who's the dumb mo fo now?

Don't act a fool.
Disliking Jews as a whole is the same as disliking Negroes, or whites, or poor, or homeless, or any group in general.
The problem with the Jews is that they did not understand that the abominable thing that causes desolation, was precisely the bloody animal sacrifices. That is the reason the Temples were being destroyed.
This is the reason Jesus came so we know how loving is the true God. (He wants mercy, not sacrifices)
He eliminated the bond to the eternal sacrifice with the destruction of the last temple. Although in a view is continued by catholics with the Eucharist, this is only in their symbolic minds so, because no man has power to convert a bread in Jesus flesh.
America is trying to help Israel get the land and build the temple, then it is possible that old roots come back and they decide to start animal sacrifice again, I think that would be the end. That is the reason why God has allowed their brothers Arabs to have the land, because Islam does not do animal sacrifices. But Islam left the old love, Jesus, forgetting that a servant (The Noble Mohammad) is not higher than his Master (Jesus).
Today all have forgotten God and the Messiah, and all they think is about power and money. I hope Muslims and Jewish and Christians go into the light of truth and love.
EDIT:
Not that I am endorsing Islamism but there are things to compare.

There's a lot of misinformation and legally recognised capitulation to the idea that Jewish is a legitimate racial designation and, actually, it's all just prejudiced nonsense. There is no Jewish race in the same way that there is no English or British race and there never has been.
If Jewish is a legitimate racial distinction, then, so is Dundonian.
The same prejudiced arguments and attitudes which sustain the myth of a Jewish racial distinction is responsible for the iniquitous and wholly artificial establishment of Royalty. There is no such heritable biological trait in either case. It is an artificial imposition. It may be legally recognised, socially and, even, academically condoned, but is wrong. It's made up. The Jewish Race is not a real thing; only a divisive invention.

Are Jews a Race?
In the 1980s, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Jews are a race, at least for purposes of certain anti-discrimination laws. Their reasoning: at the time these laws were passed, people routinely spoke of the "Jewish race" or the "Italian race" as well as the "Negro race," so that is what the legislators intended to protect.
But many Jews were deeply offended by that decision, offended by any hint that Jews could be considered a race. The idea of Jews as a race brings to mind nightmarish visions of Nazi Germany, where Jews were declared to be not just a race, but an inferior race that had to be rounded up into ghettos and exterminated like vermin.
But setting aside the emotional issues, Jews are clearly not a race.
Race is a genetic distinction, and refers to people with shared ancestry and shared genetic traits. You can't change your race; it's in your DNA. I could never become black or Asian no matter how much I might want to.
Common ancestry is not required to be a Jew. Many Jews worldwide share common ancestry, as shown by genetic research; however, you can be a Jew without sharing this common ancestry, for example, by converting. Thus, although I could never become black or Asian, blacks and Asians have become Jews (Sammy Davis Jr. and Connie Chung).

It is a race - because people of Jewish origin tended to be geographically concentrated in an area where people had certain characteristics.
Judaism has been identified through those characteristics and thus Judaism is a religion AND a race - not exclusively.
You should qualify your posts by saying - I disagree with the Jewish religion, but I am not against the people of Jewish geographical origins. You mo fo.

I'm quiet sure it's an ethnicity too. People can be Jewish by heritage, but another religion by choice.

Being Jewish is not a race
Being Jewish is not a race because Jews do not share one common ancestry or biological distinction. People of many different races have become Jewish people over the years.
Being Jewish is not a nationality
Being Jewish is not a nationality because Jews have been dispersed throughout the world for almost two thousand years. People of many different nationalities are Jewish.
Being Jewish is like being a citizen of a religious movement
Being Jewish means you are a part of a religious movement. However, the great majority of Jews become a part of the religious movement through birth and not due to their beliefs or actions. In this way, being Jewish is like being a citizen of a religious movement.
A Jewish identity is automatically bestowed on the babies of Jewish mothers (according to Orthodox and Conservative Judaism) and of Jewish mothers or fathers (according to Reform Judaism). This Jewish identity stays with them throughout life even if they don't actively practice Judaism.
If a person is not born Jewish, he/she can undergo the process of conversion to become a Jew. A person who was not born Jewish or has not gone through the conversion process is not considered a Jew even if he or she believes in Judaism and observes Jewish practices. The conversion process is very meaningful because it is the only way for a non-Jew to become Jewish.

You're wrong--a Jew is actually a human being, not an race or a religion. Disliking anyone you've never even met is pretty illogical.

Judaism is NOT a race...people of any given race have particular features. Islam is not a race either.
The Jews are a particular people....it is not just a religion nor ethnicity. They are descendants of Abraham. They speak many languages, are comprised of many cultures, languages and, yes, some people of particualr races are Jews...but Judaism itself is not a race.
