    No, just the hostility of your posts - in the face of not much provocation (apart from mere disagreement).

    Did I read a wiki article about a particular religious group? Is this question going anywhere or do you generally try make no sense during these conversations?

    This section is relevant

    "Judaism shares some of the characteristics of a nation, an ethnicity,[15] a religion, and a culture, making the definition of who is a Jew vary slightly depending on whether a religious or national approach to identity is used.[53][54] Generally, in modern secular usage Jews include three groups: people who were born to a Jewish family regardless of whether or not they follow the religion, those who have some Jewish ancestral background or lineage (sometimes including those who do not have strictly matrilineal descent), and people without any Jewish ancestral background or lineage who have formally converted to Judaism and therefore are followers of the religion."

    Tell you what. I'll leave you to it. Talking to a paranoid agitator isn't what Saturday night is for.

    Feckin mild tbh. I was expecting something a lot more raw. If that's anti-semitic, then the standards have been lowered.

    The comments in the journal article although obviously wrong were pretty mild, did you read it? I don't see what you reference to the holocaust is about though. Does it make the comments more wrong? If a German was insulted about their race would that be less wrong?
