I'll admit I queried this just as you have. So be prepared to be told "you don't get it".
Exactly.
However, what this group doesn't seem to understand is that Jews have always considered themselves as separate than whatever host country they live in.
Bernie Sanders, a non-practicing Jew, will still tell you that his family is a Polish-Jewish family and that he is a Jewish American. See how quick the Polish comes off and the Jewish remains?
It isn't me that is setting a Jewish person a part, it is a Jewish person that is setting themselves a part.
When it comes to Jews, it is either a religion or a race. If a religion then anyone can convert to it, but there are those that say it is a race.
