But the idea of Jews being a ‘nation’ is a bad joke!
There are four basic criteria necessary to being considered a nation:
1) a common territory.
2) a common language
3) a common history
4) a common culture
A common territory? When there are more Jews in the US than in Apartheid Israel?
A common language? When the average American Jew cannot order a coffee in Hebrew if you put a gun to his head?
A common history? You mean the commonality of Christian persecution in Europe versus the cultural flowering in the Muslim world in the Middle Ages?
A common culture? Which one? Ashkenazi? Arab? Chinese?
Interestinglyly enough, there is one group in Palestine that meets the criteria: the native Palestinians.
