Ethnicities: Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi Etc.
Jews from different parts of the world have developed distinct cultures and customs. Jews from Germany and Eastern Europe are known as Ashkenazim. Much of what, in America, is thought of as Jewish — bagels, Yiddish, black hats — are actually specific to Ashkenazi culture.
Jews from Spain, the Iberian Peninsula and the Spanish Diaspora are known as Sephardim. Starting in the eighth century, they enjoyed a “Golden Age” of harmony with Christians and Muslims in Spain that lasted for about 200 years. When Jews were exiled from Spain and Portugal at the end of the 15th century, they fled to other areas of the world, bringing their unique traditions, including their language–Ladino–with them.
Mizrahim, or Oriental Jews originate primarily from Iraq, Persia (Iran), and Yemen, but can be found everywhere from Morocco to Calcutta. Though Mizrahi Jews originally faced severe discrimination in Israel because they were seen as provincial, they are now gaining more acceptance in Israeli society.
In addition, a community of Jews has lived in Ethiopia for more than 1,000 years. The majority of Ethiopian Jews immigrated to Israel in the 1980s and ’90s, where many continue to observe a number of distinct practices and customs. Like the Mizrahi Jews before them, Ethiopian Israelis have encountered discrimination and have had to adapt to a very different culture.
There are also numerous Jewish communities in Africa, such as the Abayudaya community in Uganda. In addition, in the United States, the increasing popularity of intermarriage, interracial adoption and conversion has fostered a growing population of Jews of color, particularly Jews with Asian, Latino and African ancestry.

If any more information is desired, I would suggest typing the words "ethnic" and "Jew" into the search bar on your preferred search engine, and you should be able from there to access a wealth of material on the subject.
As to the post where you claim I "put words in your mouth", I would suggest that you carefully re-read that post. I distinctly remember using the verbiage 'may or may not' with regards to any possible motives for your actions. That's not exactly putting words into anyone's mouth, nor is it an accusation. In fact, it was explicitly written so as to not be either of those things.
As I recall it I was advising you to choose your words carefully. Like I said last time, we're not the only ones reading this thread.
Noah was greatly inftariated by what had taken place, and he pronounced a curse on Canaan, "Cursed be Canaan; a slave of slaves shall he be to his brothers (Shem and Japheth)."

This is absolutely insane.
These meatsticks are seriously mentally ill. And what's really sad is they're trying to convince everyone it's normal.
It almost feels like were in two opposite timelines at the same time. Everything is soooo f**ked. God help us all please.

Anne Heche's autopsy examination shows the actress was not on drugs at time of fiery car crash
Heche's autopsy report from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner was obtained Tuesday by Fox News Digital. The report showed that the 53-year-old actress had previously used coc aine and marijuana, but was not impaired at the time of the crash.
"The toxicology tested from the hospital admission blood showed the presence of benzoylecgonine, an inactive metabolite of coc aine," the coroner's Public Information Officer Sarah Ardalani explained to Fox News Digital. "Therefore, there was no evidence of impairment by illicit substances at the time of the crash."

The issue of her car being taken over seems to have magically disappeared again. Much like how Hastings car crash that was used to kill him seem to have ignored the issue of the car being taken over.

WOAH: Dr. Fauci May Have Just Lied Under Oath; Here’s What We Know…
When Fauci was asked about his role in responding to FOIA requests about his emails from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Fauci said that he was not immediately involved. However, as the Daily Caller points out, “the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) previously claimed otherwise”

Huge Wave of Liberal Men are Getting Vasectomies to Protest Overturning Roe
The abortion chain tells patients on its website that the sterilization procedure is “almost” pain-free, comparing it to “going to the dentist or getting blood drawn,” according to The Blaze. It also notes that Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, does not cover vasectomies, so Planned Parenthood facilities charge for the procedure.

Can you imagine being Press Secretary for a President who rarely talks to you?
Donald J. Trump’s legal team struggled to explain how the original Declaration of Independence made its way to a storage unit leased by the former President in Queens, New York.
The National Archives Museum in Washington, DC, is home to the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. These founding documents, along with the Lawrence F. O'Brien Gallery, the Public Vaults, and the David M.
U.S. President Donald Trump was shown a handwritten parchment copy of the U.S. Declaration of Independence - one of only two known to exist - during a visit to British Prime Minister Theresa May’s office on Tuesday.
Benjamin Franklin Gates, a historian, along with friend Riley Poole and archivist Abigail Chase, search for a massive lost Freemason treasure, of which a map is hidden on the back of the Declaration of Independence, pointing to the secret location of this "national treasure".
