I never said that all Jews are our enemies, I said that Zionism itself is a form of violent religious extremism. you can't be truly faithful to Israel first, then America, if you claim to be a "patriot."

Well, i was originally attracted to this topic because i wanted to know where the trillions went. And wow, did this go way off topic.
One of the biggest things i noticed though is how many times it was brought up about race and racist against the Jews. My question is, when did being Jewish become a race?
Judaism 101
I see this come up all the time. Correct me if i am wrong please.
Before i get brought into this and get accused of antisemitism, that is not the case at all. I don't care about all the blather that has been spewed on this topic about Jewish people. I came here to learn about the original topic about the missing money.
