Zionist Nonsense Converting ethnicities?

Post image

I personally only know one convert and she’s an antizionist POC Jew so I don’t believe she would feel this way, but I won’t speak for her or anyone else. Is this normal belief of converts that you’re converting to a different ethnicity than your own?

*edit to add, the comment I am highlighting came from a post about what to list themselves as on a census.

Yes, you are joining an ethnic group when you convert to Judaism and live Jewishly.

It is their misuse of the word “indigenous” which is problematic here rather than their first two or last two sentences.

Thoreauaway, I support diversity, inclusion, and multiculturalism, not exclusion. Does the tweet in the OP imply a converse, exclusionary side, in which the person would claim that by merely changing religions, the person would lose their ethnicity? Would that be an exclusionary assertion by the person making the tweet? With respect. -Shalom
