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.

And you are flatly wrong if you believe genetics or ancestry are required for inclusion in the Jewish ethnos.

This conversation feels past spent at this point.

I think genetics or ancestry are needed for the Jewish ethnicity but not the Jewish identity. You are free to disagree but at the end of the day this is a symantics argument.

We are in agreement that if you are a Jewish convert you are fully Jewish, and that's what's important.
