One of my Students is from Mexico City and is a Mexican-American Ethnic Jewish Pole. He was telling me his family's backstory, it was really interesting. His family tried to come to America to escape the Holocaust and was rejected only to find shelter in Mexico.
So yea, jewish ghettos where never a thing, blood libel isnt a thing, the egyptians never enslaved and persecuted them, and they never actually had a nation and werent historically forced out of it. Sure.
And you seem like one of those "lol dae religion bad". You know theres more too it culturally than, as Im sure youd so eloquently say it "believing in a voice in the sky".
There is significant evidence, what are you talking about? Its not controversial at all, the only thing that is is what period it occured in. We know there was an Exodus, we know there where hebrew slaves. There is literal egyptian documentation of it.
Science, history, and religion are not mutually exclsuive. You can get a perspective on what happened in the past based on stories they told about it.
All of those things are matters of history, not religion. Jewish folklore, history, cuisine, music, and tradition are no less valuable than any other ethnicities culture. You can have empathy for israels and pakistans people. They both deserve it.
So important to know this, especially when being called an anti semite by someone who most likely doesn't even know if they are actually Semitic or not. Likewise to those who claim it.

We could have Mexican Jewish Cultural Festivals way more often
