re: #11 Destro

Please don’t put words in my mouth I was disputing a member’s comments that the “Ethiopian Jews were returning home” as if they were once there in ancient times and migrated to Ethiopia (you knoew another of those lost tribes myths). That is all. No other comment by me was made other than to cite DNA evidence showing the Ethopian “Beta Israel” DNA disproves the assertion that these are lost Jews and that they are identical to local Ethiopian populations. I just don’t liek religious mumbo jumbo to justify real world policies.

They’re not ‘lost Jews’, they’re just Jews. And they’ve been persecuted as Jews. I’m sorry Israel isn’t accepting your definition of who is a Jew, but you’re gonna need to live with it.
