those links aren't relevant by the way, i just like to see racists get their comeuppance, although this is kind of like getting al capone for parking fines.

I think it's wrong to call Jew Bashing Racism, there is no Jewish race, most people who are called "JEWS" look pretty white to me (Jerry Sienfeild).  besides It's a religion, not a race.....

no offence Calum, just that you sparked a thought.

Calum:
actually the hebrews are a race.
the religion of judaism goes with it and i think that officially to be a jew you must racially also be a hebrew.

the hebrews are the "chosen people" and they've gone to long lengths to keep their race pure all this time.

race is not determined by how people look. hatred might well be determined by that but race is determined by genetic content.

to me, hispanic, greek, anglo saxon, nordic, japanese, african, australian, maori people all look pretty much alike to me. sometimes i can't tell if a person is black or not (their skin colour not always being a good indication). when i say alike, compare the tiny differences between human races with the difference between different types of cats, or different types of dogs, or lizards.

there's some evidence emerging to suggest that we really do (humans) all come from the same stock initially anyway.

Faust:
To be a Jew your mother must be a Jew.  Hence why some jewish mothers get upset at their daughters marrying non jews, whereas for their sons it's still a big thing, but not as big.  There is also a Jewish religion, but that is not the same as the Jewish race.
As Calum points out we do all have the same genetic lineage - we do obviously have two legs, two feet, extreme similarities etcetera.  Of course the fact that I was (probably) decended from African blood doesnt mean calling Africans some of those oh so lovely words neo nazis spout isnt "racism."

Most Irish people look pretty much the same as most Brits to me, doesnt stop some people calling them "paddies" or such.  And just because its a Jewish man (i think) saying it doesnt mean its not racist.
Also please note that religion bashing isnt that nice either.  Sure I may not remember the "ism" it gets filed under at the moment but if I were to refer to all Catholics as "those kid rapers" I'm still discriminating.
