Judaism: A Race, not a Religion

As Dr. Duke’s latest—and possibly best yet video, The Outrageous Racist Hypocrisy of Israel and World Zionism!—continues to spread virally around the world on the internet, one comment place by a viewer claiming that Jews are a religion, not a race, deserves further investigation.

The comment, placed by user “OnSafari247” read as follows:

“Judaism is a religion not a race. Hate to tell you Dr. Duke but most Jews are white.”

In reply to that comment, Dr. Duke wrote: “Judaism is a religion, but it is a religion based on the supremacism of the Jewish race, and Jewish leaders repeatedly among themselves and speaking to other Jews define themselves as a race.

“An example is Netanyahu who used that specific word. Yishai notwithstanding, Jewish scholars and leaders don’t define themselves as “white” and go out of their way to differentiate themselves from Europeans. Watch my video on Freud and Zionism and you will see the virulent anti European animus.”

Recently, Harry Ostrer, Jewish Professor of Genetics at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (located in the Bronx, New York), said that he had “developed systematic ways to separate Jews from non-Jews.”

According to The Chronicle, Ostrer’s work “shows that geographically and culturally distant Jews still have more genes in common than they do with non-Jews around them, and that those genes can be traced back to the Levant, an area including modern-day Israel.”

”It shows we share in a biological tapestry, and are connected by these genetic threads,” Ostrer was quoted as saying in the article.

The DNA that he found also tightly linked Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews, two prominent culturally and geographically distinct groups; and some of these markers are shared by the present-day Palestinians.

Below, another video by Dr. Duke which shows how Jews view themselves in terms of race.
