Logic has not much to do with it.

Hmmm I've heard of people pretended to be Muslims but were secretly Jews, but this is the first time I've seen talk of the reverse. Or does Finkstone just have a leftist compulsion to side against his own people?

Easy! One that regards Self-Defense as an Unalienable Right. Doesn't matter what you accuse them of doing, if you're trying to kill them they have the right to defend themselves. Simple as that.

The Israelis will happily jump from one definition to the other, as it suits them.

Biology can be changed too - just more slowly. Over generations, genetic traits can be selected for or against.

Please give an example of something that you would consider immoral.

The take-home lesson here is that there is a difference between cleverness and wisdom.

Because most of the Jews who moved there post-WW2 were from the Soviet Union, or other Eastern European lands. Stalin and co may simply have assumed that they would be Communist-aligned.

What is it, in your view, that makes one set of people Jews and another not?

I tried reading it once. Personally I think that insofar as it "fits what's happening" (the claim its advocates typically make for it) it does so in much the same way as the prophecies of Nostradamus: by being so obscure and ambiguous that sooner or later something will come along that can be...

I gather that they rather want to have their own tribe, from which they can exclude you.

I think I need to get hold of the actual text of the play and read it again... it's been a while.

That's bad, but how was it Antonio's fault? No, Antonio would have died, from infection if not from immediate blood loss. The story was set in the 17th century or earlier, and Shylock didn't even want a physician to be involved. The Venitian judge called it right - Shylock was demanding that...

Cherico.... Nowhere in the story are we ever told why Shylock had such a huge grudge against Antonio. And was Antonio an "asshole" for borrowing money in order to lend it to a friend? Foolish, sure. The Book of Proverbs has clear warnings against standing surety for loans. It was not Antonio's...

No, you are misunderstanding me there. I was not implying that you thought any such thing. Yeah. Shylock is supposed to be shrewd enough to run a successful business, but at the same time, lunatic enough to expect the courts in any civilized country to uphold the sort of contract he made with...

Asked in those terms, I think the answer would have to be white collar crime. The Jewish stereotype is an unethical businessman, not a street gangster. Jews are not Gypsies.

Hyperbole, overstatement for dramatic effect, is a normal thing in human communication. The important thing is to recognize it, and not insist on taking what is obviously hyperbolic with wooden literalness.

Because to the modern-day Intersectional Left, everything has to be all about themselves.

I think they were under the impression that they'd already won. They've been living in their own echo chambers in the huge coastal cities, and simply no longer understand the people who inhabit the rural hinterland. To quote CS Lewis, the punishment for people who try to make themselves more...

I think it worth pointing out here that the Nazi plans for eastern Europe did not mean good things for the ethnic Poles, either.
