The Jesuits are the Jews...

Or at least they are the Zionists.

I honestly don't even know what a Jew is tbh. The more I dig, the more confusing that word gets. My ex is a Jew (by birth, not religion). Back in the day (long before I had any idea about anything) when I asked her about it, she had no idea what a Jew was, except a specific phenotype that looks virtually identical to a German (in her family's case). It was also the Religion according to her, and you could be a Jew, but not a part of the Jewish religion, or you could be a part of the Jewish religion but not a Jew. I have since come to find out there are multiple, virtually completely distinct Jewish Religions (something I'm fairly certain she did not know).

So is a Jew (by religion) that is not Jewish (by birth) that is not of the Jerusalem Jews, but of the Babylonian Jews, a "Jew" according to the Jews (by religion, not by birth) that are of Jerusalem? How about vise versa? How about the Jews that are Jewish (by Jerusalem religion) v. the Jews (by birth, not religion). Do either of them consider the others to be Jews?

The whole thing is so terrifically confusing. I think one of the world's greatest mysteries is; "What is a Jew?"

Of course you can't really ask anyone that question, because that would be anti-Semitic, even though none of the Jews I know look Semitic (AKA the children of Shem, i.e. Arabic).

I also think that most Jews (by birth) are almost as clueless as the rest of the world about what a Jew is.
