>Yes, the mistake is thinking that there is such a race as Jewish. Jews come from all over the world, and even if we accept the idea that there are different races of mankind (and I've seen some arguments that there are not), Jews come from all of them.

My mother was a young girl in school in San Francisco, when Yehudi Menuhin (who was then 7) played violin at mom’s school. She always talked about that performance and we all enjoyed listening to his violin music.

I have seen several documentaries in which Yehudi Menuhin appeared and he told the story of how he was given his first name. His mother and father were in New York and attempting to rent an apartment. The owner of the building said that she would not rent to Jews. So when their son was born he received the name Yehudi, from his mother so everyone would know he was Jewish.

Then we have Sammy Davis Jr., Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe who became Jews. Elvis Presley was a Jew.

I quiet those so called “good Christians” who speak negatively about Jews by reminding them that Jesus was a Jew.

Since I was young I have said that you cannot afford to hate anyone. You never know who your grandfather was! :)
