Is it anti-Semitic to yell at Jewish people that they are not Jewish?

[Eko]

I think it prob is but I wanted to hear the thoughts of people on here.

1. Just remember this, it's cultural, not genetic.

[Eko]

2. I'm not sure what that means.

If its cultural and not genetic then can I decide that I am Jewish? Can anyone? I would never do so but it seems like that is what you are saying.
Not that there is anything wrong with being Jewish at all. Just want to make that clear.

5. You can go to synagogue and ask to convert.

The first love of my life was a Jewish girl. She was told by her father she couldn’t see me because I wasn’t the correct religion.

[Eko]

7. That's horrible what happend to you. Sorry.

Another reason that I am just against religion of any sort. There is always the correct religion when it come to religion isnt there?

15. It is three things

Genetic, cultural, and religious.

You can convert to Judaism. - religious
you can be non religious, but still consider yourself to be Jewish. - Cultural
Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi all can trace genetically their roots back to the area known as Israel. Ashkenazi all have genetic ties. Same for Sephardic Jews having genetic ties, and Mizrahi Jews have genetic ties.

16. Yup

and absolutely nothing to do with the colour of your skin ...... don't forget the Eithiopians.

3. Why would anyone do such a thing?

Certainly provocative and I am not naive' but...

[Eko]

4. It seems like they disagree with them.

13. Shunning.

"You're not Jewish" = you're not one of us

According to those who defend the sale of Palestinian lands in the West Bank at American synagogues, if you are a Jewish voice for peace who opposes that, you're no longer part of the tribe.

Isn't targeting or isolating Jews based on their political views regarding Israel anti-semitic? Hmmm...

[Israeli]

17. It's kind of

You have seen it for yourself on here .
Nobody ever personally attacked me for my political views on here
except fellow Jews.

[AloeVera]

18. Yes I have.

It's vey sad and of course really discourages participation I imagine.

It's very nice to "see" you Israeli. Hope all is well, I often think of you.

19. Thanks

20. Please tell me

that the anti-Bibi alliance have a chance to defeat him in upcoming elections.

6. The ultra orthodox seem to be the problem.

Same with most religions. I side on the secular.

[Redleg]

8. I think so.

I guess in certain circumstances it wouldn't be.

[Eko]

9. What circumstance would that be?

[Eko]

10. If it was used in a familiar term rather than a pejorative term I might agree with you.

There is precedent for that in our society to use what would be a derogatory term as a familiar one but this is not the case. This is people using it in a obvious derogatory way. I fail to see how this would be ok and labeling it as anti-Semitic should be easy for any of us.

[Redleg]

11. Yes- it is never appropriate to use as a perjorative

I could see saying "you're not Jewish" to a person who claims to be Jewish who is not.

[Eko]

12. Well as the post was "Is it anti-Semitic to yell at Jewish people that they are not Jewish?"

That observation is irrelevant.

[Redleg]

14. Then why ask the question in the first place?

Is it akin to telling a Christian that they are not a Christian? Because I have done so when their behavior is frequently at odds with the teaching of Christ.
