This allows us to acknowledge a great deal of shared inheritance while disagreeing (and aren't we good at that!) as to just what we do share. <br /><br /><br />Mostly, I guess, the genuine scientific knowledge that we, collectively, share significant DNA markers allows us to poke a (metaphorical) sharp stick in the eye of the likes of Shlomo Sand and his ilk.<br /><br /><br />Always a good feeling.Brian Goldfarbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-71276876847394727132012-08-27T12:14:53.372+03:002012-08-27T12:14:53.372+03:00Has become?

"Nationality" is not the only word you can use for this kind of grouping and most of the words you could use don't have exact definitions in common usage.yitzgoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-42642804472211092922012-08-18T00:22:44.514+03:002012-08-18T00:22:44.514+03:00So Brian, what does that mean? are we a nation, a ...So Brian, what does that mean? are we a nation, a people a race? or SimplyJews?GideonSwortnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-31356336184526593132012-08-16T19:37:19.999+03:002012-08-16T19:37:19.999+03:00i really don't give a damn about the Olympics....i really don't give a damn about the Olympics. I didn't watch them, follow them or even care about them.
